Change Begins With Choice
Any day we wish; we can discipline ourselves to change it all. Any day we wish; we can open the book that will open our mind to new knowledge. Any day we wish; we can start a new activity. Any day we wish; we can start the process of life change. We can do it immediately, or next week, or next month, or next year.
We can also do nothing. We can pretend rather than perform. And if the idea of having to change ourselves makes us uncomfortable, we can remain as we are. We can choose rest over labor, entertainment over education, delusion over truth, and doubt over confidence. The choices are ours to make. But while we curse the effect, we continue to nourish the cause. As Shakespeare uniquely observed, “The fault is not in the stars, but in ourselves.” We created our circumstances by our past choices. We have both the ability and the responsibility to make better choices beginning today. Those who are in search of the good life do not need more answers or more time to think things over to reach better conclusions. They need the truth. They need the whole truth. And they need nothing but the truth.
We cannot allow our errors in judgment, repeated every day, to lead us down the wrong path. We must keep coming back to those basics that make the biggest difference in how our life works out. And then we must make the very choices that will bring life, happiness and joy into our daily lives.
And if I may be so bold to offer my last piece of advice for someone seeking and needing to make changes in their life – If you don’t like how things are, change it! You’re not a tree. You have the ability to totally transform every area in your life – and it all begins with your very own power of choice.
To Your Success.

Animals Make Us Human
What do we really know about the animals we play with go for walks with the animals we see each day that walk down the street or graze in the fields or become meals on our plates. Do we really know what it is like from their perspective? Well one woman did and done such a magnificant study about this core area and the emotions that the species we take for granted go through.
From Publishers Weekly
Starred Review. Grandin (Animals in Translation), famed for her decades-long commitment to treating livestock as humanely as possible on its way to slaughter, considers how humans and animals can best interact. Working from the premise that an animal is a conscious being that has feelings, the autistic author assesses dogs, cats, horses, cows, pigs, poultry, wildlife and zoo animals based on a core emotion system she believes animals and humans share, including a need to seek; a sense of rage, fear, and panic; feelings of lust; an urge to nurture; and an ability to play. Among observations at odds with conventional wisdom: dogs need human parents, not alpha pack leaders, and cats respond to training. Discussions of why horses are skittish and why pigs are arguably the most intelligent of beasts—raccoons run them a close second—illuminate the intersection of people and more domesticated animals; chapters on cows and chickens focus more generally on animal welfare, particularly the horrific conditions in which they are usually raised and slaughtered. Packed with fascinating insights, unexpected observations and a wealth of how-to tips, Grandin’s peppy work ably challenges assumptions about what makes animals happy. (Jan.)
Sunlight the Great Healer
At the end of day do we really notice that our sun the sunlight and day light we see is and the heat we feel on our skin is one of our greatest healers.
Trace amounts of UV radiation in natural daylight are required
for physical and mental health, civilized behavior, muscle strength, energy, and learning.
Sunlight in moderation improves immunity and stimulates our metabolism while decreasing food craving and increasing our intelligence. Those words were taken from the book Sunlight by Zane R. Kime, M.D., M.S., where he backs this statement up with scientific research.
Brian Clement, Director of the Hippocrates Institute, says that sunlight is the
most powerful booster of the immune system that he is aware of.
In his book, Sunlight, Dr. Kime explains the link between nutrition and
sunburn. “Unless one has proper diet, sunlight has ill effects on the skin. This must be emphasized: sunbathing is dangerous for those who are on the standard high-fat diet or do not get an abundance of vegetables, whole
grains, and fresh fruits. Those on the standard high-fat diet should stay out of the sun and protect themselves from it; but at the same time they will suffer the consequences of both the high-fat diet and the deficiency of sunlight.”
Sunlight is a much better source of vitamin D (which more closely resembles a hormone) then the kind added to enriched foods, especially cow’s milk.
An increased dietary intake of vitamins and other nutrients, and an avoidance of free-radical forming foods, has been scientifically shown to have that effect on humans.
DOLPHIN THERAPY
Dolphin Therapy is a unique adventure into self and into the wild. Whereas there are many theoretical dolphin healers in the form of humans that say that one can receive dolphin healing mentally without being in physical proximity of these creatures, there is nothing quite like the experience of being in the true physical presence in the wild of these magnificent sentient beings.
More commonly known as dolphin synergy we are awakened to the possibilities within us. Dolphins are harmonious, peaceful, loving, joyous, spiritual, unified, sometimes humorous.
This interspecies communication allows us to experience dolphin synergy. The law of synergy means increased energy through partnership. In the presence of these miraculous creatures we are able to reflect and experience our true essence, pure love, our humanity, and our own personal spiritual awakenings. Dolphins provide a reflection of our organic nature which many of us have lost through hurt, trauma, addictions, materialism, and whatever false meanings that society attributes that we have been brainwashed to believe defines us. The truth is that so many of us have lost our way, just like society, and dolphin energy provides a vehicle for us to reconnect to our true essence.
Dolphins are profoundly loving beings with high intelligence and intuition. Their lessons if we truly listen allow us to reflect, introspect, and make contact with our own true nature. Everyone resonates with them because it is impossible not to when you feel their energy around and near you. It is a magnetic, powerful, spiritual energy designed by these marine angels to touch you deeply and they do! There really is no resisting.
The experience of swimming with them transcends language. Their joyous nature allows us to return to our own inner joy and inner knowledge and spirituality which many of us have abandoned and don’t realize it.
Dolphins provide one of the most powerful natural healing experience available to us in the universe and very few people have the opportunity to be so close to them.
