"Wherever you are is always the right place. There is never a need to fix anything, to hitch up the bootstraps of the soul and start at some higher place. Start right where you are."

-- Julia Cameron

First Impressions Are Intuitive
by Owen Waters

Whenever you step firmly into heart-centered consciousness,
your awareness immediately becomes more connected to your inner
source of intuition. Through intuition, you become aware of
information about people, places and events that springs from
the essence of those people, places and events. This
information is not delivered through the outside senses,
although it may unfold within you at the same time that you
receive sensory information.

While visual information relates only to the sense of sight,
intuitive information includes much more. It includes all
sensory information - sight, hearing, touch, smell and taste -
and, in addition to that, the thoughts, feelings and memories
that are relevant to the situation.

First impressions are more than just visual. They are
intuitive as well. When you are about to meet a person for the
first time and you are approaching them, you will receive a
visual impression and your consciousness will also receive
impressions about the nature of their consciousness, such as
their true emotional state. That intuitive stream of
information will come into your awareness alongside the visual
stream and, if you are aware that it exists, you can add the
intuitive information to your conscious impression of the
person.

Everyone receives this intuitive information stream
unconsciously, but, for it to arrive in your conscious mind,
you have to:

1) Be aware that it exists.

2) Be open to receiving it.

The more you practice having an openness to intuitive
information, the more this will develop.

Most people are not aware of their mental and emotional
transmissions. In a crowd of people, these transmissions add
together and there is as much mental noise as there is physical
noise. As you become more in tune with your inner senses, you
will find that, on some occasions, it's better not to access
your intuitive information for a time, just to give yourself
some peace from the volume of mental noise.

At night, when you travel out-of-body in the spirit realms,
communication is different than when you are awake in your
physical body. The natural method of communication in your
spirit body is to exchange information with others via thought.
In the spirit world, people naturally know when to open for a
communication and when to close down their thought
transmissions again. There, you sense when a person 'opens' to
you and sends a mental greeting, or when they are 'closed' and
not offering any communication.

In daily life, first impressions are intuitive as well as
visual. The reception of such information is automatic, but the
conscious mind misses this information feed when it is focused
entirely upon the external world.

Be more aware of your own intuitive information. Be open to
it. Then, it will flow right into your conscious mind along
with the visual information that your conscious mind is
receiving.

These Rescued Puppies Need Homes.
--------------------------------

German Shepherd mix

About 10 weeks old

Three brown with black males

One brown with black female

One black & tan male

Very Sweet & Loving

Very playful

Been wormed

Paper Trained

These puppies were rescued from under a building cold, scared and hungry. The
mother dog had been killed by a cruel person. They are in need of a good home.
We are asking for a donation of around $25.00 for each of them. This donation
will go to the SPCA Alliance of NC(a non-profit organization) to help other
animals in need. If interested in one of these puppies contact us at
mrmrsbobo@yahoo.com

** Certain requirements must be met in order to adopt one of these babies and a
vet reference will be requested**

Thanks, Lisa White

So i make wallpapers but I have trouble when it comes to the resize part. I work on 1280x1024
I've tried doing it like this.
Image→ Image size →and change the settings but sometimes the aspect radio looks really bad.
somebody help please :D
I use Photosho CS3

If you were to open up a puppy's head - and I am not for a moment suggesting that you should - you would find nothing but an enormous drool gland.

Marked
P.C. Cast, Kristin Cast
YA fiction; fantasy; series
306 pages

Enter the dark, magical world of The House of Night, a world very much like our own, except here vampyres have always existed. Sixteen-year-old Zoey Redbird has just been Marked as a fledgling vampyre and joins the House of Night, a school where she will train to become an adult vampire. That is, if she makes it through the Change--and not all of those who are Marked do. It sucks to begin a new life, especially away from her friends, and on top of that, Zoey is no average fledgling. She has been chosen as special by the vampyre Goddess Nyx. Zoey discovers she has amazing powers, but along with her powers come bloodlust and an unfortunate ability to Imprint her human ex-boyfriend. To add to her stress, she is not the only fledgling at the House of Night with special powers: When she discovers that the leader of the Dark Daughters, the school's most elite group, is misusing her Goddess-given gifts, Zoey must look deep within herself for the courage to embrace her destiny--with a little help from her new vampyre friends.

I was pleasantly surprised that I was so engrossed in the first book in the House of Night series. I really enjoyed the storyline and I really like the unique take on "vampyres" in this series. It does remind me a bit of Hogwarts, but to me, that is a positive thing. The only thing I did not care for is some of the immature language spouted off by some of the characters, but then again, this is written for a younger audtience than myself. However, I feel like as this series progresses, it will get even more darker and more interesting. I cannot wait to read the rest of the books.

Books read this year: 46/50.

my roommate took me friday morning to the vet with hunee so i could get her cremated. i got an urn with her birthday and death day on it, and a little cocker spaniel figurine. pretty much the same urn i got for walter, except his had a little shar pei on top.

i got her for my 13th birthday. i'm 24 now. although she was deaf, had one eye, had epilepsy, had hip dysplasia, and recently got many teeth and a cyst removed, she was happy and her bloodwork came back really healthy for an older dog.

it's just so weird that she dropped dead, but i didn't get the necropsy because i know i did nothing wrong and it's possible her heart just stopped. because it looked like she was asleep. there was no look of pain on her face.

walter had cancer, and i had a few months to prepare myself for his death. i put him to sleep when he started acting sick. it was still the hardest thing i've ever had to go through. i don't know how to react to this because it was so sudden. i feel like i'm still in shock.

when he died i got a tattoo of a doodle of him i used to always draw. i think for her i might get "dogs aren't our whole lives, but they make our lives whole" on my other arm.

here's a picture of the two of them a few years ago. it's the only one i have of them together, i think.

I had a feeling this was going to happen and this morning I woke up to vomit in Trinity's cage. It was half digested dog food.

I know she's not really eaten dog food before or at least in a long time and it's been kinda hard to get her to eat it in the past week. I've been trying to get her to eat two cups in the morning and two more cups in the evening. Daily she's eating about two and a half to three cups worth of kibble. I've been feeding her a cup of Blue Buffalo and a cup of Diamond Naturals mixed together. Is there anything I can give her to settle her tummy other then a small mixture of 50/50 chicken mixed in with rice and 10mg of Famotidine (acid reducer like Pepcid AC) that my vet recommended me to do but give her 24 hours with no food, just water.

Maybe putting her straight onto kibble was a bad idea, I'm not sure since I've never had a dog who's never eaten kibble or knows what it is.

Any idea's or tips to get her to eat normal dog kibble with out getting a upset tummy. Poor girl!
