Our Body is a Hologram of Living Light, © George Lockett

We are a part of all that is. Our consciousness springs out of the silence, which is known as the void or vacuum in Quantum Physics. This first sprouting of consciousness comes out of the silence as waves, a vibration of light. The photons of light travel till they hit something, then change from a wave to a particle and an ante-particle.

He Didn't Lie, You Just Weren't Listening, © Susan Dunn

After it blows up, and you're sitting there with your broken heart trying to figure out what went wrong, it pops right into your head -- he said he would never get married, he said he wasn't ready, he said he was too afraid of getting hurt. He told you these things, perhaps more than once, and you didn't hear it.

Smokers Put Pets at Risk, © Marilyn Pokorney

Do you smoke? Need an incentive to quit? Do you have pets? Then that beloved pet just might be the incentive you need to stop.

Researchers at the University of Massachusetts have discovered that pets are affected by second-hand smoke.

Cats living with a smoker are two times more likely to get feline lymphoma than one that's not. After five years the rate increases to three times as likely. When there are two smokers in the home, the chances of a cat getting feline lymphoma increases to four times as likely and after five years, three times the rate of cats living in smokefree homes.

Dogs living in a smoking household have a 60 percent risk of getting lung cancer.

10 Tips for Buying a Parrot, © Milo Piros

Parrots are one of the most attractive and rewarding animals in the world. Though parrots are very intelligent, their requirements and demands are quite different from other types of pets.

Therefore it is necessary for you to think carefully about the following issues before buying them.

It seems that they were very successful in the non-digital, real-world, business environment. They were a small enterprise generating a few million dollars a year in sales for their furniture products.

Stand Out in Business the Write Way, © Lydia Ramsey

When was the last time you received a handwritten note from a business associate? It may be that it was too long ago for you to remember. On the other hand, if you have gotten one lately, you know exactly who sent it and when. Handwritten notes have become almost extinct in the business world. So if you are looking for ways to stand from the crowd, to be noticed by your colleagues and clients, try putting pen to paper whenever you have the slightest excuse.

You Made A Mistake? Way To Go!, © Rosella Aranda

Mistakes have gotten a really bad rap. Whether you call it an error, a blunder, a screw-up, a faux pas, a gaffe or a boo-boo, no one wants to be guilty of committing one.

The fear of not performing "up to snuff" leads many people to procrastinate or even worse, never to act at all. For many, this has become a major debilitating problem.
