QUOTE OF THE MONTH:

"The good news is we have been given all we need to make us happy: the bad news is we often don't know how to use what we've been given. Our minds, our hearts, and our souls have been fully coded for happiness; all the wiring is built-in. Everyone is capable of finding happiness. All he or she has to do do is look for it in the right places. While happiness is our natural state, we've been trained to feel more comfortable with unhappiness. In a strange way we are not used to happiness: at times it feels not only unnatural but undeserved. That's why we often find ourselves thinking the worst about someone or some situation; it is why we must work to feel good about being happy and why we must commit ourselves to happiness.
Part of the work is accepting the belief that finding happiness is essentially our purpose of life. Many people recoil at such a thought, saying such an approach is self-centered and uncaring. Why do we resist the idea that the purpose of life is being happy? We feel guilty being happy, and we wonder how we can strive to be happy when so many people are less fortunate than we are. Or, as someone bluntly put it, "Why should you be happy?"
The answer is that you are God's precious child. You were meant to enjoy all the wonders around you. And remember that you have more to give to others, to the suffering, when you are happy. When you have enough and are content, you will not act from a place of need or lack. You will feel that you have a little extra to give to those around you, that you can afford to share more of your time, yourself, your money, and your happiness.
In reality, happy people are the least self-absorbed and self- centered among us. They often volunteer their time and provide service to others, they are often kinder, more loving, forgiving, and caring than their unhappy counterparts. Being unhappy leads to selfish behavior, while happiness expands our capacity to give. True happiness is not the result of an event, it does not depend on circumstance. You, not what's going on around you, determine your happiness."

From 'Life Lessons,' 'Two Experts on Death and Dying Teach Us About the Mysteries of Life and Living' By Elisabeth Kubler-Ross & David Kessler A wonderful book! - TJL

OPENING LETTER

Dear Subscribers,

I would like to use this opening letter to remind people who have had health consultations with me, and, or, are using health supplements. It is unwise to keep using supplements over and over month after month, and even year after year as many do, without having a serious review of what you are taking, how you are taking it, and why. Far too often I hear from people that are going in circles with their health, not making substantial progress, and even sometimes making very serious mistakes in their health programs, because they have allowed too long a period of time to pass without review. In the least this can mean wasted money or wasted time, but more serious consequences have occurred. Overall, the public takes too lightly the ingestion of pills. Even natural health supplements have a very strong effect on the body. So please, be wise. Periodically review what you are taking, and make the needed changes to ensure that you meet your health goals and prevent any future health problems.

This statement is doubly true for anyone using thyroid or any kind of hormonal supplementation.

Please enjoy this newsletter. There are many links to help you discern whether or not you should accept what the commercial interests are telling you about soy. And under 'Health Tips' this month, there is a link to a site well worth taking a deep look at, while asking yourself how you can apply this information to empower your life.

Wishing all of you optimal physical and spiritual health,

Timothy Long

SOY HEALTH ALERT

The contaminants that did this to the cheetahs are in human baby foods still on supermarket shelves in your city!

Alaska Science Forum January 18, 1988 http://www.gi.alaska.edu/ScienceForum/ASF8/856.html

--------------------------------------------------------
Cheetahs and Soybeans
Article #856 by Sue Ann Bowling
--------------------------------------------------------
This article is provided as a public service by the Geophysical Institute, University of Alaska Fairbanks, in cooperation with the UAF research community. Dr. Sue Ann Bowling is an Associate Professor of Physics at the Institute.

---------------------------------------------------------
Pity the poor cheetahs! These speedy spotted cats managed to survive one population crisis, which left them the most inbred wild animal known. Then human inroads on their habitat and hunting for their fur shoved them toward a second population crisis, which seemed headed off by captive breeding. Now it appears that the zoo diet in North America is simultaneously killing them off with liver disease and preventing them from breeding effectively.

In 1985, 29 American zoo cheetahs died and only 18 were born, and 7 of the 18 died before adulthood. Only about 10% of North American adult female cheetahs have been producing live cubs in the last 5 years, compared with 60 to 80 % in other countries. Since North American cheetahs mostly eat a commercial feline diet based on horsemeat and soy, while the cheetahs living and breeding more successfully elsewhere are being fed whole carcasses, a group of researchers in Ohio decided to look at the zoo cheetah's food. They found that the soybean part of the diet (the same textured soy protein and soy flakes used increasingly as a meat extender in human diets) contained natural plant estrogens, chemicals akin to mammalian female hormones and having some of the same effects. When these chemicals were injected into immature female mice, they caused damage to the mice's uteruses.

Experiments were carried out at the zoo as well as in the lab. When four cheetahs in the Cincinnati Zoo were switched to a diet based on chicken meat without soy, their liver function improved. Right now we don't know whether they will breed again or whether permanent damage has occurred.

What does this mean in terms of other soy consumers? Cheetahs are likely to be exceptionally sensitive to problems of any kind because they are so inbred. On the other hand, soy made up a relatively small percentage of the cheetahs' diet, and apparently all cats are rather poor at getting rid of extra estrogens. Our pets might face some problems.

A quick scan of supermarket dog and cat food labels indicates that about half of the commercial dry pet foods have soy as the main protein source, with soy appearing as the first ingredient after corn or (in some very high protein products such as kitten food) as the first ingredient. As a dog breeder I would hesitate to maintain my breeding stock on a commercial diet that used soy as the primary protein source, or listed soy as one of the top three ingredients. But other questions need to be answered, as well.

How about the human consumption of soy?

AND SOME HUMOR passed on by a friend - thank you Sharie!

Dear Tech Support, Last year I upgraded from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 and noticed that the new program began unexpected child processing that took up a lot of new space and valuable resources. No mention of this phenomenon was included in the product brochure.

In addition, Wife 1.0 installs itself into all other programs and launches during system initialization, where it monitors all other system activity. Applications such as Poker Night 10.3, Drunken Boys Night 2.5 and Saturday Football 5.0 no longer run, crashing the system whenever selected. I cannot seem to keep wife 1.0 in the background while attempting to run some of my other favorite applications. I am thinking about going back to Girlfriend 7.0, but the uninstall does not work on this program.

Can you please help me !!!??? Thanks, A TROUBLED USER
------------------------------------------------------------

Dear TROUBLED USER,

This is a very common problem men complain about, but is mostly due to a primary misconception. Many people upgrade from Girlfriend 7.0 to Wife 1.0 with the idea that Wife 1.0 is merely a UTILITIES & ENTERTAINMENT program. Wife 1.0 is an OPERATING SYSTEM and designed by it's creator to run everything.

It is highly unlikely you would be able to purge Wife 1.0 and still convert back to Girlfriend 7.0. Hidden operating files within your system would cause Girlfriend 7.0 to emulate Wife 1.0 so nothing is gained. It is impossible to uninstall, delete, or purge the program files from the system once installed. You cannot go back to Girlfriend 7.0 because Wife 1.0 is not designed to do this.

Some have tried to install Girlfriend 8.0 or Wife 2.0 but end up with more problems than the original system. Look in your manual under "Warnings-Alimony/Child support". I recommend you keep Wife 1.0 and deal with the situation.

I suggest installing background application program C:\YES DEAR to alleviate software augmentation. Having installed Wife 1.0 myself, I might also suggest you read the entire section regarding General Partnership Faults (GPFs). You must assume all responsibility for faults and problems that might occur, regardless of their cause. The best course of action will be to enter the command C:\APOLOGIZE. In any case avoid excessive use of C:\YES DEAR because ultimately you may have to give the APOLOGIZE command before the operating system will return to normal. The system will run smoothly as long as you take the blame for all the GPFs.

Wife 1.0 is a great program, but very high-maintenance. Consider buying additional software to improve the performance of Wife 1.0. I recommend Flowers 3.1, Chocolates 3.5 and Diamonds 2K. Do not, under any circumstances install Secretary with Short Skirt 3.3. This is not a supported application for Wife 1.0 and is likely to cause irreversible damage to the operating system.

Best of Luck,
Tech Support

Check this site out, and realize the great power of your words, your voice, sounds, music, your thoughts, your heart and mind. I highly recommend you apply the principles you will see on this site. The power revealed here is immense.

Try consistently praying over your water, your food, your children; bless your candles; begin to en-light-en and empower everything you touch and use, including your own energy field, chakras, and every cell in your body. Fill your world with universal light, love and positive visualized thoughts. Consciously choose to be a channel of peace and healing.
