This is a wonderful, so I want to share it... I apologize for not giving credit to the author, but thank them for being so wise...... enjoy.....

Why do I have a variety of friends who are all so different in character?  How is it possible that I can get along with them all?

I think that each one helps to bring out a "different" part of me. With one of them I am polite. With another I joke, with another I can be a bit naughty... I can sit down and talk about serious matters with one.

With another I laugh a lot.  I listen to one friend's problems. Then I listen to another one's advice for me.

My friends are like pieces of a jigsaw puzzle.   When completed, they form a treasure box. A treasure of friends!  They are my friends who understand me better than I understand myself.  They're friends who support me through good days and bad.
 
Real Age doctors tell us that friends are good for our health. Dr. Oz calls them Vitamin F (for Friends) and counts the benefits of friends as essential to our well being. Research shows that people in strong social circles have less risk of depression and terminal strokes.

If you enjoy Vitamin F constantly you can be up to 30 years younger than your real age.   The warmth of friendship stops stress and even in your most intense moments, it decreases the chance of a cardiac arrest or stroke by 50%.   I'm so happy that I  have a stock of Vitamin F!

In summary, we should value our friends and keep in touch with them. We should try to see the funny side of things and laugh together and pray for each other in the tough moments.

SOME OF MY FRIENDS ARE FRIENDS ON LINE.  I KNOW I AM PART OF THEIRS BECAUSE THEIR NAMES APPEAR ON MY COMPUTER SCREEN OFTEN AND I FEEL
BLESSED THAT THEY CARE AS MUCH FOR ME AS I CARE FOR THEM.

THANK YOU FOR BEING ONE OF MY VITAMINS!

THE MOST BEAUTIFUL THING ABOUT FRIENDSHIP IS THAT WE CAN GROW SEPARATELY WITHOUT GROWING APART.
 
 
And by the way, this applies to family too...... so have a vibrational day enjoying your dose of Vitamin F!!!

The following is the philosophy of Charles Schulz, the creator of the 'Peanuts' comic strip.  You don't have to actually answer the questions.  Just ponder on them.

1. Name the five wealthiest people in the world.
2. Name the last five Heisman trophy winners.
3. Name the last five winners of the Miss America pageant.
4. Name ten people who have won the Nobel or Pulitzer Prize.
5. Name the last half dozen Academy Award winners for best actor and actress.

How did you do?

The point is, none of us remember the headliners of yesterday.  These are no second-rate achievers. They are the best in their fields.  But when the applause dies ........Awards tarnish ........ Achievements are forgotten.  Accolades and certificates are buried with their owners.

Here's another quiz. See how you do on this one:

1. List a few teachers who aided your journey through school. 
2. Name three friends who have helped you through a difficult time.
3. Name five people who have taught you something worthwhile.
4. Think of a few people who have made you feel appreciated and special.
5.Think of five people you enjoy spending time with.

Easier?

The lesson:  The people who make a difference in your life are not the ones with the most credentials, the most money ... or the most awards.  They simply are the ones who care the most.... so keep tha close to your heart.


Sadly, even after internet research I have not been able to find the author of this amazing philosophy.... but whomever wrote it, I want to share it with you.... to ponder on.... to allow your heart to be open and accept that we don’t have to have a wall or shelf full of accolades and honors to prove what a successful and loved person we are....... just look to your friends for that....  Vibrational Blessings, Debbie A. Anderson

This story was shared with me, so I am sharing it with you in vibrational love, Debbie A. Anderson

A lovely little girl was holding two apples with both hands.

Her mum came in and softly asked her little daughter with a smile; my sweetie, could you give your mum one of your two apples?

The girl looked up at her mum for some seconds, then she suddenly took a quick bite on one apple, and then quickly on the other.

The mum felt the smile on her face freeze. She tried hard not to reveal her disappointment.

Then the little girl handed one of her bitten apples to her mum, and said: mummy, here you are. This is the sweeter one.

No matter who you are, how experienced you are, and how knowledgeable you think you are, always delay judgement.

Give others the privilege to explain themselves.

What you see may not be the reality. Never conclude for others.

Which is why we should never only focus on the surface and judge others without understanding them first.

Those who like to pay the bill, do so not because they are loaded but because they value friendship above money.

Those who take the initiative at work, do so not because they are stupid but because they understand the concept of responsibility.

Those who apologize first after a fight, do so not because they are wrong but because they value the people around them.

Those who are willing to help you, do so not because they owe you anything but because they see you as a true friend.

Those who often text you, do so not because they have nothing better to do but because you are in their heart.

Those who take out time to chat with you, does not mean they are jobless or less busy, but they know the importance of keeping in touch.

One day, all of us will get separated from each other; we will miss our conversations of everything & nothing; the dreams that we had.  
It is on that day we bring forth the memory that in that particular moment we accepted and didn’t judge!

Tomorrow is 888.  August (8th month), 8th day, and 2015 = 8.  So a very powerful combination!!

It’s all about manifesting abundance and inviting in that vibrational flow of infinite amazement.  

The “biggy” on our side of the fence, that is our humanness, needs to be kept in check.  Basically don’t let yourself be pulled in the direction of negativity if things don’t work out right first time.  

This powerful number is the vibration of keeping things in a down to earth practicality.  For instance, don’t dream of owning a large yacht if you haven’t got the knowledge of sailing or are not good at sea.  Dream yourself a dream of what you can and will utilize for your personal self.

Manifesting with 888 is about the vibration of realism and usefulness.  If your car is dying, then it is evident that you need a car that is reliable, inexpensive to run, safe etc. You can see where I am going with this.  Keep it real for you.

Of course I add my note of caution to your wishing.  With every dream comes responsibility and taking ownership for our actions.  So, as it is said, be careful what you dream for… because you may get it!

Dreaming or wishing is the combination of our thoughts and actions that create the balance in our physical soul being, and so it is thus in our spiritual world.  The two are in tandem with each other.  You only have to look at the figure 8 to realize there is no beginning and no end.  It just keeps looping around and around, in infinity.  The universal flow which is the synergy of harmony vibrating within our inner and outer world, like us they are connected.
Like any time in our lives, we have the potential to draw upon our angels, guides and helpers.  So if you are not truly positive about what you want, ask them for guidance.  They seem to know, and they will let us know in no uncertain terms because they want us to live our life to its full potential.  That is why they are there – for us!

When we reach out to the Universe, we are vibrationally supported – so reach out and tap into your 888 abundance!!

We have all had those week’s when things don’t necessarily go to plan… it’s called life!

Even if you place all your faith in God or whomever you believe and rejoice to, there are just those times when you are tested a tad more than you truly expect or want.

I suppose it is the “why” and “how” questions that we enter into when things don’t quite go according to plan.  The “how” and “why” elements immediately shift us into our ego, our human part of our being, especially when we feel it is something we have or haven’t done.  It is the immediate mental flagellating or flogging we use to blame ourselves for allowing things to transpire the way they did.

Whereas the letting go element is based on pure faith.  Trust you might call it, that sometimes, things happen for a reason.  Even if we cannot fully comprehend exactly the mystery or sequence of events around what happened, it is the acceptance and belief that it should have transpired that way.  Faith is that unrequited element that no matter how bad things seem to get, that there is a greater plan that we are not privy to…. Yet.

At the point we move from head to heart, we are centred in our vibrational energy, our core soul cellular part of us.  This is the component that sometimes moves us in a slightly different direction in order to create some shift or modification that we wouldn’t necessarily invite towards us. 

When we start that particular day or period before things start changing and fluctuating, you could say we are at ground zero.  It is only when we are flung headlong into the struggles that transpire, that we need to become heart centred, and pull from the spiritual resources within to allow our highest good or God as I call it, to guide and direct us in hope and love.

Our higher self or God element is the part that truly lets go and bonds with the divine vibration so we can be lifted up, removing the fears and doubts that do reside within. It is certainly not relinquishing responsibility, it is the calm that enters inside our energy being in peace and reassurance.  Some call it the “ah ha” moment.  It is that magical part of us, that sudden realization, that we just feel or sense that everything is going to be okay.

Our body, mind and soul have connected in completeness, so we become whole.  That uplifting feeling that the burdens and troubles are being handled, and it is not for us to sweat about it, but to move forward in acceptance and enchantment.

The incredible part about any journey is the story behind it.  For me, writing any article or blog is about the preparation on a particular subject.  Sometimes when I struggle with the context or wording and direction I reach up to spirit for guidance.  Just so you know, my week, up to this point had been going extremely well, so how could I write about faith and letting go in an empowering way.  This is the word of caution I offer to you, be careful what you wish for……

Just this week I was unexpectedly cast into two situations of such testing.  Nothing truly major, but for me, when the first occurrence happened, I momentarily stepped into “how” and “why”.  Initially, my Facebook pages had been disabled, or removed by the Facebook Gods so I was caught up momentarily in paranoia and "why me".  More because I am not a tech savvy type of gal, so anything that happens in this genre is always a challenge. 

The second was more on a personal level.  For anyone who knows me, I am not a vain person, and although image is important, it isn’t paramount.  But I do enjoy having long hair.  I suppose this stems back to when I was younger and had the basic pudding basin cut.  So as I got older I allowed my hair to grow and I suppose I have gotten used to it being that way.  But with hair it needs professional attention, so I called my hairdresser and went in for a basic trim, asking her to take it to shoulder length, cutting away all the dead stuff. 

It was a great morning, the sun was shining for the first time in a while, and as we chatted about my work and her work she started cutting away at my hair.  I was totally unaware that one side was quite a lot shorter than the other until her scissors took off the last hairs on my right side.  Somehow, to her dismay and disbelief, she had cut off more than either of us wanted.  I wasn’t in total shock, until I realized that the only way to rectify this problem was to chop off the long side to align with the much shorter side.  After all, she could hardly glue it back together again....

I certainly didn’t want to open up the conversation on “why” and “how” which is what my hairdresser kept doing while apologizing.  I reassured her that it was fine, and left endeavoring to accept that perhaps there was a bigger force at work behind all this.  After all the summer was just arriving, so perhaps having shorter hair was the way to go?  It was totally pointless going into the punishment mentality, because I am positive it wasn’t God’s will. 

Maybe it was my spirit guides and angels way of giving me these experiences so I could fully appreciate how to write this article in a more divinely understanding way. 

I truly believe so. And for me, I know that having to change my pages to align them with Facebook protocol will benefit me in a far greater way… and eventually my hair will grow back. 

I suppose ultimately it is about letting go and letting God take up the slack on my behalf.

O, for the gift of wit - Mahatma Gandhi

A lovely little anecdote, about one of life's more interesting characters.

When Mahatma Gandhi was studying law at the University College of London a white professor; whose last name was Peters, disliked him intensely and always displayed prejudice and animosity towards him!


Also, because Gandhi never lowered his head when addressing him as he expected; there were always "arguments" and confrontations!

One day; Mr. Peter`s was having lunch at the dining room of the University, and Gandhi came along with his tray and sat next to the professor. The professor said: "Mr Gandhi, you do not understand. A pig and a bird do not sit together to eat."

Gandhi looked at him as a parent would a rude child and calmly replied: "You do not worry professor. I'll fly away." and he went and sat at another table.

Mr. Peters; reddened with rage, decided to take revenge on the next test paper, but Gandhi responded brilliantly to all questions.

Mr. Peters; unhappy and frustrated, asked him the following question. "Mr Gandhi, if you were walking down the street and found a package, and within was a bag of wisdom and another bag with a lot of money, which one would you take?"

Without hesitating; Gandhi responded, "The one with the money, of course."

Mr. Peters; smiling sarcastically said: "I, in your place, would have taken the wisdom."

Gandhi shrugged indifferently and responded: "Each one takes what he doesn't have."

Mr. Peters; by this time was fuming. So great was his anger that he wrote on Gandhi's exam sheet the word "idiot" and gave it to Gandhi.

Gandhi took the exam sheet and sat down at his desk, trying very hard to remain calm while he contemplated his next move.

A few minutes later; Gandhi got up, went to the professor and said to him in a dignified but sarcastically polite tone: "Mr. Peters, you autographed the sheet, but you did not give me the grade."

Whether this is a true story or not... I think you will relate to it on many levels (smile).  Have a Vibrational day, Debbie A. Anderson
