Learning From the Butterfly – Are You Flying Free or in a Dormant State?

By Arlene
Wednesday, May 16th, 2012

By Maryanne Pope

I was in Las Vegas with a friend last year and saw a magnificent sight.

In the atrium of a hotel was a greenhouse filled with beautiful butterflies. Also inside the greenhouse was a butterfly keeper, working diligently at what was obviously a very precious task.

From a small white box, the keeper would gently remove a little transparent envelope. Then, with a pair of scissors, he’d carefully snip off one end of the envelope and softly shake the contents out into a small shrub on the counter. And out fell a butterfly! Sure enough, within moments, the creature would flutter back to life – out of its dormant state – ever so slowly flapping its wings until it had gathered enough strength to fly. Read More→

By Marion Chamberlain

Do you have a rubber or cloth rectangular object lying at your front door? You know that thing that is meant to collect all the dirt and dust from your shoes? Yes, the common term used is doormat. Most of us go out and get ones that are seasonal or tie into the decor of our house. And what would we do without them? Have dirt dragged all over our floors and into our house?

By Jennie Amit Gandhi

Friendship is a silent transformer of life; a relationship stays alive only when it is nourished with love, care, kindness, empathy, and understanding. By dictionary terms, it is a compassionate and cooperative relationship between two or more individuals but it really does not define or speak about the magical power the relationship holds.

The magic wand of friendship has a strong and enduring power that can transform the life of all those who are on their journey with this great feeling. It is a relationship that blows flowers on the way, fills laughter in the air when friends are together, and spreads love in the ambiance. It is a feeling that offers support and comfort at every stage in life, delivers peace of mind when under deep stress, Read More→

By Amy Sherman

Most of you are blessed with close friends that you have made over your lifetime. These friends are priceless, as they are your confidants and strongest allies. You become bonded to another person because you share similar things and even histories (college days, raising kids, job experiences, etc). 
 
Through your relationships you learn and grow together. Many times you may not know how much you help by just being in someone’s life. Your actions, comments and presence affects people in ways you cannot even imagine. Read More→

How to Become That Irresistible Friend

By Arlene

friends21. Be accepting - In dealing with the subject of relationship tips, an important principle to remember is one of acceptance. The greatest mistake we can make is not recognizing the difference between acceptance and approval. It is one thing to approve of something; it is another to accept someone.
