Oh Great Spirit, Our Father, whose breath of Life we experience in every direction of our great nations, hear us. Great Spirit whose voice we hear in silence and in the roar of thunder, listen to our prayers for World Peace. We come to you as the children of all great nations, in love, faith, trust, and unity.

Father Sky, bring us warm rains of cleansing waters. Give us clouds with silver linings, and the ability to cope during the winds of change, and uncertainty. Mother Earth, bless us with abundant food to feed all the nations. Give us a bountiful harvest to nourish those that walk on two legs, those that walk on four legs, those that fly, swim, and crawl. Grandfather Sun, shine abundantly on all nations. Grandmother Moon, brighten our way in times of darkness.


Creator of all great nations, bless all your creations including, sky eagles, tiny ants, great bear, majestic mountains, winding rivers, powerful oceans, rain forests, desert sand, mighty trees, green valleys, fish in the seas, birds in the air, tricky coyote, and peaceful dove.


Bless the weak, the sick, the hungry, the lonely, and the homeless. Bless the poor and the rich, the mighty, the fearless and the fearful. Give us the inner strength to fight negativity and the darkness of despair, in these changing times. Give us hope in times of depression, faith in times of fear, and a joyful and loving heart. Give us healing in spite of our worries and life challenges. Open our hearts and minds to love, and the acceptance of all our neighbors no matter where they live, despite our physical differences.






Great Spirit, Light of the World, bless all the Great Nations, and may your peace and harmony reign in our universe. We are many branches on ONE tree. Help us to accept our diversity, just as we welcome the change of seasons, and acknowledge we are all part of the whole. Bless us as we spiritually awaken to your call of universal love and forgiveness. Heal, prosper, and unite All Nations through the power of your unconditional Love.


Amen

OPENING THE DOOR TO PROSPERITY - REIKI withTWEETLES LOVE

Prosperity Ritual
This ritual will open the door to prosperity but you must first open your mind to receiving.

http://www.lilytherese.com/index.html


It is your Father's good pleasure to give you the Kingdom, and it should be your good pleasure to receive it. The word receive means accept. In order to demonstrate prosperity, we must accept it mentally first.


Most people with financial problems have a psychological block about prosperity. In order to attract money one must be in harmony with it. You cannot attract money to you if you believe it's evil, there is not enough to go around, you don't deserve it or money is not important to you.


If you believe it is sinful to be prosperous or guilty about wanting more money you cannot attract money to you. You can open your mind to prosperity by giving up the ridiculous idea that poverty is a virtue. Poverty is definitely not a blessing.


God, your Father is the source of your supply. As long as you relate to the source, you will be prosperous. It is when you turn from God and depend upon people and conditions for your prosperity that you have financial problems.


People and conditions are channels of your supply, but God is the source. Do not panic if the channel changes. One door may close but remember another one always opens.


You may wish to use these prayer statements:


"God is the source of my prosperity and provides his own channel for my supply now".


"That which is for my highest good comes to me now and I accept it".


"The forgiving love of the Father now sets me free from financial mistakes of the past or present. I face the future wise, free, and unafraid".


You can cleanse your mind for prosperity by getting your life in order now. Clean out your closet, drawers, office and the garage. Let go of what you are not using. Without releasing mentally, emotionally and physically you cannot open your mind to receive.


Think about prosperity. How do you wish to be prosperous? Write a list and keep it private. Remember to be thankful for what you already have.

A regular newsletter designed to show you how to spend less for more.

Exercise on a Budget You know the routine. You join a pricey gym with a special introductory offer. In order to take advantage of your good deal, you go religiously for at least the first week. Then you gradually lose your momentum and end up paying for nothing, hesitating to cancel and not following through on your resolution. Why not try a more effective, less costly approach? Read more for some surefire and low cost tips for getting in shape.

1) Walking Walking is the best exercise because all it requires is a decent pair of shoes. You don't even need a treadmill! Just take a brisk thirty-minute walk three to five times a week. Circle your neighborhood or march to and around your local park. 2) Yoga This is the ideal at-home workout. Just use a mat or a towel and start with some gentle stretches. Consult a book for a diagram of poses. (Don't worry, there's no need to tie yourself into a pretzel.) 3) Exercise Videos Clear a space in front of the television and pop in a DVD from your library. This is an ideal workout for wintertime when you dare not brave the cold. 4) Internet Surf the web for in-home workouts — especially ones that use your bodyweight or allow you to turn canned goods into barbells. 5) Secondhand Equipment Search garage sales, or try Craigslist and Play It Again Sports on the Internet. Someone else's used workout machine can be your newfound treasure. 6) Pedometers For only $15 to $35 a pop, a pedometer can motivate you to take the stairs instead of the elevator, or park a distance from the supermarket. You'll be counting every step and crunching the numbers until you're going farther and farther each day. 7) Find a Workout Buddy Why not join a friend? You need someone who will help keep you motivated and make every session an excuse to catch up. 8) Household Chores Scrub and mop like a bandit! Your kitchen floors (and your toned, trimmer body) will thank you for it. 9) Make It Fun If you have kids, join them in the playground, or just put some music on and dance around. 10) And if you really prefer to join a gym, consider the YMCA Who needs a luxurious gym? The YMCA is reasonably priced and sometimes you can get a family deal. Most of them have pools for a low-impact workout. If you follow one or more of these tips, you'll be well on your way to slimming down without the guilt of paying for a gym membership you may never use. And better yet, your fit body and your lighter wallet will be the sweet rewards!

Are You Getting Calls from 1-866-265-5945?

Share| font size: Bookmark this page Has this happened to you? You get a call from this 1-866 number. The guy on the other end of the phone tells you that you owe a debt and he is trying to collect it. Your first reaction is to rack your brain and try and figure out if you actually did forget to pay a bill. You must have done something because they have your name, number, and they sound official. Well, at least that is what they want you to think. Welcome to the wonderful world of debt collecting and extortion. There are many ways that they go about this scam. For example, a debt collector will have purchased a list of defaulted debts from a creditor. Now that the debt collector owns the debt they have the right to collect it. The problem is that in many cases they only have the name and maybe the town and no phone number. So, for example, let's say that they are trying to collect a debt for a Joe Smith that lives in Dallas. They will find any Joe Smith, call him, tell him that he owes them money, and then start the harassment process. Unfortunately, the individual might even end up paying the money. A little bit of harassment can go a long way. In other cases, they will make up a debt, call anyone, and try to collect a fictitious debt. Apparently, there are many complaints against this debt collector who owns this number and is pulling this scam. If you get a call from a debt collector, refuse to talk to them unless they send you a written letter verifying the debt. If it is your debt and you legitimately owe it, then deal with the debt collector. If not, then send them acease and desist letter. By law, they are supposed to stop calling you. One last thing, you don't have to put up with debt collector harassment. You don't have to take their calls and you don't have to stay on the phone with them. If they violate the Fair Debt Collection Practices Act, you have the right to take legal action against them.

Four-Legged Prayer

Four-leggeds large and small,
May Grandmother keep you in her heart,
And wrap her arms about you,
To keep you safe and well.

Four-leggeds of wood and plain,
May Grandmother keep you in her sou,
And gift you with her bounty,
To keep you fed and warm.

My four-legged relations,
Feel my spirit touch,
Know my heart loves,
Hear my prayer for you.

Everyday Things That Can Be Harmful For Your Cat - REIKI withTWEETLES LOVE

Astrology, Numerology, Psychology & You!

There are some who think that astrology and numerology are false sciences. They believe nothing good can come from Reiki because no one knows what the human energy field should feel like. For those in psychology and other science based careers, I can say that all is useful.  Let’s look at repression and blockages. I would say they are the same.  Here is how. We have 3 components within the mind. They are the id, ego, and superego. The superego is all about stubborn morality, the ego tries to balance what it can and make excellent choices, while the id is screaming, ‘I WANT IT! I WANT IT! I WANT IT!’ Who can think with the id around? Who can enjoy life with the superego saying on a constant basis that is bad, don’t spend money on that, you can do without a couch? Without our ego to balance this, giving us an excellent reason that we need a new couch because the springs are out in this one which then give the superego a validity and then saying to the id well we can go with that leather one so long as it is on sale allows the id validity with the ego being the perfect balance. But if there is a blockage or repression, you will see the superego or the id in constant flow. This is bad energically as well as physically and emotionally.  We can rid our blockages along with repressions by seeing where we are overemphasizing the id or the superego which would then allow our ego to create balance for us once more.

Now you are probably asking, ‘how can astrology or numerology help with that?’ I say that they are tools we can use to learn more about our behaviors, thinking errors, fears, and desires. If you look at everything in life as a way to learn more about you then you will be able to answer the question to what choice to make without even looking at a horoscope but that takes time. It take a willingness to look beyond hype and see where you have a blockage, where you lack in balance, where you are destined to be, and how you can achieve the goals you have set before yourself. You only fail because you forgot that you built a wall. Once your walls are scaled then your desires come to fruition. Ask yourself what you need to learn? Ask yourself why you feel like you do about an object or person? Use every tool you can find to help yourself determine why you behave like you do. Whether you see a psychic or a psychologist or both, you are looking to learn, grow and change where you once where into what you so desire to be. 

I think anything that can help you scale or bulldoze down a wall (blockage, repression) will be of benefit to you.  This is where you learn to cope or freeze. This is where you learn to deal in a healthy manner with something that has triggered your emotions or you start stacking bricks. Use your tools wisely and in a healthy manner. You will be surprised with what you can achieve once you know why you blocked it in the first place. Remember it is ok to fake it until you can make it. Just starting with something simple like my horoscope says today I should tackle that meeting but then saying to yourself,’ is this meeting today in my best interest?’ That is an excellent start. You know you need the meeting, you know you can handle the meeting but what if the meeting isn’t a safe place and you are going to get manipulated into something you don’t want? Would that be a positive meeting? Is this really a good time for that meeting? See your horoscope said something generic about a meeting but now you have made a choice about that meeting.  Now you have tackled the meeting. You have made the choice of whether today is a good day for the meeting or you have canceled the meeting for when you are better prepared both physically and emotionally for that meeting.  This means you are using tools at your disposal to make choices that you couldn’t make alone because you blocked yourself from this for some reason like trauma you received during childhood.  A baby step to self awareness is alright, Kittens, you need to start somewhere and at some point. This is good for you.

By the way Kittens here is what repression means: in psychodynamic theory, a defense mechanism that protects the self from anxiety by keeping unacceptable wishes, impulses, and ideas out of awareness.

Howard County Looks to Place 89 Rabbits Recovered from a Single Home - Washington DC animal welfare | Examiner.com

Howard County police officers seized 89 pet rabbits from a residence in Columbia, MD, overwhelming the Howard County Animal Control and Adoption Center (HCAC) with an unusual influx of rabbits during a time of year where all adoptions are typically slow. In an effort to avoid euthanasia of any of these rabbits, HCAC is working with rabbit rescue groups around the Mid-Atlantic while also pleading with local residents to open their homes to a new companion.
According to the House Rabbit Society, one of the rescue groups involved with the case, the residence had two rabbits both assumed to be female, but the sex was mistaken and the two began to mate. The two-rabbit household became overwhelmed with the rate of reproduction, and in the course of two years, 78 rabbits roamed freely through the home.
“It’s difficult to determine the sex of baby rabbits; anyone getting one from someone who is not a rabbit expert risks this scenario,” explains Patti Henningsen of Bright Eyes Sanctuary, another rescue group involved in the case. “Even veterinarians mistakenly identify males as females in rabbits under four months of age.”
When HCAC received the animals from the residence, they evaluated the animals to determine their adoptability. “They are all very friendly and used to being handled,” states HCAC employee Jessica Cain. Cain explains the seized animals range in ages six weeks to two years, but that most of the rabbits are under one year old. The rabbits vary in coloring, but many are albinos (white with pink eyes) which are the most challenging to adopt to the general public. “Albinos always have a low adoption rate because people find their pink eyes 'scary',” explains Henningsen. “But my opinion is their eyes are the color of love-people shouldn't be scared because it's just their heartlight shining through.”
At the time of publication, 49 of the rabbits were still with HCAC, with the rest having been adopted or rescued by other groups. The staff is working tirelessly to make sure that every rabbit finds an adoptive home either through them or through partnering rescue groups. “HCAC should be commended up and down for doing this while at the same time not having a Gestapo attitude about adoptions,” states Henningsen.
The general public is able to adopt directly from HCAC, and unlike most open-admission shelters, the facility will spay or neuter the rabbits in house before they are adopted. To entice potential adopters, Animal Advocates of Howard County has offered to pay for the spay or neuter surgery and assist with transport for any new adoptive homes or any rescue groups taking in the rabbits as fosters. Rescue groups that have already taken some of the animals include the House Rabbit Society, Bright Eyes Sanctuary, Bunny Magic, and Cherished Companions.
To find out more about the rabbits still available for adoption, visit the Howard County Animal Control and Adoption Center (8576 Davis Road, Columbia, MD) or call 410-313-2780.

This week, 242 sea turtles were released into the Gulf of Mexico near Gulf County, Florida. The turtles had been stunned last week by freezing water in St. Joseph Bay, due to a sudden shift in the weather. Turtles are susceptible to such cold spells because it causes hypothermia, and they become too sluggish to forage or defend themselves. Juvenile turtles typically are the ones most affected by hypothermia as they don’t have the body weight built up, which helps insulate them from temperature drops. All of those released back into the Gulf are green turtles.
Local residents, volunteers from a nearby nature preserve and University of Florida researchers all helped collect turtles that were stunned by one of the cold spells. They were taken to Gulf World Marine Park and the Gulfwarium, where they were warmed and cared for until their health was stabilized.
“Sea turtles can tolerate water temperatures down to about 50 degrees, but when it drops below that, they’re in trouble. St. Joseph Bay is a long bay that is open only at the north end, and turtles may become trapped when the water cools quickly,” said Dr. Allen Foley. (Source: Winknews.com)
Green turtles are endangered, and protected by law, so harming, killing them or disturbing their nests are all prohibited. They are large turtles weighing on average 300-400 pounds, but some have grown to over 600. Found all over the world, they can swim very long distances. To reach their spawning grounds some swim over 1,500 miles.
The state of Florida actually has a special license plate to celebrate sea turtles. This particular specialty plate is $23 and generates about one million dollars per year for sea turtle conservation and research.
You can see some examples of the types of projects funded here, such as $13,175 for The Conservancy of Southwest Florida’s project titled, “Assessing Migratory Patterns of Long-term, Repeat Nesting Loggerhead Turtles on Keewaydin Island, Florida.”

Help Stop UMMC's Cruel and Wasteful Pig Lab

This week the Physician's Committee for Responsible Medicine filed a complaint with the USDA under the premise that the University of Mississippi Medical Center's School of Medicine is violating the Animal Welfare Act by using live pigs in training labs for first-year students.

During laboratory sessions, UMC medical students place catheters in the arteries and veins of the pigs, block the animals' arteries, and inject them with drugs, according to Dr. John J. Pippin of Dallas, senior medical and researcher adviser for the PCRM.

Under the Animal Welfare Act alternatives to the use of animals should be considered in procedures that are going to cause pain or distress. UMC argues that the pigs are treated humanely and euthanized after the procedures. Despite having advanced simulators readily available, they're choosing to use 34 pigs a year for the next three years.
Alternatives, including TraumMan System, Synman and human cadavers have been approved by the American College of Surgeons.

The study Dying to Learn: Exposing the Supply of Dogs and Cats to Higher Education also found that both medical and veterinary students can learn just as well through alternative teaching methods that can include hands on training at shelters for vet students and simulators for medical students.

Some from the medical community have also spoken out against using live animals for this type of training. Dr. Edward Linkner, a former student at the University of Michigan’s School of Medicine spoke out about this practice in the Detroit Free Press. He refused to participate in the dog lab while he was a student and stated that, “it was clear that using live dogs to practice critical procedures meant for human patients is unnecessary and inhumane--and it does not give participants an accurate understanding of human anatomy.”

Please take a minute to make a phone call, write a letter or send an e-mail to UMMC School of Medicine's dean Dr. James Keeton asking him to end this cruel and unnecessary practice.
