Life Enrichment

If you have zest and enthusiasm you attract zest and enthusiasm. Life does give back in kind. ~Norman Vincent Peale


Formulate and stamp indelibly on your mind a mental picture of yourself as succeeding. Hold this picture tenaciously. Never permit it to fade. Your mind will seek to develop the picture... Do not build up obstacles in your imagination.~ 
Norman Vincent Peale 



Imagination is the true magic carpet.~ 
Norman Vincent Peale 



One of the greatest moments in anybody's developing experience is when he no longer tries to hide from himself but determines to get acquainted with himself as he really is. ~
Norman Vincent Peale 



All religions, arts and sciences are branches of the same tree.~ Albert Einstein 



Great spirits have always encountered violent opposition from mediocre minds. ~
Albert Einstein 



The optimist thinks this is the best of all possible worlds. The pessimist fears it is true. ~
J. Robert Oppenheimer



Both the man of science and the man of action live always at the edge of mystery, surrounded by it.
J. Robert Oppenheimer

Clean House= Clean Life? Maybe.

The above photograph contains three precious items ( two fragrances and gold-laced vermilion nail lacquer) that I creatively arranged on my desk. If you glance harder, you can see the DVD for Lady Sings the Blues. Am I filthy? No. Confessions of filth tend to be admitted when someone is no longer proud of his/herself. I love myself even when I am wrong. I have been tending to my needs and desires more attentively. A clean house can be indicative of an individual who places fervent value on meticulousness or organization. However, in our postmodern society, I feel that the old adage 
Cleanliness is next to godliness be used with astuteness. Then again, religiousness is not always a quality of holiness. 

Dionysus= Greek god of wine; his followers enveloped themselves in orgies and drunkenness. 

Apollo= Greek god of the sun, poetry, music, prophecy, healing and archery. He held the perception of the most exalted masculine and youthful beauty to the ancient Greeks.** Something many people need to know: the 25th of December is the day of celebration for the birth of Apollo. Think about it.
Zeus= the father god of gods and humans. He faltered many times in his judgment, particularly in his marriage to Hera, the goddess of women and marriage. Hera was the prototype of a jealous, suffering wife. Zeus consistently surrendered to his lust for women and nymphs. ( Nymphs were considered to be lesser goddesses yet highly desirable.)

Research Greek mythology. It tells much of humanity, beautiful and ugly.

Mythology by Edith Hamilton, a superb place of a book to commence.

The AIDS Walk

I want to raise a sum for the AIDS Walk.  This disease is taking lives of people I could love. AIDS is not obvious. It hides in the body. It can happen to all of us. If I see people dying in the street, I am calling help to deliver from the grip of a potentially cold death. I want to help. I am a believer who has to give love. When I receive the royalty crown, I am going to see a little girl and she will wear the crown. I need to give a little girl the crown. All day of the AIDS  walk, I want to hold a little girl's hand. The little girl will receive the crown and I will place the crown on her head. I want to have this request filled with abundance.

If I give her my energy, the little girl could be healed. I want to be a vessel of love, rich and true. Love is similar to blood, those who love need to feel and see the fascinating energy. So I give it freely and abundantly. I would want that for my daughter, to be loved no matter where she goes. All little girls need that reassurance. I want to provide this energy for a lovely little girl.

Thank you for reading,

Khalia
