Motivate, inspire and educate with passion – a high-minded concept, a worthy endeavor. Live it. Learn it. Share it. But how really does one actualize this noble ideal within confines constructed by the complicated realities of our present day world?

Spirituality is the Softer Easier Way

By Marilyn Redmond

Living in domestic violence with its abuse and growing up in domestic violence that continued the cruelty, made my life hell.  There were a few times, I wanted out of this nightmare.

During Thanksgiving eve and day, I finally could not take his threats to kill me any longer.  I was so distraught that I took my cache of Valium prescribed by my psychiatrist at the time and left with no thoughts of returning home.  I was not calling out for help, I was not looking for attention, and it was not a game. I did not know how to live in the anguish any longer.  After a few pills and a few phone calls, I was very dazed and went unconscious.

5 days without a television

January 27th, 2010

Last Friday evening I had a wonderful dinner with a friend who shared with me that when she and her husband met years ago they had one television set in their home and a small black and white one in the closet outside.  They rarely watched television and when the main TV broke they did not replace it.  Instead if something was important enough for them to want to watch it, they would go outside and pull the small black and white television from the closet, hook it up and have to sit close enough to see the picture on the miniature screen.  Years later they have a television but mainly watch movies on their computer instead of TV shows.  During this conversation I realized how much I had fallen back on having the TV on in the background recently and that my productivity was decreasing as days passed.  I decided right then and there to cut out television totally from my daily life and I voiced my intention to my friend who supported me in my endeavor.
