Creative Imagination: 3 Ways To Unleash Your Creative Imagination

By Arlene · Comments (1)
Sunday, November 21st, 2010

By Michael Lee

As children, we had a very creative imagination. All we needed was our bed and we became pirates on a legendary vessel. Add a couple of stuffed toys and we had a full blown tea party.

But that energy and imagination disappeared when we grew up. It wasn’t as if we wanted it to disappear though. Real life simply took over.

But more and more people are now recognizing the benefits of having a wonderful imagination at work. Apparently, it makes us efficient problem solvers and critical thinkers.

So how do we get our creative imagination back? Here’s how: Read More→

Conversation of the Flame

Friday, November 12th, 2010

a spiritual story by Guy Finley

It was an unusually quiet night. Perhaps the new blanket of snow, the first of the season, had something to do with it… but none of the usual conversation was going on in the kitchen. The tea cups that loved to gossip about the day’s events were silent, and even the sink, whose habit it was to complain every night about the dishes left in it had nothing to say. It was as though everyone was waiting for something to happen. Only what?

It was the candleholder that finally broke the silence. He was speaking to Ms. Wax, a part of the candle he was holding at the moment, and someone with whom he felt very close. He had always looked up to her as a consequence of their positions in life, but there was an edge to his voice that evening. Read More→

Fashion Sense – Not!

By Grace Koh

Not long ago, I chanced upon a blouse that I immediately felt was ideal for casual wear on sweltering days outside. I pulled one out of the rack in my size (Medium) and realised that it was way too small to fit me. The one in “Large” still looked too small, so I settled for XL since it looked to be the best fit. When I tried it on, I found that it did fit me, perfectly. Extra Large.

Now, while I am no Twiggy, I’m not exactly a Plus-size contender either. As I mentioned before, medium sizes usually fit me. What alarmed me was that this wasn’t the first time I had to end up with XL, and I don’t think it will be the last. Just as well I have lived through enough years to not become paranoid about clothes size. Read More→

A young woman went to her grandmother and told her about her life and how things were so hard for her. She did not know how she was going to make it and wanted to give up. She was tired of fighting and struggling. It seemed as one problem was solved, a new one would pop up.

Her grandmother took her to the kitchen. She filled three pots with water and placed each on a high fire, and soon the pots came to boil. In the first pot she placed carrots, in the second she placed eggs, and in the last she placed ground coffee beans. Read More→

How to Get Your Energy Back

By Linda Binns

You can’t escape the things that drain your energy. Every day you are exposed to things, situations and people that will drain your energy. You’d have to completely isolate yourself to avoid them, and that in itself would drain your energy! They key is to have plenty of things in your life that energize you. The more you have that energizes you, the less impact the things that drain you will have.

These are all things that go on whether you’re aware of them or not. Every day your energy is fluctuating. When you become aware of where your energy level is in any given moment, that not only makes you feel better, but it also gives you some sense of control – a way to return to a state of feeling good when something knocks you off track. So let’s look at a few of the things that can restore your energy: Read More→
