Thanks to the kindness of one woman, thousands of kids at homeless shelters in NYC will experience more cheer this Christmas.

Every year, Carol Suchman makes an effort to purchase toys and donate them to homeless children during the holiday season. This year, however, she’s outdone herself by purchasing an entire toy store and donating its contents to thousands of homeless children in New York.

As NY1 News reports, Suchman was walking past the Hudson Party Store in her West Village neighborhood when she noticed a ‘Going Out of Business’ sign in its window. Intrigued by the idea of making Christmas a bit grander for thousands of kids this year, she contacted the store owner.

“Agrochemical giant Monsanto knowingly contaminated Oakland’s storm water and the San Francisco Bay with a highly toxic chemical for decades, a new lawsuit filed by the California city claims. Oakland wants the company to pay for the environmental cleanup.” [source]

Municipalities in the U.S. are fed-up with Monsanto’s corrupt tactics — and they’re hitting the corporation where it hurts: their pocketbook. Oakland California, the latest city to sue the biotech colossus, has filed a lawsuit seeking retribution for damages caused by harmful polychlorinated biphenyl (PCB) contamination.

In a press release by the city last Tuesday, The State Water Resources Control Board found that PCBs present in Oakland’s storm water is a threat to the entire San Fransisco Bay’s ecosystem.

As the energies on earth are rising to new heights, their polarities are creating more tension than ever before. Frustration, anger, conflicts and crises are being evoked during today’s Full Moon in Gemini, and it will be wise to practice techniques to stay centered and grounded, and not be pulled into opposition.

While these energies may feel unusually intense, they only flow in opposing directions to allow a higher consciousness to be experienced and felt. In our dualistic reality, this is how consciousness experiences itself, through our experience of duality. And right now, the collective evolution of humanity and the planet itself is moving into even higher frequencies, pushing and pulling us to extremes we have never experienced before, and inviting us to experience the polarities of heightened chaos and clarity all at once. Navigating the energy of this Full Moon requires clarity, focus and flexibility.

One of the most difficult things for human beings to remember is to ask for our help.

Some of you don’t want to bother us. Others have trouble actually asking for assistance of any kind. Some feel like they may take away from others by asking for our help. And some think we are probably too busy to care about your trivial concerns.

Dear Ones, hear us when we say that it is our greatest honour and pleasure to assist you! We are always here, always ready to help. There is no request too big or small. We are multi-dimensional beings, meaning we are a vast energy that can assist many at the same time, so you are never taking away from another by asking for our help.

You must understand that you are superstars to us! You are the brave and courageous ones – the ground crew – that is driving the Shift on your planet. We are honoured to be able to assist you! But as always, please remember the act of asking is required as your free will is paramount. A simple, heartfelt request with your inner voice is all that is required to activate the team that wants nothing more than to lovingly support you in all ways. ~Archangel Gabriel

God said:

What is important to you simply may not be important to someone else. What is important to someone else may simply not be important to you. This is what life in the world seems to be about -- all these contrasts and even contradictions.

Someone loves fishing. You may not be someone who would like to put a worm on a hook, nor would you take joy in catching a fish. Who is to say you must or must not like worms or fishing?

Someone else grows a moustache, and you would never grow a moustache, yet, if you were alone on a deserted island, by default, you would grow a moustache and a beard to boot. You never know.

Something may matter a lot to someone else but not to you. He has his life, and you have yours.

Let it be glorious that everyone who has Oneness with Me – and that is everyone -- can make all kinds of different choices in the world. Let it be glorious that there are enough choices for everyone around the world to make. Silly, you are not authorized to put a friend on the carpet because his life choices do not agree with yours.

Let it be glorious that there are different ways of thinking and liking or not liking, preferring or not preferring a myriad of colors, for instance, and a myriad of sports and a myriad of minds and a myriad of books and myriad cups of tea. Let Us applaud that there are many right ways to make a cup of coffee, and you are free to brew coffee as you like, and so is another free.

A study conducted by a Harvard affiliated team out of Massachusetts General Hospital (MGH) came across surprising conclusions regarding the tangible effects of meditation on human brain structure. An 8 week program of mindfulness meditation produced MRI scans for the first time showing clear evidence that meditation produces “massive changes” in brain gray matter.

Study senior author Sara Lazar of the MGH Psychiatric Neuroimaging Research Program (as well as a Harvard Medical School instructor in psychology) stated that meditation practitioners aren’t just feeling better. They are literally undergoing changes in brain structure that create the associated sustained boosts in positive and relaxed feelings.

Fellow MGH researcher Sue McGreevey notes that previous studies by Lazar’s group found structural differences in the brains of meditation practitioners compared to those with no prior experience most notably in the thickening of the cerebral cortex; the area responsible for attention and emotional integration. These prior studies, however could not narrow down the structural differences to meditation specifically until now.

To the Empath being in harmony with people in life is essential to their health and wellbeing. Toxic friendships can cause untold pain and damage to the Sensitive one.

If there are people in your life who cause you any kind of emotional pain, which lasts long after you’ve left them, it may be time to evaluate the relationship and perhaps release them for your life.

Before we can really help or be of service to others we have to find balance within and that means taking care of our physical and mental needs and stop exposing ourselves to that which is toxic, in the form of food, substances and people.

Most Empaths will have at least one toxic person in their life that can cause a wave of intense, negative emotions to rain down, just by being in their presence...

Contrary to popular belief, intermittent fasting is not an extreme or dangerous form of “dieting.” It’s actually  a very healthy practice that’s loaded with a number health benefits. What kind of health benefits? Everything from reducing risks that are associated with obesity, reversing diabetes, to possibly assisting in killing cancer and more.

What Is Intermittent Fasting?

Intermittent fasting is about timing your meals to allow for regular periods of fasting. Recommendations for allocating time throughout your day to go without food range from approximately 12 to 16 hours. This would mean, for example, only eating between the hours of 11 am and 7 pm, and doing so everyday. There are other ways to do it and we will get to that later in the article.
