<p>After struggling to deal with letting go and forgiving, I was reminded this week that holding a grudge does more harm to <strong>you</strong> than the person who wronged you.</p>
<p>There is only “<span style="text-decoration:underline;">wrong</span>” if you continue to fuel it with memory, anger and frustration.</p>
<p>More often than not, the person in need of your forgiveness, doesn’t actually need your forgiveness, they are merely misunderstood.</p>
<p>In this situation, give them love, give them support and give them chocolate.</p>
<p>The World would be a better place if everyone ate more chocolate.</p>
<p>Happy Friday Happy People.</p>
<p>Free yourself today and buy someone a chocolate.</p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Would you ever take a journey, if you knew ahead of time that you&#8217;d become hopelessly lost, have your heart broken into pieces, and sometimes wish you&#8217;d never been born?</p>
<p>Now, how about if you knew ahead of time that on that very same journey you&#8217;d also find yourself, fall passionately in love, and live happily ever after?</p>
<p>Whoever said that loving would be an easy journey?</p>
<p>An easy journey results in ingratitude for our blessings.</p>
<p>I wondered how after heartbreak and falling apart, one finds the strength to love anyone else again…</p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;">I discovered that people’s profuse love for others turned out to be a profuse love for their own supercoolhappyselves.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff00ff;"> </span><span style="color:#ff00ff;">So I started loving my supercoolself until I became a supercoolhappyself and now can profusely love all supercoolhappypeople in my life.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff0000;">We have <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">nothing</span></strong> to give to anyone, until we <strong><span style="text-decoration:underline;">give to ourselves</span></strong>.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff6600;">Happy Friday supercoolhappypeople!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:#ff6600;">Have a Happy Love Day on Sunday!</span></p>

In strange, new and wonderful ways life is full of joys, both big and small.</span></p>

										<content:encoded><![CDATA[<pre style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:'Traditional Arabic';font-size:130%;color:purple;">Seek to forgive rather than to blame.
Seek to love rather than to fear.
Seek to be open rather than to hide from pain.

When we are open, when we love, when we forgive, </span></pre>
<pre style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:'Traditional Arabic';font-size:130%;color:purple;">this is when
we are most free. This is when we start to live. </span></pre>
<pre style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:'Traditional Arabic';font-size:130%;color:purple;">This is when hope
becomes real.

For there is nothing that is good that can live under </span></pre>
<pre style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:'Traditional Arabic';font-size:130%;color:purple;">a blanket of fear.
There is nothing that is beautiful that can blossom </span></pre>
<pre style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:'Traditional Arabic';font-size:130%;color:purple;">in pain.
And surely nothing can be mended while the workmen </span></pre>
<pre style="text-align:left;"><span style="font-family:'Traditional Arabic';font-size:130%;color:purple;">point fingers
at each other.

Seek to forgive.
Seek to love.
Seek openness.

These are the steps on the path to mastery.</span></pre>

<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#666699;">Joy will turn to sadness and sadness back to joy. This is the nature of emotions. They are fleeting like the daily passage of the sun.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#666699;">You truly master life when you let emotions come and go while examining and diving deeply into them when they appear for you. </span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#666699;">In this way you feel the fullness of your human experience while remaining free from attachment to those emotions.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#666699;">This way emotions become sails that move us forward through life rather than anchors keep us stuck in the past.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#666699;">So seek to feel deeply then let go. In this way you become free.</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#666699;">Happy 2010!</span></p>
<p style="text-align:center;"><span style="color:#666699;">Happy Friday!</span></p>

<p>This year&#8217;s Christmas Party was the a huge success &#8211; every year I will continue to grow the parties to become bigger &amp; better.</p>
<p></span></strong><span style="color:teal;font-family:'Century Gothic';">Firstly I&#8217;d like to thank all my Sponsors- I wish that more people would perform selfless loving acts for those who need it! It always amazes me how people&#8217;s generosity, even if it is last minute, can always be relied on. I urge everyone to continue in this spirit of giving during the year. The festive season is especially hard for orphaned or abandoned children who really feel the void of not having a family, but I work really hard with the support of friends and family to put together these parties for a day that the kids can look back into the turmoil of their childhoods &amp; smile. I have also been working with two of the Orphanages (Holycross &amp; St Georges) for three years so the consistency of having the same adults appear in the childrens lives always offer them a measure of comfort &amp; support.</p>
<p>The organizers of the Noddy Party (the Round Table Organization) were absolutely<br />
fantastic from the performance, to the assistance that we received from them because this was a charity function.  Every child had a huge wide-eyed grin on their little faces as Noddy and Big Ears rode around the arena, danced with a fully equipped marching band, played in the hay and handed out goodies to the children.</p>
<p>Thank you to Steers in Pinelands for saving the day with their huge discounts &amp; helping nourish our little ones.</span></p>
<p style="line-height:15.6pt;text-align:center;" align="center"><span style="color:teal;font-family:'Century Gothic';">I had a dozen Noddy&#8217;s little helpers who played volunteer to help me monitor the children on the day of the Noddy party. Their participation and open hearts really is the secret to what makes my parties a success. Thank you to you all for giving of your time, energy and most importantly, your love. It may have only been a few hours out of your lives, but you left someone with a childhood memory that they will treasure.<br />
It was not the food, gifts, or even Noddy&#8217;s marching band that made this either party a success, as in all the Christmas parties that I have hosted in the past, the best benefit that comes from this event is the love and attention that each child gets.  On the day of the party, every volunteer always makes a connection with at least one child and we enrich their<br />
lives as much as they enhance ours by showing us with one hug and one smile that there is so much more to life than the material wealth that we are all striving for.  More importantly, those special children always show us the importance of warmth, love, privilege and appreciation that our own families have provided us with our whole lives.</p>
<p>Thank you again to every single person who contributed &#8211; without your generosity, my cause would not materialize.<strong></p>
<p>&#8216;Til next year&#8230;.</p>

<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">A powerhouse. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">We are the creators, protectors &amp; providers. Our bodies sustain life other than our own. Our ferocity, unlike aggression, comes from a place of love, a need to nurture &amp; create positive waves.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">Our ability to love unconditionally without expectation makes us angelic.  </span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">Our femininity is a blessing so why do more women feel that by behaving like a man, they are in fact more effective &amp; have a stronger presence?</span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">And why is it that we all vie for a spot in that boy’s club to poison our bodies with whiskey &amp; choke on their cigars?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">Where is our girl’s club?? </span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">Why don’t we have a girl’s club with the males banging down the doors screaming to have pedicures &amp; a luminous glow?</span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">We are wo-man!</span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">Radiating strength, a beautiful smile &amp; a sunny disposition are side effects of womanhood.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">Today I’m calling a truce!!</span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">We women need to end the war of judgment, cattiness, backstabbing, name-calling, bad wishes, jealousy, distrust, skepticism, and cynicism!</span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">Revoke your female chauvinist pig membership!</span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">Burn your bras (unless it’s la perla!).</span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">We are the majority gender. We keep the planet functional. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">We were born to lead. </span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">And it’s time that we stepped up to the plate.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">To all you boys &amp; men, remember, behind every great woman, is a stronger, more powerful, absolutely incredible Mother.</span></p>
<p><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';"></span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">I have a feeling today is gonna be one of those Happy Fridays for the history books.</span><span style="color:red;font-family:'Century Gothic';">And so it begins…</span></p>
