Hi to all

Hi I’m new hare and firstof all ...i want to share my some of childhood days with you..

 

Most of us have theexperience of playing with toys when we were small. The small cars or theadorable dolls that our parents bought meant the world to us and we spent manya lazy summer afternoon playing with the same. Then we grew up and lost touchwith our innocent selves and nothing was the same any longer. As we grew up, webecame busy in our lives. We had personal commitments to adhere to andprofessional deadlines to meet and the memories of our childhood days fadedaway. However, we can now reconnect with our childhood by buying children'stoys for the little ones in our lives. These could be our nieces, our nephews,or our own children; we can gift them the best children’s toys and relive ourchildhood days.

Subject: How is Vedic Astrology different from Western Astr
Posted: 22 Aug 2009 at 12:26am

The start of each new astrological year is done by Vedic astrology itself, in terms of the stars or their assemblage, employing marker stars to identify the start of the first point of Aries. Start of Aries is marked by the western system in terms of the earth and its spring equinox season. But this way western system’s zodiac, horoscope and astrology are not able to symbolize astronomical positions as it is done by Vedic astrology’s zodiac, Horoscopes and Astrology.  

Western and Vedic systems are about 23 degrees apart from each other, both in marking and starting points of Aries due to Vedic astrology adjusting for the back wobbling of the earth's axis and the Western system not. Unless you were born between the 15 and 20th of the month, your Sun sign moves back one sign in Vedic Astrology.

In totaling, many hundreds of prognostic methods are their with Vedic system based on lunar signs, on multiple chart divisions and the like. Vedic astrology pays more attention towards the rising Sign and the Moon than on the Sun and has deep roots in philosophy and growth of awareness. One of the hallmarks of Vedic astrology is that it also employs certain remedial measures to help fortify the client in the event of unfavorable birth positions or planetary periods.

 Vedic astrology notifies the individual growth and challenges one has to face in coming future, but can recommend specific measures to help improve life's conditions.

bsands68....

I would have been with you on this one. I think a 'relaxing' gift is a nice gesture, but offering some relief is something that people in that situation will remember for a lifetime. I was part of a MOMS Club a few years back and one of the things I loved most was the meal support they provided for moms with new babies. We would organize 6-7 meals to help offer some relief so the family could focus on their newborn (and some rest). My friends suprised me one year by providing some meal support when my son had sugery....it was completely unexpected and I will forever appreciate the thoughtfulness.

I live outside myself.

How do people see me? Am I good enough? Is everyone happy? Am I relevant? How exhausting to always have my antenna tuned to everyone else, including the local grocery clerk. (Did I smile at her correctly? Was I NICE enough?)

I don't have to be agreeable, I like how I think. I don't want to be like everyone else, I admire my uniqueness.      
 
I really like this and can identify with it, but on a slightly different level. I struggle with friendships, just plain friendships.  I don't have a problem meeting people, but seem to have trouble keeping them in my  life.  This has been the case for as long as I can remember. 
 
Most recently it has shown itself in the helping of a neighbor.  A couple of "ladies" wanted to get this neighbor, whose husband is very ill, a spa package. I didn't think it was appropriate.  I sent a return email suggesting lawn care service for this family for the summer, not mentioning my thoughts that if my husband were dying getting a mani and pedi would be the last thing I would be worried about.  But just suggesting offering the family some relief so they could spend time together.  Basically I was handed my hiney to me on a platter. A platter that was then sent to the entire neighborhood. 
 
At first I was extremely hurt and upset. I couldn't believe someone could be so cruel.  Then I had just accepted it. Like I always do when people "dis" me or my ideas. After the tears dried, I forced myself to take a step back and look at why this email was sent.  This was not my problem, this was a deeper issue that my neighbor has.
 
So I really like this quote <  don't have to be agreeable, I like how I think. I don't want to be like everyone else, I admire my uniqueness. >  I don't have to be like everyone else.  I DO like my ideas and I don't have to be agreeable. I only have to be civil.
 
We as women are too hard on ourselves.  We are raised to always please.  It is hard to overcome when you are not given the same courtesies.

I haven't tried Chinese herbs, but I do believe that nature provides a variety of 'home remedies' for us. As with anything, not everything works for everyone. Finding the right solution for you is important-whether it's a natural remedy or requires a stronger over-the-counter remedy. I've been using a daily 'detox' made with a variety of 'natural' ingredients. I can honestly say, I've never felt better. I suffer from PMS every month and this 'detox' has help eliminate several of the symptoms that left me feeling sluggish and icky (for lack of a better word!). For my headaches though, I go straight for the tylenol!]]> Mon, 04 May 2009 20:40:18 +0000 the7percentfactor.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16&PID=70#70 Career : Pink slip with a silver lining? the7percentfactor.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15&PID=69#69 Author: desert dweller

I think Kim brings up a very important point when she talks about volunteering and how important it is for her to take this new passion in to whatever she moves into next. I found that same passion during my 5 years home with my children and it inspired me to make sure that whatever I do from here on out in my life is productive and leaves a mark on the lives around me. My dream is still to help train single mom in new careers so that they are able to support themselves and their children. While my immediate situation requires me to be working a job that hasn't quite got me to that dream, I am 'collecting' skills and knowledge along the way that will. Knowing that we want to move to Wyoming in a few years, I've already found a company there that I would like to work closely with. As the time comes closer to the move, I plan on contacting the women who run the organization to find out what I can do to prepare myself for a position with their company (or to start my own if need be!). Monica's 5 to 10 year advice is constantly in the back of my mind and I view my immediate as a working transitional stage.]]> Mon, 04 May 2009 20:33:52 +0000 the7percentfactor.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15&PID=69#69 Career : Pink slip with a silver lining? the7percentfactor.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15&PID=68#68 Author: dashwoodm

During times of transition, now is an excellent time to ask youself, where do you see yourself in 5 to 10 years.  If there is a financial goal you need or want to achieve, how does that weigh in to your transition options?  Are you wanting to run your own business or feed a hobby or passion?  Are you needing to work full time involving a full time income, but want to change industries?  The most effective transitions are when you can bridge your past experience and show relevance to your future employers, or free lance clients. 

Self care is also of paramount importance as you transition.  Get rest, sleep, work out and revitalize yourself, so you can come back to the job search or client hunt fresh and rejuvenated.   o

I too am in the boat of "career transition".  It definitely has its ups and downs.  There are days that I wonder why even bother but I get past that feeling and keep pushing through.  I have joined a few different job search support groups (similar to AA meetings but for folks that have been laid off) that I found through MeetUp and LinkedIn that have been helpful.  I also have a great group of friends and colleagues that have been supportive and great for sharing ideas and information.  I've met new people, have built relationships with previous friends and colleages and have had the time to reflect back on my career and focus on my professional succeses...these are all good things.  Although I haven't experienced my "aha" moment and gratitude for being laid off, I get closer to it everyday.  ]]> Fri, 01 May 2009 14:40:23 +0000 the7percentfactor.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=15&PID=67#67 Nutrition and Medicine : Chinese Herbs the7percentfactor.com/forum_posts.asp?TID=16&PID=66#66 Author: Harrisonma

I believe that traditional medicine often masks symptoms without taking care of the underlying problem.  Chinese herbs cannot cure everything, but I think it is amazing for things like chronic headaches, stomach problems, and autoimmune disorders.  Has anyone else had positive experiences with Chinese herbs?  If you would never consider them, why not?

Posted: 30 Apr 2009 at 8:36pm

Three ingredients for success in getting regular exercise:

1)  Do it 4-6 days a week, first thing in the AM - get up at 5 AM if you have to, even if it means you need to go to bed at 9 PM.
2)  A treadmill - weather can no longer be an excuse for not running or power walking
3) An iPod filled with music that makes you want to dance.  I literally sing and dance on my treadmill.  My family appreciates that I keep the treadmill in the basement. Thumbs%20Up
