Former Mayor and Minister, Congressman Cleaver renews faith in people helping people in Kansas City http://www.kmbc.com/news/30320135/detail.html Former Mayor/Minister and now Congressman Cleaver renewed faith this week in people assisting people regardless of circumstances in Kansas City this week. Emanuel Cleaver has long been known in Kansas City as a minister, Mayor and now Congressman in Washington – this week we saw Emanuel Cleaver doing what a person does to assist another in need, regardless of the circumstances and outcome. The area of 44th and Troost in Kansas City is more known for being a violent area of this city, rather than being a location of a good Samaritan to another in need. After passing a ditch and noticing a hand in the air, rather than just passing and calling for assistance, Mr. Cleaver has his driver circle back to find a woman who had slipped into unconsciousness, staying with her until emergency medical help could arrive and transport the woman fo...

Addictive Obsessions This morning on Anderson Cooper the show was about a shopaholic mother and the destructive outcome on the family, by clicking the title of this post the show can be viewed. In this instance, the mother had became disabled and filled the void of an active life with shopping to excess and potentially bankrupting her family in the process - in complete denial. As the obsession has progressed, so has being aware of multiple diseases she is coping with in the physical body. Any addiction, will bring disease as an outward sign in the physical body - the psyche is going to find a physical match between addiction and disease, with progression between both only becoming more enhanced. In the circumstance of the show, it is easy for an outsider to tell her to just stop and change her life. Addictions create passions for the addiction and to lose the addiction a persons' pschye is going to continually reaffirm to them of a void/fear and darkness outside of addiction ...

The Painting - which withstood the fire Deb Hanna on Facebook My spirit guide drawing of Joseph and book jacket cover done by Deb Hanna Almost a decade ago, I asked a friend of mine who is a visionary artist to create a spirit guide drawing for one of my daughters. My daughter, at the time had recently miscarried a baby, was in a strange city and feeling alone with loss and adjustment. The drawing became a point of conversation with my daughter, image of feeling life was safe, and better days were to come. Shortly after receiving the drawing, she once again became pregnant and brought the first of two granddaughters into this world. The drawing through the years remained in her home. Five years ago this spring, a fire engulfed her home, total loss with heat so intense the cross beams burned also. The spirit guide drawing was sitting on a shelf above the point of origin of the fire, although everything in the home was lost – the drawing itself was found intact without even smoke...

To Not Confuse Tolerance with Peace       Tolerance is often confused as peace. Wars are ended in tolerance, treaties drafted in tolerance, and religious beliefs found as being acceptable in tolerance. Tolerance is often mistakenly accepted as being at peace with choices, which are made in life. Although tolerance and peace may find parallel lines of comfort in our world, they are not interchangeable for one another in truth. Tolerance is too tolerated in an expressive manner in life – peace is felt from the heart and expressed in the choices of life.   Are you tolerant of those who you have invited to be a part of your life – or are you at peace? Are you tolerant of the beliefs of others – or are you at peace with the beliefs of others in our world? Are you tolerant of the actions of others – or are you at peace with the actions chosen of others? Do you feel a peace in knowing you are being tolerated? Is it better to accept tolerance in hopes of pe...
