Cherokee heritage, and Native American warriors had similar code
November 11, 2013 by Team Celebration
8 Ways to Become More like a Hero by Denise Linn I was on a flight into San Francisco and I surreptitiously noticed the young man sitting next to me in the middle seat. He radiated a calm centeredness. He didn’t seem to be squirming in the struggle for “personal boundaries” that so often accompanies those who are stuffed into tight middle seats. As I’m always intrigued to find out what beliefs are held by those who seem at peace, amidst the chaos of everyday life, I engaged him in … [Read more...]

Got Problems? Good!
October 28, 2013 by Team Celebration
Life works. It works in direct proportion to the way you work it. It is working just the way you have planned it. If you are saying to yourself, "This is simply not true!" you most likely do not have a written plan. No plan is a plan to have things happen the way they happen. Consider the fact that your life is the way it is because of the choices you have made up to this point. Got problems? Good! Why do I say good? Because problems call attention to that which is in need of a … [Read more...]

Spanking is somewhat ingrained in the cultural fabric of many American families, but that doesn’t make it any less damaging to … [Read more...]

Father Reginald Garrigou-Lagrange, O.P. Imprimatur and Nihil Obstat, 1948 "If thy eye be single, thy whole body shall be lightsome."---Matt. 6:22 THE superior faculties of man, which he has in common with the Angels, are the intellect and will.

OMTimes celebrated AUG: To Be an Emissary of Compassion
August 4, 2013 by Team Celebration
We live in a dynamic place of complimentary opposites – positive/negative, male/female, light/dark. When we are born into this plane of complimentary opposites, the unconditional becomes conditional. However, somehow we are still able to grasp the concept of being unconditional even as we are being conditional about love. Just as we are able to grasp the concept of being one, while we are being more than one. We don’t see it logically with our mind, but we know it is true at some other level of … [Read more...]
