10 Secerts of Love

* The first secret - the power of thought.
Love begins with our thoughts. We become what we think about.Loving
thoughts create loving experiences and loving relationships.
Affirmations can change our beliefs and thoughts about ourselves and
others. If we want to love someone, we need to consider their needs and
desires. Thinking about your ideal partner
will help you recognize her when you meet her.

* The second secret - the power of respect.
You cannot love anyone or anything unless you first respect them. The
first person you need to respect is yourself. To begin to gain
self-respect ask yourself, "What do I respect about myself?" To gain
respect for others, even those you may dislike, ask yourself
"What do I respect about them?"

* The third secret - the power of giving.
If you want to receive love, all you have to do is give it! The more love
you give, the more you will receive. To love is to give of yourself,
freely and unconditionally. Practice random acts of
kindness. Before committing to a relationship ask not what the other
person will be able to give to you, but rather what will you be able to
give them. The secret formula of a happy, lifelong, loving relationship is
to always focus on what you can give instead of what you can take.

* The fourth secret - the power of friendship.
To find a true love, you must first find a true friend. Love does not
consist of gazing into each other's eyes, but rather looking outward
together in the same direction. To love someone completelely you must love
them for who they are, not what they look like.
Friendship is the soil through which love's seeds grow. If you want to
bring love into a relationship, you must first bring friendship.

* The fifth secret - the power of touch.
Touch is one of the most powerful expressions of love, breaking down
barriers and bonding relationships. Touch changes our physical and
emotional states and makes us more receptive
to love.



* The sixth secret - the power of letting go.
If you love something, let it free. If it comes back to you it's yours, if
it doesn't it never was. Even in a loving relationship, people need their
own space. If we want to learn to love, we must first learn to forgive and
let go of past hurts and grievances. Love means letting go of our fears,
prejudices, egos and conditions." Today I let go of all my fears, the past
has no power over me - today is the beginning of a new life."

* The seventh secret - the power of communication.
When we learn to communicate openly and honestly, life changes. To love
someone is to communicate with them. Let the people you love know that you
love them and appreciate them. Never be afraid to say those three magic
words: "I Love You." Never let an opportunity pass to praise someone.
Always leave someone you love with a loving word - it could be the last
time you see them. If you were about to die but could make telephone calls
to the people you loved, who would you call, what would you say
and......... ....... ...why are you waiting?



* The eighth secret - the power of commitment.
If you want to have love in abundance, you must be committed to it, and
that commmitment will be reflected in your thoughts and actions.
Commitment is the true test of love. If you want to have loving
relationships, you must be committed to loving relationships. When you are
committed to someone or something, quitting is never an option. Commitment
distinguishes a fragile relationship from a strong one.

* The ninth secret - the power of passion.
Passion ignites love and keeps it alive. Lasting passion does not come
through physical attraction alone, it comes from deep commitment,
enthusiasm, interest and excitement. Passion can be recreated by
recreating past experiences when you felt passionate. Spontaneity and
surprises produce passion. The essence of love and happiness are the same;
all we need to do is to live each day with passion.

* The tenth secret - the power of trust.
Trust is essential in all loving relationships. Without it one person
becomes suspicious, anxious and fearful and the other person feels trapped
and emotionally suffocated.
You cannot love someone completely unless you trust them completely. Act
as if your relationship with the person you love will never end.
One of the way in which always you can tell whether a person is right for
you is to ask yourself, "Do I trust them completely and unreservedly? " If
the answer is "no", think carefully before making a commitment.

Love is Never Silent

Love is Never Silent

A loving heart, a gentle smile
a warm and tender touch
We give so many things in life
but nothing means as much.

A little inspiration
when one loses hope,
A kind word of encouragement
when they no longer seem to cope.

A simple phrase, "I love you"
when no one else is there
Taking hold onto a hand
in a little heartfelt prayer.

Love is never silent
It has so much to say,
And it is our greatest blessing
when we give it all away.

Glass Bridge

The Glass Bridge Construction of the Skywalk began March of 2004
and is estimated to be completed by 4th quarter of 2006.

The Glass Bridge will be suspended 4,000 feet above the Colorado River on the very edge of the Grand Canyon. On May 2005, the final test was conducted and the structure passed engineering requirements by 400 percent, enabling it to withstand the weight of 71 fully loaded Boeing 747 airplanes (more that 71 million pounds).

The bridge will be able to sustain winds in excess of 100 miles per hour from 8 different directions, as well as an 8.0 magnitude earthquake within 50 miles. More than one million pounds of steel will go into the construction of the Grand Canyon Skywalk.

WHAT YOUR ICONS DO AT NIGHT !

Have you ever noticed when you use your computer first thing in the morning, the icons appear to be in a different place than when you left? Have you sensed that something goes on if you leave your computer onovernight? When you go to bed at night you ought to know what actually goes on!!!

Icon Story



http://www.xs4all.nl/~jvdkuyp/flash/see.htm

The Thieving Starlings!

Bill owns a company that manufactures and installs car wash systems. (Magic Wand Car Wash Systems, just in case you want to buy one.) Bill's company installed a car wash system in Frederick, Md. Now, understand that these are complete systems, including the money changer and money taking machines.


The problem started when the new owner complained to Bill that he was losing significant amounts of money from his coin machines each week. He went as far as to accuse Bill's employees of having a key to the boxes and ripping him off. Bill just couldn't believe that his people would do that, so they setup a camera to catch the thief in action. Well, they did catch him on film!























That's a bird sitting on the change slot of the machine.




























The bird had to go down into the machine, and back up inside to get to the money!

























That's three 25 cent coins he has in his beak! Another amazing thing is that it was not just one bird -- there were several working together. Once they identified the thieves, they found over $4000 in quarters on the roof of the car wash and more under a nearby tree.



























And you thought you heard of everything by now!!!
And to think the phrase "bird brain" is associated
with being dumb. Not these birds. Share the story!!

What Your Soul Really Looks Like

You are very passionate and quite temperamental. While you can be moody, you always crave comfort.

You are a very grounded, responsible, and realistic person. People may not want to hear the truth from you, but they're going to get it.

You believe that people see you as larger than life and important. While this is true, they also think you're a bit full of yourself.

Your near future is calm, relaxing, and pretty much what you want. And it's something you've been anticipating for a while now.

For you, love is all about caring and comfort. You couldn't fall in love with someone you didn't trust.

What's Your Theme Song?

Your Theme Song is Back in Black by AC/DC

"Back in black, I hit the sack,
I've been too long, I'm glad to be back"

Things sometimes get really crazy for you, and sometimes you have to get away from all the chaos.
But each time you stage your comeback, it's even better than the last!

How Sarcastic Are You?

You Have Your Sarcastic Moments

While you're not sarcastic at all times, you definitely have a cynical edge.
In your opinion, not all people are annoying. Some are dead!
And although you do have your genuine moments, you can't help getting your zingers in.
Some people might be a little hurt by your sarcasm, but it's more likely they think you're hilarious.

What's Your EQ (Emotional Intelligence Quotient)?

Your EQ is 107

50 or less: Thanks for answering honestly. Now get yourself a shrink, quick!
51-70: When it comes to understanding human emotions, you'd have better luck understanding Chinese.
71-90: You've got more emotional intelligence than the average frat boy. Barely.
91-110: You're average. It's easy to predict how you'll react to things. But anyone could have guessed that.
111-130: You usually have it going on emotionally, but roadblocks tend to land you on your butt.
131-150: You are remarkable when it comes to relating with others. Only the biggest losers get under your skin.
150+: Two possibilities - you've either out "Dr. Phil-ed" Dr. Phil... or you're a dirty liar.

Some common Hawaiian words

Very few Hawaiians are fluent and the last known count I know of counted only 1000 individuals that were fluent in the language. Most use some of the words in an English sentence. However,if you every visit the island is helpful to know a little Hawaii, especially for directions. When I lived there I learned some words that were common. You will hear these everywhere. All letters are pronounced.

mauka (MOW-kah, MOW rhymes with pow ) meaning toward the mountain. Used all the time when giving directions. Example: "My house is on the mauka side of pua Drive."

makai (mah-KIE) meaning towards the sea. Opposite of mauka.

pau (pow, with a bit more oo sound on the end). Finished. Done. Over with.

keiki (KAY-kee). Child. Children are very special there. Keiki can also mean smaller. For example: keiki size picnic lunch. Portions tend to be very large in Hawaii.

mahalo (MAH-ha-lo). Thank you.

ono (OH-noh). Delicious. This word you will see a lot at places to eat. Also the name of a local food fish which is also delicious.

ohana (oh-HAH-nah). Family, relation, kin

aloha kakahiaka (ah-LO-hah kah-kah-heeAH-kah). Good morning.

aloha ahiahi (ah-LO-hah ah-hee-AH-hee). Good evening.

Mahalo (MAH-ha-lo) Thank you

Mahalo nui loa (MAH-ha-lo NU-ee LO-ah). Thank you very much.

'O wai kou inoa? (O vie ko-wee-NO-ah). What's your name?

ALOHA Is......................................

You will hear this word often. It really is not like the work Hi or hello. It really has more meaning to it. The Aloha Sprit Law- The Hawai`i Revised Statutes, section 5-7.5.

"Aloha is the essence of God in man."
~Pîlahi Pâkî

ALOHA Is.....................


A is for AKAHAI, meaning kindness,
to be expressed with a feeling of tenderness.

L is for LÔKAHI, meaning unity,
to be expressed with a feeling of harmony.

O is for `OLU`OLU, meaning agreeable, to be expressed with a feeling of
pleasantness.

H stands for HA`AHA`A, meaning humility, to be expressed with a feeling of modesty.

A stands for AHONUI, meaning patient, to be applied with perseverance.

What Animal Were You In a Past Life?

You Were a Spider

You tend to be the master weaver of fate - both for yourself and those you know.
A creative force, you tend to work from divine inspiration.


I thought this one was really weird. A spider, I just do not know.

How Is Your Inner Child?

Your Inner Child Is Surprised

You see many things through the eyes of a child.
Meaning, you're rarely cynical or jaded.
You cherish all of the details in life.
Easily fascinated, you enjoy experiencing new things.

What's Your Learning Style?
