Changing Behavior

I understand (from leading our local Journal) that some 145 black bears were killed last year by conservation officers, after being habituated to garbage...and this happens to be in that lucrative oilsands region....

I have heard stories (as you have) of some of the tragic figures that have come and gone in the music industry, some who have taken their own life, others that just didn't quite make it and gave up....

And children loved these animals, goats and sheep with names like Tink, Tank, Coco, Tina...and how could someone kill these pets who were supposed to be adopted to be able to live out their lives in peace and safety?

Environmentalists and first nations are deeply concerned about harm to the environment. The oil industry on the other hand maintains that in Canada each day some 3 million litres of oil are transported by pipeline and the failure rate is very small....

Hello World, the sun is starting to shed some light on a new day. What are your plans today in the grand scheme of things? What do you plan to do this lazy Saturday of February, 2012? Some sad news today to share with you....

A person who worries (and that is most people!) will always, eventually, find something to worry about. The habit of worrying itself is the enemy. And you can completely break this habit....

Yes - I am talking to you - yes you reader, the one reading this blog....and how is life treating you??

Back in l983 the Social Security System changed in the U.S. so retirement age changed from 65 to 67. Now in Canada it appears our pension reform just might move eligibility up to 67. Interesting.....

A WARNING TO MUDERERS of the good people.

Walk that walk, walk that walk, you can do it, because it may give you a longer and better life....

Too many people project what is wrong with their lives outside of them. Moving from job to job, house to house or relationship to relationship, they hope each time that a different situation will yield different results. But the common denominator is always you.

Be afraid, be very afraid. Carbon Monoxide is a silent killer and could soon be stalking you.....

Have you heard the expression, Top of your Game? And have you gotten there? Do you think you will or can or even care about it? Here is some food for thought on this matter....

What is the Inner Child? Your Inner Child can be understood in these two basic ways:
1. It is the part of you that was hurt while you were growing up, and which is still in pain within you.
2. It is the place in your heart that can trust without fear of betrayal; that is unafraid to love and be loved; that is capable of full and joyful self-expression; that takes great pleasure in play, creativity and imagination.
For you to feel free, and at peace with yourself, your Inner Child must have a Champion. That is, a compassionate witness that completely validates both your pain and your fundamental innocence and "rightness". This exercise teaches you how to become your own Champion!

Both Tim and his girlfriend Amie were killed by a grizzly on their last visit to Alaska, camping close to a salmon stream during a time the bears were getting ready for hibernation. Tim was 46.

Its still about all the KISS formula (Keep it simple, stupid!) and always the small things, a helping hand, a kind word, a gentle nudge that gets us through yet another year...

Some men and women cannot handle the money they earn in places like Fort McMurray, in northern Alberta. And some turn to a vice such as cocaine.....

A fascinating story of a man who jumps out of a 747 with a bag of $200,000 cash - 40 years ago - and to this day, nobody can find the money....?

appreciation seems to have a different meaning

When we least expect it....something goes wrong...and sometimes it goes very wrong....and perhaps that is a very good reason why many folks have simply said ENOUGH. Thus, we have MADD (Mothers Against Drunken Driving)!!
