AurasThe aura is a unique field of energy that surrounds all living things, reflecting the energy of the spirit in that body. Its colors, textures and patterns give information about the physical, emotional, mental and spiritual states of its owner.Everything in the universe possesses an energy field around it. Although it is generally invisible to the untrained eye, this energy field or aura extends outward from the object. For human beings, this field of energy is sometimes known as the electromagnetic field. It is ovoid in shape, and

About half of all Americans say they now have a disaster supplies kit, the other half do not. In which half are you? Less than half of all Americans have an evacuation plan, more than half do not. In which half are you?
There are 163,000,000 dogs and cats in the US, yet 65% of their owners have no plan to keep their pets safe in an emergency. More people die in fires than in hurricanes, earthquakes, floods, and all other natural disasters combined, yet 85% of parents in a recent poll said they do not discuss fire safety with their children. 72% of Americans think they have a 3-day supply of water, but only 23% know that each person needs one gallon of water per day in an emergency situation.*
Begin to get the picture? Okay. Most of us are not really prepared for an emergency. Let’s get down to what it takes to survive an emergency: preparation, preparation, preparation. The U.S. Department of Homeland Security lists 30 Tips for Emergency Preparedness.
I’ll summarize DHS’s key tips and offer a few of my own that should be on everyone’s list:
• Have a plan, write it down, make sure everyone has a copy, rehearse it:
- how to get out of the house or apartment
- where to meet nearby, where to meet if you can’t remain nearby
- choose an emergency contact person out of the area, store the
name and number on your cell phone(s)
• Keep emergency supplies handy, enough for at least 72 hours
- important documents, credit cards, back-up cds, money, coins

It seems we have to become aware of a new problem that is starting to invade our modern, industrial society, that being the problem of over stimulation. The Internet is an excellent tool but we have to remember that the mind is the most valuable tool imaginable. Some would argue that spirit or soul is of equal or more importance, I am not disagreeing with these people. The point that I am attempting to put forward for discussion is that although the Internet is an excellent new medium that can affect nearly all aspects of life in a positive way, like

There are some reviewers, literary critics, and traditional publishers who believe that self-publishing (SP), in all its varieties, is for the unprofessional and untalented author. Self-published authors have not faced any critical review of their work, and the companies that do self-publishing are motivated by money rather than the quality of the work! me There is definitely some truth to this but it applies equally to some of the traditional publishing houses. These houses have, over the last 10 years or so, maintained an unhealthy fixation on "B

The starting point of all great success and achievement is dreaming big dreams. There is nothing more important and nothing works faster. Successful people are able to let go of all their self-imposed limits. They continuously fantasize about the person they want to be, and all the wonderful things they can have and do. That is why all high achieving men and women are far more optimistic, confident, and creative than most people.When you begin to dream big dreams, your levels of self-esteem and self-confidence will go up immediately. You will

Sounds like a lot, but you only have to do this once and you’re ready to deal with any emergency for the next five years or so. Call it life insurance. Pretty good Insurance too. Ask anyone who managed to survive a hurricane, flood, tornado, earthquake or fire. They didn’t expect an emergency either. Catastrophe only happens to other people, right? Wrong.
Next time, I’ll discuss how you should prepare for emergency survival in your car.
