Howdy Folks and Good Day!


It’s graduation time again and as students and their families prepare for the “big day” it gives us all a wonderful opportunity to reflect on our life and personal “graduations.”

When I graduated from tech school (a long time ago) I thought I was done learning but the real learning was just beginning!  Some out of necessity, some out of a calling to learn better, know better, do better and ultimately feel better.  And that’s what I’ve done.  I’ve learned how to become a better person.  I’ve learned new talents and skills.  I’ve learned how to incorporate spirituality and continued personal growth into everyday real life.  And I’ve come to realize we never stop learning because life never stops changing!

Just as we never stop learning, we also continue to graduate from one level to another.  We might not have formal ceremonies, but we do continue to move through life’s various courses and levels.  Sometimes it’s quite noticeable… like getting married, having children, or the loss of a parent of loved one.  All these things graduate our souls to higher levels of living and learning things like love and compassion. 

Other times, the graduations are more subtle… We decide to stop putting junk food, soda, excess alcohol, cigarette smoke or caffeine into our bodies.  We realize we are no longer interested in the friendship with the person who gossips and talks negatively all the time.  We find ourselves feeling more compassion and empathy for others.  We stop feeling angry and resentful, or like helpless victims, and stand in our own internal power and in the power of forgiveness and making better choices.

There are a lot of little signs which signal our growth and graduation to the “next level.”  And just like the current high school and college grads, these graduations signal new beginnings, new hopes, new dreams, and a new way of being in the world as we try to make our way through it. 

The best part is that Life continues to be one great big celebration if we choose to make it so!  Come celebrate with me!

And congratulations to all the grads!

With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

Rev. Jeanette

UPDATE ON EXPECTANT DOLPHIN, CASTAWAY

From Marine Mammal Conservancy

5/13/07 - Happy Mothers' Day:

Our soon to be dolphin mama and her calf have yet to meet face to face, but both are doing just fine. Castaway's appetite is healthy, her response to caregivers is willing and she appears to be very comfortable in her surroundings. During our very brief medical exam this morning, she was calm, unconcerned and cooperative - behavior that shows up more and more as her training progresses. The ease of examination for medical procedures is very important in order to reduce the risk of stress on the animal.

It has been a quiet couple of weeks for Castaway, although preparations at the MMC site have been in full swing. In the next week, set up will be completed on the research office, from which specialists in the field of dolphin communication and acoustics will gather and study data they record regarding Castaway.

At this time, little is known about the ‘Offshore’ variety of Tursiops Truncatus. As an “ambassador” for this species, Castaway has captured much international attention. Her presence affords us a truly unique opportunity to record and study dolphin communication and acoustics, particularly due to her pregnant and hearing-impaired condition. A dolphin calf learns the skills it needs to survive from its mother and other members of its pod. Much may be learned from Castaway’s ability to successfully adapt to her impairment, bear, care for and teach her calf. Marine mammal industry personnel around the world are focusing on this very special dolphin in our care.

To learn more about Castaway or make donations for her continued care, please visit:  http://www.marinemammalconservancy.org/

Guided Group Chakra Meditation
with the Singing Crystal Bowls AND Past Life Regression

Where: Encino Area RSVP for address

When: Sunday, May 20th, 2007

Time: 12pm-3pm

Cost: Contribution between $5-$25

Bring: Yoga mat, pillow and/or blanket

RSVP: trinitihealing@yahoo.com  or 323-842-3589


Is it real?  Judge for yourself! 

Hypnotherapists are taught how to conduct Past Life Regressions not because they advocate it is real, but rather because some very real healings have occurred from visiting a past life when no other method, whether physical (doctors) or mental (general hypnotherapy), worked! 

Whether or not it is imaginary, Past Life Regressions serve a very real purpose and people heal upon experiencing them.  Those results could not be overlooked. 

During a past-life regression you consciously know you are here in the current time and space, but a part of your mind becomes awakened as it recalls memories from a past life by being induced into slower brain waves (hypnosis).  You will see your past life experience just like you "see" any memories you consciously remember. 

Some hypnotherapists charge hundreds of dollars for past life regressions, however you get to experience this in a group setting at a fraction of the cost.

MORE GOOD NEWS FROM NICOLE

My husband just moved to Oregon to start his new job.  I will still be here until we sell our place.  It is a spacious one bedroom plus den condo and has been remodeled and renovated and has an amazing waterfall below.  (It can easily be converted to a two bedroom.)

We have recently lowered our asking price hoping a great deal will enable us to sell this place quickly!  I do not wish to be separated from my husband for long, so I ask if you know anybody who may be looking, let them know of our place.     Also, your prayers for a quick sell is greatly appreciated!!!  :)

NRDC & AMERICANS SPEAK OUT FOR WOLVES

Over the past 60 days you've given wolves a fighting chance against the Bush Administration's proposal to strip them of their Endangered Species protection, leaving them vulnerable to mass killing.

The U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service estimates that more than 200,000 citizens registered their opposition to a dangerous plan that could doom up to one half of the wolves in Greater Yellowstone.

I'm proud to report that NRDC Action Fund supporters generated 137,000 of those 200,000 comments!

Thanks to your support, we also made sure that concerned citizens turned out in force at public hearings across the Northern Rockies to testify for wolf protection. Wolf supporters outnumbered opponents at key hearings in Cheyenne, Wyoming and Boise, Idaho, where the wolf faces fierce hostility from state officials.

And the outcry we raised was bolstered by more than 250 scientists, who expressed their own opposition to the Bush Administration’s proposal.

What's next? The U.S. Fish & Wildlife Service will review all the comments it has received and will make a decision in about six months on whether or not
to maintain protection of the wolf under the Endangered Species Act.

Although the American people have spoken out loud and clear in favor of such protection, it is far from assured.

In the months ahead, we will be building even more public pressure on the administration...bringing the plight of wolves to the attention of the media... and making sure that scientific evidence in favor of protection gets a full hearing.

We'll be counting on your support and activism at every step of the way. Thank you again for making your voice heard during this critical comment period for the wolves of Greater Yellowstone.

Sincerely,
Frances Beinecke
President, NRDC Action Fund


A NOTE from the Editor:  If you have ever wished there was a way to make your voice heard and be counted in the protection of wildlife and our earth’s most delicate natural resources, NRDC (Natural Resource Defense Council) is a great organization.  They do all the hard work, research and lobbying, then send their members a link to a form e-mail.  You merely enter your e-mail address to “sign” the pre-written e-mail, hit send and it gets routed to the appropriate people.  It’s easy and it makes a big difference.  To learn more about NRDC, visit www.savebiogems.com .

MAKING AN IMPACT

"Everyone has talent. What is rare is the courage to follow the talent."

— Erica Jong

What do you consider your talent to be? Are you having a hard time even naming your talent?  Is it something you consider yourself as being able to do well or that you are exceptional at?

It might be something others notice in you that you can't recognize in yourself.  Or that you take for granted because it comes second nature to you.

Each and every one of us has talents which make the world a better place. 

It doesn't have to be something huge or monumental, it can be something as small as the ability to see the best in your day and have a positive attitude which you share with everyone you come into contact with.

Talents come in many forms. They don’t have to be in artistic fields.  Talent can be the ability to talk to people or work with animals.  It can be something we enjoy, and because we enjoy doing it, we do it well.  It doesn't have to be something that’s taken years to learn or that requires a formal education to do.

I often get replies from people regarding what I write or saying I am a talented writer.  It has taken me years to see this in myself, but others see it immediately.  I don't have an education in journalism, I just write from my heart and soul.  I share my experience, strength and hope.  And in doing so, I help others.

Last week I received many replies to the article on my reunion with my Father and how my story has touched people.  Several asked for suggestions on how to mend their own relationships.

Getting these notes, I finally understood that I don't have to be rich and famous to make a difference and I don't have to touch masses of people! 

If I can make a difference in just one life, or if by my example lives can be changed, then it is clear to me that each and every one of us can make an impact, making this a better world.  It becomes the trickle down effect - one person at a time.  And before we know it, many have been touched and carry that on to others.

Look at your life, at your talents, and know that by sharing with others you are making a difference, even if it is just in your own house. 

Don't discount yourself and your talent.  Make a list and revel in your abilities. If there is something that interests you, do some research and see if you are good at doing it.  Say thank you when others notice and compliment you. After all -- there is only one YOU.

— © Diane, The California Dreamer
