The act of giving to the needy can likewise bring the best emotional satisfaction you will ever experience. Whatever form of help you extend, be it service or something of value, you will undoubtedly receive something better in return.

Is there anything better than a simple thank you that is meant with sincerity? Is there anything better than an appreciation that makes you feel needed and important? Is there anything better than to see smiles on other people’s faces for having made them feel equally important and cared for?

I am listening to We Are The World right now and thinking about what we could all to do to honor his memory. I am pretty sure that  his wish would be for us to do something, anything, to make our world a better place, as well as to continue his message of love and healing on this planet.

So **THIS WEEK**, the week of Michael’s birthday, we’re asking all those who are fans of Michael Jackson, as well as those who are not, to download the song, We Are The World, or purchase the single or CD album.

All proceeds from the sales of these audio and video recording continue to go to USA for Africa and allow each of us to participate in our own small way in the feeding of hungry children – in the healing of our world.  Read more...

I’d like to tell you about a new community site I have built… and, I need your help . It just went live, in fact. It was born of a sincere desire to make a difference in our world – to have an impact that can make lives healthier and happier – to help a child, a mother, a brother or sister.

This has lain heavy on my heart for quite awhile now but I couldn’t figure out exactly what I could do to make a difference.

Well, this site basically is a community – a community of healers willing to give their time and expertise to those seeking help and a community of folks who can come and talk, have a shoulder to lean on, get advice, tips, and information on how they can get healthier and make their lives better. It has a ton of articles on ailments, conditions, healing modalities – even natural health and beauty recipes. It also has a forum where we can all go to talk and learn and share.  Read more...

I know I have many folks who are in the healing profession reading this blog. So, now is the time I ask all of you to help.

I’ve been experiencing what I call a ‘dark night of the soul.’ I won’t go into what instigated my dilemma, but suffice it to say that I know without a doubt it’s time to do SOMETHING – to give back – to help without expectation of compensation, ego stroking or even recognition. The problem is, I don’t want to do it alone.

I have an idea – this isn’t a ‘profit-making’ idea, mind you – all funds, all time in conjunction with this would go to help children in need. We can pick a single ’cause’ (hunger, abuse, delinquency, education, etc) or multiple – I’m very open on that.

What I’m firm on is that every cent, and part of our time and expertise, goes to whatever cause we choose and that the cause have something to do with helping the children of our world.  Read more...
