We have to learn to laugh more times than we get frustrated in a day.

I had no idea you had started smoking that much, so I&#39;m very glad you&#39;ve quit that habit, and I completely understand the need for no/less technology. I was speaking to someone about that yesterday - how when I go on vacation I like to get rid of my phone, email, everything... I hope you don&#39;t stop talking to people though! :)Amanda Winters - A+ Planhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/01794588802469001109noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613133849454217863.post-5879841387771043222011-11-17T06:51:08.925-08:002011-11-17T06:51:08.925-08:00Cara,<br />Thank you so much for this comment.

If we nurture and care for our hearts and minds and souls, it will be natural to care for our bodies as well. <br />There is so much excess in our world today. To much food, too much technology, too many activities, too many products at the grocery store etc..... The excesses that are available can make us think we don&#39;t have enough, which is really coming from a deep place inside that says we are not enough...the not enoughness can cause us to try to fill that emptiness with something. In some cases it is food, in others it is alcohol or drugs or working or shopping...the list goes on. <br />In native cultures, they start with healing their inside first , caring for spirit, emotions, mind and then the healing of body follows with more ease. In our culture, we do the opposite, working from the outside in. So much emphasis is placed on physical appearances that we forget that what is inside of us, our Divine Spirit, is the only unchanging aspect of us.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-613133849454217863.post-12741790275588358492011-11-16T11:50:24.512-08:002011-11-16T11:50:24.512-08:00I have never received such an honor and you have not only made my day but you have made me so thankful and humbled.
