  • Immigration

    November 16, 2009

    • Immigration has existed for millions of years, since the early beginnings of our presence on this planet for thousands of years and other living creatures have also immigrated long before our existance. We talk about illegal migrants from developing nations coming to the Western world for a better life. We complain about it, but we do not go after those who stand behind the business. Every story ...
  • My quotes

    November 11, 2009

    • “In a world where life has different seasons, we mustn’t give hope and believe we can make a difference.”     “We must not compromise what we stand for, even if some might feel offended by our values. Nor  must we apologize to the world for our values because they have shaped us to where we are today.”      “Living life is a daily challenge and risks are part of ...
  • the loving heart knows

    September 9, 2009

    • September 3, 2009 the loving heart knowsEdit This “A loving heart is the beginning of all knowledge.”__Thomas Carlyle Such wisdom is simply stated here about what it means to actually live from the heart.  What it means to live from the heart and to see life from its deeper perspective of the profound richness of spirit and soul.  This deeper perspective gives our ongoing outlook ...
  • What else you can know?

    June 14, 2009

    • What else you can know?: The certainty that we are assisted.    After spending many years in search for a more peaceful way to live through prayer, reading, classes, lectures, and seminars; I find that we all come to the same fork in the road each and every day through yet another choice.  Do we?  First learn the lesson by living it and then help, share with others what is most ...
  • The value of knowledge - part II

    May 27, 2009

    • A while back I posted about the number of requests for help I get from people who have stumbled across my Japanese art blog whilst trying to identify and value their family heirlooms. And when I say 'request' I am being polite... I actually receive rather rude demands, and sometimes pretty offensive follow-up emails when I don't comply. At the time, I put their lack of understanding regarding ...
  • I'M NOT SCARED, WHAT ABOUT YOU?

    April 4, 2009

    • My stepmother, who I dearly love (I wanted to make that clear, since so often when people start a sentence with "my stepmother" it's about something they aren't happy about), recently sent me this link to a You Tube video, with the subject heading of "Incredibly scary information." Take a look at it by clicking anywhere you want on this paragraph, then come ...
  • He gives us our way

    April 1, 2009

    • When you are arguing against Him, you are arguing against the very power that makes you able to argue at all. –C.S.Lewis    When we gain an understanding of this sacred knowledge, He gives us our way.   Truly, Catherine
  • A Good Cup of Life

    February 18, 2009

    • “Knowledge is a process of piling up facts; wisdom lies in their simplification.” ~ Martin Fischer Early morning is usually my best time of the day. It is in the first couple of hours after I wake up that interesting thoughts pierce through the fiber of my awareness as needles sharpened by the quiet hours of the night. Yesterday morning was no different. I got up and went to the kitchen ...
  • Maris... emissary for all ratkind

    February 12, 2009

    • During a visit to see the local vet, Maris was sitting in a travel case, along with her sister, Mrs Peabody, when a woman in the waiting room asked if the noises being emitted from the case were being made by a hamster. When that woman was told that the girl responsible for the chattering was in fact a rat, she exclaimed 'oh, Ihate rats!' and moved away. As Maris appeared, looking as cheerful as ...
  • Praying

    February 3, 2009

    • So much is spoken these days about going within for prayer and meditation. Truly, any spiritual practice that brings us closer to love, compassion and awareness is a wonderful opportunity. Anything that strengthens our minds and increases our understanding of prayer is beneficial and perhaps necessary to lead our way.  But when a situation or difficulty presents itself, there is nothing that ...
