Going Home To Whence We Came
What is it about the holidays and the coming of a new
year that leads to so many deaths? I’m not talking about deaths due to
drunk driving accidents or crimes, particularly; I’m referring to the
simple act of souls checking out of their physical existence here on earth
and going back home “to whence we came,” as some people say. Whether
it be due to old age, sickness, suicide or accident, a lot of people and
pets seem to check out between Thanksgiving and early January.
Melissa and I lost our beloved cat, Pesky, on January
3rd. You’d think that a big, strong guy like myself
shouldn’t be bothered by such a matter. Like many guys have responded,
my friend, Mike, said, “It bothers me if my dog dies, but not a cat. I
just don’t get very attached to cats.” Not so with me. I was hit hard
by the jolting blow of grief at the loss of sweet Pesky.

Your Astrology Guide 2010: Rick and Jeff's Tips for the Year
by Rick Levine & Jeff Jawer
ARIES: March 21-April 19
Conscious Self-Restraint
It's imperative that you cut back your activities, for effective pruning allows new growth to flourish. But you may bump into deeply rooted resistances as you attempt to play a larger role on the stage of life. The contradiction now is that you are at your most brilliant and nothing can hold you back, yet paradoxically the walls of reality continue to close in. You cannot get away with shooting from the hip, even if you're confident of your aim. The full enterprising power of Aries is yours when you accept the limits of society that require more precision this year. Whether you like it or not, you must slow down to get what you want.
TAURUS: April 20-May 20
Look Outside the Box
Your potential to transform your life is incredible this year -- but your resistance to change is equally great. You don't have to tear apart what's working well or take crazy risks that are likely to fail. All you need to do is stretch your boundaries and allow alternative perspectives to hang around for a while to see if one might eventually fit. It's as if a strange visitor has arrived at your door -- so strange you'd prefer him to leave as soon as he arrives. But thanks to your kind heart, you let him stay the night . . . and end up discovering a close friend. Similarly, you will find happiness this year as long as you remain open to surprises.

Are Vaccinations Good Parenting?
by Jesse Cannone
While shopping near the kids section of a clothing store last week, a brochure caught my eye. The front was adorned with a very large picture of a baby caught in wide-eyed surprise. The title read, “Whooping cough sounds scary. Promise me you’ll get vaccinated.”
As a father of 8, you can bet your britches I want to protect my kids’ health. But here’s what gets me. This brochure, purporting to be a helpful public health service, is published by Sanofi Pasteur - one of the largest vaccine manufacturers in the world. No conflict of interest there, right? CLICK

Avoid These 7 Foods and You're Off To A Healthier New Year
by Dr. Joseph Mercola
1. Canned Tomatoes
The expert: Fredrick vom Saal, PhD, an endocrinologist at the University of Missouri who studies bisphenol-A
The resin linings of tin cans contain bisphenol-A, a synthetic estrogen that has been linked to ailments ranging from reproductive problems to heart disease, diabetes, and obesity. Acidity -- a prominent characteristic of tomatoes -- causes BPA to leach into your food.
2. Corn-Fed Beef
The expert: Joel Salatin, co-owner of Polyface Farms and author of books on sustainable farming
Cattle were designed to eat grass, not grains. But farmers today feed their animals corn and soybeans, which fatten up the animals faster for slaughter. A recent comprehensive study found that compared with corn-fed beef, grass-fed beef is higher in beta-carotene, vitamin E, omega-3s, conjugated linoleic acid (CLA), calcium, magnesium, and potassium.

Intuition has become widely recognized as a sixth sense that we all have. But just how do we routinely access this remarkable inner guide—especially in times of crisis? And how do we use it not only to survive but actually to thrive? Listen has the answers, and Lynn Robinson, M.Ed., delivers them with clarity and style.
Intuition, says Robinson, is vitally important, particularly when personal crises meet global, economic ones. It’s our inner compass that points us in the direction of success—in love, finances, career choices, and everyday decisions. Written in the engaging style that has made her a popular speaker, this deep, wise, and spiritual book demystifies intuition and reveals the secrets of how to listen to one’s inner voice and interpret intuitive signs such as feelings, symbols, words, dreams, and physical sensations. Ultimately, readers learn how to move safely through the inevitable crises of life, and steadily toward their hopes and dreams.
Features:
* Quizzes, tips, exercises, and journal questions that suggest creative soluitions to problems and help readers identify the ways intuition communicates with them
* Words of wisdom from people who have successfully used intuition in their lives

January 24, 2010: Discover
Your Life's Purpose with Nancy Canning at INSPIRED
GATHERINGS |
Have If you are wondering or deeply questioning what you are meant
to do this lifetime, this workshop will give you a unique
perspective on how to find what you've been looking for. Your
answers are hidden in plain sight inside you, yet you may be busy
looking outside yourself for what you're meant to do or
accomplish. Learn how to look at your life from a different
perspective in order to find the answers you are seeking. Your
purpose and lessons are driving forces within you that grow louder
and stronger over time. Do you recognize these questions calling
within you? Am I on my path? What am I supposed to be doing?
Should I make this change in my life? How do I know I'm making the
right decision? You are meant to ask these questions because they
are part of each persons life journey. Yet this questioning can
leave you feeling frustrated or unfulfilled. It is vitally
important to know you are on your right path and yet how do you
find it? You may want meaningful work and expect that will be your
solution. In this workshop you'll learn that your purpose is not
about your job or a goal you want to accomplish. Your focus should
not primarily be on what you have come to do but rather who and
how you have come to be.

26, 2010: Is
Your Pet Trying To Tell You Something? An Evening with Animal
Communicator Danielle MacKinnon at INSPIRED GATHERINGS |
| Danielle
MacKinnon has worked with thousands of animals in her travels as
an animal communicator and has come to understand a common theme:
these Divine souls we call animals have chosen to come into our
lives in order to help us become the best humans we can be. In
fact, she’s learned that animals are in service to rather than
subservient to humans. The idea that pets help us with loneliness
and companionship is commonly accepted. For example, we all know
the comfort a cat can provide when we're upset; but Danielle has
taken this idea even further: she believes many of our own,
personal issues can actually be solved by listening to the voices
of our pets! At
this event, the first half of the evening will include a lecture
while the second half will be devoted to random animal readings
for audience members (not everyone in attendance will get a
reading). Location: Inspired Gatherings, 35 Western Ave,
Kennebunk/Kennebunkport, Maine. February 26, 2010. 7:00 - 9:00 PM.
$35 per ticket. For more info and to purchase tickets visit: http://inspiredgatherings.com.
