I wish everyone could alleviate and expell the hurt and pain caused them by others. Let the ego go - it is extremely hard - and the pride, and just as everyone above has said: live in the present. Much healthier, and happier that way. leave the past in the past. Get on with your lives from this moment. I bless God for the colors and flowers in the world. I think they were created for our souls and well being. Look at them again, now, and think about it. Look after yourselves. You are just as important as the next being.

I used to think all that positive talk was hokey too – when I didn’t fully understand. As effective parents / educators would it be wise to only rely on one method of care / teaching practice? So, if you can BE a little different, try something new, breath well and enjoy life fully then maybe Tolle doesn’t speak to you at this point in life. With stress accounting for some 90% of illnesses, I’d rather ride the healthy train... I like BEing healthy ‘cause DOing healthy just didn’t cut it anymore:-) Dear Oh my!

My family has gathered at my house to support me and I am trying to "live in the moment and letting go of the nervousness of the future". THe present moment is all we really have. Thanks, Ellen.
