Showing up for Life

Actively ParticipatingShowing Up For Life The way we walk into a room says a lot about the way we live our lives. When we walk into a room curious about what’s happening, willing to engage, and perceiving ourselves as an active participant with something to offer, then we have really shown up to the party. When we walk into a room with our eyes down, or nervously smiling, we are holding ourselves back for one reason or another. We may be hurting inside and in need of healing, or we may lack the confidence required to really be present in the room. Still, just noticing that we’re not really showing up, and having a vision of what it will look and feel like when we do, can give us the inspiration we need to recover ourselves. Even if we are suffering, we can show up to that experience ready to fully engage in it and learn what it has to offer. When we show up for our life, we are actively participating in being a happy person, achieving our goals, and generally living the life our soul really wants. If we need healing, we begin the process of seeking out those who can help us heal. If we need experience, we find the places and opportunities that can give us the experience we need in order to do the work we want to do in the world. Whatever we need, we look for it, and when we find it, we engage in the process of letting ourselves have it. When we do this kind of work, we become lively, confident, and passionate individuals. There is almost nothing better in the world than the feeling of showing up for our own lives. When we can do this, we become people that are more alive and who have the ability to make things happen in our lives and the lives of the people around us. We walk through the world with the knowledge that we have a lot to offer and the desire to share it.

Handy Hints

Helpful HintA bottle of 91 percent or more of isopropyl alcohol will clean (markers, sticky stuff, dirt, etc.), and pry apart photos stuck together. Then separate and dry them with the printed side up. Be sure you use at least 91 percent alcohol because anything less contains too much water and will cause additional damage to your photos. Once they've dried, you can look at them, but how about putting them in a nice album so you won't have to go through this again. Burnt Popcorn Smell in the Microwave:To get rid of this awful lingering stink, fill as large microwave-safe bowl with one cup of water and sprinkle your favorite spice like cinnamon or add several drops of vanilla or lemon extract. Bring to a boil. You must let it sit inside for 10 to 15 minutes to cool down. Simply wipe the walls down with paper towels. Leave the door open (with it unplugged to save the light source), to further air it out.Leftovers: Keep two large plastic ice cream buckets in the freezer, one for leftover poultry and cornbread and one for leftover roast beef and vegetables (such as corn, carrots, etc). When full, make cornbread dressing with the first and homemade soup with the second. Small piece of onion or celery can go into either container. If your cake recipe calls for nuts, heat them first in the oven, then dust with flour before adding to the batter to keep them from settling to the bottom of the pan. * Noodles, spaghetti and other starches won't boil over if you rub the inside of the pot with vegetable oil. * Brown gravy in a hurry with a bit of instant coffee straight from the jar... No bitter taste, either. * To hasten the cooking of foods in a double boiler, add salt to the water in the outer boiler. * Stuff a miniature marshmallow in the bottom of a sugar cone to prevent ice cream drips. * To keep potatoes from budding, place an apple in the bag with the potatoes. * Cure for headaches: Take a lime, cut it in half and rub it on your forehead. The throbbing will go away. * Don't throw out all that leftover wine: Freeze into ice cubes for future use in casseroles and sauces. * If you have a problem opening jars: Try using latex dishwashing gloves. They give a on-slip grip that makes opening jars easy. * Add a little lemon and lime to tuna to add zest and flavor to tuna sandwiches. Use cucumbers soaked in vinegar and pepper in sandwich instead of tomatoes. Use mustard instead of Mayo to cut the fat and add a tang. * Instead of the water your recipe calls for, try juices, bouillon, or water you've cooked vegetables in. Instead of milk, try buttermilk, yogurt or sour cream. It can add a whole new flavor and improve nutrition. Permanent Marker Stain on Carpet My granddaughter got dark blue magic marker on my carpet tracing around a sheet of paper. I took Purell hand sanitizer and rubbed on the marks and took a rag and the blue marker came up very easily off my light green carpet.
Handy Hints #1

Minor Burn: Apply a thin coat of Colgate or Crest toothpaste.

Handy Hint #2

Let your toothbrushes soak in a cup of peroxide to keep
Them free of germs.

Handy Hints #1

A little bit of toothpaste smeared over mosquito bites will
Stop the itchy feeling quite well for most people.

------------------------------------------------------------
Handy Hint #2

Cool a bad sunburn by gently dabbing the area with a cotton
Ball or soft cloth saturated with cider vinegar
