Gordon</p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Music is very suggestive. Here's a true story to exemplify what I mean.</p><p><br /></p><p>Years ago when Tower Records was in business, I visited one of their locations in the Metro Atlanta area central to the financial hub of town. It was hot and I do mean hot and in the heart of five o'clock traffic. Car horns blasting, bus fumes a'smoking -- and if I recall, my gas tank was on near empty. You know the kind of day I'm describing, right? </p><p><br /></p><p>Well anyway, although I'd pulled a long day on my feet at work, I just had to buy the new Yanni CD. So instead of heading to the gas station, I made a bee-line across two lanes of traffic and pulled into Lenox Square shopping center, off one of the many Peachtree Street thoroughfares. Buying gas had become a secondary mission at the time.</p><p><br /></p><p>When I entered the store, the a/c was most refreshing 'cause like I said, it was a sticky-hot-in-the-South day outside; at least 98 degrees. But only seconds after entering the store, what I then noticed was how silent the store was. How still everything was; like the calm found in Heaven. </p><p><br /></p><p>It took my breath away. </p><p><br /></p><p>Directly ahead of me was a guy that could have been a Sumo wrestler who had a bald head and was tattooed up the arms like crazy. Next to him, by contrast was a skinny little guy dressed in a black leather vest (even in the heat), chains hanging from his pants pockets which held his wallet in place (keys dangling too)... who had dyed-red hair before it was popular. I suspect he may have lived in the then hip, Virginia Highland's area which was only one MARTA (rapid transit) station away. As I continued walking back to the enclosed listening sound room, I passed by an elderly couple in the country western section staring at a Travis Tritt CD. She, a slight woman with perfectly coiffured dirty blonde hair and really bright red nails, seemed to be transfixed on the cover-- while hubby the dutiful husband, held onto her handbag wide receiver style.</p><p><br /></p><p>And as I looked over the horizon of the store, EVERYONE was not saying a word... busy at task... each into his/her own little world... and I wondered why? </p><p> </p><p>It was the music.</p><p><br /></p><p>The store was broadcasting a newly released meditation CD. And no matter how diverse the people in the store appeared to be, we were all responding to the vibes of this beautiful music. Amazing how such a simple thing can invoke harmony and unity. </p><p><br /></p><p><br /></p><p>Seems like that was decades ago. Our world wasn't in such turmoil then. Today however the world could use a bit more meditative music. And I wish it could be just as easy today as it was back on that day in Atlanta, to depart an ample dose of goodness in the World-- as one unknown musician's CD accomplished, back on that blistering evening in Atlanta.</p><p>. . .</p><p>It's 1:52am. As I reflect on the fond memories above and for the assurance that 'all is well,' Yanni's "At the Acropolis," was indeed worth the purchase.</p><p><br /></p><p>###</p><p>First published:</p><p>©2013, By Debra J.

<b><i>Self Limiting Elephants--<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Elephants born in captivity are restrained by a chain
that attaches one leg to a metal spike driven into the ground. This prevents
them from roaming. They become accustomed to the fact that, as long as the
chain and spike are next to them, they are unable to move.<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SGCBUTaNytI/U3F0m0vKW5I/AAAAAAAABY4/FFta7_6oSgI/s1600/NatureMotherNaturegraphic.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-SGCBUTaNytI/U3F0m0vKW5I/AAAAAAAABY4/FFta7_6oSgI/s1600/NatureMotherNaturegraphic.jpg" height="320" width="241" /></a></div>
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
As they grow older, their minds become programmed. When
they see the spike and chain, they “believe” and accept that they will not be
able to move. They become so conditioned that when their owners place a small
rope and wooden peg next to them, they make no effort to step away from it,
because they “believe” they are unable to.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
In truth, their actual power as adults is so great that
they could easily pull up a chain and spike of any size. Their programming or
“belief,” however, allows this tiny rope and wooden peg to limit their
movement.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
We are all very much like these elephants. We allow the
weaknesses, fears and rejection we experienced as children to program us into a
life in which we lack power, peace, love and happiness. We become controlled by
false childhood assumptions we have made about our ability, strength and self
worth.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
We can move away from these “pegs” of self-limitation,
but we must chose to do so. ~<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b><i>The Lion Cub—<o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The story about the lion cub more graphically describes
this process.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Once there was a great lioness that went hunting with her
newborn cub. While chasing and attacking a flock of sheep, the she-lion made a
wrong move, fell off a cliff and died.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The cub was left without a mother and grew up in the
midst of the sheep. As the years passed, the cub became a full-grown lion, but
it was instinctually conditioned to behave as a sheep. It ate grass, made a
bleating sound, and just like the sheep, developed a fear of all other animals.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
One day, another lion attacked the flock, and in the
chase, was shocked to see the ridiculous sight of a full grown lion running
away with the sheep bleating “bah bah” in fear.
He caught up to the sheepish lion, and asked, “What are you doing? Why
are you acting in this ridiculous way? You a great, powerful lion acting like a
lowly powerless sheep? What has come over you? You should be ashamed of
yourself.” The sheepish lion explained that he was a sheep, and that
the flock had taught him to fear and bleat and run in horror from the powerful
lions.</div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
The adult lion took the sheepish lion down to the river
and asked him to look at the reflection of his own face. He saw that he was
like the lion and not like the sheep. The lion then woke up from its ignorance
and discovered its previously ignored inner courage, strength and majesty.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
We are like the sheepish lion. The sheep represent our
human nature, our personality, which moans, fears, complains and worries. The
Lion is the spiritual aspect of our being, which is a source of great power,
wisdom, creativity, goodness and love. Great
spiritual teachers have appeared throughout history with the same message of
our “LION NATURE”, the untapped spiritual power and greatness that dwells within
us.~<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<b><i>Our Life Purpose--</i></b><br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<b><i><a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_SaeietWPxQ/U3F0yoJTghI/AAAAAAAABZA/6qELpdqIefI/s1600/LotusPinkClose.png" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"><img border="0" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-_SaeietWPxQ/U3F0yoJTghI/AAAAAAAABZA/6qELpdqIefI/s1600/LotusPinkClose.png" /></a></i></b></div>
<b><i><o:p></o:p></i></b></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Our life purpose is to manifest our unlimited inner
power, beauty, creativity and love. We will never feel totally satisfied until
we fulfill this inner need to become who we really are. Just as every flower
feels a basic need to bring forth its flowers and fruits, we too have an
abundance of gifts to bring forth to the world around us. We can do this in
many ways.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">

<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<span style="color: purple;">What are your challenges, which you would like to meet
today with greater confidence in your inner power and ability to cope?</span><o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
1. Dealing more positively with a relationship problem?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
2. Healing yourself from an illness or weakness in the
body?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
3. Dealing with the loss of or separation from a loved
one?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
4. Solving an economic problem?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
5. Bringing up children with love and wisdom?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
6. Manifesting social changes?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
7. Facing death with inner peace when the time comes?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
8. Forgiving someone?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
9. Confronting fears?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
10. Transforming our belief system.<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
11. Coping with a law case or some injustice?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
12. Creating something that requires all your inner
resources?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
13. Finishing school?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
14. Making a new step in life?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
15. Making an important decision?<o:p></o:p></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
<br /></div>
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
Whatever our present challenges might be, we need to move
forward and meet them on all levels with self-confidence, self-esteem,
humility, love and clarity. In addition, we need to be detached from the final
outcome.<br />

<br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<b><i><span style="color: blue;">It is the motive and effort which count and not the result.</span></i></b></div>
</div>
<br />
<div class="MsoNoSpacing">
We will also need to develop patience and perseverance. We must persevere while also being patient
for the results. ///end<o:p></o:p><br />

Forgiveness means letting go and knowing that-regardless of how challenging, frightening, or difficult an experience may seem-everything is just as it needs to be in order for you to grow and learn. When you focus on how things "should" be, you deny the presence and power of love. Accept the events of the past, while being willing to change your perspective on them. </span><br />

~ Our world is traversing in uncertain and troubling times friends. And one of the things I believe is causing much of our great divide, is poor communication. Period. <br />
<br />
Given your advocacy work, <em> I know you know,</em> how essential, clear and genuine communication is, to achieving meaningful results-- at home, in business, in our communities and throughout the World. And this is why I'd like to recommend,<strong><span style="color: #351c75;"> </span></strong><a href="http://www.jdoqocy.com/k0108zw41w3JQMSOQRNJLLLNOSRN?url=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.thegreatcourses.com%2Ftgc%2Fcourses%2Fcourse_detail.aspx%3Fcid%3D9382%26ai%3D82809&cjsku=PD9382" target="_blank"><strong><span style="color: #351c75;">"How Conversation Works: Six Lessons for Better Communications."</span></strong></a><br />

<span style="font-family: inherit;">Like an eagle in the sky, you’ll be amazed by how much you can learn by stepping back from conversations and examining how they operate. You’ll notice things you never picked up on before—like what kind of speaker you are, the strategies you typically rely on (often without realizing it), and the subtleties of the strategies others may use when speaking with you. You’ll find yourself putting these lessons into practice to create more effective dialogues from the very first lecture.</span></div>

I was just reviewing the course description for Part 6, <span style="color: #6fa8dc;"><em><span style="color: #674ea7;">'How to Maintain Relations with Talk'</span></em> </span> (covering cooperative and competitive speaking styles)... and I had a quick, laugh-out-loud flashback of my piano teacher Mrs. Thomas, grilling me to make 'sure' I'd practiced my piano scales over the weekend. Her 'eyes' were really doing the talking-- not her words, and you can best believe that I certainly didn't fail to practice my piano scales.</blockquote>

<strong>Most of us don't have the time, space, or energy to design and cultivate a large outdoor garden. So what should we do if we're craving some homegrown fruits, vegetables, or herbs, or looking to add a colorful splash of flowers to a back deck or front porch?</strong> <br />

<b><span style="color: #b45f06; font-size: medium;">How to Grow Anything: Container Gardening Tips Techniques--</span></b></div>
<div style="text-align: center;">
</div>
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span><br />
<span style="font-size: small;"><strong>The answer is simple: container gardening.</strong> Growing your own plants in containers is the perfect way to liven up a living space without much of the hassle associated with traditional gardening. With container gardens, you can control and manage plants and flowers with ease, add bursts of color and interest almost anywhere you like, easily extend the planting season beyond your usual growing season, and create warm and friendly environments that match specific occasions and events. </span><br />
</span><br />

<div style="text-align: left;">
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;"></span></span><br />
<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Perhaps the best part is that you can still plant anything in a container that you would in an in-ground garden: perennials, annuals, grasses, vegetables, fruits, and even trees. All it takes is an understanding of the essentials of container gardening, as well as access to some of the same design tips, tricks, and techniques that trained gardeners and landscape artists use to create unforgettable natural displays.</span></span></div>

I'll tell ya' friends, I don't know how our world leaders get a good night's sleep anymore! I pray for their strength and endurance daily. I don't know where you are with your walk with God or even if you have a God but I do feel that because you advocate for others, your Spirit may be unsettled at this time due to the discourse in our World. I know the discourse is unsettling for me.<br />

<span style="color: black;">I didn't intend on this 'post' becoming so long winded. We've gone from looking <strong>good + speaking good + and doing good </strong>and I'd be remiss if I kept this 'in-house.' We truly are in a time of miracles and mystical experiences.</span></div>

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
<span style="color: #990000;">UPDATE | 1:23pmEST, Thur., 10/17/13--</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000; font-size: x-small;">Please see addendum below and shown in</span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;"><span style="font-size: x-small;">'THIS' colour for clarification. <em>Thank you.</em></span></span><br />
<div style="text-align: center;">
<strong><span style="color: #351c75;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75;"></span></strong><br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75;">They say there's a silver lining in every dark cloud, right?</span></strong></div>
<br />
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NkN-h0vt4Ew/Uij-mddqUmI/AAAAAAAAA6c/q3qmibaxAx8/s1600/Wall+AboveTheClouds.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"><img border="0" height="250" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-NkN-h0vt4Ew/Uij-mddqUmI/AAAAAAAAA6c/q3qmibaxAx8/s400/Wall+AboveTheClouds.jpg" width="400" /></a></div>
<div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;">
<br /></div>
<span style="color: #351c75;">Well I kid you not-- and, not that it was a dark cloud on an equally dark and stormy night-- but a couple of days ago, I received word from my email list management company, that <strong>22 people</strong> in my network indicated in one way or the other that the email I'd recently sent [to them] was reported as spam. Yeah, I know-- long sentence. </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Turns out by industry standards, my magic number of <strong>22 spam complaints</strong>, far exceeded the "acceptable threshold number" of ONE per 1,000 emails-- esp., given the fact that my list size was less than 650. Thus, my account went into a "review" and ultimately, this was good (my silver lining). But then again, I've been dealing with a hacker for several years (long story) and in the back of my mind, I just would not be surprised if somehow this <em>very looming and unresolved circumstance</em> was the culprit. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">But back to that silver lining. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><strong>Knowledge is power</strong> and since you and I have been connected on several social sites (LinkedIn, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Google+) for so long, the reason I'm writing you today is two fold. Caveats in user terms 'n agreements we should read but don't and because I need your help. First up-- </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">#1- <strong>Caveats</strong> in those "Terms and Agreements" - because many of you are business owners or engage in dialogue with others having great impact on your day-to-day relationship governance, I thought I'd share the following insight gleaned from subsequent account review. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><strong>-- The</strong> email addresses of the 'connections' we develop in LinkedIn and Facebook personal pages or business pages (e.g., social networking platforms) are 'owned' by the provider and CAN NOT BE USED for soliciting and/or converting into a sale transaction unless one thing happens. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><strong>-- The</strong> 'export' feature can not be used to shepherd a 'list' from which you solicit. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><strong>-- Even if</strong> an alternate email is provided in a user's public profile under 'About Me/Contact,' that info still is owned by the social site.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">The above information was told to me by the account reviewer at the company who manages my list and ensures compliance and legal standards are met by all parties.</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">HOWEVER, this 'spam issue' seems to me to be an <strong>easy fix</strong> and now-- here's the <em><strong>one thing that must happen</strong></em> so that you may freely use an email address for business development OUTSIDE of a specific social network site (from an individual you've met and connected with on said site). </span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"><strong>You must provide an email sign-up form so that the legal definition of an OPT-IN agreement is satisfied.</strong> Once that person becomes a 'subscriber' a new relationship has begun and the fact that you 'met' on a social site has no bearing on the newly created relationship. (P.S. If you're an attorney, check me on this and weigh in with a reply-to-all if you desire.)</span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">As such, this is why you see so many 'fan pages' with JOIN MY MAIL LIST links, which serves to ensure a permission based agreement between the two of you. Somewhere buried deep in the terms and agreements you'll find this condition-- but who really reads beyond the 16,000th word in the terms and usage agreements for a social site anyway? I wanted you to know this <strong>caveat</strong> and hope this insight has been of help. Additionally, you have my permission to forward this to a colleague who might care to know. <strong>Finally--</strong></span><br />
<br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"> #2- I'm in <em><span style="color: #351c75;">"jail"</span></em> friends (name of email mgm't company withheld). My crime? I used the 'export' key to pull together and merge my email recipients list. My punishment? Go through my spreadsheet of contacts line by line (over 1,000 people!!!) and separate the good from the bad and the ugly emails (smile). I'm trying to keep a light heart here. </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">Do you know how longgg that will take? </span><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;"></span><br />
<span style="color: #990000;">ADDENDUM as highlighted at the top of this post. I have ceased the relationship with said email list management service; therefore, it is not necessary for your support in the email re-capture help. Please skip and continue reading below the ( ========).</span><br />
<strong><span style="color: #351c75;"></span></strong><br />
<span style="color: #351c75;">I'm therefore asking for your help. Will you sign up for my periodic email updates using the form below, thereby making our 'connection' official? Then perhaps I can get out of "jail." Orange is not my color and especially in the form of a jumpsuit?</span><br />

<div dir="ltr" style="text-align: left;" trbidi="on">
In the 21st century, the Western paradigm for healthcare is changing. Notwithstanding the great strengths of medical science, many people now have concerns about key features of our health-care system—among them, the widespread use of medical drugs and a relative de-emphasis on preventive care. But traditional Western medicine is not the only healing system rooted in science. Medical systems from other cultures, including those of India and China, have used natural treatments for centuries, some of which are now directly influencing our own health-care professions. These approaches not only emphasize healing with natural substances, but devote considerable attention to illness prevention and healthful living by considering the whole person rather than just targeting a condition.</div>

<span style="font-size: x-small;"><span style="font-size: small;">Everything we now know about the universe—from the behavior of quarks to the birth of entire galaxies—has stemmed from scientists who’ve been willing to ponder the unanswerable. And with the advent of modern science, great minds have turned to testing and experimentation rather than mere thought as a way of approaching and grappling with some of the universe’s most pressing and vexing dilemmas. </span></span></div>

Rather than a stern lecture given before a podium complete with confusing mathematics, Professor Tyson’s lectures have the feel of an informed conversation that manages to be both thorough and easy to grasp. <br />
<br />
“We know a lot about the universe. But there’s even more that we don’t know,” says astrophysicist and Professor Neil deGrasse Tyson, director of the Hayden Planetarium, an award-winning lecturer, and one of the world’s foremost experts on the secrets of the universe. And his course <span style="color: purple;"><em>The Inexplicable Universe: Unsolved Mysteries</em></span> is the perfect gateway into this mind-bending and eye-opening subject. This visually stunning course, which has been honored with a 2013 Telly Award for Outstanding Educational Program, features <strong>six self-contained lectures</strong> that transport you on a marvelous journey to the frontiers of the known (and unknown) universe and introduce you to tantalizing questions being addressed by the world’s top scientists.<br />

</a>For thousands of years, the star-filled sky has been a source of wonder, discovery, entertainment, and instruction. Ancient people from nearly every continent and culture wove exciting stories about the mythological figures they saw in the heavens. People also used the sun, moon, and stars for time keeping and navigation. And careful observers throughout Europe, the Middle East, Asia, and elsewhere kept precise astronomical records, eventually paving the way for the Scientific Revolution and its remarkable discoveries about the nature of the universe.</div>

From taking ingredients and combining them to create eye-catching and mouth-watering dishes<br />
which please you and your family and friends-- there’s a strong sense of pride and accomplishment that comes from cooking your own meals.. <br />
