[1] (The Lord:) "Ah, when at times of a certain enrapturing for a few moments the spirit with its primordial fire ether emits into the perfect soul, then the distant feeling, distant effectuating and
distant viewing is raised to a higher power, and in such moments it is for the soul possible, to reach the even very distant stars and look at them with great precision; but when the spirit in the soul withdraws orderly, the soul with her pure outer life-sphere can only reach effectively, as far as she under the most favorable conditions can find anything to her elementary corresponding. Her outer life-sphere resembles the emission of an earthly visible light. The further away from the flame, the more weakly and faintly it becomes, until finally nothing is left then night and darkness.
[2] However, it is quite different with the outer life-sphere of the spirit. It is equal to the ether, which fills the entire, infinite space as completely evenly distributed. When the spirit freely emerges in the soul and is excited, in the same moment also its outer life-sphere is endlessly far away excited too, and his viewing, feeling and effectuating reaches without the slightest limitation so endless far away, as the ether fills the space between and in the creations through and through; since this ether is – said among us – actually absolutely identical with the eternal life-spirit in the soul. The spirit is only a condensed focal point of the general life-ether, which fills the whole of infinity. And when fully grown through the soul and gets into contact with the outer ether, his feeling, thinking and viewing is immediately unified with the infinite outer life-sphere to an endless distance without weakening, and what the large life-ether in endless space feels, sees, thinks, wills and effectuate by surrounding and penetrating everything, is also felt, viewed, thought, willed and effectuated in the same moment by the separate spirit in a soul, and this also is felt, viewed, thought, willed and effectuated by the soul, for as long she is penetrated
by her spirit and for as long he is connected with the infinite and most general outer life-ether which he is so closely related to.
The human brain (etheric)
The human brain and relationship with the soul - education, effects of sin, life in the beyond
How could any creation develop from any ever so rare matter, since all matter, including man's brain is nothing but pure matter and hence can never be a creator but only a creation?! (Book 4, 4:2)
5] With people whose love has not yet awakened thus, the thoughts, although forming in the heart as well, on account of the latter being still too material, are not discerned within same but only in the brain, where the thoughts of the heart, already more material on account of the arousal to action, develops pictorially, amalgamating with the images which have imprinted themselves in the brain tablets [pyramids, the trans.] from the outside world through the body's sensors, becoming so to say material and bad in the soul's view and therefore having to also be regarded as the necessarily evil basis for men's deeds. (Book 4,4:5)
[22] The earthly intelligence of the brain can therefore never accept and understand something purely spiritual, because it has been given to man only for the necessary care for his body. Such a thing can only be done by the divine spirit in the heart; it must therefore be practiced from early on.(Book 7, 68:22)
The greatness of the human being
The greatness of the human being - fearfully and wonderfully made
23. "O you still very blind ones, what is more: The action and gesture of a child or the destruction of a mountain, caused by a million lightnings?
24. "Behold, this is the school of eternal life; this is more than the cosmic mote attached to Rudomin's toe, - infinitely more than all the vastness of the endless visible creations!
25. "Come to know man in man and in his signs; interpret the latter in the spirit of love and all truth out of it, and you will only then wisely learn what is greatest and what is taught in My school, and how the latter is to be recognized in man from his living signs.
26. "Verily, I tell you, greater things than a central sun are contained already in the tear of a newborn child! (HHG vol. 2, chap. 79)
5. "Now you all, who are here surrounding Me on the height, know that I am God, the One and Only Eternal God, talking with you as a Father visible before your eyes and teaching you.
6. "However, if the Father is a God, his children will certainly not be dogs, cats, oxen, cows, calves, asses and the like, but they will be what their Father is, being and working where He is and works.
7. "Behold, this is My eternal order, namely, that everywhere and in everything, with every matter, with every being the children must be as perfect as is their father!
The food for the soul and spirit - inner word versus spoken word - road to paganism
10] After these words of Henoch the guest at the other table (n.b.: the Lord) rose again and began to speak and his words sounded as follows:
11] "Friends, brothers and sisters! W e all have strengthened ourselves with this good meal. Our
body parts wince thereat with joyful feelings and our soul has now an easy task to give the body a supple activity. For this, to the most sublime, sacred Giver of all good gifts, all thanks and all our love always and forever!
12] But the body is not the main cause of man, but only a working means to attain the eternal, holy purpose, which is based in the eternal, divine order.
13] But if this is necessarily the case with our body and impossibly otherwise, it is as clear as daylight that in man something quite different, thus a completely different, higher man must dwell, for whose sake the very body, which we all now have so proficiently lined, actually exist, and to whom's most advantageous feeding we should be always mightily be concerned about.
14] You now say among yourselves in your hearts: 'This would indeed be very good and useful; but then one would also need to know with what the inner man must be fed!
15] We see all kinds of fruit on earth grow and mature to nourish the body; but a tree on which fruits grow and mature to serve the nourishment of the inner man, we are unable to find!'
16] That's right, my beloved friends, brothers and sisters; but here I want to say to you something
else and so hear Me out:
17] Behold, the Lord has arranged everything in such a way, that matter feeds from matter, the soul from the soul, love from love and the spirit from the spirit!
18] But love is the cause of the spirit and most actual being of the inner man and we therefore can give our inner man no better food than as to saturate it with the love for God. Through this love he becomes strong and powerful and becomes a master in this his house which is the immortal soul and the mortal body.
19] However, the foods for the body must be prepared either by nature or by the culinary art of the people, so that it is fit for human consumption; in even a higher degree the food for the spirit must be well prepared!
20] The word in us is this preparation of the food of the spirit; therefore we also want to prepare the food with the word and only then strengthen our spirit with it!" […]
(HHG vol.3, chap. 43)
Chapter 44
01] And the speaker at the other table continued: "The word, coming alive from our hearts, however, is what I want to have designated as the preparations for the love to God, which there is the true food for the spirit.
02] I say to you: The word, yes, the living true, right word from the bottom of our hearts, is all in all; it penetrates matter, dissolves it into the spiritual and then nourishes with the resolution of matter the spirit.
03] This is then - as I have mentioned before already -, namely, that only the spirit nourishes the spirit, the soul nourishes the soul and matter nourishes matter.
04] For the word in us, as the itself clear enunciated thought in the heart, seizes matter, divides it and contemplates its wondrous structure. In this contemplation the soul saturates itself already; because the delightful feeling of the soul during the contemplation of marvellous beautiful forms is its saturation!
05] However, man has been arranged by the Creator in such a way, that the saturation of one part, always causes a certain hunger of another.
06] But to understand this quite in depth, an example will assist us, and thus pay close attention good heartedly!
07] If your body is hungry, you always pant after a good meal, and if you sit at a fully laid table you are also joyful; for now you can satisfy the torturing hunger.
08] But if it meant: You now must sit for a full eight days at the table or for a month or even a year - say, would you not be consumed by the most terrible boredom?!
09] Yes, I tell you, My beloved friends, brothers and sisters, you surely would in such a case begin to despair!
10] However, if this is undeniable the case, I can ask: Why the boredom and despair because the body is then saturated?
11] Because the saturation of the body ensures the certain getting-hunger of the soul which always expresses itself in the bitterly felt desperate boredom!
12] But what is it one needs to do, to after the saturation of the body also saturate the soul?
13] One gets up from the table and go outside, for example on a small hill, or in a beautiful garden, where the soul then can saturate itself with the beautiful forms, like the song of birds, or with the ethereal, spiritual scents of flowers, and with other similar types of amenities for the soul.
14] But if someone has considered things like this for long enough and thus has sufficiently saturated his formerly hungry soul, also these delightful dishes will soon begin to bore him, and he will soon begin to long either for home to saturate his body again, which became hungry again by the saturation of the soul, with a good bite, or in better circumstances the spirit will begin to stir and will tell the body through the soul: 'I'm terribly hungry!'
15] But how will this hunger express itself? - Through an ever more and more burning curiosity.
16] He will want to understand matter and its beautiful forms; because as they are, they are not fit for him to enjoy, - they must be resolved through fire, light and sufficient truth.
17] But what is the fire? It is the desirely love. What is the light? It is the in the heart clear enunciated thought. What is the truth? It is the emerging and pronounced word resulting from the fire and the light!
18] Through this word we then take the solid matter and its lovely shape, resolve the matter, and find in the resolved matter the explanation and spiritual meaning of the form.
19] Thereby our spirit becomes delighted and this satisfied, blissful ecstasy is then already the
strengthening saturation for the spirit; because he finds in it his home, his rest, his material; his origin and in it his true love for God and God's almighty love for him!
20] And the spirit then falls in all love and humility down before the infinite love of God, gives thanks
to God and truly prays to God, and God is then his main saturation for eternal life.
21] Thus we want to look at the works of God and seek His great love and mercy in it. And if someone has found something, he makes it audibly known to all his brothers through good, true words and he and they will then be uplifted in the spirit and in truth, and this upliftment is then the true, living food for the spirit by which he vigorously begins to act in the love for God, which work is then also the true, eternal life!"
(HHG vol. 3, chap. 44)
[…] 10] You remain silent and seek for an answer; but I maintain that this time you can not find one that will satisfy Me! Have I then spoken about a physical or mechanical dissolvement of matter? […]
12] Did I not spoke of an inner living word of love from the heart, which first expresses itself in clear thoughts or mental forms and then transforms into the language of visions and only then, if necessary, because of the weakness of people with merely coarse senses, it spills over into the oral language, so that the coarse senses of such weak people through the frequent saturation of the spirit in them become refined, and they then with refined, thus with more alive senses contemplate the things in its truth and thereby continuously more and more saturate their spirit, so that he, as the actual life in man, can arise and become the perfect master in his house, - while, as it is now the case with you, he is nothing more than a sheerest, meaningless servant of matter, the judgement and thus also death?! (HHG vol. 3, chap. 45)
09] And when the main speaker noticed such He immediately directed the following words to the
critic and said:
10] "Listen, I want to give you a good answer to your intended question with which you meant to
catch Me, because you now allowed a different spirit to rise in your heart; but this is My answer: 11] You thought that man without a word could not comprehensively express himself in front of his fellow human beings, and that the oral word was the completion of the mute thoughts in the heart, because man thereby distinguishes himself as a human being from all other creatures of earth; and as such one would have to worship the Lord only with consummate words, but not worshipping and thanking and glorifying and praising Him with the inner only spirit saturating thoughts or feelings.
12] See, this is precisely the very wrong way! The very fact that man has become a sense- and world server and has turned himself to the outside, did he also came to use the outer mouth language and now can not understand his brother otherwise than through the word of mouth, which in itself is nothing more than merely the most outer bark of a tree.
13] However, he thereby lost incalculable much by this apparent advantage; because if man had stayed with his inner spirit language, the whole of creation would present itself as speech-enabled for him, and he could understand things in its very essence. But now he has become a silent observer and has in himself tainted all his senses through his turning-to-the-outside, so that he became deaf, blind and insensitive similar to the bark of the tree and understands nothing in its essence; yes, he doesn't even knows himself anymore and he does not know the wailing heart of his brother!
14] Do you also want now to turn the recognition and worshiping of God, who Himself is the most inner life in man, to the outside, so that you thereby also could lose even God and become a heathen or even a complete atheist?!«
(HHG vol. 3, chap. 46)
01] After a brief pause the main speaker began to continue speaking again: "You look at Me now
completely puzzled because I have kindled a little light for you, and you do not know what you should make of Me and My words.
02] Inside you ask yourself: 'How could I become a heathen or an atheist, if I pray with words of the mouth to God?! Can I then recognize God with the mouth without previously recognizing Him in my heart, thus in the thoughts of my heart?'
03] Yes, My friend and brother, you now recognize God and your mouth word is an expression of what you feel in your heart; but why?
04] Because you saw the Lord, your God, and are thus compelled to believe it that there exist a God, and how He looks like and you have heard from Him what He wants to achieve with man!
05] But this belief is not a freedom of the spirit, but a killing bondage thereof, since you now must believe that it is Him, God the Lord, because you have seen Him and could convince yourself through the power of His speech and His actions.
06] But this belief will only hold you but can not pass over in this your persuasive power to your
offspring; because what you now convincingly recognize, that your descendants will only halfway hardly believe as true, since it is only a verbal heritage, thus far weaker than there was your visual perception.
07] But in ten generations forward, this your disfigured traditional belief will barely be worthy of any consideration and paganism will become the fruit of your mouth faith and this fruit will follow the utter denial of God and upon this the surest judgement because man without his association with God is already condemned in his own death-night.
08] But if you acknowledges God in your heart, that is through your living love for Him and thus prays in spirit and in truth to Him, you are going to shake off your present compelled faith-judgement, from which you never will harvest any salvation, but instead you will go over into a living faith, that means in a living vision of your spirit in you, wherein finally all your life forces must unite, if you should live forever.
09] And only in this living vision you will truly recognize God and acknowledge Him alive in the spirit and in truth; and you will also seek to preserve this acknowledgement in your descendants, and they will follow your example, and paganism, the denial of God, the judgement and death shall remain far from all your descendants.
10] Because this is indeed sure and highly duly certain that the spirit of man is the most innermost, just as the living germ-spark is the innermost of every fruit.
11] If you thus believe and pray outwardly, sensual materially, you lure your spirit also to the outwardly materially, what there is your judgement and therefore death.
12] But if you do this, you are doing spiritually the same as if you would take a torch, and while it burns, stuck it in a mud puddle! I ask you: Will it continue to burn and will it enlighten your dark path?
13] Your spirit is your light and your life; but if you extinguish it, what is then left to you whereby you can grow a life for you?
14] You now live of course because you've seen God and you now must believe that He exist; but I tell you, with this life you will not go beyond the grave, if you will not forget in your matter, what you saw, and the forgotten not will find anew in your spirit through the powerful love for God!
15] But what I now have told you, hold it as high as what you saw, and you will have eternal life,
otherwise only to the grave. 16] Understand such and speak, if something is a little dark to you, so that I can enlighten you! Amen. " (HHG vol. 3, chap. 47)
The divine spark in all creation
The divine spark in all creation - diversity and evolution comes from organisation
As you know, man consists of three things, namely, of body, soul and spirit.
Well, this is how you have on the whole grasped these things, when you say: "The body is matter, the soul is taken from the materialspiritual, bound because of the fall of the one great spirit, and the spirit is a divine spark, which is to elevate and spiritualize the soul. The latter, in turn, through its refinement will bring also the elements of the material body onto a higher level, so that everything can gradually proceed on its gamut of perfection, as it had been decreed in advance in the great plan of creation."
In these conclusions already lies the first erroneous concept, since you only consider your own spirit as endowed with the divine spark that is to ennoble everything. For, had you not always (often unconsciously) aristocratic ideas, which you want to apply to My person, you would easily realize and understand that everything created is fundamentally divine and must be infinite since it is descended from Me, has originated from Me and must again return to Me.
The body, a material tool during your life span, is composed of the same noblest, most sublime elements of My spiritual self as are soul and spirit. However, these elements are bound in matter and coerced to manifest only in the manner allowed by their momentary arrangement. These most subtle spiritual elements, which help in the building of the bodies already in the womb, also struggle for perfection, completion. Expressing their tendency in the form of the body, in so far as a plastic (well-defined) form can express a spiritual principle, they seek, through their calling in human life, to supplement what higher spiritual elements in the soul will then develop further spiritually. They are the helpers, the collaborators in the great spiritual building of a perfected divine idea; just as no architect can build a house on his own, but requires a thousand hands which, however, mind you, do not work in a machine-like manner, but which likewise, again directed by other intelligences, help to execute the entire edifice.
The creative capacity of the soul and her spiritual development. True perception and size of things.doc
[4] This characteristic, about which the spirit of your father gave you good information, is also the possession of all pure spirits, and especially My angels who are always ready to serve Me, but in a more perfect degree than the less pure and still imperfect spirits.
[5] You cannot understand and perceive this yet because the world still imprisons your soul, but when your soul will be free by My Spirit in him, this now visible world will pass away for you. That means, you always will still be able to see it if you want, but the matter, which is now hard for you everywhere and the powers that abide in it will not be able to resist you in any way. And from your own inner being you will be able to create a world, which will be for you – as long as you want to keep it – an equally perfect foundation to live in as now My Earth forms for your body a foundation to live in and to be active.
[6] I can show you a small image, and if you will think about this in the right manner you will better understand what I just said to you now. For instance at night you have a very lively dream. In that dream you are completely self-conscious and you are always completely aware that it is only you who are dreaming and not someone else in your place. But you never had a dream in which you did not see any environment where you were and people with whom you often discussed, and this always according to your insight and manner of thinking.
[7] Where is that environment in which you were in your dream, and where and who were the people with whom you spoke or had to do something else? Look, nowhere else than in yourself.
[8] If your soul feels for the greatest part free from the bands of your body, and this for a short time during the sleep of your body, he only can see what lies deeply hidden in him, as if outside of himself in the form in which it is in him. No matter what it is, the soul sees it in full reality before him and in his environment he feels as much at home as when he is awake on this Earth.
[9] The fact that he also can meet people in a dream, partly still living people and partly people who already died, is because the soul of every human being carries in a way an image on a very
small scale in himself of all people who ever lived on Earth, live now and who will still live, as well as of the whole spiritual world, exactly as a mirror absorbs outer images in itself without those images being real. Of course, a mirror is only a very weak comparison because it is dead in itself and can therefore only represent dead forms of things that stand before it.
[1] (The Lord:) "But the ability to talk to animals does not necessarily require to be Moors. Also the whites can achieve this, if they have completely purified themselves. Once a soul is completely pure and therefore also completely healthy and strong, she begins to push so to speak the excess of her outer
life-sphere over the borders of her body, and the more life stronger she has become in herself the further the reach.
[2] This should be taken like someone imagining a still weakly glowing coal in a completely dark room. The piece of coal will now spread just enough light that one hardly can see it where it
lies. If one blows away the darkening ash as a so to speak soul matter from its surface, the light will already become stronger and reach a little further, so that one begins to clearly recognize
the immediate vicinity. If one increases the blowing more and more, from its light glowing surface there will be spreading sufficient light that one to some extend can begin to clearly discern the various items in the whole room. If the coal is then made white flame glowing, it will become quite bright in the whole room, and one will be able to distinguish all the items sufficiently illuminated also according to their color.
[1] I said again to Agricola: "You can now present your case. Thus, start speaking!"
[2] Agricola said: "Lord and Master, that the soul of a person continues to live after the death of its body, is now a completely confirmed case of the clearest truth. But where does it go to, and
what is actually its nature and what is the nature of the totally pure spirit? Since according to Your teaching space is infinite, then also the souls and even the purest spirits must be present
within the infinitely large space; since any 'outside' of it is completely impossible.
[3] Then another question: What form does a soul on its own have, or even a pure spirit, and why is it that a natural person cannot always see souls and spirits? Lord, only on these my questions give me a clear answer, and I will ask You about nothing else; because our complete ignorance in this matter is actually the reason, that makes death even more bitter and frightful. But if we people have also therein sufficient light, we will easily die and not clutch fearfully to the life of the flesh."
[4] I said: "Yes, this would be very easy for Me to explain this to you, if you only would possess the free understanding for it; but this you not possess as yet, although you, since being here, have heard many things in this regard which I have explained at length and yourself also have seen and experienced well-organized miracles. And therefore this is a very difficult matter to explain to you in greater detail than it already has been explained to you.
[4] However, every soul – no matter how weak, frail, fragmented and corrupted in itself – does carry in itself the primordial life germ, which can never get corrupted. If a soul is brought with the right length of time to the point, that the primordial life germ can be awakened in her, she becomes immediately blissful and in all things love-strong and wisdom-strong and is then just as well a child of the Almighty as an angel-spirit who became a person or a soul from a central son, from a lesser planet son or from any extraterrestrial other dark and by itself lightless earth body, of which there are more in the wide space of creation as there is sand in the sea and all the grass on earth.
[5] Who for instance of you is already a more complete person, can put his hands on a no matter how stupid and superstitious sinner of a proper animal person, or give him soft strokes from the roots of the nose over the temples down to the pit of the stomach, the person will thereby be brought into a raptures sleep. In this sleep the no matter how distraught soul will be freed from the teasing spirits of her body, and the primordial life germ appears immediately for a short time actively in the soul.
[6] Ask such a raptured sleeper a few questions and you will become answers, which will surprise your wisdom to the highest degree!
[7] If such a person after a short while, according to his own instructions which must be followed, is brought back into the earthly life, the primordial life germ has returned into its previous resting place, and the soul withdraws back to its old flesh bonds and remembers nothing from what has happened to it while its body was in a raptured sleep. She knows nothing of all the wisdom which she has spoken through the mouth of the flesh, and is then just as stupid and superstitious as before.
[8] This serves you as a proof that basically no soul can be corrupted to such an extent, that it cannot be cured anymore.
[2] Yes, friends, it is true that the inner conscience speaks this very angry language continuously to the one who through tricks and deceit wants to take advantage of credulous mankind, and does it also by means of his cunning worldly intellect. But such a person will finally anesthetize his conscience, which is the inner spirit of life and truth within man, and deceives more and more the people who have been made blind. (…)
[4] However, I say this to you who now for the sake of the pure truth have distanced yourself from the great deceits, because here a lot can still be made up for by the right works of love, but in the other world, where everything will be revealed, even the most secret thought of the soul, it will not do, and the deceiver and liar will have to go through the most bitter humiliations and will be loaded with more than great destroying shame in the eyes of all the righteous ones. (Book 20, chap. 4)

By Tamara McLendon —
I've always appreciated reading recommendations and articles shared by others, so I thought I'd pay it forward a bit. Here's a brief list of great books and other media I've encountered (or re-encountered!) this year that really made an impact on how I operate personally and as an owner of a professional services business.
- Getting Things Done: The Art of Stress-Free Productivity, by David Allen. A perennial favorite that I've re-read multiple times over the years. It advocates fairly simple methods for getting your whole life in order so that you can get the right things done at the right time.
- Crucial Accountability and/or Crucial Conversations, by Kerry Patterson and Joseph Grenny. There's some overlap here, so you may not need to read both books. They discuss how to approach difficult difficult conversations with colleagues, employees, family, and friends. It suggests first examining your goal, then examining your assumptions, and only then approaching the person with an eye toward problem-solving and relationship-building.
- Traction: Get a Grip on Your Business, by Gino Wickman. He lays out a management and measurement structure that helps businesses continuously improve their processes, and get really efficient. The phrase that sticks in my head is that if you treat your business as a "franchise prototype," and you document the heck out of everything, you free up time and resources to make real progress.
- Harvard Business Review, a publication of Harvard Business School. It comes every two months, and is so full of good, deep articles that it often takes me a full month to just read through it. The most recent issue has articles on time management for CEOs, the pitfalls of being too collaborative, and helping employees find meaning in their work. I keep a notepad with me when I read it because I'm always learning new things.

Depression and anxiety is a part of my life. I recognise now that it has been for the majority of my life. But it took a long time for me to realise and accept this. I didn't want to be "ill". The stigma surrounding mental illness was built within me, passed down through generations of people "pulling themselves together". I'd hear some of those close to me talk about victims of suicide, they would reflect on stories they had heard and use words like selfish and crazy. I remember feeling so much empathy and pain at those words. I understood feeling like my family would be better off without me. Like there wasn't going to be a future that I could play a part in. I thought that was my fault, I thought I was "selfish" too.
It wasn't until I was 18 and at university that I knew it wasn't just "teenage blues" and I wasn't "shy and one day you'll grow out it". I had reached the point in my life where I finally felt some independence. It slowly dawned on me (with the help of a lot of online research, cheers Google), the sweaty, breathy unsuccessful attempts to walk through the door of my uni seminars and the eventual slow tearful walk back to halls, were not just because I was "shy". Neither was my "awkwardness" the reason I would have to ring my friends to come and open their front door, when I arrived at their house, for crippling fear of knocking and not knowing who could be behind it when it opened, having not planned out precisely what I would say and then freeze unable to articulate myself.
I would sleep through the daylight, not eating, not doing anything, just being trapped to the spot and drifting in and out of consciousness. That wasn't because I was "lazy". I wasn't just "heartbroken" because my boyfriend and I broke up. I was depressed and self-sabotaging, misusing substances and driving people away because I felt unworthy and broken.
Some of them did walk away but some stuck around and I'm thankful for both because I know it's difficult to support someone who is unable to admit there is something wrong. The fear of ridicule or claims of "attention seeking" made it feel impossible.
Right now I feel incredibly supported but that hasn't always been the case. It's been about 10 years from my initial realisation and I can see things are shifting slowly (due to campaigns like Time to Change). Mental health is being discussed on the news, people are coming forward with their stories and I no longer feel shame for my struggles but we've still got a lot of work to do.
It took me 10 years to build up the courage and support to get a diagnosis and start on a road to recovery but that wasn't for lack of trying. At times of crisis, I went to those closest to me, I broke down to them to be told to "get a grip" or "just try and be happy".
A couple of hours before I got my diagnosis I was asked by a relative "Are you sure you want to do this? It will be on your medical records, people will make assumptions about you, it might affect your job prospects". I was furious. It had taken so much fight and feelings of guilt to get to a point where I was ready, I'd felt I had the support of my family, that they finally took me seriously.
However, on this occasion, I'm glad they asked me that question because I defied it, it stuck with me and I found strength from within it. Now I talk openly about depression and anxiety. I ask the people around me how they are and then I ask them again. I still see members of my family wince when the neighbour pops over for a cup of tea and asks how I am and what I've been up to. I answer them honestly and await the awkward silence but I also see how proud they are of me for challenging that stigma and for how far I've come. I still dread those kinds of questions some days.
I want the people that have touched on those feelings of nothingness or pain, the people who feel it totally consumes them and the people who blow it off as us being "snowflakes", to know our feelings are legitimate, we all deserve to be listened to and we are all in this together.

Halloween is coming. This means that the Universal Studios Singapore Halloween Horror Nights is back!
This is the 3rd year Universal Studios Singapore is doing a Halloween theme park. Universal Studios Singapore is serious about scaring you when they use more than 400 scare actors, 3000 prosthetics make up pieces and more than 5 gallons of fake blood every night to create the most horrifying experience. With 3 specially created movie-quality haunted houses, 3 immersive scare zones and a Halloween themed musical show, Halloween Horror Night 3 is a must go for adventure seekers.
A storm battered ship is found mysteriously adrift after being lost at sea since 1910. The crew has vanished. But of cos there are some other stuff left behind to haunt you. Adrift is a very nicely built haunted ship. It gives you the feeling that you are really on a ship. In fact, some of the rooms reminds you of Titanic. A haunted Titanic. The area is kinda dark too so beware. You never know who or what is waiting for you round the corner.
Songs of Death
Songs of Death is perhaps the most scary haunted house at Halloween Horror Nights 3. The haunted house is based on a Chinese Opera Academy. Which means there are things like joss papers and other traditional Chinese religion items around. Kinda creepy. Maybe because we can relate to those items.
House No 13: Possessions
If someone is selling at house unit number 13, I don't advise you to view the house at night. Or rather, why would anyone go view a house for sale at night? Maybe so that you can meet the occupants who are imprisoned there by evil spirits. Be prepared to be scared by things you normally find in a house. Like toilet bowl.
Word of advise: If this ever happen, just flush the toilet.
Besides the 3 haunted house, there are also 3 scare zones: Attack of the Vampires, Convention of Curses and Forbidden Forest. I love Attack of the Vampires. Basically they turned the streets of USS into a cemetery. Meet the vampires that terrorises the town.
Forbidden Forest is pretty scary. They say only fools venture through the woods after sunset. And they are right. Because ghost like Pontianak are waiting for you there. Oh, remember to watch your back. You never know who is following you.
The Convention of Curses isn't really a scare zone. It is more like a pasar malam with witches and wizards trying to sell their crafts. An interesting zone to visit. Hey, you might meet a beautiful Sorcerer if you are lucky.
Halloween Horror Nights 3 runs for 10 nights over four weekends, from 11 – 12 October, 18 – 19 October, 25 – 26 October and 31 October to 3 November 2013, from 7pm to 1am each evening. The theme park will close earlier on event nights at 5.30pm during this period.

Treating chronic sinusitis
Chronic sinusitis can be very unpleasant and affect your quality of life. But some treatments have been proven to effectively relieve the symptoms. Steroid nasal sprays are the most helpful, and surgery is sometimes an option too.
Having a stuffy nose for a short time is quite normal and usually not a problem. But things become more unpleasant if it's hard to breathe through your nose over a longer period of time and you feel pain or pressure in your face. These kinds of symptoms are often caused by chronic inflammation of the sinuses (chronic sinusitis).
There are two main types of bilateral chronic sinusitis (where both sides of the face are affected):
- Chronic sinusitis without polyps (non-cancerous growths): The mucous membranes are swollen, but there are no polyps.
- Chronic sinusitis with polyps: The mucous membranes are swollen and polyps have developed.
This information deals with these two main forms. Rarer forms of chronic sinusitis can occur as a result of a weak immune system or due to fungal infections. They may require special treatment.
What medications are available?
Steroid nasal sprays reduce swelling in the sinuses and ease the symptoms. Treatment with steroid sprays can cause any polyps that might be there to shrink. It usually takes a few days for the full effects of steroid sprays to be felt. In order to relieve the symptoms permanently, you often need to take medication for several months or even over a year. There are various steroid sprays, all of which have a similar effect according to the research.
Some people are reluctant to take any medication containing steroids. Steroids can have side effects when taken in high doses and over a longer period of time. In particular, they may irritate or dry out the membranes lining the nose. People sometimes have temporary headaches too. Nosebleeds can occur, particularly when taking higher doses. But the side effects are usually mild.
Steroid nasal sprays have far fewer side effects than steroids taken in tablet form or as an infusion (drip). Steroids in tablets or infusions are carried throughout the entire body, whereas topical medications like nasal sprays or skin creams mainly affect only the area they are applied to.
Although steroid tablets are effective too, they are generally only used in exceptional cases due to their side effects. They should not be used for more than three weeks.
Only few studies have looked into the benefits of antibiotics in chronic sinusitis. But they were not able to find out how effective they really are. Antibiotics only fight bacteria – but sinusitis is typically caused by viruses, not bacteria. Plus, the inflammation in chronic sinusitis is often influenced by other factors as well, such as allergies.
Severe bacterial sinusitis can lead to complications. Although this rarely happens, antibiotics need to be taken quickly in order to prevent serious complications such as meningitis.
Decongestant nose drops
Decongestant nose drops or nasal sprays aim to soothe the mucous membranes and reduce swelling. This makes it easier to breathe through the nose in the short term – which can make it easier to sleep. But decongestant drugs can quickly have the opposite effect as well. After just a few hours, the membranes lining the nose may start to swell again. The more often the medication is used, the stronger this effect is. So it's not a good idea to use this medication continuously for more than a few days.
Nasal irrigation and inhalation
In addition to medication, you can use saline (salt water) solutions to reduce swelling in the mucous membranes and to help loosen the mucus. Saline solutions are available as ready-to-use nasal sprays. To relieve symptoms, you can also try rinsing your nose with salt water. Heating water and inhaling the steam is another option. Some people like to add chamomile or peppermint. But there is not enough scientific research on saline solutions or steam inhalation to say for sure how effective they are.
Some medications may not be able to make sinusitis to go away faster, but they can relieve the pain. These include pain-relieving and anti-inflammatory drugs like ibuprofen, acetaminophen (paracetamol) or acetylsalicylic acid (the drug used in medicines like Aspirin). But some people don't tolerate acetylsalicylic acid well. It might make their chronic sinusitis worse, or even trigger asthma attacks. Painkillers like acetaminophen (paracetamol) are more suitable in that case.
Other treatments
The medication dupilumab (trade name: Dupixent) has been approved in Germany since October 2019 for the treatment of severe chronic sinusitis and nasal polyps in adults. It is used in addition to a steroid nasal spray, and injected under the skin every two weeks. Studies have shown that dupilumab relieves the symptoms of chronic sinusitis better than a steroid nasal spray alone.
A wide variety of other treatments are available. In addition to other medications, they include herbal products, acupuncture, infrared light therapy and zinc products. There is no scientific evidence that these treatments help in the treatment of chronic sinusitis, though.
Can surgery help?
Especially if the symptoms are very severe and they don't improve enough – or for long enough – just by taking medication, some people decide to have surgery. One common type is a procedure that expands narrow passageways in the sinuses. Non-cancerous growths (polyps) and inflamed parts of the mucous membrane are also removed. This operation is called "functional endoscopic sinus surgery (FESS)." It aims to improve airflow through the nose and the sense of smell, and make it easier for mucus to flow out. During the procedure, the narrowed sinus passageways are expanded using small instruments inserted through a tube (endoscope).
Unfortunately, only few conclusive studies have looked into whether FESS can improve the symptoms over the long term or how effective the operation is compared with medications like steroids. But surgery is an option if steroid sprays and other treatments haven't provided enough relief. The procedure also aims to help medications or saline solutions work better because they can reach the nasal cavities better after they have been expanded. Even after surgery, you will probably need to continue to use a steroid spray or other medication to relieve the symptoms.
Severe complications following FESS are very rare. More common complications include short-term bleeding, inflammation, bruising and an impaired sense of smell. According to various estimates, between 5 and 15 out of 100 people can expect these kinds of temporary side effects following surgery. People often have a stuffy nose for several days after the procedure, and scabs may form, but this gets better quickly. It may take several weeks until the wounds in the sinuses have completely healed, though. For this reason, it's important to have regular doctor's appointments for several weeks. He or she will rinse your nose with a saline solution. The ear, nose and throat (ENT) doctor will also remove wound secretions from your nose at several different appointments.
Another surgical procedure is known as balloon sinus dilation. This involves inserting a catheter through the nose and slowly inflating a balloon at the sinus opening. The aim is to expand the narrowed passageways at the sinus openings, but it is not suitable for all forms of chronic sinusitis.

The Tykes captain, who came through the non-league ranks at Halifax Town, is also said to be a transfer target for the Baggies' midlands rivals Aston Villa with Villans boss Steve Bruce an admirer of the centre-back.
With West Brom having a couple of aging centre-backs at the heart of their defence the time will soon come for Tony Pulis to reinforce that area of his squad and Roberts appears to be someone who could fill the void.
The 26-year-old made a huge impression in his first season in the Championship making 43 appearances for Barnsley as the Oakwell side comfortably consolidated themselves in the second tier after promotion the previous year.
Roberts has previously gone on record to say that he was looking forward to next season with the Yorkshire club but a big bid could leave the Tykes with a decision to make on his future.
Villa have already raided Barnsley for a couple of players recently having signed Conor Hourihane and James Bree from there in January but if they are to complete the hat trick of incomings then players are likely to need to leave Villa Park first.

Mr. Teddy Bear is now finished
And as it turns out, he is almost the same size as the little boy who received him
Have a nice night folks!
Mr. Teddy Bear is now finished
And as it turns out, he is almost the same size as the little boy who received him
Have a nice night folks!
Yes, the sun has arrived brining warm days (50 yesterday woohoo!!), Snow is melting (though we are getting more this weekend) and we have been able to spend more time outside without umpteen layers of clothing weighing us down.
The green trees on the mountains, are a beautiful sight!
I've been working more on the cosplay costume, though I don't have an updated picture right now, it pretty much looks the same, just a little longer.
With the help of my father inlaw, the case of the "what the heck is wrong with this stuffed bear", has been solved. There was too much fabric in the legs. This problem has now been fixed and the final part is being sewed up tonight!!!
I have been trying forever to make a granny square, the first one of which I did not take a picture of turned out to be a circle, the second was a bit more…..square-like
The third, with better instructions from a friend
turned out much better. I want to keep practicing and hopefully use up a large chunk of my yarn stash.
I also made a pencil grip this week, Lorelai has been complaining about how her hand works while writing….while I am sure this will only work for a few moments, it was fun to make.
Have a great day folks!!!
Hi there, it is I, Raea. I am currently writing to you from Narnia, you know Narnia don't you?! The land where it never stops snowing!!! Ok, perhaps I am being a bit dramatic, but in my almost 31 years, I have never seen this much snow, or felt the wind chill of -40 holy moly!!
Let's talk of warmer things shall we?
This softy snugly bear is almost finished, he needs a bit more stuffing and to be sewed up the back and he will be good to go!! This really was a fun project..despite the confusing and lack of directions (just saying). It wasn't all that bad, but now I want to see if I can make a pattern myself, just to see if I can.
I am happy to say that I finished my nephews late birthday & xmas presents, and I must say, he is now the coolest looking super hero in town
He was pretty happy and informed me that he wanted to be a mix of Spiderman & Batman for Halloween….hmmm new ideas.
Have a great day folks!! Stay warm! and please if you see Aslan, let him know New England is in desperate need of help!!!
Hello from the warmth of my blanket cave
It is has been very, very cold here as of late ( -20 anyone?!), even with the heat on a pellet stove running, we've had a hard time getting the house to warm up above 63 degrees.
I'll admit that the snow globe effect during a snowstorm is pretty, but my love affair with winter is over. For the first time in my almost 31 years of life, I am sick of snow. Maybe it is due to the crazy driving conditions that I have had no choice but to drive in, maybe it's due to almost being hit by a plow truck yesterday morning (no offense plow truck drivers, but please don't back up really fast if you see a car behind you. Incase you can't see said car, the blaring of a horn should be an indication.)
I've been trying to brighten up the house in little ways, spring cleaning with lovely essential oils (lemon and orange yum!), looking at bright pastel Easter projects that I am hoping to start soon, sunflower table cloth.
One project I've been working on has helped warm my hands a bit. I'm a making a teddy bear for the son of my Bosom friend. He just turned a year old and had my sewing machine cooperated, it may have been finished in little to no time what-so-ever.
Cutting out the pattern pieces and the fabric wasn't so bad, I found some lovely fleece left over from a project and found a pattern on Instructables
After pinning the pieces together, I ran into a small problem, one that would extend the length of this project. My sewing machine, does not like fleece. So I opted for hand sewing, I can do a mean back stitch which I find to be almost as good as using a sewing machine.
Day one went really well, until I realized that I sewed the ears on the wrong side of the face
The night before the birthday party (day two) I had made a lot of progress and was feeling pretty good….until I noticed part of the leg had been sewed on backwards.
On the third day, I succeeded in finishing the lower half and stuffing the body, I have the head almost complete and will post pictures when it all sewed up and ready to go (better late than never)
Have a nice evening folks!!
My premium account is about to expire, I apologize before hand for the large amounts of ads (not selected by myself) that will soon be popping up. Also, if you have me bookmarked, my web address will go back to http://www.theyearimademyownclothes.wordpress.com

Guest account enables you to access limited functions on a PC. This local user account doesn't allow you to create folders and files anywhere other than the desktop and doesn't allow you to access the libraries. This feature is present in Windows 7 and Windows 8.1. Unfortunately, for unknown reasons Windows 10 removed the option to create a Guest account from the control panel.
We all know how convenient the Guest account feature is to keep your PC safe and secure. In this article, we have an easy way for you to enable Guest account in Windows 10.
The elements which are required to create a guest account are somewhere available in Windows 10. Enabling guest account in Windows 10 through Command Prompt or using the group policy editor doesn't enables the guest account and doesn't really works and takes you to login to your current account.
How to Enable Guest Account in Windows 10?
Let's walk through the below steps to create a Guest account in Windows 10 using Command Prompt:
- Go to Start and select Command Prompt (make sure to Run as administrator)
- Type the command mentioned below
net user Visitor /add /active:yes
Note: We use the Visitor as the title of the account as Guest is a reserved name on your Windows 10 PC. You can set any title other than Guest. We suggest you keep it short and simple.
- A window appears asking you to set a password, just press the Enter key twice to set a blank password for the Guest account
- Now, to remove the new user account from the Default user group, type the following command
net localgroup users Visitor /delete and press Enter
- Add the new user account to the Guest user group by typing the following command:
net localgroup users Visitor / add and press Enter
- Close Command Prompt to complete and save the task
How to switch over to the Guest Account?
- Click on the Windows icon
- Hit on your username
- Now, select Visitor
You can simply choose the Visitor account from the Windows login screen to switch to the Guest account.
All you need to do is sign out of your existing current account and select the Visitor account in the sign in screen. Hit on the Sign-in option and your Windows 10 PC is now open with a Guest account.
You can easily share your PC with your friends or colleagues with keeping your private data safe and enabling the Guest to access the internet and some working applications. Although, the guest account doesn't allow the user to change settings or access your private files and install any programs on your Windows 10 system.
How to Delete the Guest Account on Windows 10?
You might not need the Guest account you created. You can simply delete the guest account using the following steps:
- Go to Settings
- Select Accounts
- Choose the Family & other people option
- Select the Visitor account (or the title you have set)
- Now, hit on the Remove button
Great! You have now deleted the unwanted Guest account on your windows 10.
You can now share your PC allowing the user to run apps and use the internet keeping your settings and files safe on your Windows 10 system.
Do you know another way too? Do let us know in the comments section below!

About the Memorial
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial was dedicated on May 24, 2000. A glass sculpture titled "Seeds of Enlightenment," it was commissioned by Corning Incorporated as a gift to the People of New York State. Artist Eric Hilton designed the sculpture, which consists of four abstracted glass columns, joined by an elongated triangular prism. Tiny droplets of glass "seeds" appear randomly on the prism and spill over onto the base. The sculpture sits on a square of polished granite.
Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr.'s commitment to human rights, community service, and nonviolence-and his inherent and charismatic ability to spread the gospel across physical, racial, and economic barriers-was instrumental in pushing the civil rights movement in America along the path to truth and enlightenment. In planting the seeds of these ideals, Dr. King set into motion the ultimate achievement of his dream-a dream of hope, peace, justice, and freedom for all humankind.
The Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Memorial is located in the North Concourse next to SEFCU and is open to the public from 6:00 a.m. to 11:00 p.m.

Consider, for a moment, the year 1968. The Tet offensive. The assassination of Martin Luther King Jr. The assassination of Bobby Kennedy. America was embroiled in divisiveness, even as passionate voices such as Kennedy's called out for change. Consider the lessons of history for today.
June 5th marks the 50th anniversary of Bobby Kennedy's death. Bill Walsh joins us today. He's a longtime friend of the Kennedy family, a former campaign advisor for Edward Kennedy, and the former owner of the Franklin Hotel in Deadwood.

SOUTH LAKE TAHOE, Calif. (News 4) — You call. They come. Some calls tougher than others.
"I had a baby. We had to do CPR and everything and ended up not saving [the baby]," said Paul Bias, a firefighter/paramedic at South Lake Tahoe Fire Rescue.
For some, experiences like this can wear on the mind.
"You do question sometimes whether you did everything correctly," said Bias. "I put a lot on myself."
Feelings of guilt, anger, self-blame all start to weigh on these heroes — many suffering in silence.
"My first traumatic car wreck, I was told, 'If you can't handle it, suck it up or get out,'" recalled Captain Leslie Asbury.

Meukow Extra Cognac
Truly special, the Meukow Extra Cognac is created from some of the oldest eaux-de-vie from the house's Paradis cellar. As one would expect from a blend that contains cognacs that have been aged as long as 30 years, you taste the rancio that only develops with super-long aging.
The bottle is a wonderful round shape, complete with pouncing panther (in gold), golden colored stopper, and presentation box. A great cognac for the connoiseur - be sure to enjoy in good company and when you have enough time to appreciate its sensory journey.

About Meukow Cognac
As the name suggests, Cognac Meukow is one of the few Russian Cognac brands in the Charente region. In 1862 two brothers were sent over to France to supply the Tsar with Cognac and decided to start their own Cognac distillery.
The brand has become known as the "jaguar liquor", or the "panther liquor", thanks to its distinctive bottle design. The big cat in question is in fact a puma, and today, with its famous logo, ranks among the most well-known Cognac brands in the world. Its qualities are strength, elegance, sensuality and exotism, the character traits of the puma.
The distillery is housed in Matha in the Charente Maritime, and are particularly celebrated for their VS Cognac, Vanilla Cognac liqueur and 90-Proof Liquor among many others.

Falco peregrinus
We had a wonderful visit to Bend's High Desert Museum and witnessed the exciting Raptors of the Desert Sky presentation. In a remote outdoor area on the Museum grounds, in a cordoned off area, visitors sat on low benches or on the ground. A variety of raptors and owls flew in individually, from several hundred yards away to this cordoned off area. The birds flew around and low over the assembled visitors to various perches on the perimeter to land where food has been placed by a staff person. In a few instances, the tail feathers of the birds grazed a person's head as they flew to a designated perch. A museum curator introduced each bird and provided a running commentary habitat, hunting strategy, place on endangered species list, and annual migration. It was the highlight of my visit to the museum.

Trust the cardinal-duke to upstage the old favourite of Englande, veal and ham pie. And even the newly appellation controlé, Melton Mowbray pork pie.
This particular delicacy
, purchased in April 2011 for a mere €2.50 (including the third slice FREE), shows how his table resonates down the centuries of history.
Maybe it was the gastro-project of one of his descendants - perhaps the voracious third Duke, inventor of Mayonnaise. Wikipedia, as yet, stays silent.
Buying it pre-prepared seems a better bet than cooking it oneself - the collection of ingredients alone would take a morning.
A foie gras core!
BUT it was nice....

CommonGrounds opens a 25,621 square-foot flexible workplace in the heart of Fort Worth's Central Business District
First location in Texas celebrates opening with Boswell High School Drumline
SAN DIEGO, Calif. – September 12, 2019 – CommonGrounds Workplace, a national enterprise-grade Workplace-as-a-Service (WaaS) and coworking company, opens its first Texas location on the ground floor at 702 Houston Street in downtown Fort Worth.
The CommonGrounds' Downtown Fort Worth Workplace is on Houston between 6th and 7th Street, two blocks from Sundance Square and three blocks from the Fort Worth Convention Center. The 25,621 square-foot workplace encompasses the entire ground floor with XTO's multi-story parking garage above. The entry wall features a black and white hand-painted cattle mural by local artist, Marnie Vollenhals, that celebrates Fort Worth's historic stockyard roots. Complementing the modern art in the entry and communal pantry is an 8.5-foot live plant wall that leads to the private workspaces. With windows on all four sides driving an abundance of natural light, the workplace offers spacious private offices, team rooms, and coworking spaces, with four video-enabled conference rooms, several additional casual gathering areas, and an INVITA barista offering Italian coffee beverages. Bike racks and showers are available, and the public transit station a few blocks walk from the workplace
Downtown Fort Worth is the fifth CommonGrounds Workplace location to open in 2019, as part of the company's $140 million Series A funding expansion program. There are now nine CommonGrounds Workplaces open in various U.S. cities with an additional eleven under construction planned for opening later this year into mid-2020.
"Fort Worth has a relatively low number of coworking companies and ranks as one of the fastest-growing cities in the country," said Jacob Bates, chief executive officer for CommonGrounds. "CommonGrounds Workplace will be a welcome addition to the local business community providing a higher quality enterprise-grade flexible workplace solution for their rapidly growing and expanding workforce."
Fort Worth is the 13th-largest city in the United States and the fifth-largest city in Texas according to the Fort Worth Chamber. The City welcomes 9.4 million visitors annually and in recent years, has become a center for industry, technology, distribution, and transportation. Consistently ranked among the top places in the nation to work, live, and do business by Money, Fortune, Site Selection and Newsweek magazines, Fort Worth boasts several advantages that attract and retain companies that include a pro-business city government, a well-educated and work-ready labor force, and a highly competitive cost of living.
"CommonGrounds sound mitigating demountable wall systems offer members the ability to brand and customize their workspaces literally on demand and for 70% less cost and 90% faster than our competitors," stated Bates. "We understand different jobs, and even work styles, require specific layouts to reduce friction and increase productivity, and we want that accessible and affordable to companies of all sizes. Fort Worth is an excellent example of our human-centric design principles and friction-reducing design at work."
The CommonGrounds Workplace in Fort Worth will serve 360 members in various configurations. Each environment is brandable for its members and includes the latest meeting technologies, high-speed dual-provider gigabit network, and top-tier data security. Our workplace has larger phone booths with room for one or two, private retreat rooms, multiple interwoven social gathering spaces, and an abundance of biophilia and light throughout. Work life programming features notable speakers, networking events, lunch and learns, and personal growth and wellness series.
The Boswell High School Drumline performed to celebrate the opening of the workplace and marched from Sundance Square in full uniform two blocks to the workplace in celebration of the grand opening for local businesses, dignitaries and staff. The Boswell High School Drumline is a three-time WGI World Championships World Class Semi Finalist, and a WGI World Championships Open Class Finalist. They have also won the North Texas Indoor Drum Line Championships three times in recent years and participate in community events and celebrations all over the North Texas. The 35-member drumline group has been guided for the past nine years by Stuart Spoon who is also the high school assistant band director.
CommonGrounds in-house design division oversaw the multi-million-dollar renovation, which was executed locally based Pacific Builders, Inc. CommonGrounds in-house design division designed the workplace and the local architect of record was Hahnfeld Hoffer Stanford. Sound abating demountable wall systems are by Tecno (Milan, Italy). Customizable enterprise-grade furniture is by San Francisco-based Pair.
Alycia Medina (503-606-8853) is the Workplace manager and CommonGrounds has hired the local brokers Vic Meyer and Cullen Donohue with Stream realty Partners (817-877-1305).

I tend to notice dogs everywhere I go—perhaps because I work in the dog-training business, I'm hypervigilant to their presence. My observation is this: Dog behavior—or, I should say, dog misbehavior in a social setting is becoming increasingly prevalent. More businesses are becoming "dog friendly," and that is a good thing—the issue begins when establishments are forced to allow access to dogs because of misrepresentation of the dogs' need to be there by dishonest customers and clients.
With so many labels—service dogs, therapy dogs, emotional support dogs—the situation can bevery confusing. I love my dogs, and I believe all dogs provide some level of emotional support ina human/canine relationship. But that emotional bond with you pooch does not give you the right to take him into places where the average dog is not normally allowed. By doing so, you actually risk spoiling dog-friendly access for someone who truly needs a dog present for physical or mental-health disabilities.
From my time as a police officer, one pet peeve that guaranteed you a citation was parking in a designated handicapped spot without the proper designation; claiming "emotional support," "service" or "therapy" status for your dog when it's not truly applicable, likewise, pushes my buttons. This is a touchy subject on many levels, made more complicated because not all disabilities are visually observable. Federal law dictates what types of questions can and can't be asked by police, store owners, managers and others—as such, a lot of gray areas exist and, unfortunately, some people take advantage of that ambiguity.
Doggie Designations
So, what is the difference in the terms used to describe canines who provide help to us?
A service dog is trained to help people with disabilities, such as visual impairments, mental illnesses, seizure disorders or diabetes.
A therapy dog is trained to provide comfort and affection to people in hospice, disaster areas, retirement homes, hospitals, nursing homes, schools and more.
An emotional–support dog provides its owner therapeutic benefits through companionship.
The biggest difference between these designations is the type and amount of training dogs receive. Let's break them down a little further.

I only ever used 7t Generation (A grade) and Now I use both 7th Gen and Rocking Green (which is like making your own powder as it works better in my machine than liquid). for Soap for V i only use this fair trade combo soap that's all natural. It's not cheap but it's good for the environment and it's good for her skin as there are no toxins. Now let's get talking about sunscreen, if it's destroying the coral reefs imagine what that stuff has done to people? It's needed and i have a friend who makes hers but there are great brands out there we use that again are safer while still being protective which you know is important to me with all the skin cancer. YEAH on your laundry girl. I feel like my clothes just smell clean instead of like chemicals.
