Happy Chanukah to my Jewish Friends!!!!

I want to wish all of you that celebrate Chanukah...a happy one! Although I am not Jewish, I have fond memories celebrating with my dear Jewish friends. La Chiam!

Here is a link to Adam Sandler's infamous song:

Here are the lyrics:
Put on your yarmulke
Here comes Chanukah
So much funukah
To celebrate Chanukah
Chanukah is the festival of lights
Instead of one day of presents, we have eight crazy nights

When you feel like the only kid in town without a Christmas tree
Here's a list of people who are Jewish just like you and me
David Lee Roth lights the menorah
So do James Caan, Kirk Douglas, and the late Dinah Shore-ah

Guess who eats together at the Carnegie Deli
Bowser from Sha Na Na and Arthur Fonzerelli
Paul Newman's half Jewish, Goldie Hawn's half too
Put them together, what a fine lookin' Jew

You don't need "Deck The Halls" or "Jingle Bell Rock"
'Cause you can spin a dreidel with Captain Kirk and Mr. Spock- both Jewish

Put on your yarmulke
It's time for Chanukah
The owner of the Seattle Supersonicahs
Celebrates Chanukah

O.J. Simpson, not a Jew
But guess who is? Hall of famer Rod Carew- he converted
We got Ann Landers and her sister Dear Abby
Harrison Ford's a quarter Jewish- not too shabby

Some people think that Ebenezer Scrooge is
Well he's not, but guess who is
All three Stooges
So many Jews are in showbiz
Tom Cruise isn't, but I heard his agent is

Tell your friend Veronica
It's time to celebrate Chanukah
I hope I get a harmonicah
Oh this lovely, lovely Chanukah
So drink your gin and tonicah
And smoke your marijuanikah
If you really, really wannakah
Have a happy, happy, happy, happy Chanukah
Happy Chanukah

Honoring Friends by Letting Them Know They Are Gifts

Today I received this from a friend and I encourage you to take the time out and honor your friends in any way you see fit. It could be a phone call, email, text, hug, card, or feel free to cut and paste the following and use it how you see fit.

Oh, and I dedicate this to all my friends...YOU!

A friend is someone we turn to
When our spirits need a lift
A friend is someone we treasure
For our friendship is a gift.

A friend is someone who fills our lives
With beauty, joy, and grace
And makes the world we live in
A better and happier place.

Thanks for being my friend!


Namaste,
Tina

Attitude is Everything!

I've been noticing lately that many people have lost their positive attitude. For some people, their lives have changed due to their financial circumstances or other areas of their lives. They are forgetting that we are all warriors. We can overcome so much. We have the power to transform, transcend and transmute our situations in our lives. We are like butterflies, always in a cycle of transformation. Change is inevitable. Going with the flow is must.

I would like to share with you this story:

There once was a woman who woke up one morning, looked in
the mirror, and noticed she had only three hairs on her head.
"Well," she said, "I think I'll braid my hair today?" So she
did and she had a wonderful day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and saw that
she had only two hairs on her head.
"H-M-M," she said, "I think I'll part my hair down the middle
today?"
So she did and she had a grand day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and noticed
that she had only one hair on her head.
"Well," she said, "today I'm going to wear my hair in a pony
tail."

So she did and she had a fun, fun day.


The next day she woke up, looked in the mirror and
noticed that there wasn't a single hair on her head.
"YEA!" she exclaimed, "I don't have to fix my hair today!"


Attitude is everything. Be kinder than necessary, for everyone you meet is dealing with issues. And when you give out kindness, you get it back tenfold.

Live simply, Love generously, Care deeply, Speak kindly. Leave the rest to God.

Have a Good Day!

Whenever I think of a departed one, I only remember the good and the joyful times so that I can continue to feed me with positive thoughts.

After someone dies even thinking about them can hurt so much that you can’t face it. Your mind may be crowded with images, thoughts and negative memories associated with their acts toward you or perhaps their illness and circumstances of the actual death.

It's important to consciously and intentionally select all the positive things and memories and have that run in your mind so that you can continue to feed your mind, body, spirit and emotions with positive energy.

As time passes you will begin to be able to remember things in a much less painful way. You probably have years of happy memories connected to the person hidden in between some sad memories. Select the positive ones and have them rerun in your mind so that you can deprogram the negative ones.

And if there is nothing you can think positive about a particular person, view them as teachers. Possibly one of your biggest teachers. All the teachings and learnings you have experienced. What have they taught you not to be like or what have they brought to your attention that made you improve your life ...because it was clear that they didn't live in a positive way? Thus teaching you through negative reinforcement.

In my shamanic practice, there is a pray that I say and part of it reads:
"I honor all my relations, those that came before me and those that have yet to come. Even my children's children."

And by honoring all my relations, I really am honoring myself since we are all connected.

Namaste
