1.
Don’t struggle to
change the circumstances of your life. Give love through your good feelings and
what you want will appear!” from The Power.
2.
Also from the
book The Power: “You have to give good feelings first. You have to be happy
first, and give happiness, to receive happy things! Whatever you want to
receive in life, you must give first!”
(Hey, it can’t hurt, right? Lol)
3.
That I am NOT
raising the mealworms, which are supposed to raise and kill afterward! I will
NOT raise animals to kill them! Not that we would tell the children, but even
THAT level. No on EVERY level.
4.
And – that I have
told them in no uncertain (but yes polite and professional) terms.
5.
And that whatever
we decide I DO raise (because butterflies are nixed as have already been done
in another grade), they will have to supply the materials/ equipment….
6.
And the science
person is coming today to meet with me about it! To help me decide what to
raise. I’m so grateful. And proud of myself for this.

Food for the
birdies. I’m watching them eat right now.
8.

them.
10. That the way you FEEL SO affects the outcome of any
relationship. I know, for example, that when I spent the afternoon with J
Sunday, it felt so positive that I wanted more. Well HE has felt my NEGATIVES
for so long, of COURSE he wouldn’t have wanted more. Like that.
11. “If you’re feeling joyful about the relationship most
of the time, you’re giving love, and you must receive love and joy back through
that relationship because that’s the frequency you’re on.”

known existed!
