What's on Tap and What You Need to Know About Drinking Water
by
Leigh Erin Connealy, M.D. (see
all articles by this author)
(NaturalNews) The National Resources Defense Council (NRDC),
an environmental action organization, recently conducted an
in-depth study into the quality of drinking water across the
United States. Reviewing the tap water quality data for 19 major
U.S. cities, including Los Angeles, they compiled their findings
and made them available to the public in June of 2003. 11 contaminants
were labeled to be of "high concern" or "some concern" for the
LA area's water supply. Since much of Los Angeles and Orange
County drinking water comes from the same two sources, the Colorado
River and Northern California, this information should be of
note to those living in the Orange County area.
Five contaminants fell under the "high concern" category, including
Lead, Perchlorate, Radon, Haloacetic Acids (HAAs) and Total
Trihalomethanes (TTHMs).
Lead
Lead is a heavy metal that generally enters the drinking supplies
due to the corrosion of pipes, plumbing or faucets. Often, the
lead levels of the water at your home are much higher than the
levels from the water's source. This is usually the result of
contamination that may be occurring at your home, due to old
or corroded pipes. The national standard (NS) for lead, as determined
by the EPA, is 15 ppb.
Health Effects: Infants, young children and pregnant women are
particularly susceptible to the adverse effects of lead. In
serious cases, poisoning can cause permanent brain damage and,
in less severe cases, can cause children to suffer from decreased
intelligence and problems with growth, development and behavior.
In adults, lead can increase blood pressure, harm kidney function,
adversely affect the nervous system and damage red blood cells.
Perchlorate
Perchlorate in the water usually comes from rocket fuel spills
or leaks at military facilities. Additionally, perchlorate is
used in a variety of products and applications, including electronic
tubes, vehicle airbags, leather tanning and fireworks. The NS
is 4 ppb, however no level has been determined to be safe.
Health Effects: Perchlorate disrupts the thyroid function and
is a suspected carcinogen. Changes in thyroid hormone levels
can result in thyroid gland tumors. In children, thyroid disruption
can adversely affect proper development and in adults it can
interfere with metabolism regulation. Disruption of the thyroid
in pregnant women may impact the fetus and result in delayed
development and decreased learning ability.
Radon
Radon is a radioactive gas that results from the natural breakdown
of uranium in the ground. The NS is an average of 300 pCi/L.
Health Effects: Radon is known to cause lung cancer. No level
is considered to be safe and a single particle of radon can
cause cancer. The EPA estimates that radon in drinking water
causes approximately 168 deaths from lung and stomach cancer
each year (89% from lung cancer caused by breathing radon released
to the indoor air from water, 11% from stomach cancer caused
by consuming water that contains radon). Radon is the second
leading cause of lung cancer in the U.S., after smoking.
Haloacetic Acids (HAAs)/Total Trihalomethanes (TTHMs)
HAAs and TTHMs are volatile organic contaminates often referred
to as disinfection by-products or organochlorines and result
when chlorine used to disinfect drinking water interacts with
organic matter in the water. The EPA has classified some TTHMs
as probable human carcinogens. The NS for HAAs is an average
of 60 ppb and for TTHMs, an average of 80 ppb.
Health Effects: Disinfection by-products have been linked to
cancers of the bladder, pancreas, colon, rectum, brain, and
childhood leukemia.
The following six contaminants fall under the category of "some
concern":
Cryptosporidium
Cryptosporidium is a waterborne parasite that lives and reproduces
by the millions in both animal and human intestines until it
is shed in the feces. The NS is 0.
Health Effects: Cryptosporidium can cause severe diarrhea, nausea,
abdominal cramping and fever for up to 2 weeks. Currently there
is no antibiotic that can kill the parasite. It poses a significant
health risk to children and those with weakened immune systems.
Total Coliform Bacteria (TCM)
TCM is a broad class of bacteria, many of which live in the
intestines of humans and animals. Most coliform bacteria are
harmless, however their presence indicates that the water may
contain harmful bacteria such as E. coli. The NS for TCM is
0.
Arsenic
Arsenic found in drinking supplies comes from mining, industrial
processes, past use of arsenic containing pesticides, and natural
leaching erosion from rock. Currently the NS for arsenic is
50 ppb but will be lowered to 10 ppb in 2006.
Health Effects: Arsenic is toxic to humans and a known carcinogen.
The National Academy of Sciences (NAS) has determined that arsenic
in drinking water is known to cause cancer of the bladder, skin
and lungs. An NAS report published in 2001 stated that a person
who drinks 2 liters of water a day (containing 10 ppb arsenic)
has a lifetime total fatal cancer risk greater than 1 in 333.
Chromium
Chromium is a naturally occurring metal used in industrial processes,
including metal plating for chrome bumpers and making stainless
steel, paint, rubber and wood preservatives. The NS for chromium
is 100 ppb.
Health Effects: Chromium ingestion can cause a host of health
problems, ranging form skin irritation to damage to kidney,
liver and nerve tissue.
Gross Alpha Radiation (GAR)/Gross Beta Radiation (GBR)
GAR and GBR generally result from the decay of radioactive minerals
in underground rocks and are sometimes by-products of the mining
and nuclear industries. The NS for GAR is an average of 15 pCi/L
and for GBR, an average of 50 pCi/L.
Health Effects: No level of exposure to GAR or GBR is considered
safe as they are both radioactive and can cause cancer.
Uranium
Uranium is released from minerals in the ground, often as the
result of mining or as a by-product of the nuclear industry.
The NS for uranium is 30 micrograms/L.
Health Effects: Uranium is radioactive and known to cause cancer
when ingested. The EPA has determined that it causes serious
kidney damage at levels above 300 mcg/L.
While Orange County has strict regulations on the quality of
drinking water, you should still be aware of what is coming
out of your tap. The EPA established national standards are
determined to be the highest level of contaminants allowed in
the water. The NRDC however, maintains that no level of any
of these contaminants is safe.
So what can you do? First, contact the EPA for a list of state-certified
labs that can test the water at your home. Finding out what
is in your tap water can help you to determine what kind of
filtration system is right for you. Your water standards should
be higher than the EPA's to ensure the safety of your family.
When choosing a water filtration system, I recommend a unit
that also regulates the pH level of your water like Jupiter
Melody by Ion Life available through perfectlyhealthy at (www.perfectlyhealthy.net)
. Proper pH levels can further protect you from any contaminants
that you might come in contact with and also ward off disease
and infection. You want to drink water that reaches a pH level
of approximately 9.0 while trying to maintain a blood pH level
of 7.43.
For a list of state-certified labs, call the EPA's hotline at
800-426-4791 or go online at (www.epa.gov/safewater/privatewells/labs.html)
. To review the entire report by the NRDC, visit their website
at (www.nrdc.org)
. I recommend the Jupiter Melody Ionizer available through perfectlyhealthy,
it excludes contaminants from your drinking water as well as
providing a pH level of approximately 9.0. Visit (www.perfectlyhealthy.net)
for more information.
Sleep Better by Turning Off Electronic Accessories
by Neil McLaughlin (see
all articles by this author)
(NaturalNews) Nowadays most people sleep in a room that is lit
up like a Christmas tree. The alarm clock shows the time in
bright red. The cell phone is charging. The Computer is still
running. The DVD clock is flickering 12:00. The answering
machine has more lights than R2D2. Are people so afraid of the
dark that they prefer this many night lights? Each and every
energy source takes a small toll on the sleep pattern of people
nearby, bombarding them with various forms of radiation as they
sleep. The following are some devices to be wary of:
* Alarm Clock
Red LEDs interrupt sleep more than other types. For this reason
it is best to not have any electric alarm clock near the bed.
Try to find an old-fashioned one that requires winding and has
actual bells on top, or move it to the next room.
* Cell Phone Charger
While cell phones can be turned off at night, the charger often
has some light indicating power and perhaps another showing
the battery level. Some beep when they are done charging. It
is best to charge phones in the kitchen or someplace other than
the bedroom. Note that most cell phones are always on and one
must actually remove the battery to be sure they are not transmitting.
* Cordless Phone and Base
While cell phones have had a lot of bad press regarding their
causing brain tumors, few have noted that cordless phones can
be equally dangerous. The main culprit is not actually the handset
but the base itself, which acts like a mini cell
phone tower, blasting radiation 24/7. The worst part
is, the base is often kept right next to the bed. It should
be moved to another room, or better yet replaced with an old-fashioned
corded phone.
* Computer Fan
Computer fans start out quiet on new computers but become increasingly
loud, eventually failing and causing the computer to overheat,
whereby the computer will perform even more slow and erratic
than if you installed Vista. If you can hear the fan, it needs
to be cleaned. Important: power down and disconnect all
power cords before opening the box. Actually unplug the three
pronged cords in the back. Open the computer (press tabs may
be on the top and bottom). The fan likely inside has a cowl
cover that opens on a hinge to expose the fan. The fan has a
power plug and plugs into the circuit board. Unplug it, and
remove the fan. Use a wire brush to clean it from both sides.
Vacuum out the cowl cover or use pressurized gas. Brush the
back of the computer, especially the vents. Avoid breathing
the dust.
* Speakers, Amplifier
Speakers normally have a separate power supply and light, and
they can make a loud humming noise on their own, particularly
if the volume is up high. These should be turned off along with
the computer. If you can, plug all computer related devices
into one surge protector and turn the whole strip off at night.
* TV, Radio, DVD, Video Game Console, iPod, Laptop, PDA,
Blackberry
You may be used to falling asleep with certain devices on. DVD
players often play automatically, looping on the menu screen
while playing the maddening 12 second theatrical sound byte
over and over. It is best to power down any devices in your
room.
* AC Maintenance
If the compressor or condenser in your AC starts going, it will
be quite loud at times, making a loud noise for long durations.
Sometimes a tune-up or gas charge will quiet the unit, otherwise
certain parts should be replaced. Apartment complexes are notorious
for having loud AC units outside but they normally fix them
if you report the bad unit.
* Local Power Lines
It is best to avoid living close to main power
lines and/or power substations. If you fall within
their shadow or are within earshot you are too close.
If humans could see the electromagnetic sources around them
they would know they are being bombarded with various types
of radiation constantly. Radio waves, cell phone towers, WiFi
cable, power lines, transformers, and electronic devices in
our homes all contribute small and large amounts of energy constantly.
This has only been the case for the last 50-100 years.
Most of these devices are frivolous as humans can survive in
the wilderness with only about 7 items including sipping straw,
digging stick, cutting blade, water canteen, fishing line, throwing
spear and flint stone. People assume that modern devices make
their lives so much easier, but any advantage they gain toward
higher productivity only translates to higher corporate profits,
and they trade away intuitive connections with nature that are
essential for survival. Meanwhile work hours continue to increase
while hunter gatherers only worked a three or four day week,
spending the rest of their time socializing.
While people tend to get used to being surrounded by electronics,
things certainly feel a lot quieter when the power in the neighborhood
is out. Turning off devices can't hurt, and one can certainly
sleep better knowing that their electric bill will be lower
next month.

Hey Jerome
I did the numbers on NIGGER 42/6 and HONKEY 33/6
One thing I found interesting, the numbers in NIGGER were interesting
to me (5+9+7+7+5+9).

Response
Concentrate on this Sentence
'To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.' When God takes something from your grasp, He's not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence..... 'The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you.' Something good will happen to you today; something that you have been waiting to hear. This is not a joke; someone will call you by phone or will speak to you about something that you were waiting to hear.
How Coke and Pepsi Are Helpful
A man went to a barbershop to have his hair cut and his beard
trimmed. As the barber began to work, They talked about so many
things and various subjects. When they eventually touched on
the subject of God, the barber said: "I don't believe that God
exists."
"Why do you say that?" asked the customer.
"Well, you just have to go out in the street to realize that
God doesn't exist. Tell me, if God exists, would there be so
many sick people? Would there be abandoned children? If God
existed, there would be neither suffering nor pain. I can't
imagine loving a God who would allow all of these things."
The customer thought for a moment, but didn't respond because
he didn't want to start an argument. The barber finished his
job and the customer left the shop.
Just after he left the barbershop, he saw a man in the street
with long, stringy, dirty hair and an untrimmed beard. He looked
dirty and un-kept.
The customer turned back and entered the barber shop again and
he said to the barber:
"You know what? Barbers do not exist." "How can you say that?"
asked the surprised barber. "I am here, and I am a barber. And
I just worked on you!"
"No!" the customer exclaimed. "Barbers don't exist because if
they did, there would be no people with dirty long hair and
untrimmed beards, like that man outside."
"Ah, but barbers DO exist! What happens is, people do not come
to me."
"Exactly!"- affirmed the customer. "That's the point! God, too,
DOES exist! What happens, is, people don't go to Him and do
not look for Him. That's why there's so much pain and suffering
in the world."

Pray truly does change things. I thank and appreciate you, Uncle Jerome and all the V.I.P. family and other loved ones and friends that may view this email. I type this email as a sorrowful and grieved servicemember and warrior for my country because I finally know the truth. I finally the true motives as to why we pursue in efforts and actions in the Middle East. It hurts and grieves my heart to know that our government and the powers to be are willing to sacrifice servicemembers and civilians just to put more money and profit in their pockets and sell is as being "War On Terrorism." These are just some statistics dating as of 2006 coming direct from this movie.
As it stands .40 cents from every dollar Congress controls
goes to private contractor for the "War On Terrorism"
A bag of clean laundry done by Halliburton/KBR overseas costs
the taxpayers $99
A 6-pack of soda costs taxpayers $45
All I can do now is pray and look to God to mend my heart. I have truly lost my faith in my elected officials and man in general. How can we improve Iraq and Afghanistan when they see how our leaders and the powers can be take advantage of us and lead troops and civilians to malicious sacrifice for PROFIT! Please view this movie along with Zeitgeist - The Movie. Keep our troops and civilians overseas in your prayers for they are doing what they feel is right and for the empowerment of our country and the Middle East. Pray that society and all of us wake up before it is too late.

Snakes in the Pulpit
Dallas, TX (BlackNews.com) - National Talk Show host Reuben
Armstrong has put TD Jakes, Eddie Long, Creflo Dollar, and Joel
Osteen, the top four Mega-pastors, "Under Fire".
The Reuben Armstrong Show airs on Streaming Faith which is
the largest Christian based website in the world and broadcasts
in eight states and on TV around the World. Armstrong will release a
new book titled Snakes in the Pulpit. The book is scheduled
for release on August 29th, 2007. Armstrong will be sending
a certified letter to these four pastors asking them to resign
from their positions as Pastor because they are "deceiving true believers." Armstrong,
speaking as a former minister says, "game recognizes game
and these ministers are playing games with people lives."
In Snakes in the Pulpit Armstrong states, "...these four
pastors are using the word of God to manipulate the true believers
for fame and fortune." This book will expose the deception that
these four "pulpit pimps", as Armstrong defines them in his
book, are using the word of God to get rich and support their
royal family. According to Armstrong, these mega-pastors have
deceived thousands and thousands of people and are Raking in
millions and millions of dollars from their extremely large
congregations.
There are several mega-churches that are featured on national
TV and radio that have spawned a new type of celebrity: "Mega-pastors".
These men have risen in stature and gained the public's trust
as irreproachable men of God as their churches have attracted
hundreds of thousands of members and millions of viewers and
listeners.

To All The Kids Who Survived The 1930's 40's, 50's, 60's and 70's !!
First, we survived being born to mothers who smoked and/or drank while they carried us.
They took aspirin, ate blue cheese dressing and didn't get tested for diabetes.
Then after that trauma, our baby cribs were covered with bright colored lead-based paints.
We had no childproof lids on medicine bottles, doors or cabinets and when we rode our bikes, we had no helmets, not to mention, the risks we took hitchhiking.
As children, we would ride in cars with no seat belts or air bags.
Riding in the back of a pick up on a warm day was always a special treat.
We drank water from the garden hose and not from a bottle.
We shared one soft drink with four friends, from one bottle and NO ONE actually died from this.
We ate cupcakes, bread and butter and drank soda pop with sugar in it, but we weren't overweight because we were always outside playing.
We would leave home in the morning and play all day, as long as we were back when the streetlights came on.
No one was able to reach us all day. And we were O.K.
We would spend hours building our go-carts out of scraps and then ride down the hill, only to find out we forgot the brakes. After running into the bushes a few times, we learned to solve the problem.
We did not have Playstations, Nintendo's, X-boxes, no video games at all, no 99 channels on cable, no video tape movies, no surround sound, no cell phones, no personal computers, no Internet or Internet chat rooms...we had friends and we went outside and found them!
We fell out of trees, got cut, broke bones and teeth and there were no lawsuits from these accidents.
We made up games with sticks and tennis balls and ate worms and although we were told it would happen, we did not put out very many eyes, nor did the worms live in us forever.
We rode bikes or walked to a friend's house and knocked on the door or rang the bell, or just walked in and talked to them!
Little League had tryouts and not everyone made the team. Those who didn't had to learn to deal with disappointment. Imagine that!!
The idea of a parent bailing us out if we broke the law was unheard of. They actually sided with the law!
This generation has produced some of the best risk-takers, problem solvers and inventors ever!
The past 50 years have been an explosion of innovation and new ideas.
We had freedom, failure, success and responsibility, and we learned how to deal with it all!
And you are one of them! Congratulations!
How many zeros in a billion?
This is too true to be funny.
The next time you hear a politician use the
word ' billion ' in a casual manner, think about
whether you want the ' politicians ' spending
YOUR tax money.
A billion is a difficult number to comprehend,
but one advertising agency did a good job of
putting that figure into some perspective in
one of it ' s releases.
A.
A billion seconds ago it was 1959.
B.
A billion minutes ago Jesus was alive.
C.
A billion hours ago our ancestors were
living in the Stone Age.
D.
A billion days ago no-one walked on the earth on two feet.
E.
A billion dollars ago was only 8 hours and 20 minutes,at the
rate our government is spending it.
While this thought is still fresh in our brain...
let ' s take a look at New Orleans ...
It ' s amazing what you can learn with some simple division.
Louisiana Senator, Mary Landrieu (D)
is presently asking Congress for
250 BILLION DOLLARS
to rebuild New Orleans . Interesting number...
what does it mean?
A.
Well... if you are one of the 484,674 residents of New Orleans
(every man, woman, and child)
you each get $516,528.
B.
Or... if you have one of the 188,251 homes in
New Orleans , your home gets $1,329,787.
C.
Or... if you are a family of four...
your family gets $2,066,012.

A brief and HOT SUMMER SOLSTICE update and we are not talking about the weather!
As the June 2008 Solstice nears, it is becoming
quite clear that it will be a turning point between what WAS?
and what will BE, not for this year alone, but for a MUCH BIGGER
picture. Yep, we are talking about the biggie cycles now. Do
you know what side of the fence will you will play on? Are you
in support of community, love and oneness and our future ? or
? are you still armoring yourself against the world, operating
out of fear, and are becoming more separate? Are you a WAS-BEEN
or a WILL-BE? The cosmic dividing line is being drawn. It is
time for us to choose on what side we wish to create our reality.
The Maya Calendar reflects a division between the future and
the past. You can see this division in the 20 core days that
the run down the center month of the Mayan Calendar. Print out
a copy for yourself here? http://www.kachina.net/~alunajoy/cal-yucatec.html
. Core days are like traveling a sacred pilgrimage down your
chakras over a 20 day period. On June 18th, we enter the first
day of the 20 core days in the Mayan month XUL. The Mayan day
is 4 IMIX, and it will pack a punch as it will be lit up and
magnified by a powerful full moon. The likeliness of a full
moon initiating the 20 core days is very slim, but here we are!
We are feeling its searing heat? the overwhelming excitement
and the unlimited amazing possibilities.
What Mayan Astrology says about Core days?
http://www.kachina.net/~alunajoy/books.html
Core days are the 20 Suns that live in the center, the 7th column,
of the sacred calendar. This is where history and the future
meet. It is the NOW of the Tzolk'in, a place between what has
been and what will be. This 20-day cycle represents the spinal
column for the entire calendar of 260 days. This 7th column
of 13 columns also represents our spinal column and chakras.
If we divided the Tzolk'in into 65 groups of four Suns, each
group having one member from each direction, North-South-East-West,
the 33rd group falls at the exact center of the 7th column of
the Tzolk'in. We have 33 vertebrae in our spinal column and
7 chakras. The 7 reminds us of our connection with the Pleiades,
our 7 sisters. Interesting? Well, it gets better.
Considering this number 33, the center column has a mystical
frequency. We understand that the number 33 holds a vibration
of mastery. There are some interesting connections of the numbers
7, 13 and 33 with the Master Jesus. If you count the disciples
and Jesus together, you have 13. The number 7 is the center
of the number 13. There are 13 columns in the Tzolk'in, and
the 7th one holds the frequency of 33, as I have explained before.
Jesus ascended at the age of 33! Jesus was at the center of
the disciples, at the center of 13, and there is the 7 again.
If you add 13 with the 20 days of the 7th column, you have again
the 33! To stretch this idea even further, visualize Jesus as
the central of 13 columns, with 6 disciples gathered at his
left and his right, so that he is surrounded by their energy.
The only way to describe the core days is to exploit an overused
word, intense, as these days teach us how to live in the now.
There is no time for the past and no time for the future. Forward
progress can be difficult for some. We may need to clear resistance
to the future frequencies coming directly after this 20-day
cycle. We may find ourselves rethinking things we thought we
had previously understood. If we resist being here, now, we
will discover challenges. Things may become confused, as we
are operating from a simultaneous merging of the past and the
future. If we flow with it, we can accelerate our personal process.
The core days offer great opportunity to work with our chakras,
helping to activate the Kundilini. The core days are our umbilical
cord to the energetic center of the galaxy, the Pleiades. The
core days are an accelerated opportunity to work on all levels
of our mastery and to perceive more clearly our ascension process.
If you were born on a core day, you may find yourself highly
focused on whatever lies before you to accomplish. You know
what you are doing and need little input from outside sources.
The past and the future merge all experience that you have collected
into the now. You may find that you work with equal ease in
the spirit world and in the physical world. It is time to DO
IT!

The core days chakras as as follows . . . 6/18 - 6/21 is the
CROWN CHAKRA. 6/22 - 6/25 is the THROAT CHAKRA. 6/26 - 6/29
is the HEART CHAKRA. 6/30 - 7/3 is the SOLAR PLEXES CHAKRA.
7/4 - 7/7 is the ROOT CHAKRA.
This division between the WAS-BEENs and WILL-BEs, the past and
our future, is a required step toward the 2012 shift of the
ages. We will begin to merge into the collective ? ONE in the
Many?. We will begin to feel less and less boundaries between
each other. Any energy that is out of alignment will be more
painful, be it coming from ourselves or coming from others.
Your neighbor is not your neighbor anymore. He is coming into
what was once your private space. You may want to isolate yourself
to gain back that space. You may also experience depression
and anxiety. These may be symptoms that we will feel just prior
to entering oneness. We may feel psychically attacked if the
energy we feel is coming from a WAS-BEEN's mentality. The dissolving
of boundaries will force us to be more aware of our energy and
how we use it. The planetary collective will be gently forced
into impeccability and integrity. Darkness and conscious evil
intent will be swiftly dealt with.

whose most pressing need is for money; who wish to get rich
first, and philosophize afterward.
Inspiration
We wanted to send you some inspiration to start your week from motivational speaker Jim Rohn with a twist from U2.
This is Beautiful
The best kind of friend
Is the kind you can sit on a porch and swing with,
Never say a word, and then walk away
Feeling like it was the best conversation you've ever had.
It's true that we don't know what we've got until we lose
it,
But it's also true that we don't know
What we've been missing until it arrives.
Giving someone all your love
Is never an assurance that they'll love you back!
Don't expect love in return;
Just wait for it to grow in their heart
But if it doesn't, be content it grew in yours.
It takes only a minute to get a crush on someone,
An hour to like someone,
And a day to love someone,
But it takes a lifetime to forget someone.
Don't go for looks; they can deceive.
Don't go for wealth; even that fades away.
Go for someone who makes you smile
Because it takes only a smile to make a dark day seem bright.
Find the one that makes your heart smile.
May you have
Enough happiness to make you sweet,
Enough trials to make you strong,
Enough sorrow to keep you human,
Enough hope to make you happy.
Always put yourself in others' shoes.
If you feel that it hurts you,
It probably hurts the other person, too
The happiest of people
Don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of everything that comes along their
way.
Happiness lies for those who cry,
Those who hurt, those who have searched,
And those who have tried,
For only they can appreciate the importance of people
Who have touched their lives.
When you were born, you were crying
And everyone around you was smiling.
Live your life so that when you die,
You're the one who is smiling and everyone around you is
crying.
I am sending this message
To those people who mean something to me,
To those who have touched my life in one way or another,
To those who have made me smile when I really needed to,
To those that made me see the brighter side of things
When I was really down,
To those I need to let you know
How much I appreciate your love & friendship.
Thank you for being my friend.
People come into your life for a reason, a season or a lifetime.
When you know which one it is, you will
know what to do for that person..
When someone is in your life for a REASON, it is usually
to meet a need you
have expressed.
They have come to assist you through a difficulty, to provide
you with
guidance and support,
to aid you physically, emotionally or spiritually. They
may seem like a
godsend and they are.
They are there for the reason you need them to be.
Then, without any wrongdoing on your part or at an inconvenient
time,
this person will say or do something to bring the relationship
to an end.
Sometimes they die. Sometimes they walk away.
Sometimes they act up and force you to take a stand.
What we must realize is that our need has been met, our
desire fulfilled,
their work is done.
The prayer you sent up has been answered and now it is time
to move on.
Some people come into your life for a SEASON, because your
turn has come to
share, grow or learn.
They bring you an experience of peace or make you laugh.
They may teach you something you have never done.
They usually give you an unbelievable amount of joy.
Believe it, it is real. But only for a season.
LIFETIME relationships teach you lifetime lessons, things
you must build
upon in order to have a solid emotional foundation.
Your job is to accept the lesson, love the person and put
what you have
learned to use in all other relationships and areas of your
life.
It is said that love is blind but friendship is clairvoyant.
Thank you for being a part of my life, whether you were
a reason, a season
or a lifetime.

Hotel Key Cards
Ever wonder what is on your magnetic key card?
Answer:
a. Customer's name
b. Customer's partial home address
c. Hotel room number
d. Check-in date and out dates
e. Customer's credit card number and expiration date!
When you turn them in to the front desk your personal
information is
there for any employee to access by simply scanning the
card in the
hotel scanner. An employee can take a hand full of cards
home and
using a scanning device, access the information onto a laptop
computer and go shopping at your expense.
Simply put, hotels do not erase the information
on these cards until
an employee reissues the card to the next hotel
guest. At that time,
the new guest's information is electronically
"overwritten" on the
card and the previous guest's information is erased
in the
overwriting process.
But until the card is rewritten for the next guest,
it usually is
kept in a drawer at the front desk with YOUR INFORMATION
ON IT!
The bottom line is: Keep the cards, take them home with
you, or
destroy them. NEVER leave them behind in the room
or room
wastebasket, and NEVER turn them into the front desk
when you check
out of a room. They will not charge you for the card
(it's illegal)
and you'll be sure you are not leaving a lot of
valuable personal
information on it that could be easily lifted off
with any simple
scanning device card reader.
For the same reason, if you arrive at the airport and
discover you
still have the card key in your pocket, do not
toss it in an
airport trash basket. Take it home and destroy it by cutting
it up,
especially through the electronic information strip!
If you have a small magnet, pass it across the magnetic
strip
several times. Then try it in the door, it will not work.
It erases
everything on the card.

Who Has Been Hindering Your Growth?
One day all the employees reached the office and they saw a big advice on the door on which it was written:'Yesterday the person who has been hindering your growth in this company passed away. We invite you to join the funeral in the room that has been prepared in the gym'. In the beginning, they all got sad for the death of one of their colleagues, but after a while they started getting curious to know who was that man who hindered the growth of his colleagues and the company itself. The excitement in the gym was such that security agents were ordered to control the crowd within the room. The more people reached the coffin, the more the excitement heated up. Everyone thought: 'Who is this guy who was hindering my progress? Well,at least he died!'.
One by one the thrilled employees got closer to the coffin, and when they looked inside it they suddenly became speechless. They stood nearby the coffin, shocked and in silence, as if someone had touched the deepest part of their soul. There was a mirror inside the coffin: everyone who looked inside it could see himself.
There was also a sign next to the mirror that said:'There is only one person who is capable to set Limits to your growth:it is YOU.
Your life does not change when your boss changes, when your friends change, when your parents change, when your partner changes,when your company changes. Your life changes when YOU change, when you go beyond your limiting beliefs.
Examine yourself, watch yourself. Don't be afraid
of difficulties, impossibilities and losses: be a winner,
build yourself and your reality.. It's the way you face Life
that makes the difference!
If you think that money is green slips of paper... Think again!
It takes a bigger person to make $20,000 in
a month than it does to make $20,000
in a year. Not a better person, but a bigger one: a bigger
risk taker, a bigger
thinker, someone with bigger willingness and creativity. In
the same way that
creating any kind of measurable success and Harmonic Wealth?
requires more from
us ? as in a long, happy marriage or a satisfying and meaningful
career or a fit and healthy body ? earning the bigger dollar
amount requires a bigger
person.
How big are your results?
Many of us want to be that bigger version of ourselves, to
expand our consciousness to include all the riches life has
to offer, including money. Yet many of us are held back.
More money will only magnify your current
situation
Before we go any further, let me be clear: I don't believe
money solves all of
life's woes. On the contrary, I see money as a magnifier,
both in lack and
abundance. Any time you move outside your comfort zones with
money, it magnifies
the circumstances of your life. If you have a great relationship,
if you're
spiritually connected and you're healthy, then an abundance
or shortfall of
money will make that seem even greater. (The high life with
extra cash will be
fun and joyful; the tough times will make you appreciate what
you have in other
areas of your life.)
If you are sick and tired now...
If you're experiencing the converse, money will magnify that,
as well. (Life will seem bleaker and more lonely at the top
and more impossible and
desperate at the bottom.)
In the last e-mail you received from me, I introduced you
to the idea of a TBS
(Total Belief System), a governing set of ideas and feelings
stemming mostly
from past experiences. Indeed, the TBS also gets magnified
by money. Nowhere
else is the TBS more blatantly at work than in the realm of
our finances, either
restricting or expanding our income potential and influencing
our spending,
saving, investing and planning habits.
A Couple of Bad Ideas
In my events, I frequently meet people whose TBS puts undue
limitations on their
wealth. For most of us, our TBS has not set us up for monetary
wealth. The most
common problems in this area are two beliefs: I'm not worthy;
and Money is bad
(or will make me bad). People may not articulate those two
beliefs so clearly,
either to themselves or to others, but of the unconscious
limitations that hold
people back from the wealth they consciously desire, these
two are the most likely psychological roadblocks.
Where the heck do these ideas come from?
They are usually the result of early conditioning. "I'm
not worthy" can stem
from any number of childhood events or issues that wind up
leaving us feeling as
if we don't deserve more than anybody else. As an adult, it
looks something like
this: "I'm not good enough to earn that much money,"
or "I'm not any better than
anyone else, so why should I expect to earn more money?"
But who among us would
say to a friend, "You know, you're smart enough. Stop
learning because you're
bound to make someone else feel stupid," or "You're
already very healthy. Don't
you feel bad that you can bench press 220 pounds when there
are those who can't
do 40?" or "Your daughter is quite well adjusted.
Maybe you should back off on
encouraging her self-esteem or she will be more confident
than her peers"?
One down... one more to go
The "I'm not worthy" idea about money is on pretty
shaky ground when you put it
in the context of other accomplishments, isn't it? How about
the other one, Money is bad? More often than not, this
equally insidious idea comes from a misinterpretation of religious
principles
about wealth. Although according to John 10:10, Jesus Christ
announced he had
come to earth to give us life more abundant, many of his followers
today have
somehow decided that lack was Christ's legacy, that abundance
of any kind, and
particularly monetary wealth, is sinful.
So many of the scriptures have been misquoted or taken out
of context to support
this idea. For example, "It is easier for a camel to
go through the eye of a
needle than for a rich man to enter into the kingdom of God"
(Matthew 19:24).
The point here was not that there's something wrong with being
rich, as it's
often interpreted. Instead, according to Paul Pilzer, economist,
biblical
scholar, and author of God Wants You to Be Rich, Jesus was
explaining what God
expects of us of where we are to experience heaven, and pointing
out that for
those of us who acquire material wealth are called to do even
more.
But wait! I didn't mean to turn this into a Bible lesson...
My point is simply that church leaders have abused sacred
texts to make us feel
bad about achieving economic success. Why? So we feel compelled
to give away
much of what we earn. (I'll let you figure out to whom.) Yet
some religious
groups have gotten it right. They encourage their followers
to do well, and to
continually put forth an equivalent amount of value to all
those they meet. This
is part of what Pilzer refers to when he says that more material
wealth means a
higher obligation, I think.
Balancing on the Teeter-Totter of Wealth
We bump up against some interesting beliefs when we start
talking about giving,
too. What most of us need to remember is that giving is an
integral part of
receiving.
Wealth is something like a teeter-totter, requiring balance
on many levels. One
of those levels is giving-receiving. Many of us say, "Oh,
I'll give money away
when..." When we make "enough." Or when we
make "extra." But giving is a habit that's easiest
developed with less money instead of more. Do
you think it's easier to give $1 out of $10, or $100 out of
$1,000, or $10,000
out of $1 million?
Please don't misunderstand me. I'm not saying that by giving
away money, you
will earn more money, though there are those who do say that.
My point is
balance.
Notice I said wealth is a teeter-totter, not a train. There
are several
balancing elements that affect one another but don't necessarily
precede or
cause one another.
There are two kinds of wealth...
A great example of this is income, which has two balancing
elements: psychic
rewards and monetary rewards. Monetary rewards are the paycheck;
that's obvious.
The psychic rewards come from doing something in alignment
with your purpose,
from doing something that has meaning for you.
In any profession or career, the ideal is to balance both
types of rewards. If
one is insufficient for you ? either your pay is great, but
the job stinks; or
you love the job, but can barely cover the mortgage ? then
you will ultimately be unhappy in that role. The
mistake most of us make is thinking that if we just hang on
long enough, the
income will balance itself: in time, the sacrifices we make
will be noticed and
compensated, or the money will come to be fulfilling in and
of itself. Sorry, it
just doesn't work that way.
Then how can we increase our income, both in terms of psychic
and material
rewards? It all comes down to mindset. Remember these keys:
You are compensated based on three factors:
* the perceived value,
* the actual value you deliver, and
* the ease with which you can be replaced.
Improve one or all of these areas to increase your income.
It's noble to ask a fortune for your service or product, if
you provide a
fortune in value. If you don't feel comfortable asking for
that fortune, you
need to ask yourself:
* Am I providing enough value to earn what I want to earn,
and
* Am I providing that value but afraid to ask for it because
of my TBS?
(The Harmonic Wealth <http://harmonicwealthweekend.com/>
® Weekend addresses both of these issues in
detail.)
Remember, money is a magnifier, both in your life in general
and in the
workplace in particular. What you do well will be magnified
with an increase in
pay, and what you need to improve will also come into sharper
focus. Be the
first one to notice and take action.
Because The Harmonic Wealth <http://harmonicwealthweekend.com/>
® Weekend
addresses the TBS (Total Belief Systems) that hold us back,
many participants
find they can increase their incomes immediately afterward.
More important, they
experience what I call Harmonic Wealth? ? greater abundance
in almost every area
of their lives ? spiritually, emotionally, intellectually,
as well as fiscally.
I hope you're ready to make the decision to become the bigger
version of "you"
that you've perhaps dreamed of but never attained. And I look
forward to seeing
you as you discover and enjoy a more abundant life!
