Meditation and music works for me ... actually just being quiet ... real solitude. In the summer I find gardening really gratifying and therapeutic. ------------- "the time is always ripe to do right", Nelson Mandela. |

So you are a "busy body" eh, V .Yes, music is a "food of life" ... it certainly feeds the soul ... ever imagine how it all started way back in time ... I understand it had to do with the heart beat ... could put one into a trance ... very powerful if you really get into it. ------------- "the time is always ripe to do right", Nelson Mandela. |

agreed!
I think you may be right with that heart beat because I think first music was rhythm - drums and percussions ------------- Peace out |

I find it fascinating Roggy ... how different aspects of our lives have evolved to what we take for granted today and how much things are changing as we speak ... or has it really? Sometimes I wonder if its just a figment of our infinite imagination ... really interesting ... what is fact really, a different perspective or spin as we say in the west? ------------- "the time is always ripe to do right", Nelson Mandela. |

Yepes C-Eve.....CaribbeanChoice is like an extended and real family
There are some boardies who are MIA, at this moment.
But they are coming back. Hopefully. I've seen some coming back.
We had some ups n downs, like every other site has.
But CaribbeanChoice, is the best choice you can make to be there.
OOPS, C-Eve...don't forget the videoclip that was made end of october. with the Bob's song Three little birds.

C-Eve, I like your nick name 
...and yes, it's fascinating. I saw the movie of our traveller and director Barabas who was at the expedition on Papua New Guinea where people live who have never seen white man and they live like in stone age. I often think about their life. The movie is called Pururambo.

Okay C-Eve...I understand the nickname...
Roggy, here in the Netherlands there is or was a program, where a Dutch Family and Belgium Family are going to Papua New Guinea and another country too. And then they have to stay a week or three, trying to share everything together...oops the Dutch Family the kids or the wife crying , they can't accept to share culture >LOL< and the two or three members of the Papua New Guinea family is coming to The Netherlands... and you know what can happens, Snow, Train, Sex on TV, and not to mention the Coffeeshop's .

Thanks Roggy, am glad you like my nickname. About that party ... would it be a virtual one or real ... either way I think it will be a blast ... talk about "outing"!! The different nuances of other cultures are fascinating and what we take for granted could be quite challenging or downright scary ... being out of one's comfort zone could be very uncomfortable when the events are unanticipated.

Originally posted by Citizen Eve How you Refuel & Stay Motivated I would say that one thing I do is take a day off every week where I do almost nothing. No house chores. No social calls. No work. No agenda. No deadlines. No schedule. And I just relax. If I want to sleep until noon, I do. If I want to do nothing, I do nothing. If I want to do something around the house, I do it. If I want to post on the internet, I do it. The key thing is that on that day I am not required to do anything. Everything I do on that day is because I alone chose to do so. Not because it has to be done. Not because someone told me to do it or wants me to do it. It's my day off, and if I don't want to answer the phone, I don't even do that. The rest of the week is full of deadlines and goals and calls and e-mails and serving others, that for one day a week, it is whatever I want to do. I love serving people, which I do all week. But to balance things, once I week I think of me. I don't always take my day off, but when I do, it is usually Saturday or Sunday. ------------- Scott M. Stolz CaribbeanChoice.com. Inc.

I would say that most people fall into one of two extremes: either they are too busy helping others to take care of themselves, or they are so busy taking care of themselves they don't care about others. Very few people seem to be balanced where they take care of themselves and others.

True, but in some ways, they are only thinking of themselves and their needs (i.e. their work or their paycheck).

Regardless of the nature of the relationship ... all the participants are exchanging efforts, some in higher doses than others (positive or negative or both) ... key is setting boundaries and being true to one's self ... intention is our guide. The exchange is influx and we are all giving or taking at some point in the dynamics ... is our intention to give or receive or both?
