I have been mocked for "Spreading the Love" ... people have laughed at me when I shared the wisdom of Love ... And it will take much more than that to stop me.  I will continue to Spread the Love.  

Since we love, we have the power to heal ourselves.  There are many ways of love and also many levels of love ...

It takes courage to break free from social conditioning and venture beyond the herd ... I realized that I had become a sheep and just kept following wherever the group decided to go.  For me that meant giving up control and I couldn't even see who was leading the pack ... I did what I was told when it came to "going on a diet".  I believed when I was told that I was beautiful ... if only I would lose the weight.  I believed that I was imperfect.  I believed that IF ONLY I could weigh this and look like that, I would be loved.   

We have been conditioned to believe that love comes with conditions.  It that really love?    

I began questioning everything ... why do this? ... what happens if I don't? ... I discarded all beliefs and started from scratch.  I've learned that at the root of healing is love ... self love ... easy to say we can love our self, however, our ego is always trying to sabotage ... keep working on it ... it takes time ... and I promise ...  you will be greatly rewarded ...

A successful business man was growing old and knew it was time to choose a successor to take over the business.  Instead of choosing one of his Directors or his children, he decided to do something different. He called all the young executives in his company together.

He said, "It is time for me to step down and choose the next CEO.  I have decided to choose one of you.” The young executives were shocked, but the boss continued. "I am going to give each one of you a SEED today - one very special SEED. I want you to plant the seed, water it, and come back here one year from today with what you have grown from the seed I have given you.  I will then judge the plants that you bring, and the one I choose will be the next CEO."

One man, named Jim, was there that day and he, like the others, received a seed.  He went home and excitedly, told his wife the story.  She helped him get a pot, soil and compost and he planted the seed. Every day, he would water it and watch to see if it had grown.  After about three weeks, some of the other executives began to talk about their seeds and the plants that were beginning to grow.

Jim kept checking his seed, but nothing ever grew.

Three weeks, four weeks, five weeks went by, still nothing.

By now, others were talking about their plants, but Jim didn't have a plant and he felt like a failure.

Six months went by -- still nothing in Jim's pot. He just knew he had killed his seed. Everyone else had trees and tall plants, but he had nothing. Jim didn't say anything to his colleagues, however, he just kept watering and fertilizing the soil - He so wanted the seed to grow.

A year finally went by and all the young executives of the company brought their plants to the CEO for inspection.

Jim told his wife that he wasn't going to take an empty pot.  But she asked him to be honest about what happened.  Jim felt sick to his stomach, it was going to be the most embarrassing moment of his life, but he knew his wife was right. He took his empty pot to the board room.  When Jim arrived, he was amazed at the variety of plants grown by the other executives.  They were beautiful -- in all shapes and sizes.  Jim put his empty pot on the floor and many of his colleagues laughed, a few felt sorry for him!

When the CEO arrived, he surveyed the room and greeted his young executives.

Jim just tried to hide in the back. "My, what great plants, trees and flowers you have grown," said the CEO.  "Today one of you will be appointed the next CEO!"

All of a sudden, the CEO spotted Jim at the back of the room with his empty pot.  He ordered the Financial Director to bring him to the front.  Jim was terrified.  He thought, "The CEO knows I'm a failure! Maybe he will have me fired!"

When Jim got to the front, the CEO asked him what had happened to his seed - Jim told him the story.

The CEO asked everyone to sit down except Jim.  He looked at Jim, and then announced to the young executives, "Behold your next Chief Executive Officer! His name is Jim!"  Jim couldn't believe it; he couldn't even grow his seed.

"How could HE be the new CEO?" the others said.

Then the CEO said, "One year ago today, I gave everyone in this room a seed.  I told you to take the seed, plant it, water it, and bring it back to me today.  But I gave you all boiled seeds; they were dead - it was not possible for them to grow.

All of you, except Jim, have brought me trees and plants and flowers.  When you found that the seed would not grow, you substituted another seed for the one I gave you.  Jim was the only one with the courage and honesty to bring me a pot with my seed in it.  Therefore, he is the one who will be the new Chief Executive Officer!"

What thoughts first come to mind are having integrity, humility, perseverance, & honesty  … then, the more I think about it, I feel a sense of having the courage to believe, especially when you are not seeing the rewards (new sprouting life coming from the seed that you have planted).


“Be grateful, look at all that IS arriving …
divine timing, rather than notice what is
not yet here … enjoy right now, breathe,
be thankful … you are just right and
perfect as is!! … savor, slow down …
in joy … count your blessings baby! 
Sigh … repeat …. “            ~ Joan, WA


What are your thoughts or ah-has?  I encourage you to comment below ....
~ Love, Karin

So a dear heart, Joan, and I ... well you know how it is, when one stops by for a pick up or to drop something off ... there you are standing outside in a parking lot, and you remember something that you wanted to share ... or you're excited about 
something incredible that showed up, tangible or .... not!  It's always exciting and invigorating .... so we're always swapping information and stories about .... "stuff" ... and before you realize any time has passed, the clock has fast forwarded an 
hour .... or two.

So recently, Joan was telling me about something that she had just read ... I was all ears ... She said she had received a newsletter via email and it contained instructions .... three simple words .... 
            
            "Do ... It .... Wrong" 

Well I immediately clasped my hands over my open mouth ... eyes wide open!  I asked her, very quietly, to make sure no one overheard me, "Do It Wrong??  Are you sure?  But ... what will happen?"

What will happen?  My first thoughts were .....
        
        imperfection
        repercussions
        taking extra time to fix it
        what will others think
        
Well ... then we began giggling, covering our mouths, which then turned into full belly laughs ... as we stood outside in a parking lot, heads tilted back roaring with laughter.   

This was a brand new concept ... one that neither one of us had learned ... but realizing that we could really have some fun with this ... 
        
Whose belief is right or wrong?

Could we venture beyond our perceptions?
    
Might we learn a lesson not otherwise conquered?
    
What if we dared to think beyond limitations?
    
Why not?

So, imagine for a moment, if you will, what comes up for you when I ask you to "do it wrong".  Yeahhhh ... post a comment, why don'cha. 

Lemon (Citrus) is a miraculous product to kill cancer cells.  It is 10,000 times stronger than chemotherapy.  Why do we not know about that?

The lemon is credited with many virtues, but the most interesting is the effect it produces on cysts and tumors.  This plant is a proven remedy against cancers of all types.  Some say it is very useful in all variants of cancer.  It is considered also as an anti microbial spectrum against bacterial infections and fungi, effective against internal parasites and worms, it regulates blood pressure that is too high and is an antidepressant, combats stress and nervous disorders.

Let's get the word out to as many people as we can.  If you can, plant a lemon tree in your garden or patio.  As you know, the lemon tree does not occupy much space and is known for its varieties of lemons and limes. 

The source of this information is fascinating: it comes from one of the largest drug manufacturers in the world, says that after more than 20 laboratory tests since 1970, the extracts revealed that:
It destroys the malignant cells in 12 types of cancer, including colon, breast, prostate, lung and pancreas ...The compounds of this tree actually showed 10,000 times better than the product Adriamycin, a drug normally used chemotherapeutic in the world, slowing the growth of cancer cells.  And what is even more astonishing: this type of therapy with lemon extract not only destroys malignant cancer cells and does not affect healthy cells.
