    ~ Voltaire _______________________
  • ~ I once read that we should aspire to speak only what is true and useful. Of course, what is true and useful for some might seem dishonest or of no value to others. Still, it seems worth the effort to filter our never-ending stream of thoughts through a true and useful screen before expressing them as spoken words.
    ~ And what if we apply this same filter not only to what we speak but also to what we hear and read? How much of the data that bombards us daily is both true and useful? How much is true but of questionable value or seemingly helpful but ultimately not true?
    ~ My mission is to share information and ideas that have been screened through my true and useful filter in the hope that you may discover and benefit from whatever is both true and useful for you.

Nurture Your Soul

In these challenging economic times it’s important to remember that our soul and spirit need nourishment as well as our body.  It’s difficult not to focus on money or lack thereof, potential or actual job loss, and downsizing our lifestyles and expectations.  However, economic set-backs are not a punishment to be endured; they are the external circumstances of life that confront us.

Now more than ever we need to take time to comfort ourselves and those in need around us.   Clearing our minds of worrisome thoughts and offering words of hope and compassion to others are vital to meeting the current situation with clarity and courage.  It’s easy to get discouraged and lose faith, but the greatest control we exercise over our experience comes from within.

Meditation, prayer, reading inspirational passages, walking in nature, and gathering with friends and family are available to everyone at little or no cost.  Take the time to nurture your soul and spirit.  It will lighten the load of this modern journey.
