Howdy Folks and Good Day!
Oops! I missed one of our Good News
items yesterday. It’s from my husband
Mark. He’s doing something to make a
difference in the world and would like to invite you to help. I’ll let him explain as he usually gets to
the point quicker than I do! LOL!

Dear Friends and
Family,
I am participating in
this year's American Cancer Society's Relay for Life at
I don't know a person
whose life has not been touched by cancer in some way so I will be walking this
Saturday, October 6th, in the late afternoon, approximately
http://www.acsevents.org/relay/ca/simivalley/markpintar
* * *
I love that this event is called the RELAY FOR
The Relay for Life is focusing on what we DO want! And that is
We can learn a lot when we put our intention on creating what we desire instead of what we battle against. I’ve certainly had my share of experiences where I WANTED something such as peace, love or support but I put my focus on what I DIDN’T want (i.e. feeling left out or unsupported). Let me tell you, I got more of what I didn’t want because that’s where my attention was!
Mark and I have been together for twenty years now. (OH MY GOSH! How did that happen? I swear it was only a few years ago that we met!) We are many things to each other, especially teachers! I’ve been able to teach Mark about self expression and spirituality. He’s taught me how to love unconditionally and how to forgive (spirituality in its highest form). And to be honest, Mark’s usually better at forgiving than I am…In large part because he really “gets it” when it comes creating the desired outcome instead of focusing on what’s wrong.
It’s so easy to get caught up in what we don’t want and put all our energy into feeling upset about it. But if we’d ask ourselves, “What do I really want?” and then harness the energy we put into being upset to create that desired outcome, it works so much better! Boy, does it work better!
I’ll be the first to admit it can be a challenge to pull ourselves out of feeling negative or even like a victim. But once we make that choice and put our energy, heart, emotions, and thoughts into creating the resolution, amazing things happen.
It’s really the Law of Attraction in action and it applies to every area of our lives from relationships to health to jobs to creativity to world peace.
Today, when stuff comes up, ask yourself, “what do I really want? What’s the most desirable outcome?” Then allow yourself to really see it, hear it, feel it, and know it in your mind’s eye and throughout your body. Next ask for guidance on how to get there. You may only be shown one baby step at a time, but start walking.
Put your energy into your heart’s desire. Keep the end result in mind. Know that you’re in the process of creating a better reality – even if it’s a little uncomfortable or awkward to begin with. You CAN do!
And Mark, I know you can do this, too! Good luck, Honey! I’ll be there to cheer you on.
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

"The Truth" about
some adults!
An excerpt from Dr. Barbara’s new book
"Yesterday my father’s cousin George came to visit from
After we came home, we sat in the living room for a long
time. He talked and talked. That would have been OK, except he swore the
whole time. He’d say a few words and
then he would mix in a swear word. I
can’t even write them, you’ll just have to believe me. For example, he would say, “and what the h---
do you think of that, Edith?” My mom
would just answer as if he hadn’t sworn.
Then he would go on and swear again.
Every time he swore it gave me a bad feeling in my
stomach. I asked him not to swear, but
he just laughed at me as if he knew more than I do. But the truth is I know more than he
does. Swearing makes the whole room feel
heavy, as if little arrows are being shot off, hitting people and hurting
them. Either he doesn’t know the truth
or he doesn’t care.
My parents didn’t seem that bothered. What happens to grown-ups that they don’t
seem to care anymore to make the world a beautiful place?
When I got up this morning, I was so glad that George wasn’t
here anymore.
Grown-ups say they know so much about life, but I know
more. I know swearing is bad for all of
us, and that’s the truth."
This is a quote from my new book, THE TRUTH, I'm Ten,
I'm Smart and I Know Everything. What do
you think? Does the atmosphere feel
better to you when people don't do things like swearing? Let's chat.
'The Girl' inside each of us will thank us for cleaning up the
atmosphere of life!

A Weekly Column
By
LITTLE TRAIN TANTRUM
My timing was perfect.
Almost.
The commuter train was still
idling at the station as I approached it from behind. I could hear the bell
sounding, indicating that the train would be pulling away soon. I picked up my
pace and moved closer to the tracks so I could be clearly seen in the driver’s
rear-view mirror. Surely he or she would wait the 10 seconds it was going to
take me to reach the train door closest to me. Surely he or she would.
Or not.
I was within 20 feet of the
train when it started to pull away from the station.
“No!” I shouted as I broke into
a full gallop – or at least, as full of a gallop as these tired old legs can
deliver. “Wait!”
I waved frantically, hoping the
operator would see me and take pity on me. But it was no use. The train, as
they say, had left the station – and left me standing there on the platform,
panting and perspiring and fuming.
“Ten seconds!” I muttered
angrily at the operator, who I figured was laughing at the chubby old guy he
had stranded. “Ten blasted seconds!”
Only I didn’t say “blasted.”
Thankfully, no one was close
enough to hear my private little train tantrum. The closest person to me was a
young woman who was likewise running to catch the train, only she was about 20
yards behind me. I’m sure she saw me waving at the train as it was pulling
away, but I don’t think she heard . . . you know . . . “blasted.”
“Oh, man, that’s frustrating,”
I said, huffing and puffing with exertion and exasperation as the young woman
approached.
“I know,” she said, smiling a
frustrated little smile. “If I had been just a minute faster I could have been
on that train.”
“Well, yeah,” I said. “Or if
the train operator had waited just a few seconds. . .”
She shrugged her shoulders.
“Well, he’s got a schedule to keep,” she said without an ounce of animosity.
“He can’t wait for every straggler. It’s his job to leave on time. It’s my job
to be here on time.”
Suddenly I felt guilty – and inspired.
Instead of blaming someone else for her predicament she was assuming full responsibility for the elements of the situation over which she had control – something I happen to believe in, but don’t always do.
I started thinking about
everything I could have done that morning that would have allowed me to get to
the train station 10 or 15 seconds earlier. I’m embarrassed to admit that it
was easy to come up with enough dinking around on my part that I not only would
have made that train, but probably the train before that.
And the train
before that.
It’s a natural thing to want to
blame others for our problems. And sometimes it’s true: people DO make choices
that impact us adversely. But before we get too wrapped up in our anger, we
probably ought to take a good, hard look at ourselves. Most of the time we’ll find that there are contributing circumstances
over which we have some control.
In other words, we’re probably
part of the “blasted” problem.
And our timing isn’t as perfect as we thought it was.
