FREEDOM
[free-duh m] via dictionary:
- exemption from external control, interference, regulation, etc.
- the power to determine action without restraint.
It's time to Celebrate Freedom! Give yourself freedom to be free of criticism ~ free of complaining ~ free of comparing ~ free of competing ~ free of contending (these are the 5 metastasizing emotional cancers by Stephen Covey)
Shout out
"I'm FREE to BE ME
FREE to discover ME
FREE to evolve ME
FREE to love ME."
You have the FREEDOM to choose kindness, love, empathy, generosity, patience, acceptance, perspective (PAP). FREE to choose your circles of influence. FREE to choose HAPPINESS.
What makes you FREE and HAPPY? Explore your journey with FREEDOM.
I wish you all joy and peace in your hearts and much love and happiness in your souls.
Love and JOY,
Cynthia

By The Christian Mediator
"Life can either be something you embrace or something you hide from." Stop making things more complicated than they actually are and just start living your life. It would be so much easier and more enjoyable if we would learn to just release certain unnecessary and unbiblical limitations.
Let's look at some of the things you need to let go of on your journey to becoming a happier person. I am fully aware of the biblical difference between happiness and true joy, so please don't criticize this work before you begin reading it. My purpose is to simply offer basic instructions for better living. So, with that in mind, things you need to let go of are:

Why Leaders Lack Emotional Intelligence
by Travis Bradberry
Over the past century, the heartless, no-nonsense CEO has become something of an icon--and a cliché--in American society. Hollywood would have us believe that the Machiavellian chief exec is still alive and well. Whether it's the Donald from The Apprentice or Jack Donaghy from 30 Rock, these eat-the-weak-for-breakfast-types seem to be as powerful as ever.
But that's just TV, right? How about in the real world? Do businesses still allow these inhumane relics to survive?
To find out, we analyzed the emotional intelligence (EQ) profiles of the million-plus people in our database--workers from the frontlines to the C-suite. We discovered that the answer is yes, organizations today do promote the emotionally inept ... except when they don't. Allow me to explain.
We found that EQ scores climb with titles from the bottom of the corporate ladder upward toward middle management. Middle managers stand out with the highest EQ scores in the workplace because companies tend to promote people into these positions who are level-headed and good with people. The assumption here is that a manager with a high EQ is someone for whom people will want to work.
But things change drastically as you move beyond middle management.

Surprising Facts You May Not Know About Laughter
By Dr. Mercola
It's thought that laughter may have occurred before humans could speak as a playful way for mothers and infants to communicate, as a form of play vocalization, or to strengthen group bonds. Even today our brains are wired to prime us to smile or laugh when we hear others laughing.
Yet, laughter is a largely involuntary response; it's not generally something you can force yourself to do. Instead, laughter is thought to be triggered by mechanisms in your brain and impacts breathing patterns, facial expressions, and even the muscles in your arms and legs.
It plays a role in your health, too, and has many quirks and mysteries that make it one of the most fascinating physical reactions that a human (and certain other species) can make.

- 2 cups boiling water

- In a large bowl, combine cream cheese, sugar, and cool whip. Beat until smooth. Spread over pretzel crust. Make sure to get the cream mixture tight against the edges of the pan to prevent the jello mixture from seeping through.
- Bring 2 cups of water to a boil. Remove from stove and add jello. Stir until Jello is dissolved. Add sliced strawberries. Pour over cream layer and put in the fridge for at least 4 hours.
