Thanks to our Friend for sending us this beautiful art

~*~

Those who praise others
enrich themselves
far more than they do the one praised. 
To praise is an investment in happiness. 
The poorest human being
has something to give
that the richest could not buy.

~George Matthew Adams

~*~

As we begin to praise ourselves and our world,
we begin to blossom in ways that are beautiful to behold.

~John Marks Templeton

~*~

Consider carefully before you say a hard word to a person,
but never let a chance to say a good one go by.

~George Horace Lorimer
  
~*~

We would worry less
if we praised more.
Thanksgiving is the
enemy of discontent
and dissatisfaction.

~Harry A. Ironside

51 Days until the first Razorback Football Game!

Hey Sweetie,

Happy Hump Day!!!

To those of you in the United States
I have a question and a plea for you -

Have you REGISTERED to VOTE?????
If not,
Register today!
If you are registered,
Due to the voter suppression laws in some states,
Make sure you know and have what you need to vote.

Especially if you live in these Swing States:

Arizona, Colorado, Florida, Georgia,
Iowa, Michigan, Minnesota, Nevada,
New Hampshire, New Mexico, North Carolina,
Ohio, Pennsylvania, Virginia,  Wisconsin

These are the states where the vote will be close.
Your vote could make the difference
And will decide who the next president will be
And the make up of the next House and Senate

I live in Arkansas
And I am going to vote,
Even though I'm pretty sure
The VAST majority of voters in my state
Will vote differently than me.
But in the states I've listed above
Your votes may make the difference.

So please Register to Vote
And know the voting laws in your state
Wherever you live
 (brought to you by the AOM Supra-Duper Pak : )

 ~*~

I hope you will enjoy your AOM time
And that something I've posted
Will nourish your soul
And benefit your life

Peace and Love,
AOM

I invite you to join me now in this short Metta Prayer
Radiating the energy of peace and love out to all living beings

Take a few deep breaths to clear your mind
And focus on the here and now
This present moment

Now
Breathe in
Filling your being with peace and love
As you begin each line, breathe out slowly
Breathing these thoughts into the world
Reading, thinking, and feeling the words with peace and love
Sending them from your heart
Giving the energy to yourself and to all living beings
Breathe in and repeat the process for each line
Namaste
"The Spirit within me salutes the Spirit in you"

Challenges make you discover things about yourself that you never really knew.  They're what makes the instrument stretch--what makes you go beyond the norm.
               
Cicely Tyson

~*~
                           
Opposition is a natural part of life.  Just as we develop our physical muscles through overcoming opposition--such as lifting weights--we develop our character muscles by overcoming challenges and adversity.

The ultimate measure of a person is not where he or she stands in moments of comfort and convenience, but where he or she stands at times of challenge and controversy.

Gloriously Beautiful!!!

I HIGHLY Recommend watching this!
Thanks to our Friend for sending us this video
                            
'The Arrow' is a striking visual representation of a simple story - two male artists who fell in love. From the first time their eyes met, the first embrace, to creating a bond and love that is unbreakable. The video shows two talented men who transform their personal story into an exciting performance to send a powerful message -that we are proud of who we are, the love that we share, and that all love is equal.

~*~
                      
If you begin to face your fears, something bittersweet is going to happen to you: You'll grow up. You'll lose your dependency on the grown-ups of the world, because you'll realize that there is no time, no age, at which fear suddenly fades and you become one of these impervious beings. You'll begin to recognize fear when you see it, not only in the shivering of a frightened little kid but in the apparent coldness of a shy person, the viciousness of a bully, the self-importance of your narcissistic boss. You'll realize that the difference between success and failure isn't the absence of fear but the determination to pursue your heart's desires no matter how scared you are. Finally you'll realize that fear is the raw material from which courage is manufactured.  Without it, we wouldn't even know what it means to be brave.
                   
Martha Beck
(Finding Your Own North Star)
  
~*~
                  
It is not that you must be free from fear. The moment you try to free yourself from fear, you create a resistance against fear. Resistance, in any form, does not end fear. What is needed, rather than running away or controlling or suppressing or any other resistance, is understanding fear; that means, watch it, learn about it, come directly into contact with it. We are to learn about fear, not how to escape from it, not how to resist it through courage and so on.
