Real Human Connection…  What does that even mean?  Have we lost touch with each other?  Do we have real connections anymore?  What about real honest relationships?

Are we afraid to be the real us in public or around our friends?  Do we hide behind labels, societies rules or our own fears?

Are we walking down the street afraid to strike up a conversation with another person?  How often are we completely surrounded by other people only to feel completely alone? Do we find ourselves feeling lonely and in the need of a big hug and no one is there to give us one?

In Melbourne, Australia one man is making a difference...

This is something else. I’ve never heard of a library that carried tools before – only libraries that carry my favorite books. The tool library in the city of Portland, Oregon is truly a brilliant idea. When you think about it, things like power tools don’t really get all that much use before they’re discarded. This means that a lot of resources are being put into making things that aren’t getting very much use. So why not have a library where you can rent out tools instead of owning them? It’s less expensive, easier on the planet, and can help de-clutter your shed.

There are always going to be tools that I want to have around, like socket wrenches, shovels and screw drivers. But a lot of the things I have I wish I could just rent instead of own. Maybe one of these days I’ll organize a tool library for my community. What’s your take?

MANIFEST YOUR DREAMS Welcome to this blessed day in which exists all possibilities. Of the myriad of choices available, what will you choose? Do you realize the importance of your words and how they ripple throughout the entire fabric of the universe? Have you any realization of the impact your thoughts, both positive and negative, have on yourself and others? Thoughts and words fueled by your emotions are the stuff that manifestation is all about.

What is it you desire? What forgotten dreams lie within you? Have you a problem that needs resolved? Is there a fear you wish to overcome? Have you an addiction to a food or substance that you would like to regain control over? Is there a relationship you would like to establish or reconnect? Choose one to focus on today.

Take a few moments to center yourself and release the worries of the day. Clear your mind of the clutter that distracts you. Focus on your breathing, letting your breath flow in and out at a normal rate. Relax your muscles and let your mind wander to an issue you would like to work on today. See it clearly in your mind. Use all five senses to make the visualization as real as you can. In your mind’s eye, look at what is happening around you. If there is some part that you don’t like, change it until the dream feels comfortable and gives you joy. When any fears or doubts come in, let them flow by. If concerns over money arise, set them aside and know that you will be shown ways to purchase or obtain this item.

I was fifteen years old at my best friend’s house, she had her family over for dinner. I was munching unassumingly on a salad, when the older man sitting across the table looked at me and said, “ I can see people’s Auras.”

Coming from your typical American family, I had no idea what Auras were so of course I had to ask,” What are Auras?” He told me Auras are an energy field that radiates from the different chakras or energy centers from within a person and then surround each person with what some can see as a visible color halo. If you focus enough you can see this halo of these colors a few inches from the person’s body. Kind of like if you would squint your eyes when someone is in front of you their outline would double. I asked him how he began seeing these colored energy emissions? He said that he had gone to visit his brother one night, his brother was into taking heavy drugs. When he had arrived at the front door of his brother’s house his brother hallucinating that he was a robber, accidentally shot him from a few inches away with a shotgun. His torso was immediately torn to pieces, he fell to the ground and went into shock where he blacked out. He said he remembers ascending into the afterlife but that is a story for another time. After a journey through the spirit kingdom, he was told by a white omnipresent being that his time wasn’t done on Earth and sent back into his earthly body.

When you truly start to see yourself and your Earth-plane existence as sacred, you will know deep in your heart that sacred is also beautiful, strong, loved and perfect in its imperfections. The Universe never makes mistakes. ~ Creator
