The President of Argentina received this picture n called it 'junk mail', 8 days later his son died. A man received this picture & immediately sent out copies..his surprise was winning the lottery. Alberto Martinez received this picture, gave it 2 his secretary to make copies but they forgot to distribute: she lost her job & he lost his family. This picture is miraculous & sacred. Forward to 1O people.
GIFT OF GIVING JOY Category: Religion and Philosophy GIFT OF GIVING JOY Many of us learned anger at the hands of our parents and elders. Not anger as a tool to teach when a child does something inappropriate, but anger at their lives, anger at their situations, anger at God. Unknowingly, many of us took that very anger into our own experience. Our parents and elders weren't always equipped to teach us anything other than what they learned. The Good News of God is that we can unlearn the anger of our past, and learn the love of our Lord. We can heal from the anger that we've carried for so very long, and instead bestow upon our children the gift of giving joy. Let's not pass along the sins of our elders to the next generation. Become a parent who turns it around.
Your Promise to God: I turn away from any anger that I inherited and turn it around to the peace of God in my life, and in the life of my family.
I am working on that anger issue passed down to me by "Good Ole Mom" amongst others. (sorry if this makes you mad, or should I say Madder Mom, but maybe it will help) I just went on a rampage of anger and I realize I hurt a lot of people with my words. People from my boyfriend to my Mom and everyone in between who happened to look at me funny in my 2-3 days of 'Setting My Boundaries.' Thanks goes to Vera, (my counselor)who handed me a pamphlet on 'Boundaries.' I took it and ran with it. I said 'you aint gone do this to me anymore, you aint gone do that to me anymore!!' 'You just wanna push all my buttons cuz you Mr. Right and I'm Mrs. Wrong. Right now I'm the one who's gone sing this song. I'm a be Ms. Wright TODAY!!!! (MJB)There was even a couple of fist fights, two that I can remember. Counselor wanted to put me away. I said please do before I.......Instead she gave me a new medication. Seroquel 25 mg. It's supposed to stop the psychosis. We will see. Hope I can live with the side effects, if any...
The song I put on when I'm haven me one of them days where I just don't wanna be bothered is Mary J. Blidge's "Roses." I'll put that mug on repeat, put my headphones on and just 'Let it Go.' By the end of the song the tears come.. Love you MJB
A white man asked his black friend, 'Are you voting for Barack Obama just because he's black?'The black man responded by saying, 'Why not? Hell, in this country men are pulled over everyday just cause they're black; passed over for promotions just cause they're black; considered to be criminals justcause they're black; and there are going to be thousands of you who won't be voting for him just because he's black! However, you do not seem to have a problem with that! This country was built with the sweatand whip off the black slaves' back, and now a descendent of those same slaves has a chance to lead the same country, where we weren't even considered to be people, where we weren't allowed to be educated, drink from the same water fountains, eat in the same restaurants, or even vote. So yes! I'm going to vote for him! But it's not just because he's black, but because he is hope, he is change, and he now allows me to understand when my grandson says that he wants to be president when he grows up, it is not a fairy tale but a short term goal. He now sees,understands and knows that he can achieve, withstand and do ANYTHING just because he's black!'
FOR INFORMATION ONLY Just in case you are voting for OBAMA, Please be informed before you vote.
PLEASE ADVISE EVERYONE YOU KNOW THAT THEY ABSOLUTELY CANNOT GO TO THE POLLS WEARING ANY OBAMA SHIRTS, PINS OR HATS, IT IS AGAINST THE LAW AND WILL BE GROUNDS TO HAVE THE POLLING OFFICIALS TO TURN YOU AWAY. THAT IS CONSIDERED CAMPAIGNING AND NO ONE CAN CAMPAIGN WITHIN 100 FEET OF THE POLLS.
THEY ARE BANKING ON US BEING EXCITED AND NOT BEING AWARE OF THIS LONG STANDING LAW,THAT YOU CAN BET WILL BE ENFORCED THIS YEAR!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! THEY ARE BANKING THAT IF YOU ARE TURNED AWAY YOU WILL NOT GO HOME AND CHANGE YOUR CL OTHES... PLEASE JUST DON'T WEAR OBAMA GEAR OF ANY SORTS TO THE POLLS!! PLEASE SHARE THIS INFORMATION, OH AND FOR THOSE OF YOU WHO WERE ALREADY AWARE THIS WAS NOT MEANT TO INSULT YOUR INTELLIGENCE.
"If you are able to be productive, in spite of the fact that you have bipolar disorder, such as working a part time job or volunteering for a worthwhile cause, or at a position that takes advantage of your gifts and talents, then you should feel grateful. This is another good thing about bipolar disorder for you – that you are not idle – for too many people with the disorder remain idle, and idleness can lead to depression, depression to a bipolar depressive episode, and an episode to instability. By your productivity, you are remaining stable, and this is a good thing for you." ~David Oliver

“I Fell In Love With Myself, And He Proposed!” “Hey Paige! After a loonnngggg string of relationships that never seemed to go anywhere, I finally made a move to change what I was doing and WOW did it work! With just a few attitude adjustments (and tactic adjustments, too!), I had a new view on men and dating. Suddenly, I had a whole new species of men interested in me, and by respecting myself and my own beliefs and needs, I was able to start looking for what I really wanted: a great guy who could respect me and love me for who I was, and who I could share my crazy life with. And guess what...It happened! It wasn't long before the man of my dreams and I were in a solid, healthy, meaningful relationship; and wouldn't you know it...not long after that, he uttered the big "C word" (commitment)...and not long after that, he popped the question, and I said YES! I love your advice, and I think every woman should [follow] it! I hope other women will have the same amazing results that I did!” --Kylynn http://www.datingwithoutdrama.com/LWLY/sl/lwly-2.html
A Description of Mania in being Manic Depressive
November 11, 2009 Pisces (2/19-3/20) Follow through will be your worst enemy today. You'll start things and work on things, but completion is a whole other matter. Focus on what you can do, but don't burden yourself with too many details or deadlines. That way, you keep the momentum moving forward without getting overwhelmed. Checking things off your list is going to be a struggle, but you can still feel a sense of accomplishment.
