goodevening! from my email subscription.... Not many people are honest enough or brave enough to ask the question in today’s Gospel. Just think about you asking some friend, or perhaps, more courageously some enemy, “Who do you say that I am? What do people think of me?” Or take a step forward and ask yourself, “Who am I?” Who are you beyond your job title or your degree or trade? So often, we try to be like the people we see in the commercials: neat, well dressed and smiling. Smelling great, hair gleaming, and underarms sterilized; homes comfortable and lives stress-free. There is no blemish; laughter, joy and the good life abound. But that is not real. That is not who we are. Who are you beyond all the externals? Who do you say that I am, is the question that Jesus asks in today’s Gospel. How you answer that question says a lot about you. Does Jesus have any effect on your day-to-day living? On the way you treat yourself? There is a danger that people fall into, and that is we try

goodevening! From a book by doreen.... Do endirsements help in gettimg your work noticed? they certainly can!if you know any celebrities or accredited professionals, it's a good idea toask them for written recommendations. you can also ask for testimonials from your cluents and customers( eitger printing them anonymously, with first name or initials only, or including a full name with permission). if you're cold-calling a celebrity whom you don't know, it's important to realize that their e-mails and regular mail are probably handled by agents and assistants. so, don't take it petsonally if you don't gey an endorsement_ or even a reply. chances are that the celebrity never saw your request. celebrities can be very busy people, too, who may not have a soare moment in their schedule to read your entire book so they can decide whether to endorse it have a goodevening! photo credit: direct media

goodevening! from the book on ayurveda Canker sores canker sores are generally traumatic, that is, they are due to a cut or bruise in the mouth.When people eat some sharp, dried, or hard foods, such as popcorn, cornchips, cracjers, or dried bread, or chew fennel seeds after a meal, the hard sharp food can hurt the oral mucous membrabe, and within a couple of days it will manifest as a canker sore. people who use a rough, hard-bristled toothbrush, or who press unduly hard while brushong their teeth, may irritate the mucous membrabes and create a canker sore.Someindividuals inadvertentky bite tge delicate tossues in their cheeks or lips during sleep, or eveb while chewimg or taljing.this is more lijely if they have TMJ and their bite is uneveb, which can easily lead to lacerations and canker sores. If they have high pitra in saluva, their teeth maybe sharp because the crown of the tootj becomes eroded, a combination that may result in repeated sores. have a goodevening

goodevening from the book on ikigai how does stress work? these days, people luve at a frantic pace and in a nearly constant state of competition.at this fever pitch, stress is a natural response to the information being received by tge body as potentialky dangerous or problematic. theoreticalky, this is a useful reaction, as it helps us survive in hostile surroundings. over the course of our evolution, we have used this response tp deal with difficult situations and to flee from predators. .....stress has a degeneratibe effect overtime. a suatainef state of emergency affects the neurons associated with memory, as well as inhibiting the release of certain hormones, the absence of which can cause depression. its secondary effects include irritability, insomnia, anxiety, and high blood pressure. as such, though challenges are good for keeping mind abd body active, we should adjust our high-stress lifestyles in order to avoid the premature aging of our bodies. have a goodevening.

goodevening! from the book on" the courage to be creative".... Treating your creative project impersonally helps to silence the fearful voice of the ego that quakes at the thought of criticism. this means, as I mentioned rarlier, nit defining yourself petsonally by any criticism. we only become controlled by the ego once we personalize the creative project, claiming complete ownership over it, and believing that 9f people like it, they like us- and if they dislike the projecy they dislikevus yes, you put your heart and soul into any creative project that's worth its while.but the creative projevt is not you, it's an extension of you. One of the reasons t9 depersonalizethe creative project is to avoid the loneliness that can hapoen if we listen to the ego's seductive message that fame and public acceptance will give us recognition and a feeling of belonging and worthinesd. have a blessed day! photo credit: stocksnap.io

Goodevening! from the book by Doreen virtue.... Angelic help for your career and life purpose one of the mainquestions I'm asked by audience members is: "Canthe angels tell me about my life purpose?" the underlying question in this query is usually: what career would be most meaningful for me?" since we usually spend eight or more hours of each dayworking, it makes sense to want meaningful employment. this is somethimg more than a job that pays the bills.it's acareer that you feel passionate about, and that you believe is makimg a positive difference in the world.And if it pays a good salary, well,that's even better. from the book onFriends & Hors d'oeuvres....

Goodevening! from the bookby doreen virtue.... What Do Angels Look Like? I'm often asked this'question. As a child, I saw angels primarily as twinkling white and colored lights. As I grew older and my sight adjusted, I saw their shape and form.Now I see angels aroubd everyone, ecerywhere I go.Their beauty us breathtaking and awe-inspuring. Angels andtranslucent and semi-opaque. They have no skin, so they don't have racial colorings t9 their body, eyes and hair. they glow in different colors, according to their energies. their clothing looks like opalescent chiffon coverings. Angela have swanlike wings, although I've never seen one flap its wings to fly. the angels taught me that tge artists whi originalky painted them mustook their glowomg aura for halos and wongs, and si portrayed them in this'way. Now we expwct angels often appear to us as winged beings. have a good day! image courtesy: Bob richards.

Goodevening! From a book on""Everyday with Jesus"" Righteous indignation ""The wrath of God is being revealed...against all the godlessness and wickedness of men..."(v.18) For reading and meditation-Romans 1:8-25 For many of us"" wrath"" conjures up the idea of being out of control, an outburst of "" seeing red"", a sense of wounded pride or jusst downright petulance.It is quite wrong to take those ideas or feelings or impose them on God. God's wrath is never out of control, never capricious, never self-indulgent, never irritable, and never ignoble. These maybe predicated of human anger but never of the divine.God is angry only when anger is called for. Even men and women there is such a thing as righteous indignation, though(in my opinion) it is more rare than we think. I used to believe the difference between righteous indignation and carnal hostility was this: when someone was angry with me that was

Goodevening! Green tea has been credited for centuries with significant medicinal properties. Recent studies have confirmed its many benefits, and have attested to the importance of this ancient plant in the longevity of those who drink it often. Originally from China, where it has been consumed for millenia, green tea didn't make its way to the rest of the world until just a few centuries ago. Unlike other teas, and as a result of being air-dried without fermentation, it retains its active elements even after being dried and crumbled. It offers meaningful health benefits such as : * Controlling cholestrol * Lowering blood sugar levels * Improving circulation * Protection against the flu(vitamin C) * Promoting bone health ( fluoride ) * Protection against certain bacterial infections * Protection against UV damage * Cleansing and diuretic effects Green tea has always been my favorite tea and I had seen my daughter enjoying the chamomile green tea when she had to do long

We've invited to watch a game of gateball, one of the most popular sports among Okinawa's older residents. It involves hitting a ball wuth a mallet-like stick. It is a low impact sport that can be played anywhere, and is a goodexcuse to move around and have fun as a group. The residents hold local competitions, and there is no age limit for participants. We participate in the weekly game and lose to a woman who recently turned 104. Everyone cheers, and the defeated look on our faces elicits laughter. In addition to playing and celebrating as a community,spirituality is also essential to the happiness of the village''s residents. From the book on,"" The Bhagavad Gita""....

BOB WARREN, SA Divider NINETEENTH SUNDAY OF ORDINARY TIME – AUGUST 16, 2023 VOLUME 9 ISSUE 33 On a dark winter night in a small Midwest community, the two-story home of a young family caught fire. The parents and children made their way through the smoke-filled home to the outside. As soon as they reached safety, the mother screamed, “Where is little John?” Just then, they heard a wail and looked up to see their 5-year old son at the bedroom window, crying and rubbing his eyes. The father stood under the window and called out, “Jump, son. Jump and I will catch you.” In between sobs, the boy responded to the voice he knew so well. “But I can’t see you, daddy. I can’t see you.” The father answered, “But I can see you. Jump.” The boy, with faith in his father, jumped into the smoky darkness and found himself safely cradled in his father’s arms. Why do I tell this st

Goodevening From the book by Doreen Virtue on"" The Courage to be creative"" Striving for Clarity of Expression Clarity also means having the courage not to tiptoe around what you want to say. That way, the message won't get lost or confused. Be direct, with no extra words and no apologies-just your unvarnished expression of your truth. This gives others the courage to express their truths,too. An adage I've lived and worked by is"" Write to express, not to impress."" That means being very clear about what you're trying to say, and then saying it clearly. Sometimes insecure writers hide behind big words and jargon that no one can understand. Or if the writer doesn't really understand what they're writing about, their writing won''t be understandable. In New Age circles, some spiritual teachers and authors use terminology like ascension, seventh ray, and other esoteric phrases. These terms sound lovely,but if your

goodevening! Father Francis Salasiar The disciples in the gospel of today were not able to feel the presence of God in them or around them. When you look at the gospel of today, the opening indicates immediately after feeding the crowd with the five loaves and the two fish, Jesus made the disciples get into the boat to go on ahead. The disciples are present and witnessed with their own eyes, the feeding of the crowd.5,000 people with the five loaves and the two fish. The same disciples are behaving now as if God is far away from them. And God does not exist. In the darkest hour of the night, Jesus appeared to His disciples walking on the water, at first, they mistook for a ghost. Giving into fear and anxiety. And that is possible for each of us. When we go through difficulties, we forget the presence of God in us and around us. Many of us can relate to the disciples' predicament just like them, we may find ourselves in overwhelming situations. Whether it be health

Goodevening! From a book by Doreen Virtue Your insights may come through other connections with nature, too. For example, going for a nature walk, too. For example, going for a nature walk is a time-honored way to get clarity. Thoreau famously noted:"" An early morning walk is a blessing for the whole day."" His nature walks served as inspiration for his many contributions to classic American literature, including Walden. Modern research corroborates the link between natural surroundings and creativity. One study found that"" interacting with nature has real, measurable benefits to creative problem-solving,"" increasing performance by a full 50 percent.( Strayer 2012). The exercise and fresh air help you release built-up stress, and your rhythmic steps let you process your feelings. You may find a particular place or object in nature that inspires you.It might be an old oak tree that seems to carry ancient wisdom, or a boulder that affords you

Goodevening! The making of Us From the daily bread When my husband was a child, his mother sometimes scolded and disciplined him for disobeying her. During one such scolding he said to her imploringly,"" You must be nice to your little boy!"" His words touched her tender heart. But because she loved him, she continued his discipline and training. Years later as a missionary, Bill was grateful for her tough love, for it was the making of him. God also disciplines and trains His erring sons and daughters. He may do so directly( 1 Corinthians 11: 29 - 32 ), or He may allow life's hardships to melt us, mold us, and make us more like Jesus. In Hebrews 12:6, we're assured that"" whom the Lord loves He chastens."" Yet God's chastening doesn't feel very loving. Sometimes we even think it's ruining us. But God's discipline is the very thing that will save us from the ruin of our selfish, stubborn ways. Although we're unlik

Goodevening! Monday: 18th Week in Ordinary Time Father Dan Donovan Over the centuries as well as today, believers have turned again and again to the Scriptures and to what they might be saying to us in the actual situations in which we find ourselves. They have little to offer if we only think of them as reporting on things which took place in the past and which, as such, have little to say to us and to the unique concerns of our time and place. Although some people approach the Bible in that way, it is in fact never just about the past, as rich and fascinating as its history can be. For believers, it is God’s word which continues to be addressed to us today. A thoughtful and prayerful reading of it has the power to bring it into the present where it speaks to us if we but give it a chance. Art and peace by Annie Vanitha

Goodmorning! From the book,"" Integral Optimism and Happiness"" by the Capuchins.... Spirituality and Integral Optimism Who is God? Retracing our spiritual depths is a wonderful experience. In the search of meaning and happiness, humanity discovered that there is an order in the universe and to maintain the order there has to be a cause which has to be understood. Different religions name the source of creation with various names and attributions. One of the long used and very often used name is""God"". Reflections on Integral Optimism can enlighten us about the inner journey that could come from the inner artist to trace back to the Creator God as master brain behind creativity. All of us carry the image of this Creator within us. The image of this Creator within us has lots of influence on our persons and relationships. OUr religious beliefs can come from fear or realism. There are people who seek God out of fear or only in times of need. S

Goodevening! From the book by Doreen Virtue.... ""How is it possible for a holy child of God, who is ripe with fullness, to feel empty? Did you lose sight of your riches and thus believe you were devoid of the fruits to which you aspire? We judge you not for this oversight, yet we seek to upright your thinking in the truth that is happily yours to own and share. There is nothing outside of your holiness for which you must seek. This truth may surprise those who surmise an emptiness, and believe they must fill it. What would you seek to collect that you have not already in your possession? Surely, the riches of the kingdom are installed deeply within your soul. For there is nothing that you could receive that would make you fuller than you are at present. And there is nothing you could give away that could disperse you who are eternally holy. The thought of lack gives away to the experience of such, and so we bid you to release this perception to we who can cleanse you of

Goodevening! From the big book of angel tarot by Doreen Virtue and Radleigh Valentine.... The High Priestess The High priestess is a card of meditation and inner reflection. It invites us to be quiet by going within in order to get a clear understanding of ourselves and our desires. The clarity we gain assures us that once we do move into motion, we're headed in the right direction.Consider The High Priestess card as a permission slip to take some time to reflect upon what the angels have to say.It's not necessary to take action with this card. In fact, it's best we take our time. We're asked to follow our intuition and be patient with ourselves and others. The answers we seek will come at the perfect moment. Meanwhile, sometimes our answers come faster through keeping our ponderings to ourselves. This card may be telling our clients that some secrets are best left unshared.
