The old saying, “Do we see the cup half full or half empty?” is hugely powerful when we learn to take the trash in our minds out and replace it with the blessings. We have been taught by society that beauty is on the outside no matter how many times we have ‘heard’ that it is on the inside. We are told from childhood that we are what we make of life but at the same time the world and unhappy people around us tell us that we will never amount to anything in the way that they sneer and look judgingly toward us.

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.
