You can deliberately focus—right now—on an improved thought. ~Abraham-Hicks

Hibiscus Amarillo via WikipediaIf you want to be in relationship, but haven’t found the right one for you, remember that the universe works in perfect order and, therefore, right now your life is unfolding exactly as it is meant to be. Maybe all this time has been part of your preparation period for meeting your intended partner. Even the relationships in our lives that haven’t worked out as we had hoped serve us by teaching us to make better choices in our next relationships.
Finding the relationship we want can come early or later in life. It may even happen again and again in one lifetime. There is no right or wrong for how to find a relationship nor is there a timeline that you have to follow.
Follow your heart, listen to your inner voice, continue to become your own soul mate, and stay open to love. The journey of finding the right relationship begins with being in right relationship with yourself. Excerpted from DailyOM's Begin with Yourself.
Sphere of influence by Helen K The selflessness that leads us to serve as a force for good in the lives of others eventually loops back around so that we come by all the support and aid we need during periods of upheaval.

Justifying about anything holds you in the place of refusing to let in the very things that you've been asking for.
Blaming someone holds you in the place of refusing to let in the things that you've been asking for. Feeling guilty, feeling angry, it doesn't matter what you call it; it is a refusal, not a conscious one.
You're asking; you can't help but ask. The Universe is yielding; it must yield. It's a big question, folks: why aren't you letting it in? ~Abraham-Hicks

This story is true and it happened to me...
One day after work, I asked my husband to pull into a local store so I could buy some cards and some gifts for our nieces. I got into line to check out behind a man dressed in a suit. I didn't pay much attention but then the woman in front of him started asking directions and he politely gave her all the directions. What caught my attention is that twice he said either God bless you or you have a blessed day. As a Christian, I thought - how refreshing to hear.
It was now his turn to check out and he just had a gift bag and a card and tissue and some other small things, buying to wrap someone a gift.But, it seemed he didn't have much cash on him. So he told the cashier to check him out and he'd pay cash for part and part on a credit card. When she checked him out he was a little less than a dollar short and started to scan his credit card.
"Stop" I said, "Don't scan your credit card for that dollar" and so I handed the cashier a dollar. He looked over at me and I said "no, it's nothing - I'm just trying to get out of debt and I hate to see anyone using a card for anything." He thanked me and "blessed" me too.
The cashier was surprised. I'm not sure if she was surprised because I did that or because she didn't expect me to help him or if it was because he was in a very nice suit and I was there in jeans and a t-shirt - I'm not sure, but when she gave the little change back from my dollar, she held my hand and told me that that was so unexpected of me and told me that I would be truly blessed for the act I just did. I just smiled and said "well I hope so -I could use some blessings!" So just then she told me my total which was around $6.00.
Image by Thai Jasmine (Keep Smiling.g..g.g :-)) via FlickrAs I reached in my wallet to pay her, a young man behind me said - "Wait! How much was her total?" The cashier told him and he reached in his wallet to pay for mine! I said, "No, you don't need to do that - - mine is much more than what I just dished out to help him." He said no he wanted to pay for mine for what he had just witnessed.
And here all along, I was feeling good by helping someone, but then when he did that, well; it was so unexpected and took me so by surprise. With tears in my eyes, I gave him a hug.I always try to do little things that I can, but have never had anyone do anything like that for me.I was speechless.
As I walked to my car just amazed at God's love that had just been shown, I wondered what the cashier must be thinking of what she just witnessed in front of her. I cried when I told my husband because I just felt right there, right then, in a world where there is so much going bad, I witnessed God's love.
I went home that night and blogged about it and challenged anyone reading it to do the same. To do something small for someone else and see the difference it makes in your life as well as theirs. Of course my blog only has a couple of followers, but I had to get this story out!
That young gentleman does not know how much he touched my heart by following my example. I'll never forget it.
So, why not do something? Pay a toll for the car behind you, offer to pay for someone's item they are checking out, hand a water to someone working on the road, pay for someone's lunch - - it doesn't take much to show the love of God.

In order to make certain that this reciprocity can find purchase in our existence, we must embark upon our initial journeys of charity with nothing but altruistic intentions in our hearts. Like attracts like, which means that we create a universal shift when we help others, thereby drawing similar generosity into our spheres of influence.
We may never see the repercussions of our actions in the lives of those we choose to help, but we will feel their impact in our day-to-day experiences for years to come. The noble mood that motivates you to take up a philanthropic cause today will have broad effects in your own existence. ~DailyOM

making friends with illness is the only wise move, any other strategy will just produce more sickness, sick of being sick of being sick, etc etc that keeps the old ball of suffering rolling, there is no victory that way, only stale-mate, not good for anything, the live wire connection that illness presents so wonderfully and painfully is lost by separating from it, regarding it as other.
this is your bodies' wisdom talking, it is out of balance already so any rocking of the boat will just capsize the whole experience, then you really have no control, you are in that ocean tossed about by the vicissitudes of whatever illness you have appinted king of your life, and this goes for all the mental illnesses as well, greed, hatred, ignorance and all the derivisions.
the same taste is all i have ever experienced, it is like somthing wonka would make, you taste what you expect to taste, my nickname is same after all, dz. ponlop r. knew what he was doing when he called me same.
radiate is really not something that is a step on it's own to me though, it is simply what happens when you connect, there is no way to keep that tsumani to yourself, if you are connected then you will radiate, so opening is a safety measure, trying to keep cosmic love is a dangerous path, just ask any reformed black magician, trying to keep the sun in your pocket burns.
