Creativity Retreats - Permission Granted the book

I believe this is what Eckhart Tolle meant about 

living in the present moment, but also allowing yourself to live in gratitude and joy for the moment...

tapping into your authentic self - Permission Granted

book series...

nothing just happens...when things occur, that we perceive to have done without effort, we are in alignment with our higher selves.

An artist, including myself, will tell you that after creating a piece of art, we often in our 'thinking mind' wonder exactly how we did the painting . There are so many different ways to approach the subconscious and the more personal the 'method' is for you, the greater repeatable personal success you have.

Think of the way people give advice on interpreting someone else's dream...it's like someone giving a synopsis of a movie they never saw. There are parts to the equation that are universal, but most of the experience is given to us in a language 'we can understand' by symbols we carry with us from our childhood and before. And while these symbols are helpful in the beginning, we have to get past their limitations to have our full experience.                                         ©2015 J. R. Baldini
      

    

Monhegan postal service is more than mail, islanders say

Monhegan postal service is more than mail, islanders say



The Monhegan Post Office is a vital part of the community, as a post office would be on any island.

While the USPS says it is not cutting back on delivery, only retail hours, the difference it makes could be a huge impact for the island.

As you can imagine, sustainability on any small island is hard for its year round residents, cutting back a vital job in a small island community, where residents pay much more for all their services, like electricity, could eventually compromise the ability of the postmaster to continue living on an island that can not provide him/her with full time employment. There is no option for this person to supplement  with part time employment. Going off island for something as simple as a dental appointment, takes much of a full day .

What's the answer ? Is it really that big of an impact on the USPS to cut back hours on one person to save money ?

It certainly is a big money impact by the USPS on that one person.
