Open Under New Management

If you’ve ever worked for a boss who reacts before getting the facts and thinking things through, you will love this!

Arceelor-Mittael Steel, feeling it was time for a shakeup, hired a new CEO.

The new boss was determined to rid the company of all slackers.

On a tour of the facilities, the new CEO noticed a guy leaning against a wall.

The room was full of workers and he wanted to let them know he meant business.

He asked the guy, “How much money do you make a week?”

A little surprised, the young man looked at him and said, “I make $400 a week. Why?”

The CEO said, “Wait right here.”

He walked back to his office, came back in two minutes, and handed the guy $1,600 in cash and said, “Here’s four weeks’ pay. Now GET OUT and don’t come back.”

Feeling pretty good about himself, the CEO looked around the room and asked, “Does anyone want to tell me what that goof-ball did here?”

From across the room a voice said, “Pizza delivery guy from Domino’s.”

Two New Pages

Two new pages have been added under “VIDEOS” at the top of the blog.

The first page is a series of videos by Dr. Raymond Moody, a researcher of near death experiences. The videos explain how he began his research on NDEs. I am glad to have found these videos. Dr. Moody is the researcher that coined the phrase near death experiences, a name that has stayed with the experiences.

The second page is a series of nine videos about “Life Afterlife,” featuring many different mediums and researchers. There is an interesting research project by Arizona University on the effectiveness of mediums on videos 2-4. I think this is a very interesting series of videos. I hope you like them.

…a little kitty poem

Since you love kitties so tenderly….I thought I might share this poem with you in remembrance of a little friend of my own…Blessings and hugs, gisl

Once there was a kitty who needed a home
And no one wanted her so she had to roam
She was in need cuz she waddled a big belly
Unto my door she meowed, ragged and smelly

I gave her food and invited her in
She purred thank you and settled quickly within
Eating and drinking like it was her last meal
Yet pausing in between giving nudges to my heel

Quickly the days passed and it was her time
She paced and whined into her box she did climb
I readied the towels, blankets and knelt by her side
Thru painful efforts she bore four kittens with courage and pride

That was my sweet Susie who was thereafter a very loyal friend
Whether on my lap or for companion i could always depend
So just because i fed her and gave some kindness and care
Susie showered me with love and affection beyond compare

Such a simple sharing and not much of a drain
One soul affecting another both receiving gain
That is my story with a most beloved creature
A sweet life experience from a most loving teacher

For Susie, a most beloved friend, gone back to God, but her paws and love forever imprinted in my heart…gisl

Imagine how our world would be if we could give one another the same sort of loving exchange that an animal, who does not speak with our same words, readily is able to do, just by its presence exemplifying unconditional love in the simple act of loyal grateful friendship….

The Power of Focus

As we go about our daily business we give little thought about the focus of our mind and thoughts. This is automatic to us, our focus is on whatever task we are doing in the present moment. Our eyes, mind, and thoughts may be focused on the book we are reading or some article we are writing. While we are focusing on the object of interest, we are shutting out all those things around us save the object of interest. This is normal, nothing wrong with it, and the more intense our focus becomes the more we shut out the rest of the world to favor that focus.

Some people think they can multi-task, doing several things at once, but they are only kidding themselves. Their focus just moves from one task to another, their body responding with the appropriate moves for that task. It is impossible to focus on more than one thing at a time. We should be thankful for that do to the confusion the alternative would bring.

The intensity of our focus determines how easy or hard it is for someone else to get the attention of the focuser. If you are focused on watching the Super Bowl it may be very hard for someone to break though that focus to ask a quesion. So focus is very important to life, and where you focus is very important to your well being.

You can’t drive a car and use a cell phone at the same time without endangering yourself and others. No one can, so just don’t do it, if you have an accident and you were using a cell phone it will be your fault. Awhile back I had a young girl run into the back of my car as I was making a right turn, with blinkers on, we were lucky and no damage done. But again, just don’t do it.

It is a good idea to notice what thoughts you focus on during the day. Negative thoughts turn into negative action, so try to think about positive things most of the time. Do some affirmations daily and turn negative thoughts into a positive affirmation.

Keep your focus on the good things of life so you will experience the good things of life. Practice focusing on spiritual love for yourself and all people. There is no higher good than doing good things for yourself and others.
