The main thing I need to do now, stop allowing people to take advantage of my kindness and then ignoring me until they need advice, help or a favor again.


I tend to agree with you there. Sometimes people mistake kindness for weakness. I found the little bit of journaling I did in 2011 helped me spot these energy vampires and I think I will probably do a little more of.

I don't think you have to keep tally sheets on long term friends but when ever things start getting upended and you are having to grab for the rails it is probably time to get off the Titanic type friendships and invest where the sailing is a little smoother.

I'm going to THROW myself into the service of others....
instead of baby stepping in.


I think that is wonderful, but please, please, please don't let homeless people over to your house. I know you have a good heart, but I will be worried sick about you if you do this. Seriously. :heart: flowerforyou


I don't bring homeless people into my house Ruth.
Don't worry your self. flowerforyou

Having worked with the homeless many years I have to say you can sometimes really nake a difference ministering to one person in a personal way.

Yea you want to have boundries and be really careful but a few that I brought to my home are still some of my most loyal friends who took the hand up and made something to be really proud of themself for the opportunity.

This thought thread made me think if something someone said to me about being one leg in and one leg out on things. If you are only half committed to anything people are going to have a hard time believeing in you.

And my request is don't let your home be a mere house while throwing yourself into service of others.

My word for myself for 2012 is "Compassion" I want to work that into my everyday life on a day to day basis and share it with everyone. I am planning to go back to school (paper work almost all finished)and also planning a trip to Germany at the end of 2012...





The world is gonna end in 2012.................Why don't ya plan that trip to come see me!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! and we will both go out with a big bang!!!!!.........laugh laugh laugh


"Both the Hopis and Mayans recognize that we are approaching the end of a World Age... In both cases, however, the Hopi and Mayan elders do not prophesy that everything will come to an end. Rather, this is a time of transition from one World Age into another. The message they give concerns our making a choice of how we enter the future ahead. Our moving through with either resistance or acceptance will determine whether the transition will happen with cataclysmic changes or gradual peace and tranquility. The same theme can be found reflected in the prophecies of many other Native American visionaries from Black Elk to Sun Bear."

I might be involved in a little of that, who knows?


Yes...exactly. That's what anyone will find out if they research the Mayan culture. A major change. Hopefully, it will be in the human races' attitudes. More love and less hate. More 'energy' flowing back and forth in a positive way. I would sure love to be part of it also. I was very intrigued in reading the Celestin Prophecy and the 10 insights. No more money. No more vieing for attention. Gather our love from all the positive energy flowing around. Seems like such a peaceful way to live the rest of my life.

I understand what you are saying but I don't think you need to take people you don't know into your home to be fully committed to helping them. Many of the homeless are mentally ill and may be very sweet and kind one minute and not so much the next minute. It's not their fault, but it is what it is.
