What Happens Next???

Spiritual or Religious… regardless of which you choose to label yourself as, it is interesting to engage yourself in the conversation regarding the great debate…”Why are we here.” The following interview asks us to think about what happens next. If you are a 2012 speculator or if you have ever asked yourself about what events are currently showing up regarding the book of Revelations.

The following interview is well worth your time to listen to. Lynne does an excellent job exploring the possibilities of our future in a way that allows the listener to decide for themselves.
Ask yourself the following: What is it that I believe? What will happen next? Are my current beliefs serving me? Can WE solve the current economic issues? Can WE come together globally? Is Peace Possible…and do WE have it now?

Love to hear your thoughts and answers to the above questions.. let’s start a conversation!

More show info: Lynne Hazelden of Peace in OUR Lifetime interviews author BENJAMIN CREME. A British artist, futurist, and long-time student of the Ageless Wisdom Teachings, has become the principal source of information about the emergence of Maitreya, the World Teacher. He has written 14 books to share his message. Editor of Share International magazine read in over 70 countries. Saying THE TIME OF CHANGE HAS COME! Judging from outer appearances, the world situation today seems dire. The global economy is teetering on the brink of collapse, the damage we’ve caused to the environment is so severe it may be irreversible within 10-15 years, pollution of all kinds has become a major cause of illness and death, and corruption is rampant in all our institutions – from corporations to government to churches. These developments were predicted twenty years ago by Maitreya, the World Teacher. Yet he also foresaw that we would pull back from the brink of disaster just in time, change our ways, and save ourselves from destruction. The time of change has come. Fortunately, we are not alone as we face these challenges. As in ages past when humanity had reached a point of crisis, a great teacher has come to bring the wisdom needed to help us solve our problems and evolve to a higher level of consciousness. According to British author Benjamin Creme, the teacher for this age is Maitreya, and he has already begun his public work. With his inspiration, we will create a civilization beyond anything the world has known. Mr. Creme will tell your listeners: • What the Teacher will advise us to do • What lessons humanity must learn now to survive • Why today’s problems cannot be solved by war • What life will be like if we choose peace and justice BENJAMIN CREME ~ “Excellent guest – thought-provoking subject. Great caller response.” –Paul Gonzalez, United Broadcasting

Reflection, Gratitude & WE

Isn’t it funny how we find the things that annoy us in others, is usually the thing that bothers us about ourselves. I mean when we really get honest with ourselves about it. You know that saying ‘when you point a finger at someone else you have three pointing back at you?’ Well if that is the case then why does it feel easier to just place the blame back on the other person?

From my experience, it is… the first time. But what happens is the next time, is the universe patiently collects all of the leaning and dumps it back on us, until we finally accept the teaching and learn what it is that the lesson is trying to teach. Playing this proverbial game of “Tackle Tag,” can sometimes be a painful experience because of the collateral damage that WE create while trying to understand the lesson.

Every week I have the opportunity to attend ‘Vehicle University.’ I decided to start calling it that so I could look at the same drive as an opportunity to learn and grow rather than the same old trip on the same boring road. This week while in university, I had the pleasure of listening to, “’Complaint Free Relationships: How to Positively Transform Your Personal, Work, and Love Relationships” by Will Bowen

“For those who think complaining feels good and gets them results, the documented research proves it doesn’t help at all. It’s a form of self-deception to think complaining changes anyone. It not only hurts others, it also hurts the complainer. It simply doesn’t work. “

I found it rather interesting to hear about Relationships from his prospective . By being Whole, Healthy and Complete ourselves, we can take 100% personal responsibility for the relationship outcome … instead of things being 50 / 50 it is each others accountability to take 100% personal responsibility to the success or failure of the relationship. That is without blame, judgment or accusations.

“Remember, if you are criticizing, you are not being grateful. If you are blaming, you are not being grateful. If you are complaining, you are not being grateful. If you are feeling tension, you are not being grateful. If you are rushing, you are not being grateful. If you are in a bad mood, you are not being grateful.

Gratitude can transform your life. Are you allowing minor things to get in the way of your transformation and the life you deserve? “ Rhonda Byrne

From my own experience, every time I resent, or complain about the way another person is BEing, it is like taking out the trash, but first attaching a bungee cord to it… so before I can even turn around, I find myself covered by a huge bag of hurling garbage that ricocheted back at me. And most of times, it is with the very same words that I tossed out to begin with.

So, how do we solve the issue of reflection? Well it can surely be solved with the very thing that secures the foundation of every relationship and business transaction. That is, INTEGRITY.

Integrity can be simply defined by, ‘Doing what YOU say that YOU are going to do, when YOU say YOU are going to do it!’ So, if YOU say that YOU are going to do something… do it, follow through and do it by when YOU said that YOU would DO it.

It seems too simple, however, that is it. BE who you say that you are, DO what you say that you are going to do. If you say that you are a person that can be counted on, then BE reliable. If you say that you are trustworthy, then BE honest. If you say that you are a kind person, then BE a kind person. If you make a commitment… keep it.

I know what you are thinking… that is, Marcia… but what if something comes up? What if I can’t keep the commitment? Well that is simple as well, if you are not able to do what you said that you would, come clean; first with yourself, then with the other party.

In the past, I have done a great job of making it appear like the reason I could not keep a commitment is because of another person. Perhaps the way that they were BEing was a great scapegoat as to why I did not want to carry on in our interaction. They were too pushy, to controlling, to arrogant or whatever. So I would make the reason their fault… so that I would not have to take responsibility for my part in it. I would just blame them… or someone else… just as long as I was not responsible. (That sounds horrible as I read it back… but, it was true.)

Ever since I have been able to take 100% responsibility for my BEing, my life has gone soooooooooo much smoother. You know the saying, “It’s not YOU it is me…?” Well, it really is me. I am the one who decides what I do, when I do it and to what extent I do things. Before I did things for people mostly out of guilt….now I do things because I want to! When I decide to not do something, I don’t judge myself or feel bad… So, if I say that I am going to do something now, I do it! If something comes up, I come clean and let the other party know… rather than projecting my junk on them. I own my part and WE both carry on.

In all that I do, I remember that everything that I do or don’t do, has a ripple effect… a result and an outcome… so with that knowing, I do my best to make my decisions from an educated perspective.. allowing me to act..rather than re-act!

Humbly Yours,

Marcia

P.S. I am simply a student in life…who sometimes slips into the roll of teacher..so that I am able to really understand the lessons life is freely providing me.

Worlds Biggest Truck to be REPLACED!

After several years of debate Sparwood Town Council voted unanimously that instead of using some of the towns surplus monies on installation of a new town water park, they would be replacing the Titian instead so that Sparwood could truly have the World's Biggest Truck.

It has been many years since our beloved Titian Truck has welcomed visitors from around the globe to our wonderful community of Sparwood BC, however, due to stacks of letters and countless emails, the town council voted this morning that it was time for a change. Even though the Titian is the world’s largest double axel truck, they have decided to replace it with the true contender. The T 282 B from Liebherr will the mamoth to replace the Titian. It has a 2723-kilowatt diesel engine which powers two electric motors, making the T 282 B the biggest AC drive truck in the world.

“Every time I drive past the sign ‘World’s Largest’ truck I get mad because I know that it is not. I see bigger one’s at work every day.” Brad Johnson, owner of Apex Power & Automation.

Bobby Hutchinson, Amazing Author & owner of the Blue Collar B&B said, “It is about time, I am tired of explaining to guests that it is the world’s largest 'double axel truck'.”

Removal of the Titian is expected to take place once they find a tow truck big enough to remove it. The chamber is currently hosting a silent auction if you are interest in purchasing the Titian for a lawn ornament. Instillation of the World’s Largest Truck is expected to be complete by next April 1st, 2011. If you would like to comment on the council’s vote, feel free to email April at Joking@april1.com

~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~

Hehehehehe... I sent this out to all of the members of the Elk Valley BC Facebook group this morning... the sad thing is... everyone believed it was true!! I love where I live.. and think that sharing all of the amazing things that people are doing in the valley, helps inspire people to keep making a difference... because it really does change lives... No Matter how BIG or how small ... what YOU do Matters... YOU Matter!

I Love the Valley... Check out my perspective to see why!

A little Follow up on above...

Public Service Announcement!

The Titian is not being moved.... sold... or replaced.

The email that came out earlier today was ... you guessed it, an April Fools Joke!

We only had 1 person complain about this little tease. 1 person from the Chamber ...because she was concerned about an overload of phone calls. I gave her my number and told her to pass any concerns on to myself and I would apologize for any inconvenience that I had caused.

I forwarded her concerns to the Mayor and double checked with him to make sure that they never had any calls either .... turns out Everyone in the Elk Valley Group, does read to the end... well done my friends!

I LOVE the Valley and now even more... because of the wonderful sense of humor everyone here has.... the Olympic comity has nothing on us..

Thanks everyone for playing along!

Humbly Yours,
Marcia

Why are WE here?

The Great Conversation ... the on going discussion between the Intelligencia and the world class have about "What is Life.."

So... What is life and why are we here? My thoughts about this run deep but simply put.... Our lives are made up of cycles of learning… our purpose of life is to Learn…and to learn to recognize the cycles and patterns that roadblock our JOY and Happiness. As an added bonus to our friendship, I AM here to hold the vision of you that I know that you can become…that you are! I see you standing tall and proud as we reflect on the journeys that we have taken to get to where we are.

YOU are the leader of your own life... the Captain of your own ship and the Director of your own production. The has been a silent awakening of the human race that is taken place for many years but is now becoming main stream and becoming the foreground of many conversations. Movies are being released with the main theme all about connectivity and how everything that we matters... our actions creating a ripple effect that touches people we see and those that we do not.

Groups around the globe are forming with like minded thinkers meditation on creating solutions and then taking action to create change. People are standing united in Peace, Love and Unity even in war zones. Humanity is shifting to one that thinks about the end results rather than simply acting without thinking. Even corporations are engaging in conversations on how they may join in this "Global Evolution."

Every day I have the opportunity to speak to people from around the planet about this amazing phenomenon. Even though you may not currently have this perspective in your focus... I promise you, people around the world are making a difference. People are helping each other, giving freely and building others up!

Through these simple acts of kindness, people are being inspired to elevate others rather than tear people apart. One such amazing earth angel is my great friend Lynne Hazelden. She is my partner in Peace from the UK... even though we have yet to meet face to face, she inspires me with her unlimited courage to make a real difference in shining a light on Peace. The real Peace that we do currently have in the world. For over 20 years she has dedicated her life to highlighting others efforts for Peace on Earth. What most people don't realize is that she has turned her dream into reality despite having a debilitating disease, no job and even less than limited resources. Without asking anything in return, Peace In OUR Lifetime gives YOU a Free Peace Certificate when YOU decide to consciously Stand for Peace. Http://www.peaceinourlifetime.org Lynne has every reason in the world to be bitter, mad and ticked off with her lot in life, from once being on the BIG Screen to living a life of limited financial resources, she chooses to let her divine spirit shine! If you have not done so yet, take a moment to watch her on Peace Day... http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Uj5Q0F8EktI

I ask YOU, what is holding you back? Recently on Planting Seeds for Peace Radio, I was honored to interview Paul Harris. Paul was burnt on over 85% of his body with third degree burns ... but even with that, he is most grateful to be alive. He is another Earth Angel, here to inspire us to embrace our greatness. http://www.blogtalkradio.com/plantingseedsforpeace/2010/02/24/inspired-by-you-with-special-guest-paul-harris

So, what is OUR Human Potential? Why are we really here? If we are here on earth to discover our joy, why can we not also make a real effort to highlight all of the good within all of us ... because we do have it! Together WE can make a difference. Lets Celebrate the good that we do have and create solutions from there!

I Love YOU!
Humbly Yours,
Marcia

TEN....

The number 10 shows up everywhere in my life…
Every time I look at the clock, in my kids names (Colten, Keyten, Kyrsten, & Kenten ...even my bonus kids have the number ten in their birthday), and so many other places it just blows me away… that is why I am so very ecstatic to be listed as the 10th free gift on a very special thing that I will tell you about on Tuesday it was truly divine placement! I believe it is my angels telling me that I am right on track every time they point it out to me.

I don't look at the clock often... but when I glance up while typing...10.. or happen to look over at the stero while I am driving ...10... everytime I unconciously check the time..it is TEN minutes after the hour! This happens so very often and to quietly agnolige it, I have started to tap on the clock when 10 happens... (also to be conciously aware of it.)

This number implies completeness of order, nothing lacking and nothing over. TEN signifies that the cycle is complete and that everything is in its proper order. 10 represents the perfection of divine order. For Pythagoras, 10 was the symbol of the universe and it also expressed the whole of human knowledge.

"There are no more maps, no more creeds, no more philosophies. From here on in, the directions come straight from the Divine. The curriculum is being revealed millisecond by millisecond - invisibly, intuitively, spontaneously, lovingly."
- Akshara Noor

With the amount of times the number 10 pops up for me... there is no doubt in my mind, that this year...2010, will be one to be remembered for the amazing things that we will accomplish together!

Humbly Yours,

Marcia

P>S> my kids were named that way as a quiet tribute to my father… this number always followed him throughout his life as well, so I named my kids that way to silently honor his time on earth.
