I slept and dreamt that life was joy
I awoke and saw that life was service
I acted and behold, service was joy.

Indian Poet Rabindranath Tagore

Of all the great, unsolved mysteries still out there, the one that is probably the easiest to solve is discovering the “secret” to happiness. If everyone would simply be mindful of helping / serving their fellow beings, abundance, prosperity, peace and happiness will be available to ALL. Seems we always circle back to “The Golden Rule”: Do to others as you would have them do to you. Simple, yet still sage advice.

With everyone working for the greater good, the entire planet will get swept up in the prosperity. When the tide rises, all the boats get raised up. Choose to be a boat instead of a rock, which will remain at the bottom like a “dead” weight.

Just because a phrase is often repeated, does not make it true. One that comes to mind is “Charity begins at home.” Fortunately, that was not one echoed in my home. My parents leant a hand to those who needed it regardless of whose home they came from. And what exactly is meant by “home”? Doesn’t seem very charitable to place conditions on people in need. Charity begins at the point where someone / anyone needs help — regardless of relationship, ethnicity, religion or geographical region.

This June-July Summer Issue we turn our attention to Focusing on What We Want, and just as importantly, not on what we don’t want. Our first three articles expound upon this with varying, yet complimentary viewpoints. Owen Waters tells us to Focus on Heart-Centered Consciousness.

You Are Your Attention, explains Selina Maitreya: even your conversations about the actions of the undesirable (perhaps a presidential candidate?) brings more energy to their actions and keeps alive what you are hoping to end. Instead, share stories of kind deeds, small and great, that occur every day.

Salena Migeot reiterates this message in Feed Only What You Want to Grow: If you do not feed people and situations energy, their energy will dissipate. If the majority of us are only “feeding” into what is good, that good will manifest.

For Father’s Day, we share A Good Father, by Jeanmarie Wilson. Yes, a “good dad” does more than just provide financially. Among other life skills, he teaches his son to respect all women, and he teaches his daughter to expect this respect from all men.

There is a rampant use of antidepressants (1 in 4 women). Frightfully, this may be a prescription for permanently disabling the body’s self-healing potential. Kelly Brogan, MD, reveals The Truth About Antidepressants and Depression.

Summer days mean fun in the sun. But how many folks have been frightened away from enjoying outdoor time. In the article, Dermatologist’s Flawed Sun Exposure Guidelines, Dr. Joseph Mercola emphasizes that we are not nocturnal beings; avoiding the sun entirely is horrible advice that should not be followed.

In Peace & Gratitude,
Neil and Andrea
