Lonely No More! How to Deal With Feelings of Loneliness

Author: Dr. Ken Herman

Isn't it amazing that we're surrounded by people, but infinitely lonely? A feeling of loneliness hits people from all walks of life, singles as well as married people.
Not too long ago, I received a call from a man who lost his wife and was feeling extremely lonely. He reported that he sorely missed his wife and that doing things alone had frequently left him depressed.
"I'm like a fish out of water," he exclaimed.
He never had many friends or joined clubs. He had no hobbies or special interests. "I feel like life is nothing without her." He wanted to know if there is a cure for loneliness and if what he was experiencing was normal.
Obviously, this man was most upset about losing his wife. He felt abandoned and alone, and wasn't sure what he could do to feel happy again.
Feeling lonely is a common phenomenon. It's not just widowed people who feel lonely. People who are married or in a close relationship can also feel lonely.
Some people feel very restless and isolated when they are alone. However, being alone need not be a dark and dreary experience. We can enjoy spending time with ourselves.
Sometimes, thinking to ourselves is an opportunity to "go inside" and reflect, create meaning or a find a new understanding.
Sometimes, being alone gives us time that's needed to learn a new hobby, play an instrument, read a book (or write one), exercise, do something creative or artistic, or learn a new language.
Being alone can be a rewarding experience. Perhaps the key is not feeling sorry for yourself (or self-pity). When we feel sorry for ourselves, your thoughts can quickly plummet down into depression. Instead of this, get busy. Switch to a pro-active, "what's next?" mindset. Look for ways to meet new people. Find something useful or creative to do. You could even volunteer your time for an organization. Margie told me she would like to meet someone, but being alone had its advantages. When I asked what they were, she replied, "You can't get hurt staying by yourself!" Margie felt like the possibility of rejection was greater than any pleasure she might experience in being vulnerable and making new friends.
It doesn't have to be that way. Examine your state of loneliness. Think about what you can do differently. Where can you go to meet new people? How can you find "common ground" or something to talk about? Strike up a conversation with strangers.
Loneliness is usually a temporary condition. All it takes is one another person, and you're no longer by yourself.
That's why I encourage you to step out of your comfort zone, and talk to someone. To be a friend, you must first show yourself friendly.
If you are struggling, take the time to work through any issues you might be facing. If necessary, seek professional help. There is no reason why we should face life alone. And please, do not try to deal with loneliness by using drinking, overeating, drugs, or withdrawing to bed. These methods are not healthy and will make matters worse.

Instead, make an effort to talk to people. If you are shy, join a club, special interest group, or take a course. The next time you feel alone, jump up and make something happen. You'll be glad that you did!

Enigma Cinema – How to Watch and Enjoy a Confusing Movie

Author: Adrienne Gross

There’s a genre of movies that I wish DVD stores would devote a shelf to, maybe in between drama and horror, because that’s what it’s like trying to get through a confusing movie. You might know what I mean—any film that has more questions than credits, and merits some kind of warning like “Only watch this if have some basic understanding of the Middle East peace process.”So, why do confusing movies exist, what is their place in cinema, and how can the audience enjoy them?

What is a confusing movie?
You know you’re watching a confusing movie when your mind is scurrying about with more questions than a Trivial Pursuit deck. Like, ‘why did that happen?’, or ‘I must be so dumb arggggh I’m not getting this!’ Memories of high school aptitude tests return—except you can’t just colour in ‘ABBA ACDC’ for the entire film. 

What’s so confusing?
 Mind messiness can be caused by one or both markers of such movies: what it looks like and what it’s about; direction and plot. If directors and editors opt for techniques such as split screens (Kill Bill) shaky cameramen (Bourne Identity) and subliminal cut shots (Fight Club), then it’s brain overload, given that we’re typically only used to anything as flashy as Cameron Diaz’s white-as-light smile. Directors like to tease with false hints, like leaving the camera on a piece of paper for too long, or slipping in a crescendo of ooh-ah music. As for plot, when the characters all look the same or talk the same, they become ‘that guy with the bad moustache’ (CIA dude in Charlie Wilson’s War) or ‘Leonardo di Caprio’ (The Departed). That’s even if you can understand what the actors are saying with their patois of potty pommy such as in Snatch.Witty scriptwriters flex their knuckles with glee when writing any script with time-shifting and flashbacks. The audience is left to function on a Friday night’s worth of brainpower to determine when the hell they are, let alone what is going on (Memento, 12 Monkeys).

Why do confusing movies exist?
  So then, if the audience folds origami frowns in foreheads, why do studios produce confusing movies? Because it makes the film seem arty – “Oh well, it must be a good film because it was on so much a higher level.” However, just because something seems smarty-pants does not make it entertaining.

Confounding can be astounding…
 All that intense thinking needed for confusing movies though can be entertainment— anything you have to watch more than once to understand is like hiring two DVDs. Plus, there’s the smug feeling of “Oh of course it’s so obvious now.” Who remembers watching The Sixth Sense the second time and seeing how it was all done? Pretty clever hey. And Fight Club—well, if you weren’t offended you’d be commending how the script, editing and direction all came together.

 But perplexing is too vexing
 What happens though when the tricky elements don’t come together? Unless you’re watching Inconvenient Truth for education, or a WWF Smackdown ‘documentary’ for post-lobotomy recovery, most films fall into that happy medium of entertainment to keep one occupied for a couple of hours. What a confusing film does to upset this aim is to spark arguments and popcorn fights when the less clever/awake moviegoers forego cinema etiquette and rasp out too many ‘who was that’s’ and ‘I don’t get it’s’. And, just as Dada artist Duchamp rotated a urinal 90 degrees and called it art, some films are just as much a joke —and just as much piss-takers.  Producers know the plot is dodgy, so they make it look arty to draw in crowds.

How to enjoy a confusing movie
 Until such time as the Office of Film and Literature Classification runs a statement of ‘Warning, may cause wrinkles’, what is the humble moviegoer to do to ensure they understand what’s going on?1. ---Read the reviews first. If words such as ‘artful’, ‘complex’ and ‘confounding’ crop up, prepare yourself by watching the trailer on the internet. You may even need to read Homer’s Greek epic ‘The Odyssey’ before seeing George Clooney in ‘O Brother Where Art Thou’ to get more from it. And for Georgy boy again, read several issues of The Economist to understand what he’s up to in Syriana.2. ---Stay awake. Do not drink red wine before seeing such a film. Go with caffeine, but not too much to need a trip to the loo in those crucial scenes.3. ---Damage control. If you’re in the cinema wondering why some guy went into a hotel room and whether the scene is in the past, present or future, then keep quiet. Even if everyone else is stirring their grey matter into a tangle, imagine if they all started whispering “who was that” or “why did he do that”. You’d then miss the next line, protracting into an echo of “what did he just say?” Remember, there’s no rewind button between choctops and super soppa sodas.4. ---Recover. Just get it out on DVD and hope that dinner parties for the next three months don’t involve any intense conversations about how extraordinarily delightful that eight Oscar-nominated film is.

Studios should shape up
Perhaps the studios would make more money if people weren’t so intimidated by confusing films—it is possible to get the balance right. So I plead to the honchos of Hollywood to consider some factors in their confusing films. Give your characters names that are distinguishable and memorable. If you must tell a story that requires watching SBS news every night, just pass it off as ‘based on true events’ and leave it at that —or do a Star Wars style text intro. Keep the fancy editing to a minimum and please, if you’re going to use accents (The Wind That Shakes the Barley), shout us all a Guinness beforehand so we can get native.Next time you’re thinking about what kind of movie to see, consider something a little more engaging than a chick-flick or action blockbuster. Confusing movies needn’t be a drama or horror story for audiences; by knowing how to follow a convoluted plot, excellent entertainment value is possible.

 What is Buddhism?

Author: Pablo Antuna

What is Buddhism? Why should we ask that? Buddhism is defined as a religion (a really large one, with 500 million followers according to some sources), although not everyone agrees on that, saying that it could be considered a philosophy or a way of life. Buddhism gets its name from Siddharta Gautama, whom was called the Buddha by his followers. This is a title that means the awakened one or the enlightened one. He is thought to have lived in Northern India around the year 500 BC. We don't have many historical facts about him, but we can say that he existed and lived in India. He was a prince of the Shakya tribe, son of King Suddhodana and Queen Maya. It has been common in the Buddhist world to refer to him as Shakyamuni, “the sage of Shakya tribe”.After some time of living as a prince, he decided to seek enlightenment. Eventually, he achieved that. He started to talk about his experience to others on the roads of Nortern India. In this way, Buddhism was founded. The most ancient of Buddhist scriptures are called the Pali Canon or Tripitaka, they are written in Pali, a language very similar to the one spoken by the Buddha. These scriptures are given different degrees of importance by different schools or branches of Buddhism, but they are considered the mother of all Buddhist scriptures.The Theravada School, the most ancient and conservative of Buddhist branches, considers the Tripitaka the only true scripture. They try to imitate what they consider were the practices and beliefs of the early followers of the Buddha. Many consider Theravada Buddhism more of a philosophy, as it doesn't involve any worship of gods. Then we have Mahayana Buddhism, the larger of Buddhist branches. It has many variants, like Pure Land Buddhism, Zen and Tibetan Buddhism. The Mahayana changes dramatically the beliefs and practices of what is considered traditional Buddhism. They give more importance to devotion of what are called celestial bodhisattvas and Buddhas. These are people who achieved enlightenment or certain degree of wisdom. They have godlike powers and can help you ahieve salvation. This sounds more like traditional religion. So, Buddhism is a very complex traditions that has many layers. It's difficult to characterize it as a whole. To learn more about the different beliefs and practices of Buddhism, you might be interested in the following site by author Pablo Antuna:    Buddhism Through Buddhist Eyes: Learn about Buddhism in a clear language.  Buddhist teachings: Understand what the Buddha tries to convey to his followers.

Difference

There is a "Difference" being rich and poor. If you poor, you struggle with your basic necessities in life. No food to eat today, so forget about what you eat tomorrow. No shelter, no clothes, basically nothing at all. Life is full of struggling, mourning and dreaming of seeing a glimpse of hope in future. If you are rich, what is there to tell. Loads of things even to waste! I need this or no I do not like this, oh ya I want all of these, well no no I do not want all of these... When you rich, you are the master of choices. But when you poor, oh no you are the slave of each and everything in your life.... But still remember, you can win this harsh battle one or the other day! Also remember today you can be a King, but next day you can be a beggar!

What Does it Mean to be a Lesbian?

Author: Jason Rase

Glancing through the pages of your favorite magazine, your eyes get fixed on the electrifying beauty with amazing curves…it’s not that you are just appreciating her bodily charm, neither you are jealous of her assets…your heart fills up with such desire that you have never felt before…you want to touch her, feel her, want to make love to her…you can’t stop thinking about her…you ask yourself…’Am I a lesbian?’…

Lesbian women feel romantic and sexual attraction only towards other women, and not for men. Delving into the pages of history, we can come across the legendary Greek poetess Sappho whose objects of attraction were primarily other women. The word ‘lesbian’ is a derivative of the term ‘Lesbos’ – the island where Sappho lived. Historical evidences have proved that lesbian affairs were quite commonplace in the ancient world. There’s nothing to be surprised of after hearing and reading about these ‘women-loving-women’. What’s wrong in that if some women feel comfortable being physically, psychologically and spiritually closer to other women? Nothing can stop them from being what they are. Studies have shown that out of every ten teens, at least one is either lesbian or gay (men who feel sexually attracted to other men)! You can come across lesbians in every races, classes, cultures and professions – they are everywhere.

Most of us, whether straight or gay, become aware of our sexuality, our innermost sexual desires, during adolescence. While the majority is drawn towards the opposite sex at this stage, some young girls develop a crush on other beautiful women. Instead of handsome hunks, gorgeous lasses start coming into their dreams. You must have gone through a confusing state of mind when all your girlfriends were dating men and you were preoccupied with the thoughts of your dream-gal! But, the time has now come to get over with all your confusions. If you are sure that other women turn you on then you are definitely a lesbian and being a lesbian, you certainly have the rights to live life in your own way. Lesbian relations are as natural as the relationship between a man and woman. Love is such an emotion that is always pure, whether it exists between two heterosexual individuals or two women is inconsequential!

In some women, development of sexuality is a time-consuming process. So, take your time and express your feelings once you are confident and comfortable regarding your sexual orientation. ‘Same-sex attraction between men and women is absolutely normal’ - scientists and researchers have come to this conclusion long before. So, what is preventing you to love your desired woman? If you and your partner are in love with each other and want to stay together, no force in the world can stop you from doing so…just be yourself and remain true to yourself.

Though our society has often stereotyped lesbians, you will be wrong if you assume lesbian women behave in a particular manner and have certain traits. Your sexual preference may be different from that of your friend, but it doesn’t mean that both of you cannot have similar interests and pursue the same hobbies. Your sexual orientation is just a part of your total self, it’s not the entire you. Moreover, there’s good news for all lesbian women – violation and discrimination against them is decreasing steadily, thanks to the untiring efforts of the lesbian organizations that have strived hard to establish their civil rights.

Once you acknowledge yourself as a lesbian, you may start wondering how to ‘come out’ with your orientation in open. Here, the lesbian counseling agencies can come at your rescue. They will surely let you know the right time and place for coming out. Having supportive family, friends and colleagues can help you to lead a blissful lesbian life. There are various instances that a lesbian has found true joy of life after getting accepted by their near and dear ones. The discussion forums available at the lesbian websites can also ward off all your queries regarding lesbian sex. The best thing about lesbian sex is the chance of getting infected with HIV and other STDs is quite less than other sexual activities.

You can enjoy your lesbian life once you start feeling good about yourself. Just because some prudes think your way of sexual expression is not right, you must not destroy your much-valued self-esteem. Neither you need to hide your sexuality, nor should you become angry and get depressed about it. You are born this way and you have every right to live in your own terms. Take inspiration from the books written and films made about lesbians. They will give you lots of courage and give you back your self-respect that you may have lost somewhere in the way. Meeting other single lesbians or lesbian-couples can provide you a clear picture of how fulfilling life can be for a lesbian. Feminist groups like NOW (National Organization for Women), the lesbian and feminist associations of your local colleges and universities and nearby LGBT Social & Resource Organizations are always there to lend their helping hands for you.

Please don’t live with pent up emotions anymore, but keep your wings of hope and desire afloat…nobody will dare to cut off your wings…fly high, higher…& reach the rainbow!

Care and Cure

Benefits of Earning a Degree in Nursing

Author: arianna jordan

For those individuals who are looking for a career with long-term earning potential, lots of opportunity for advancement and a wide range of settings in which to work, those are just a few of the many advantages of earning a degree in nursing. According to the Bureau of Labor Statistics, the health care industry will grow by 21% by 2016, opening hundreds of thousands of jobs. The majority of those jobs will be in the home health care field, which will grow by 51%. According to the Occupational Outlook Handbook, the demand for registered nurses alone will increase by 35%, adding another 700,000 jobs to the marketplace. That means that there will be more opportunities than ever to find a job in nursing. In these economic times, ease of finding a job is a major plus to earning a degree in Nursing. Requirements for getting a job in the nursing field, however, are getting more stringent. It is no longer enough to have a diploma from a nursing school, not if you want a job that pays well and the ability to decide where and how you want to work. In fact, the highest paying jobs in nursing and health care will be going to those who have advanced degrees. Higher certification standards mean that those who do not have at least a nursing certification will not be able to work in the field at all. If your intent is to get a nursing job that pays well, a certificate or license is no longer enough. You really need a degree to expect a promotion to management or even floor management in nursing. Nurses with advanced degrees will find unexpected doors opening to them. More and more hospitals are requiring at least a B.S. in Nursing for their charge nurses and head nurses. A B.S. in nursing will also put you in the running for other management jobs, as well as for specialized jobs within the field of nursing. Those specialized fields may include Trauma Center nursing, pediatric nursing, psychiatric nursing or nutritional counseling. Other nursing degrees will give you more autonomy as a nurse than most Registered Nurses can expect. A nursing degree may open the door for you to become a nurse practitioner, with the ability to diagnose and prescribe for patients, or a nurse midwife. A nurse with a degree concentration in business and management may manage a nursing home, a hospice or a nutritional clinic. A nursing degree with a concentration in research can open the door to working in medical research. In short, as in any other career path, further education opens more doors to advance your nursing career both personally and professionally. Advantages of Earning a Degree in Nursing    You’ll always be able to find a job.  There’s more to this than the aging of the Boom Generation, too. Medical science is opening new doors in the health care industry from home health care to community nursing. There will always be jobs for qualified nurses, and those who have nursing degrees will always get hiring preference.  You’ll be able to find a job anywhere you want to live.  From the inner city to luxury suburbs, every community needs nurses. Whatever your ideal setting is, chances are good that the community will welcome you with a job and open arms. You can even choose to travel while you work – there are nursing jobs in the hospitality industry, including nursing jobs on cruise ships and in resort towns. Want to spend the winter in Fort Lauderdale and the summers on the shores of the Great Lakes? That’s doable, too. There are agencies that specialize in temp jobs for nurses in high demand cities. When you have a nursing degree, you can choose where you want to live and know that there will be a job.  Nurses with degrees can command higher salaries.  Nurses with an advanced degree can earn, on average, 25% to 50% more than non-degreed nurses, even in the same position. In addition, a nursing degree is a requirement for some of the highest paying jobs in nursing. Those jobs include head nurse and management jobs, jobs in hospital, nursing home and clinic management, industrial nursing jobs and nursing jobs in city, state and federal Public Health departments.  A nursing degree gives you more career choices.  Specialization is becoming the norm in all fields these days, but especially so in medicine. Advanced nursing degrees often offer you the opportunity to acquire specialized knowledge in a particular nursing field. That specialized depth of knowledge will allow you to work in higher paying jobs that have more of an effect on the world of medicine and on the patients with whom you work.

Letters

Love Letters: Is There A Right Time To Send A Letter?

Author: Jill Brennan

Do you know when to send a romantic letter?  Many people save romantic letters only for those red letter days of romance:  Valentine's Day, anniversaries, a wedding day.  Sending a romantic letter shouldn't be reserved for just the typical days of love.  A romantic letter can make any day a special day between lovers.  It can transform a plain old week day into a new romantic holiday.  Sending an unexpected romantic letter tells a loved one that he/she is thought of on those days when no one said this is a day to say I love you.

What are some days when you might want to send a romantic letter?  Well, knowing when to send a romantic letter can be as simple as thinking about the days when you are overwhelmed by love for your partner.  Many days will immediately leap to mind.  The birth of a child is a day many memorialize with a romantic letter.  In fact many romantic letters are associated with children.  Parents often find that the milestones in their children's lives remind them of how much they love their spouses.  A child's first day in school can be the occasion for sending a romantic letter.  A child's graduation from school is another day to commemorate with a romantic letter.  The marriage of a child can also kindle romantic thoughts in a child's parents.  All of these circumstances are reasons for sending romantic letters.

Some of the best times to send a romantic letter though are those days when there seems to be no reason whatsoever for writing a love letter.  Consider sending a romantic letter not just when your loved one looked particularly beautiful.  A romantic letter may be particularly appreciated when a woman is feeling like she doesn't look her best.  A loving letter sent by a wife when a husband is feeling out of shape or overweight can be both a pick me up and an incentive.

Of course, a person might want to send a letter after a night of sensual bliss.  How exciting in later years to pick up a missive and recall a moment of passion.  A romantic letter might even inspire another episode of lovemaking.  Again, though sending an unexpected romantic letter in the middle of a stressful week can lift a person's spirits and remind him/her why the hard work is all worth it.

In a time when cell phones and e-mail make actual handwritten letters less and less common sending a romantic letter speaks to the heart and to the soul.  Not only has that but a romantic letter gives a loved one a touchstone for recalling a touch, a word, a moment.  A romantic letter says that you cared enough to sit down, take pen in hand and tell a person how much he/she means to you.  How can there ever be a wrong time to send a romantic letter?

Lazy eyes

When Your Eye Gets Lazy

Author: Sharon Bell

You’ve probably encountered a couple of lazy people in this world. But did you know that laziness can strike the eye too?

When your eye wanders inward or outward or doesn’t seem to follow the other one, you have what doctors call a “lazy eye.”

Lazy eye or amblyopia is a condition where one eye doesn’t work as hard as the other. This leads to poor vision in the affected eye leading to permanent visual impairment. The condition is common in children who were born prematurely and tends to run in families. In others, both eyes are affected.

“Lazy eye is the leading cause of decreased vision among children. And lazy eye is fairly common. Lazy eye affects about two to three of every 100 children, according to the National Eye Institute,” said the Mayo Clinic.

The condition may be caused by an anatomic abnormality such an irregular eye shape or differences in shape between the eyes. Other possible causes are eye defects like nearsightedness, farsightedness and astigmatism. A cataract can also trigger its development.

“The most common culprit is strabismus - an imbalance in the muscles responsible for positioning of the eyes, which can cause the eyes to cross in or turn out. The muscle imbalance prevents the eyes from tracking with each other,” said the Mayo Clinic.

Early detection is important to save the patient’s sight. Treatment depends on the cause. Corrective eyewear is all that’s needed for patients suffering from common eye defects.

To force the weak eye to work, your doctor may ask your child to wear a patch over the strong eye. This forces the patient to use the bad eye, leading to dramatic improvement of vision.

Anatomic abnormalities may require surgery. This holds true for cataracts and other anatomic problems.

“For most children with lazy eye, proper treatment improves vision within weeks to several months - and the earlier treatment begins, the better. Although research suggests that the treatment window extends through at least age 17, results are better when treatment begins in early childhood, the Mayo Clinic concluded.

To reduce eye bags, dark circles and wrinkles around the eyes, use Eyederma to restore your youthful look. For details, visit http://www.eyederma.com/.

Accuracy and Success

Three Great Secrets To Success

Author: Ricky Hensman

What makes some people more successful in life than others ? What makes people happy? Are success and happiness linked ?

These are questions which has been asked for hundreds of years and many answers have been discovered and rediscovered over this time. Many of the main answers relate to how you think about yourself and the world around you and simply by changing how you think will start to have a dramatic effect on your life.

One of the first principles which you must accept is that you must take full responsibility for the events in your life. It is no use blaming other people, the government, your boss etc. for the things that are wrong in your life. You have total control over how you think and act and it is up to you to decide to be happy and successful. Happiness comes entirely from a state of mind. If you decide to be happy you will be. The more you think about happiness and success the more it will will happen. Once you accept this first point you can take many positive steps towards success.

Probably the most important of these can be summarized in the following three steps:

Assess your main target in life.

Choose a definite aim in life, one which you know is realistic for your talents and abilities, one which you know is something you really want to do and enjoy doing. Make up your mind that you will push as hard as possible towards that aim. To ensure success you must have a burning desire for this purpose and want to take the appropriate action to achieve this purpose. Write this aim down.

"Know what you want, when you want it, why you want it, and how you intend to get it."

Set goals which are consistent with this target.

Goal setting is one of the most powerful ways to focus and achieve success. However goals must be in accordance with your main aim in life. If you strive for and achieve a goal which is not in line with your target, it will not help you to be happy even if you are generally successful. Goals can be of different length, short term, medium term or long term. Ideally have a mixture of all three. You should write your goals down, even this act alone will make it much more definite and much more likely to achieve. Read and review your goals often. Make your goals achievable and have at least some which you can see the path to achieving even if it's not always clear how you will reach the longer term goals.

Take continuous action towards your goals.

Once your goals are written down aim to take definite actions towards these goals even if they are very small. It is essential to get into the habit of avoiding procrastination when you know there are tasks to be done. A great way to do this is to plan to only take a little action, sometimes as short as a few minutes at a time. Often this will get you going and you will devote more time to it than you originally planned, at other times you will realize that now is not such a good time, but you will have achieved a little bit towards your goal. Another great habit to adopt is to tackle the most difficult task first and get it out of the way. This usually makes all the rest of the task so much easier.

Following these easy three steps will have a very positive effect on your life and will dramatically improve your chances of success.

Power of Flowers - Melt Away Stresses of the Day

By: Betty Washington

Can you think of one thing that brings a smile to a person’s face faster than a flower? It’s something about flowers that releases all our cares  and they float out the window the moment we become the recipient of a flower. How do you feel when you receive flowers or even purchase them for yourself? I think flowers were created to remind us to slow down and remember to enjoy life’s journey. Flowers may be used to represent nearly any occasion or mood.

A popular flower that is known for its soothing affect is the  lavender.  It is often used to calm the restless spirit. Its aromatic fragrance is known for quieting a hyper spirit and bringing stress  down to a safer level. A remedy for a hard days work is  a soothing  lavender bath. Imagine sitting in a warm tub of water filled with lavender oils and how your body melts into a total relaxing state of being. The lavender not only  provides aid for your spirit, it is known to soothe low back pain and even reduce the effects of rheumatoid arthritis.

Lavender is also used in flower arrangements to symbolize romantic intentions.  The lavender plant is one of many  flowers that are used to deliver a message to the recipient. Flower arrangements that contain the blue and green colors  are used to bring a feeling of tranquility. Flowers arrangements that contain reds and  oranges symbolize sensual messages. Lastly, arrangements that contain yellows and peaches represent nurturing.

Home is one of the first places to go to receive nurturing because for most people, that is the place where we fill up on the things that enable us to deal with the world outside our front doors.  Cut flowers at the front entrance of the home are the first thing people see when they come into the home and they are the last thing they see when they leave your home. Imagine your family members seeing a  simple vase of cut flowers as they return home from a hard day of work and other activities. Their mood is instantly changed to a softer more receptive home environment.  The flowers send a message that says its alright to relax and enjoy your down time at home.

There are many occasions for which the soothing power of flowers may be expressed and set the mood instantly. Flowers are authentic symbols that enable a person to “let their hair down” or  to “stand tall for the occasion.”

Flower Decoration for Teen Girls

Author: Sushil Kumar Singh Raghav

Teen girls who want flower arrangements for maybe a party or some other special occasion like a birthday or graduation have many options to chose from.  They can always put the flower arrangements together themselves or hire a company to create the different variations out there.  Depending on how many flowers and arrangements the teen girls want, would probably make a difference in whether hiring a company or doing it themselves. Doing it themselves would be a great learning opportunity and way to create something and really be a part of the party and the process of setting up a party and doing arrangements.  Some different flowers that are popular with teen girls are daises, daffodils, tulips, and roses.

There is also babies breath that can be added to any arrangement for additional color and to fill in any empty spots that might be available.  Or using long leaves or stick leaves to fill in spots and keep other flowers from falling over always works well too.  Also, using flowers as an added to touch around a house, not just on tables but laid and placed around a room can add a touch of beauty and ease to any party.  Teen girls that want flowers for their parties could also possibly pick themselves.  This is a very natural and easy way to add color and fun to any party or room.

My own daughter has flowers pictures that she has printed hung up all around her room.  Which goes along with her bedding and the rest of her furniture.  It makes her room very feminine and fun.  She picks colors that go well with the rest of the colors in her room and hangs them around.  This is a great way to decorate with flowers because they won't die and she can do it herself.  Teens that want flowers decorations could also look at local thrift shops and second hand stores.  There are great finds here, because a lot of the flowers and pictures are from the 60's and 70s and have a completely different look to them compared with pictures from today.  Also, the pictures and decorations will be very unique and no one else will have them, which is something every teen girl wants to be, very unique.

Tips To Help You Save Money On Your Outgoings

Author: Peter Kenny

Most people have seen their monthly outgoings rise over recent months, and this is due to factors such as rising living costs, hiked up bills, soaring petrol prices, rocketing food prices, and much more. It is little wonder, therefore, that so many households are now struggling to keep up with their financial responsibilities, as the outgoings for many have soared to the point where they no longer have enough money coming to make ends meet.

Many people have tried to shave their outgoings wherever possible, but it is not all that easy, especially if you were already on a tight budget and do not have any luxuries that you can cut back on. However, it is still worth looking at ways in which you may be able to save money on the amount that you are paying out, and there are a number of ways that you may be able to do this, although some may require some willpower and determination!

For example, you could make a resolute pact with yourself to give up smoking, and whilst any smoker know that this is not an easy task just think of the amount of money that is literally going up in smoke from your pocket each week. The amount of money that many smokers spend on cigarettes is phenomenal, not to mention the damage to their health. What better time to give up than when you desperately need to save money on your outgoings and as well as saving money you may even be saving your own life!

It is also worth considering the cost of drinking and eating out, and whilst we all need to get out from time to time, it may be worth considering a few more nights in, with your friends around for a bite to eat and a few drinks, which is a lot cheaper than having to pay for meals and drinks out. If you are a regular cinemagoer, look into renting out some DVDs instead, as this could save you money, especially if you tend to go in a group you can all watch a DVD for one price rather than having to pay individually to go and see the movie at the pictures.

Whilst there are a number of ways in which you can cut back on your outgoings there is also you income to consider. You could look at trying to increase your income if possible perhaps by getting a second job or even utilising skills such as your ability to play a musical instrument or carry out computer repairs by turning it into a sideline opportunity providing lessons for others in playing the instrument or advertising for computer repair work in local shops and papers. A little extra income may help you to make ends meet that little bit more easily, or could enable you to put some money aside for emergencies.

Anger Exposed

Anger Exposed: Why Do People Really Get Mad?

Author: Maria Meiners

Ever wonder why people get angry? Sure on the surface there are lots of reasons, some which may be completely valid. When you go beyond the surface however, to the core of why people get mad, it always comes down to the same thing. People get angry because they're not getting their way. I know....at first it may not seem like that. But think about the times you've gotten angry at someone. It always boils down to someone not doing something you think they should do or not acting in a way you think they should act. In the case of circumstances it comes down to things not turning out how you want them to. And when you're mad at yourself it is always because you somehow came up short of your own expectations. Does it feel a little uncomfortable to think that not getting your way is the root cause of your anger? It sure made me feel uncomfortable at first. I really wanted to blame someone or something for my emotional state. But then I realized that by taking ownership of my anger, it actually put me in a place of power. You see....If my anger is about someone or something doing something to me then I'm powerless to do anything about it. But if it's about ME not getting my way then I have the power to affect change. So ok, you're angry and you acknowledge that it's because you're not getting your way about something. What can you do about it? First allow yourself to feel the emotion fully. Allow yourself to be really mad. Say you're really mad. If you need to do something physical then do something safe and non-destructive. When you allow yourself to feel the intensity of an emotion it usually peaks then wanes over a few minutes. Then you can decide how you want to proceed. Note - When you're feeling an intense emotion there are no words. You are not yelling or accusing or telling a story about how you're right and the other person is wrong. It is a very physical and base experience. After the intensity of emotion fades, your logical mind can take over and you can decide what's next. Since you know that the base reason you're angry is that you didn't get your way, you can start to think about exactly what isn't going your way and what you'd like to see happen instead. Then you can go a step further and decide if it's something to insist on, compromise about, or let go.

Body Painting: Face Painting And Nude Body Painting, Male And Female

Author: NAVAL LANGA

Being the most ancient form of art, people love the art of face painting and whole body painting.
Face Painting: The art or artwork of body painting that is done only on face is known as 'Face Painting'. The large scale or "Full Body Painting" is known as "Art of Body Painting". Body painting is an art that uses human body as a canvas. It is a form of painting pictures or spreading colours on human body making it pleasant looking to the eyes of viewers. It is an artistic application of exotic colours all over the body. No part is now a day safe from body painting! But the face takes the most of work.
Body Painting Art in Asian Countries: In India the women and men are fond of using Henna. It is a colour extracted from a plant of Henna; it is also known as Mehandi. This type of body painting with Henna has been a fashion in India and the Middle East since many years. People paint their hands and legs and other parts of body with Henna during the auspicious ceremonies like weddings. The use of henna or Mehandi has become popular in the Western countries, too, since last two decades. On the figure given here a painter is painting on the subtle body of a woman wearing almost no clothes.
Body Painting in South America: The art of body painting is not a new phenomenon in the countries of South America, too. People here have been using indigenous materials to paint their body and body parts. They use wet charcoal, annatto, and other materials available in the local surrounding. In some parts of America, a material known as Huito is used to paint the bodies and faces. Huito is a black dye, and it takes weeks to fade away.

Why & How to Relax During Labour

Author: Samantha Thurlby-Brooks

Relax... your body knows what it's doing so you don't need to do a thing! You don't need to think about what comes next or what position you should or shouldn't be in, or whether you've left the iron on! You're having a baby and your body loves it.

When your baby is ready to be born it will signal to your brain that large pulses of oxytocin is needed to start the process of birth. Oxytocin is a hormone of Love according to Dr Michel Odent and has been well documented and studied as such. Not only is it released during childbirth, but this wonderful hormone is also released by both men and women during orgasm, when looking into the eyes of a loved one, when sharing a candlelit meal and basically whenever doing anything that makes you feel love and bonding. It is interesting then that at a time when it is released in its highest doses (during childbirth) we relate the experience to pain and suffering. Surely if this hormone of love can create euphoria during orgasm, it can create feelings of Joy during childbirth.

The key to this is the ability to relax. During sex, if you had the lights on full, were trying to have an intelligent conversation and had a couple of people staring at you, it's highly unlikely you'll manage to orgasm from the experience! I suppose it depends on your sexual preference... but most people, men and women, would agree on this issue. So then, given that huge amounts of this hormone are needed during childbirth it is even more essential to turn the lights down low, switch off your thinking brain and have some privacy.

Oxytocin is inhibited (blocked) by the release of the hormone Adrenalin. Adrenalin is the famous 'fight or flight' hormone that is released in times of stress and fear. It gives the body a boost of energy, increases awareness and allows the muscles to tense and the breathing to quicken so as to run or fight. Pretty much the opposite of the Love hormone Oxytocin. When Adrenalin is released during labour the body thinks it is in a dangerous situation and will often slow the labour down so as the woman can either fight or run and protect her unborn child.

During childbirth, any form of stress and tension the labouring woman is exposed to will slow down the whole process. A labouring woman must feel safe in her surroundings and with the people she is with in this situation in order to relax enough for adrenalin to stop being released. Other causes of adrenalin release, besides feeling unsafe, are; feeling cold, eating/drinking sugar, other people releasing adrenalin (it is a contagious hormone) and moving around too much.

The best way to relax during childbirth is to breathe. No matter where you are, who is around or what birth stories you've heard in the past, breathing will help you through the contractions and allow you to stay focused and calm.

Top tips to stay relaxed:
Keep Warm
Breathe
Trust your body
Keep your attitude positive

The more you practise positive thinking before labour, the easier it will be to have a positive attitude during labour. Having a positive attitude will make the whole event seem quicker and more enjoyable, rather than a struggle. If anyone around you expresses themselves in a negative way, either ask them to leave, change their attitude or turn their negativity into a source of determination and inspiration.

For example, "you're only 5cm dilated" can make a woman feel like she's failing, having done so much hard work and her body still isn't ready. On the other hand, you could turn the statement around and say/think "you're 5cm dilated, let's imagine my cervix as 10cm dilated". You'll be surprised how changing your thoughts and statements will have a direct impact on your experience of childbirth and can even make physical changes very quickly.

You're having a baby! This is the last time you and your baby will be so intimate with each other, so relish in every moment. Each contraction brings your baby closer to your arms and will make you a mother. Bring your baby into the world as you would like to be brought into the world.
