Hugging Is

An article out of 'chicken soup for the soul'

Hugging is healthy. It helps the immune system, cures depression, reduces stress and induces sleep. It's invigorating, rejuvenating and has no unpleasant side effects. Hugging is nothing less than a miracle drug.

Hugging is all natural. It is organic, naturally sweet, no artificial ingredients, nonpolluting, environmentally friendly and 100 percent wholesome.

Huggin is the ideal gift. Great for any occasion, fun to give and recieve, shows you care, comes with its own wrapping and, of course, fully returnable.

Hugging is practically perfect. No batteries to wear out, inflation-proof, non-fattening' no monthly payments, theft-proof and nontaxable.

Hugging is an underutilized resource with magical powers. When we open our hearts and arms, we encourage others to do the same.

Think of the people in your life. Are there any words you'd like to say? Are there any hugs you want to share? Are you waiting and hoping someone else will ask first? Please don't wait! Initiate!

Let it go

Enjoy!!

Let it go ...by T. D. Jakes

There are people who can walk away from you.
And hear me when I tell you this!
When people can walk away from you: let them walk.


I don't want you to try to talk another person into staying with you,
loving you, calling you, caring about you, coming to see you,
staying attached to you.
I mean hang up the phone.


When people can walk away from you let them walk.
Your destiny is never tied to anybody that left.

People leave you because they are not joined to you.
And if they are not joined to you,
you can't make them stay.
Let them go.


And it doesn't mean that they are a bad person,
it just means that their part in the story is over.
And you've got to know when people's
part in your story is over so that you
don't keep trying to raise the dead


You've got to know when it's dead.
You've got to know when it's over.
Let me tell you something.
I've got the gift of good-bye.
It's the tenth spiritual gift,
I believe in good-bye.


It's not that I'm hateful, it's that I'm faithful,
and I know whatever God means for me to have
He'll give it to me
And if it takes too much sweat I don't need it.
Stop begging people to stay.
Let them go!!


If you are holding on to something
that doesn't belong to you and was never intended for your life,
then you need to...LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to past hurts and pains ...
LET IT GO!!!

If someone can't treat you right, love you back, and see your worth...
LET IT GO!!!

If someone has angered you ...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to some thoughts of evil and revenge...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are involved in a wrong relationship or addiction ...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are holding on to a job that no longer meets your needs or
talents...
LET IT GO!!!

If you have a bad attitude...
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep judging others to make yourself feel better...
LET IT GO!!!

If you're stuck in the past and God is trying to take you to a new
level in Him...
LET IT GO!!!

If you are struggling with the healing of a broken relationship....
LET IT GO!!!

If you keep trying to help someone who won't even try to help
themselves...
LET IT GO!!!

If you're feeling depressed and stressed ...
LET IT GO!!!

If there is a particular situation that you are so used to handling
yourself and God is saying "take your hands off of it," then you need to...
LET IT GO!!!

Let the past be the past.
Forget the former things.
GOD is doing a new thing for you!!!
LET IT GO!!!

Get Right or Get Left... think about it, and then
LET IT GO!!!


"The Battle is the Lord's!"

During the next 60 seconds, Stop whatever you are doing, and take this
opportunity. (Literally it is only One minute!) All you have to do is the
following: You simply say "The Lords Prayer" for the person that sent you this message:
The Lords Prayer

Our Father,
who art in Heaven,
Hallowed be Thy Name,
Thy Kingdom Come,
Thy Will be done,
on Earth as it is in Heaven.
Give us this day,
our daily bread
and forgive us our trespasses
as we forgive those who trespass against us.
And lead us not into temptation
but deliver us from evil.
For Thine is the Kingdom,
and the Power,
and the Glory,
forever.

Amen.

Our Deepest Fear

"Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate.

Our deepest fear is that we are powerful, beyond measure.

We ask ourselves, who am i to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented and fabulous.

Actually, who are you not to be.

Your playing small doesn't serve the world.

We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us.

And as we let our own light shine, we unconsiously give other people permission to do the same."

~ quote from Akeelah and the Bee

i'v decided what this blog is going to be about now. i wouldn't say i'm much of a writer, i leave that to my twin, i've read some really awesome blogs from people and what i thot i would do is bring all the little pieces of advise and 'life's lessons'(as the blog is appropriately named) that i encounter in this journey we call life...

comments and further discussion on any topics are most welcome.

"How Can Anyone be Afraid of love" - from Devil May Cry by Sherrilyn Kenyon

"How can they not? When you love someone...truly love them, friend or lover, you lay your heart open to them. you give them a part of yourself that you give to no one else, and you let them inside a part of you that only they can hurt you - you literally hand them a razor with a map of where to cut deepest and most painfully on your heart and soul.

And when they do strike, its crippling - like having your heart carved out. it leaves you naked and exposed, wondering what you did to make them want to hurt you so badly when all you did was love them. ...to have it happen once is bad enough, but to have it repeated? Who in their right mind would not be terrified of that?" - Acheron

this is a paragraph out of a book i just finished reading which touched me. those few short lines basically summarised the whole torment of falling in and out of love. i just hope that it brings some insight to my readers.

i also hope that this is a good first blog, yup i said it i'm a newbie at this. it would be great to have some feedback from my readers if you could spare a moment
