The Sleepless Ponderings of "One Intent"

Hey Everybody,

Just wanted to take some time out and touch base with the masses,
well, not the masses really..."just you".

I have to say, I hope they approve cloning soon, I need about a
dozen more of me to stay on top of everything going on. I don’t
know though, some would say that one is far more than enough
already. Maybe I would agree at times, I’ve fired myself several
times already. But "I" don’t pay unemployment so "I" had to go
crawling back. You’ve heard of "never employ a family member",
well, employing yourself is a whole other ballgame.

Anyway, there’s a new Profile and Blog @
http://myspace.com/intentone
if your interested. It’s strictly, mostly, pretty much, all
mind - body -spirit related content. I said it’s new right?
So don’t expect much there yet, but it’s coming along...
sort of a "mirror" of the "best stuff" here.

There’s a mirror of that same content up and running at:
http:/intentone.blogspot.com You can even get the RSS feed and/or
grab a subscription by email. See further down for more...

>>>>>>>

My computer screens seem to pick up all the dust in the air and evenly
spread it across my view, so that websites begin to take on unique
views of their very own sometimes.
Makes it easy to sometimes "miss the point" in some post when reading,
as some have said...lol

I finally reached over and broke out the glass cleaner when I realized
I had taken all I could and cleaned all of them. Just in case you
don’t know, glass cleaner sends out some kind of call that a "new"
place is awaiting any dust who hadn’t found a place to reside yet,
so had put it off for awhile. A social program for wayward dust I’m
not running...

Which leads me to something else entirely, but not really.
I had to roll back Windows to a few days ago because of some crap
somewhere on one of the computers, that when I try to install a newer
version of an older virus scanner, I first have to uninstall the
older one...which in doing so, let’s "something" out of it’s
container it was put in, so I get that old "you must be signed in
as an administrator" to do that kind of thing. Da....I’m sitting right
here, you can’t sign on otherwise...I AM THAT I AM the Administrator
dagnabbit.

Anyway...so I roll back a few days to correct that....being told
"you ain’t the one" just $^%$$&* me off to no end. But then I noticed
something else entirely..."everything" rolls back to the way it was
days before. That would be days before I cleaned my screens of dust...
I know your thinking...."that’s impossible". Well, "it ain’t
impossible",
cause I’m gonna have to clean the blame things again!

So be very careful if you ever have to roll back to an earlier date
on any of your computers...."everything changes". My wife was there
one minute, and back at work the previous Friday next.
"Deva vu’. But then, this "ability" could have it’s "uses".

By the way...you can get a great virus scanner free at
http://download.com
just put in AVG Free Edition. It might tell you, but it don’t care
if you have other virus/security software or not. It finds stuff the
others can’t or won’t. There’s also a great free online scanning
engine at http://trendmicro.com . Just click on "Housecall" and let it run.

Thinking about putting together a subscription list for mailing out
all the great things I come across everyday...if there’s enough interest
in such a thing. thinking....
["I’ve been thinking....oh crap...here we go..."]


>>>>>>>

Ok, what else:

Now the "baby" is at: http://intentionalone.com
It’s my version of a social network covering the interest of
mind, body, spirit, living on love, healing, and all the way to,
alternative living, energy, medicines & treatments, foods, building,
and more. It’s not to "take the place" of any "other space" or network
but more of a "streamlined" addition to networking with "like minded"
people, and of course, friends.

I said it’s new. I’m still dreaming, and having nightmares in "code".
You can do a lot there now, like sign up, and set up a profile. I’m
working on getting custom profiles installed, bulletins, and lots of
the "stuff your used to". But that’s time, money and just me, for
the most part.

Right now there’s profiles, pictures, messenger styled chat,
classifieds, groups, blogs, audio/video styled chat, chatroom, music,
events, articles, boards, even forums, but I’m not so impresses with
those right now and the "ajax" system...I may decide to cross over and use phpBB to go with it..we’ll see.

You can send mail, invite friends, set up a group, use the blogs.
Things I’m looking to add on are:

Private Messenger, Top Friends Creator, YouTube Module, Flickr Module,
CSS-HTML In Profiles, Chat In Groups, Bulletins, Profile Builder,
Social Networks Inviter, and a lot more [big list in profile view
on the site explains more.

At any rate, go over and check it out if you like..but that’s where
most of my time has been spent...as well as lots of sleepless
nights.





Also, putting together a show @ nowlive.com, a internet
radio, chat, live, call in show, that will be in relation to the site
as I can get it going right. Maybe have you guys call in or just hang
out from time to time and "talk stuff" related to what we post and
share here. It is, and will be @ http://nowlive.com/show/KnightsIntent
Chat is always open, usually.


Now sitting up some "autoresponder" stuff and want to take
this opportunity to offer to anyone, who is now, or wants to offer any
free mini or regular courses and needs set up to do this easily.

Say you already offer a Reiki course by email to those who request it.
I can take your materials and insert into the system and all you’ll
have to do is list the address for the "content". It will then be
sent out "fresh" and regularly as you like.

Usually this has a price and even restrictions with companies who
have this service for you...but I’m offering it FREE. Well, I say free.
It will cost you the time to send me the material the way you want
them to go out, and I’ll put a few lines near the bottom, kind of
a link back to the intentionalone.com site. That’s it. And we both can
offer a wonderful thing to many others. Simple enough. Oh, and maybe
you become a free member/friend over at intentionalone.com too .



I started to add ’I’m sorry for a little "self promoting" but then,
it’s not really...it’s one more way...several actually, for you
to promote yourself, your message, your connections.



So, I hope that covers my butt for the lack of "incredible",
"inspiring", "completely off the charts", "needed that now" kinds of
post you haven’t been getting recently.
[without sleep comes questionable humor...lol]


With Much Love,

D~

Unconditional Acceptance

Breakfast at McDonald's

This is a good story and is true, please read it all the way through until the end!

(After the story, there are some very interesting facts!):

I am a mother of three (ages 14, 12, 3) and have recently completed my college degree. The last class I had to take was Sociology.

The teacher was absolutely inspiring with the qualities that I wish every human being had been graced with. Her last project of the term was called, 'Smile.' The class was asked to go out and smile at three people and document their reactions.

I am a very friendly person and always smile at everyone and say hello
anyway. So, I thought this would be a piece of cake, literally. Soon after we were assigned the project, my husband, youngest son, and I went out to McDonald's one crisp March morning. It was just our way of sharing special playtime with our son.

We were standing in line, waiting to be served, when all of a sudden everyone around us began to back away, and then even my husband did. I did not move an inch... an overwhelming feeling of panic welled up inside of me as I turned to see why they had moved As I turned around I smelled a horrible 'dirty body' smell, and there standing behind me were two poor homeless men.

As I looked down at the short gentleman, close to me, he was 'smiling.'
His beautiful sky blue eyes were full of God's Light as he searched for acceptance. He said, 'Good day' as he counted the few coins he had been clutching. The second man fumbled with his hands as he stood behind his friend. I realized the second man was mentally challenged and the blue-eyed gentleman was his salvation.

I held my tears as I stood there with them.
The young lady at the counter asked him what they wanted. He said, 'Coffee is all Miss' because that was all they could afford. (If they wanted to sit in the restaurant and warm up, they had to buy something. He just wanted to be warm).

Then I really felt it - the compulsion was so great I almost reached out and embraced the little man with the blue eyes. That is when I noticed all eyes in the restaurant were set on me, judging my every action. I smiled and asked the young lady behind the counter to give me two more breakfast meals on a separate tray. I then walked around the corner to the table that the men had chosen as a resting spot. I put the tray on the table and laid my hand on the blue-eyed gentleman's cold hand.

He looked up at me, with tears in his eyes, and said, 'Thank you.'
I leaned over, began to pat his hand and said, 'I did not do this for you. God is here working through me to give you hope.' I started to cry as I walked away to join my husband and son. When I sat down my husband smiled at me and said, 'That is why God gave you to me, Honey, to give me hope.' We held hands for a moment and at that time, we knew that only because of that which we had been given were we able to give.

We were learning as we went, giving - is receiving. That day showed me the real and true powers of Love. I returned to college, on the last evening of class, with this story in hand.

I turned in 'my project' and the instructor read it.
Then she looked up at me and said, 'Can I share this?' I slowly nodded as she got the attention of the class. She began to read and that is when I knew that we as human beings and being part of God share this need to heal people and to be healed. We ARE those who receive from us.

We are the true receivers, of our giving.
In my own way I had touched the people at McDonald's, my son, instructor, and every soul that shared the classroom on the last night I spent as a college student.

I graduated with one of the biggest lessons I would ever learn:
UNCONDITIONAL ACCEPTANCE. Much love and compassion is sent to each and every person who may read this and learn how to LOVE PEOPLE AND USE THINGS - NOT LOVE THINGS AND USE PEOPLE.

There is an Angel sent to watch over you. In order for her to work, you must pass this on to the people you want watched over.

An Angel wrote:
Many people will walk in and out of your life, but only true friends will leave footprints in your heart.

To handle yourself, use your head. To handle others, use your heart.

God Gives every bird it's food, but He does not throw it into its nest.


Send this onward, you'll see why !


*~*~*~*~* ~*~*~*~*~*~*
With a secret inside that has never been told
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*


This box is priceless but as I see
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*

The treasure inside is precious to me
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
Today I share this treasure with thee
*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*~*
It's the treasure of
friendship you've given me.

So If You Are Walking Thru A Big Pile Of Cosmic Dung

Do Not Blame The Holy Cow

In our lives there are many doorways of change we would like to enter, but like the old hermit in his cave we await the sign from above to move into that place of destined change. At what point does the external sign shift the outcome? Why do we wait for external sources to command our attention and only then make our move toward destined change?



Can we become the sign we so desperately seek? As humans we seem to need confirmation from on high that our choices are politically correct, we need an cosmic OK to move ahead. As humans we are so connected on a cellular level that we sometimes need to group with another to open the portal of possibility. Our energies emulsify with one another in agreement or disagreement to either open a portal or close a possibility.



When two or more are gathered in energy and heart the universe will unfold exposing soft skin and lift them to a place of miracles. This is a time of whipping up some home made miracles for each other with home baked intention as the main ingredient. Softly helping others kneed their desired outcome.



This is a time of deep reflection into a pool of possibility. Each situation in your daily life will touch you deeper and deeper. You can verbally discount the sadness of another but we all know that the energy of 'one for all and all for one' is not just for three musketeers. We as a planet and a collective unit of light are energetically 'our brother's keeper' whether we want to be or not. As a species created in the image of God we are vibrationally and biologically connected for it can be no other way.



As the light energy steadily increases in pressure and position we will find many who cannot adjust to this change that is driven by human needs and wants. Emotions will float to the surface like old treasures that were once hidden. Playing into another's dialogue will only clip your wings of light. Wishing a disagreeable person the very best will unplug you from their grid of negativity. Like attracts like, so if you are walking thru a big pile of cosmic dung do not blame the holy cow.

Ten Principles To Create Lasting Change In Your Life

Ten Principles To Creating Lasting Change In Your Life


Creating lasting change is something many of us find difficult. If it was so easy none of us would need to lose weight, or keep smoking despite wanting to give it up, or continue to have disastrous relationships, or work too hard, or continue to make New Year's resolutions which they fail to keep.

How often have you decided you need to do something to change your life, go on a diet, meet more people, give up listening to that negative voice in your head or cut down on your work commitments to find yourself opening the biscuit barrel or booking another appointment almost immediately.

How often do you find yourself thinking I've broken my resolution so I might as well have another..?

Creating lasting change is so much easier if you stick to the principles outlined below.

1) Be clear about what you want to change and why

Understand what is going well in your life. What is it you want more of? What is it you hate about your life and want to change? What difference would the change make to your life if you achieved it? The most dramatic changes happen when "shoulds" become "musts".

2) Believe it is possible to make the change.

Think about other examples within your life of how you have succeeded in changing. Many of the changes seemed impossible – yet you did it.

3) Set clear, specific goals.

The more specific you are about what it is you want to do the easier it is to plan how to do it and to measure your success once you have achieved it.

4) Imagine Your Success is a reality.

Imagine yourself at a time in the future when you have succeeded in making the change.

How is it different? How do you feel about the fact you have succeeded? Remember nothing succeeds like success. Use yours to help you believe you can make this future change.

5) You get what you focus on.

If you want a brilliant relationship but you only focus on work or financial success you are far less likely to achieve a brilliant relationship. Set aside time and energy to make things happen.

6) Take action

Things will not change unless you make the decision to do things differently. Many of us do the single grand gesture and then loose interest. It is the small actions taken consistently which make a sustained difference.

7) Ask for help

We have no hesitation in calling for a car mechanic or heating engineer when we want to sort our car or our heating out yet when we want to make fundamental changes to our lives we try to do it alone.

Work with a coach, a personal trainer or mentor. They can help you clarify your thinking, set goals, plan how to achieve them and hold you accountable for the choices you make. If you think it too expensive think of the cost to the quality of your life of not achieving your desired outcome.

8) Surround yourself with positive people

If you want to give up something, drinking, smoking perhaps you will find it easier to spend time with people who do not smoke or drink heavily. If you want to do something seek those who do it already and model their behaviours.

9) Maintain the pace

What action can you take today to start your journey to success? Remember even the longest journeys start with the first step. Where do you want to be in 4 weeks time, in three months, by the end of the year? Set milestones so you can measure your progress. Make them achievable but with a level of challenge. If you experience a set back recalibrate your milestones rather than give up.

10) Celebrate your success

Celebrate each small victory. Create celebrations which support rather than work against your goal. Positive reinforcement is a powerful motivator.

Consider your life. What can you do to make a lasting change in your life?
