“Gratitude unlocks the fullness of life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend.” ~ Melody Beattie

Who wouldn’t want to find the key to living a better life? It does not take money or tremendous effort to accomplish that goal. The truth is that attracting abundance to our lives is much simpler than we think. It is all based on t...

The writing is on the wall for humanity it seems. Unchecked growth, population expansion, unsustainable practices and complete abuse of our environment could be what does us in; or at least according to a new study by researchers from the University of Maryland and University of Minnesota.

It’s happened to countless civilizations before us. The Roman empire, the Han, Gupta, and Mauryan empires too. Researchers warn of the potential for utter destruction of our global economy if we continue working with the same systems ...

It only gets weirder by the day. As the engineered ebola scare rolls out and ISIS supposedly closes in, the US and NATO are slipping into Syria as if no one is looking. Meanwhile, insane Israel is openly planning another Gaza massacre while the Ukrainian genocide continues.  If that’s not enough, the economy is on the verge of collapsing, our food, air and water continue to be poisoned, our oceans and atmosphere are dying, communities are being fracked, and Fukushima continues to erupt while the massive Yellowstone caldera threatens to.

Talk about engineered overload!

Most people’s heads are spinning wildly and they’re trying to not think about this assault on their minds, hearts and senses. This is just the environment the manipulators want – an overloaded, stunned and compliant populace, ready to be swayed like limp seaweed in the tide of their polluted propaganda...

Acceptance is an essential practice that allows you to receive the many gifts the universe has for you. You can practice manifestation techniques and visualization brilliantly, but the final, most important step, is to be in open state of acceptance so the universe can deliver to you. So many of you are only comfortable when you are giving! Such tender and loving souls you are, but we urge you to practice receiving, too. To do so is to allow the universe to work through others, and to let them experience the joy of giving, as well. ~Archangel Gabriel

Do you think knowing your blood type is only important in the event of a transfusion?

Think again!

Research indicates that your blood type is a key genetic factor that influences many areas of health and well-being.

Throughout your life, you’ve probably observed that some people tend to lose weight more easily, while for others, their weight is an ongoing battle. Or wondered why some people are plagued by chronic illness while others stay healthy and vital well into their advanced years. Very simply, the answer is in your blood type.

Knowing your blood type is an important tool for understanding how your body reacts to food, your susceptibility to disease, your natural reaction to stress, and so much more. A single drop of blood contains a biochemical makeup as unique to you as yo...

...The more you use your intuition the better it becomes, and you’ll find your intuition messages will begin to have more detail and accuracy. A common problem is that you may be so used to using logic and the thinking part of your brain, you may forget to use the intuitive side of your brain. The fun part is, if you remember to use your intuition, particularly things that aren’t too important, when it works it’s really cool! You will then begin to build confidence in using your intuition on bigger more important things. Practice being intuitive all the time and you will create an intuitive life.

Here is how. Initially, the first easy step is to notice your intuitive nudges even when you are doing mundane things, like the laundry.

For example, the other day it ...

From the color of foods to their fat content and nutritional value, there are facts about what we consume, their origin and manufacture which is not common knowledge and rarely promoted as truth. Here are 10 food facts that still surprise the majority.

1. Orange Tomatoes May Be Healthier Than Red Ones

Usually, deep color in fruits and vegetables indicates abundant antioxidants – compounds that have been linked to heart and brain health – so it makes sense to consume produce with the deepest hues. But a study by Ohio State University researchers, published in the Journal of Agricultural Food and Chemistry, found that a variety of orange-colored toma...

Are you invested in Monsanto stock like Bill Gates, who owns hundreds of thousand of Monsanto shares worth about $23 million? It might be time to pull out since the company just reported over $156 million in losses for the fourth quarter.

It’s a tough time for biotech, and thank goodness. Monsanto’s losses were attributed to farmers in major agricultural zones favoring soy over GMO corn because of falling crop prices – largely caused by Syngenta’s release of MIR162 corn, which has been completely refused by Chinese officials repeatedly – which have depressed both local and foreign corn bushel prices...
