Shared Perspectives / Deliberate Creations

To all my beautiful sisters

Hi again. Eve here.
I want to share a few thoughts with you. Over the past four months or so I stopped watching the news. I found the News to be even more than just depressing. The News generally paints a picture of a sad and fearful world. A world filled with misery, loneliness, disease, disaster and, fear fear fear! It paints a picture of a world without hope, without the strength of the human spirit. All in all, the News is the stuff nightmares are made of. It takes our vision away from abundance, away from love, away from who we truly are. Instead, it sets our focus only on what appears to be the way it is, and prevents us from seeing what it really is and what it can be. Generally, without being aware, we give the negative more strength by dwelling on the stories that come into our living rooms from the 6:00 o'clock News. I suppose the News has become our sharing circle, our story time. Instead of sitting around the fire listening to the elders recalling a story from long ago, we simply sprawl out on the couch and watch the Global News. Instead of sitting around a warm hearth and listening to grandma read "Never Cry Wolf," with the touch of a finger tip we flick on CTV or some other favorite News station. There we sit, captivated by all the atrocities happening amongst us. How often do we hear. "Did you hear about the shooting, or stabbing in Vancouver, the purse snatching, the local arsonist,the theft at the 711 and so on.

How often do we have the pleasure of hearing SOMETHING GOOD? SOMETHING WONDERFUL. SOMETHING GREAT and INSPIRING? Well, I'd really love to create something just like that. I invite you to write me a true story of something beautiful that you witnessed. I would love to hear heartwarming stories that show the human spirit for the splendid wonderful light it truly is. It would be my great honour to compile these stories and send them out to all my sisters once a month. I want to call these stories "THE FEEL GOOD NEWS. This News will offer current true stories, true stories of days gone by, and stories that inspire and heal. The FEEL GOOD NEWS will also offer uplifting poems, songs, healthy recepies, and invitations to special functions. AS well, "The FEEL GOOD NEWS will provide us with another way to communicate how much we love each other and our world. Within these pages we can discuss the everyday miracles within our lives.

Perhaps you have a story about a vision that has come to pass, or a dream that has become reality. Perhaps you understand the art of Deliberate Creation and you have witnessed this creation grow wings and fly. Perhaps you have observed your thoughts, watched them gain strength and momentum, watched as these thoughts were transformed from internal energy into external/energy - motion, action and then Vola! Your creation became REALITY! The FEEL GOOD NEWS is a great place to share these stories.

I too will participate, for I too have many stories to tell. For now, I challenge you to stay away from the NEWS, instead, be aware of your world, inside and out. Look for the good, the miracles that fall upon us like rain. Each time you think of turning on the TV and watching the NEWS, plant something instead. Collect your own stories, post them on Shared Prospectives and I promise to compile these for our Feel Good News.
Have a great evening filled with love and laughter.
Your Sister EVE

Hi there “Sisters of Affirmative Ascension and to all other beautiful wise women visiting.

I plan on uploading a picture of myself as soon as I buy myself a new camara. My latest camera fell into the Okanagan Lake and did not survive the plunge. Perhaps I’ll buy the kind that enjoys a swim once in a while. Anyway, let me begin to introduce myself and give you a bit of info regarding “Shared Perspectives.”

My full name is Eveline. My family and friends call me Eve. Therefore, please do call me Eve. I have four beautiful and intelligent children who are now fully grown. I am also the proud grandmother of five fantastic grand kids.
I am a Life Coach and Grief Counselor with a BA in Science of Psychology. Currently, I am in the process of getting my Website and business of the ground while working on my Masters in Psych.

I am really excited about creating my business which by the way is called “Affirmative Ascension.” This business offers services to women by women. You can check it out at affirmativeascension.com

NOW, I invite you along on my journey, and I invite you to share your journey as well. “Shared Perspectives” is for wise women of all ages. It is my hope that “Together we can share the joys and challenges of the female heart.” I look forward to sharing our perspectives by examining and responding to questions and ongoing topics that will be posted weekly.

I am happy to share my new beginning with those sisters who belief in never-ending possibilities. Here I will share my ups and downs as I walk along this new path which I am creating for myself right now. Thanks for joining me. Here is my first big challenge. This may not seem large to you, but it has stopped me from moving ahead for years.

The most challenging thing for me about starting a business is computers. I have really just discovered how to navigate my way around the Internet somewhat, and now I have my own Website. There is so much to learn, so much to know. When I realized, that I can reach so many more people through the creation of a Website, I felt excitement. This excitement then turned into intimidation, and again, I procrastinated about my business, and my Website.

Finally I asked the Universe to bring someone into my life that could help me accomplish this piece, this particular step. Wouldn’t you know it? The Universe answered. A wonderful young man helped me set up my Website, and as he did so, he gave me many valuable lessons and advice about computers and my Website. For this I am very grateful. Every bit of help moved me forward toward the creation of my vision.



The topics for September 15th – 25th are;

Question #1.“What is the Difference between Hope and Expectation?”

Question #2. “How does your understanding of this difference, influence your work/career/relationships?

Every 4th Sunday I will post new topics for discussion, at which time I will also add my point of view.
If there are topics or concerns you want to raise and/or discuss, please just leave me a note or suggestion.

I am looking forward to the growth of “Shared Perspectives,” as well as your point of view and insights.

Have a great DAY.

Eve

Be the love you seek!

First of all, to address the questions above I decided to look up the definition for Hope and Expectation.
As one would suspect, the definitions are very similar according to most dictionaries. Lets look at it more closely anyway.

Hope: Wish or a desire : to want or expect something, to have a wish to get or do something, or for something to happen or be “TRUE” Example-My hope is that she will change her mind.

(Hopes) Plural: – Confident desires, a feeling or feelings that something desirable is “LIKELY” to happen.
Example- The research offers Hope to sufferers.

Likelihood of Success: a chance that something desirable will happen or be possible.
Example- There is not much hope that things will improve.
(Kind of negative eh?) Did you ever notice that Dictionaries often offer negative examples?

Source of success or relief: somebody or something that seems likely to bring success or relief
Example- We “HAVE” to do this, it’s our “ONLY” hope. (Placing our trust in somebody or something outside ourselves that will hopefully, most likely make things better. TRUST: a feeling of trust.

Expectation

Anticipation of something happening: a confident “BELIEF” or strong HOPE that a particular event will happen.

Notion of something: A “MENTAL IMAGE of something EXPECTED, often compared to its “REALITY”
Example-All our expectations of a quiet evening at home were dashed by the arrival of guests. (Here we go again, another negative example.) Well I don’t like it, so let us fix it. Shall we?) This magical holiday far surpassed our wildest expectations.

Happy ponderings. I too will add my insights to the two questions above. In the meantime I really look forward to your response.

Who will be the first to bless us with their presence? What is her name? Who is the first Female Warrior to venture into the heart of "Shared Perspectives?
