Family Caregiving For The Elderly Or Sick

Compassion and Healing

Living With Chronic Complainers

Getting old or being sick isn’t easy. Living with those who are feeling the aches and pains of age and illness isn’t easy either. They often seem angry all the time, never have a nice thing to say about anything or anyone and their negativity can easily bring down the entire house in an instant. You want to be compassionate, you want to be there for your family when they’re in need. But even the best of people can only take so much before they go crazy themselves.

From the perspective of the older or ill relative, they already feel as though they’ve become a burden to you. If it’s a parent you’re taking care of, remind them that they took care of you when you were young and now it’s your turn to take care of them. Tell them that the U.S. is the only country that doesn’t treat it’s elderly with the utmost respect and dignity. In most other countries, the elderly are revered and honored. In many countries of Asia, it’s an honor to be selected as the one who is responsible for caring for their elderly parents. Continue reading →

Monday 10/15 On The Ænigma Project – The Unusual Side Of The Paranormal

Oct12

The Ænigma Project – Mondays 9 PM EST

The Ænigma Project is a discussion group focused on the realm of the supernatural, paranormal and mysterious events that sometimes take place in our lives. Through multiple view points and experiences, we seek to enlighten our listeners and elucidate that which has become hidden beneath the many layers of misunderstanding and fear.

10/15 Our Topic: The Unusual Side Of The Paranormal
Isn’t the Paranormal ALREADY unusual??? Yes it is. But there are things in the world you’ve probably never thought about or known. What foods allegedly keep you from seeing ghosts or can protect you from the supernatural? Is there any correlation between the length of your hair and psychic awareness? What is ‘Dead Time’ and do paranormal investigators really believe it to be significant in some way? We will discuss these topics and more.

You can listen online and join in the chat room to share your perspective or ask questions for the panel to contemplate and address. If you don’t want to join the chat, you can still listen live on your pc or Smartphone on TuneIn radio! I LOVE this app!

There are may ways you can listen on the go, at home, at work or in your car. Simply go to the app that allows you to stream the show and search for Tenacity Radio, then save it as a favorite.

We always have a lot of fun! And we’d love to have you with us.

If you miss the show, you can listen on the Tenacity Radio Archives for the The Ænigma Project (look for date and topic), or visit the The Ænigma Project blog for links to iTunes and more ways you can listen to past shows.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Wands –

Oct12

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Sharing creative ideas will get the job done today. Share you wisdom and knowledge today with someone who is interested in learning. You’ll be surprised by the appreciation of your time and effort. But you’ll also get your own creative energies flowing that will help solve a long standing issue. Remember, what you give to others; you will get back.

Additional Insight:

Sharing what you have learned with others is very rewarding and fulfilling. But it can give you more than you realize in that moment. It can give you self confidence, an uplift in self esteem and it can reinvigorate your own sense of empowerment. Listen to your own words and the advice you give to others. Do you need to apply that same suggestion to your own path?

We often come across situations that mirror our own challenges. We’re great at telling others what we think they should do, but often times what we’re really doing is telling ourselves what we need to do.

Take sometime today to hear your own words of advice and encouragement to others. Listen to your suggestions and start implementing your own wisdom on your own path. Try Walking Your Talk on your path and you’ll be surprised at how far your own advice can take you.

It’s 10.11.12 – Does It Mean Anything?

Oct11

Today Is October 11, 2012 (10.11.12)

If you believe in numerology of course it means something. But which numerological method do you follow?

Many people think there is only one pattern of number analysis. In actuality there are several. Mathematics is the only language shared by all humans regardless of culture, religion, or gender. Many of the ancient cultures: Babylon, China, Egypt, India,and Japan were using forms of numerology long before the Greeks and Romans. Over the centuries each culture has created its own method of analyzing numbers. While there are many of these, several methods have risen to the top so to speak, as the most common methods or practices. These are: Chaldean, Chinese, Indian Vedic, Kabbalah, Pythagorean (also called Western) and Shamanistic (which can vary from Germanic, Celtic, Indo-European or the Americas).

Numerology is the study of the divine or mystical relationship between a count or measurement and life. It has many systems, traditions and beliefs. To learn more about read The Bare Minimum Basics of Numerology and begin your own research. Continue reading →

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Empress – Inverted

Oct11

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Don’t be the leader today. Get your rest and let someone else steer the ship for a while. Cook up your own ideas, work out things in your head, write some plans or work on creative projects. Give the stress and anxiety to someone who is dying to step up to the plate and let them be Boss For The Day.

Additional Insight:

While you’re trying to do everything for everyone else, you’re using up your energy and depleting your body’s natural immunities. If you don’t already have a cold, you’re working your way to getting a big one. So make sure you take time to take it easy and stop worrying yourself sick.

Today take time for you to do what you enjoy and express your creative energies. Whither it’s an idea you have at work, a project you want to spend time on at home. Give yourself permission to work on what helps you relax and let someone take care of the day’s work.

If anything else, the person who keeps saying you have an easy job and they’d love to have it, will discover it’s not easy at all. When they come to you and ask for help, tell them they’re the boss and they have to make the decisions. But don’t let them sell the farm. When the day is over and they’re totally exhausted from the stress and running around, they’ll appreciate what you do a whole lot more.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Nine of Swords

Oct10

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Just cause you’re feeling tied up today, doesn’t mean you can’t take a moment to enjoy the little beauties in life. One of them might be bringing you a long awaited gift. Don’t ignore everything for the sake of the all mighty dollar; it really isn’t worth it. You’ll miss out on those special moments and eventually you’ll realize they’re gone forever. It’s true what they say; you never realize what you have, until it’s gone.

Additional Insight:

Don’t strangle your thoughts and tighten your focus on the work that’s before you. The relationships in your life also require effort, attention and work on your part. Make room for those who are important to you too.

Whither it’s taking a moment to look your child in the eyes and hear a story they have to share. Or giving a hug to that special someone to let them know you love them and care about them. It doesn’t take that much time to do, nor does it take that much effort.

It can also benefit the work you’re trying to get done. Those little moments of distraction help you clear your mind, and release the stress that builds up during the day. When you come back to the work; you can see it with fresh eyes and see the mistakes, or find the solutions to the problems that have plagued you all day.

Not to mention, it may keep those who care about you from feeling neglected, ignored and not worthy of your time or attention. You maybe working hard to keep those loved ones fed, clothed and warm. But material things aren’t the only items they need. They need you too.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: The Fool – Inverted

Oct9

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Acting the fool once in a while doesn’t mean you’re foolish and can be taken advantage of. It means knowing how to have fun and getting enjoyment out of the little things in life that most “adults” walk past without noticing. Stop worrying so much about what others think of you. You’re letting them define who you are and the person you “should be”. Do you really want to put that power in “their” hands?

Additional Insight:

There’s nothing wrong with having a little fun and letting off steam. There are many ways to relieve stress and relax. Who’s to say your way isn’t proper or the best way for you?

Don’t live your life based on someone else’s criteria. They don’t know you and their life isn’t all it’s cut out to be either. If crawling around with your animals skins your knee and allows you to have some fun, then go right ahead and do it. Wear that skinned knee with pride.

And when others try to make you feel silly or put you down, simply remind them that life is full of little things that make you smile and see the beauty in living. It’s a shame they can’t take the time out of their overly happy life to reveal in those things. But it doesn’t mean you can’t.

— It’s National Stop Bullying Month —
Do something, get involved and stand up to the fear tactics of others who try to degrade others so they feel better about themselves. That’s all a bully is. Someone who doesn’t have their own self-esteem or self-worth in check and the only way they can feel better about who they are, is to put someone else down. To do that, they find someone they think of as weak and start their fear campaign. But when a target stands up for his or herself, the bully will back down and look for a new target. When they do, find that person and talk to them. Strength in numbers will always overwhelm the bullies. They don’t have the confidence to stand alone.

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Four of Cups – Inverted

Oct8

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Sometimes you have to fan the flames of a fire to get it started. Put some attention to the flame that burns within you and get things started today. Match your inner spirit with your outer physical being to bring your desires into play and create what you need most in your life on both a spiritual and physical level. It’s not enough to think with your head, if your heart isn’t willing to follow.

Additional Insight:

You can over think things sometimes. You may mentally believe that living in the present is the important thing to do. You may practice with effort to release the past and not let it rule your life. But if you don’t incorporate those mental understandings in your heart, you can still mirror the old bad habits.

Allow your heart to find its passion again and fan the flames of desire. What do you really want? Are you being wishy-washy and keeping old dreams alive in your new world. You’ve changed and you’ve grown a lot in the past few years. Do you still want the same things you wanted backed then? Your heart thinks so, but your mind has moved on.

Take some time to examine your inner desires and bring them up to date with the new you. You may find those old dreams aren’t really significant any longer. Or they’re not really what you want today at all. Maybe they simply need a little tweaking. You’ll never know and continue holding yourself in stases if you don’t take the time to figure out….what is really your passion …Today!?

Today’s Tarot Meditation Drawing: Two of Pentacles – Inverted

Oct5

Mystic Faery Tarot by Linda Ravenscroft

Abundance is hanging down from above, waiting to be picked. You know what needs to be done to attain it, so why aren’t you doing it? Things are not going to happen on their own. Everything worthwhile takes an effort. Stop dreaming about the things to be done, stop thinking about the things that need to be put in place. Simply start doing them, and stop putting them off!

Additional Insight:

Things are not going to happen on their own. Prayer alone won’t organize the steps needed to bring your dream into reality. At some point you’re going to actually have to do some real work to bring abundance into your life. Whither its writing a business plan, buying lumber or paint, applying to local businesses, or talking to that guy or girl you like; you must put action behind your thoughts.

Creative visualization and prayer add energy to the goals you set for yourself. But this isn’t the movies, there are no magik wands or faery wishes that will create what you want out of thin air. The magik you put behind the energy comes from physical action of putting yourself in the right place at the right time.

Believe in yourself. This message has been repeated a lot this year. Take the step and move the confidence out of your head and into hands where you can bring them into the physical world. Stop making excuses, stop putting it on the back burner, stop saying you don’t have time. Stop doing it for other people and start doing it for you! This is your time. You can do this. So get to it!
