Well Being?!?

Daily Law of Attraction Quotation
Most of you do not believe that it is your natural state of being to be well. 
--- Abraham


Excerpted from the workshop in Boston, MA on Sunday, October 20th, 1996 #720

I am intrigued by the Abraham Hicks quote today. 
This is such a true statement. It is very unpopular to be healthy, particularly in the United States.
Everyone seems to have something wrong with them. I watched the nightly news the other night for the first time in a long time. I was astounded at how many pharmaceutical commercials there was.
Next time your watching. Count them. There's a psychological bombardment taking place on the human brain. We are being told every so many minutes that there are all these conditions and that by popping one of their pills you'll have a solution. Children growing up in the world today are over exposed to this kind of thinking and manipulation. As your children get older explain to them what's really going on. There are companies that make billions of dollars on all kinds of products, from Tv's to Medicine and they are just trying to get you to buy their product. 


Don't get me wrong there is a time and a place for allopathic medicine. But the over use of prescribed medication has turned deadly in the United States. As parents on a conscious parenting path it is our responsibility to look at all the ways to treat our ailments, keep an open mind and be able to read between the lines. This is where trusting your intuition can take you along ways if a doctor is telling you your son/daughter need to take certain meds and it doesn't feel right to you stick to your "gut feelings", "your vibes", "your intuition." 


I would love to hear what your thoughts are on all this. Do you think there's two many drug commercials on TV?


Do you protect your children from watching commercials?


Wishing everyone well being and discernment.

Happy Valentine's Day!






If I had a child to raise all over again....





If I had my child to raise over again
I'd build self-esteem first and the house later
I'd finger paint more and point the finger less
I would do less correcting and more connecting

I'd take my eyes off my watch and watch with my eyes
I would care to know less and know to care more
I'd take more hikes and fly more kites
I'd stop playing serious and seriously play
I would run through more fields and gaze at more stars
I'd do more hugging and less tugging
I'd see the oak tree in the acorn more often
I would be firm less often and affirm much more
I'd model less about the love of power
And more about the power of love.
