When I made myself progress forward to procure a puppy, each time that I would call about the one I picked, it had just been sold. One exasperated breeder stated that perhaps I should send a deposit to which I responded, “When its time I’ll know.”<br />I watched endless months of weekly photos, daily puppy updates, videos and rescue webcams. Nothing! I really didn’t even care because my heart still mourned to my core and my tears still flowed. However, I felt compelled to keep watching the updates no matter how upset they made me feel.<br />Then this fluffy little fur ball dragging a LARGE stuffed toy in his mouth ran gleefully zoom zoom across my computer screen. My heart quickened. I must have watched, rewatched and memorized that video hundreds of times. I “felt” him in my soul (sign 1). I called, he was available albeit 2500 miles away. I thought too far to fly the little fellow with stopovers. (Sign 2) as the Universe would have it, the airline carrier added a holiday non stop flight from that area to our airport, so now I had no excuses. I had been unencumbered for years now and a new pup, well…………………<br />I talked to and questioned the puppy's guardian till she was probably really tired of me. In one conversation, she jokingly referred to him as “bad boy.” I asked why. She stated that he had what looked like a B on his right hip and would send me a photo. (Sign 3) the image sent chills up my spine and all my friends into a chorus of “what don’t you get?” He was already spoken for at a higher level then any of us knew at that time. It was as if God had assigned an Angel to monogram my signature on his hip so I wouldn’t be so “human” as to not understand that this dog was meant to be mine.<br />With a weary heart, afraid and excited I met him at the airport VERY Apprehensive! What if I had the wrong pup and we didn't connect? I had never picked a puppy from a distance. He launched out of his crate and immediately sat all 7 pounds of 9 weeks old fluff right down in front of me. He looked up and stared directly into my eyes as if to say where have you been? Now let’s get on with our life. Then he hopped into my arms and slept all the way to my house that had now become our home.<br />I named him Friend. He responded to his “old” name without missing a beat. He knew where his bed was, recognized his past life toys and gathered them into his same toy spot where they were supposed to be! He did not even inspect the new toys, he wanted HIS toys! He talks, hugs, and does all the things all my soul dogs “did.” When I look into his eyes we never left one another. He is my “baby dog,” my best Friend. When my heart asked where have you been, his spirit replied: I had to exchange my old body for this new one so I could be in your life again. At 10 weeks old he knew and responded to all the old dog’s commands, no training was necessary. He’s my old adult dog with few puppy moments except he runs at “wide open”, is learning how to operate those new feet and is a chewing machine!<br />Even Mikey our senior cat recognized this 90 day reincarnate. She had lived with Friend and Electra. She slept on Friend’s grave for the longest time. It was like a class reunion. They knew they knew each other before but didn’t know how to act now. Mikey instigated head bumps, a game of tag with a playful paw bat, and she nonchalantly weaves back and forth under Friend’s stomach before she cleans his ears. They can be seen intertwined in the late afternoon sun napping. Sometime “His puppyhood” is exasperated as how to handle his feline buddy.<br />I am blessed to have gentle paw pads stroking my face to awaken me each morning. All the eccentric little habits, routines, traits, favorite toys, foods, spots and tricks known only to my soul is back in my world in another earthly “monogrammed” fur form as Friend.

Or are you studying on the sidelines and always planning for the game of life? Are you the bridesmaid and never the bride? You’ve watched the Secret, know about the Law of Attraction, understand quantum physics and the entanglement theories of “What the Bleep do We Know?”, subscribed to Notes from the Universe (TUT.com), went to an Esther Hicks Abraham workshop, done Donna Eden and Emotional Freedom Techniques (EFT), watched Oprah and Dr Ohmet Oz, read all Dr Phil’s and Bryon Katies’ insightful books, taken all Adam the Dream Healer workshops, and been to Michael Beckwith, James Ray, Ray Cantfield, Bob Proctor, Lisa Williams’ positive thinking seminars, created your vision board, and still aren’t having the life you envisioned. Do you feel “stuck” in your rut “just existing”? Make a New Year’s resolution to live your life, no longer as the studious observer event planner, forever the participatory player!<br />Stop "processing" and start "progressing!"<br />Although you’ve read, understood, examined, analyzed, justified and explained everything you’ve processed in your mind, have you done anything about it? Many times on a spiritual, self help, self growth, or self development journey you feel you have gifts, talents, opportunities and options that you are not using. You believe that you are here to benefit others or know inside yourself that you came to have a different life. However, with your very busy life of career and social activities, lessons, classes, readings, experiential workshops, seminars, and lectures you still are not actually moving forward in life. You feel like you just exist.<br /><br />Stop "processing" and start "progressing!"<br /><br />Do you feel like you have read and done everything that you can? Do you keep telling yourself you are moving forward, yet forward resembles a gerbil on a spinning wheel? Then you’re in “processing” mode. “Processing” is about reading, watching, listening to, mulling over and analyzing lots of material whether in educational, career, or social venues, experiential activities or just conversations with your friends. Even great dreams at night constitute sub conscious processing.<br /><br />If you’re thinking about a New Year’s resolution, altering and living a few words in your vocabulary will bring productive changes into your life. “IF” is a tiny word with huge ramifications. “IF” suggests a probability, not a current now factual happening. IF I do this or that, sets up "never never" land thinking. “If” used for planning stages allows hypothetical thinking that can be changed to become an actual event. “IF” is part of the processing mode.<br /><br />“WHEN” I do so and so. “When” is also processing verbiage. “When” begets more data gathering or discussions and sometimes hollow intentions before your “rubber hits the road.” Facts you process in the “when” stage usually contribute to and help create the action of going forward in your life. “When” also hypothetical thinking explores what you could, would or ought to do or rather do, rather than claiming “I AM” doing this!<br /><br />Example: You want to go to Paris. Reading brochures, studying French, learning current currency rates, having your passport made, is all about processing your intended trip. Buying the plane ticket is “progressing” because you’ve moved out of your fact finding “processing” to ACT!Your ACTION sets your trip in motion. Your action makes your trip intention concrete and not just a discussion forum, an analytical educational analysis, or a hypothetical dream.<br /><br />“Progressing” in life is “I AM” going to the gym (within a specified timeframe that very day).<br />Deciding which gym is the best, what exercise do I need to focus on, how many days should I exercise, which tennis shoes do I wear, are all active choice making ingredients borne within your journey’s progression. While living and doing activities, various participation choices, on the spot decision making, fact gathering, assessments and evaluative dialog is progressing, because you make the choice and act on it immediately.<br /><br />Learning by doing is progressing. Processing includes studying, assessing and following thru on your cumulative fact findings derived from your ‘IF” or “When” hypothetical while you are experiencing.<br />Progressing includes using “when” or “if” as a research tool to understand how to accomplish or maximize what you ARE currently doing.<br /><br />You won’t flourish with a new life if you just nourish your dreams with abstract thinking, analytical “what if’s” and “when I” planning. Actions make your thoughts progressing realities. Even if you choose a wrong “action” you are progressing with the “learning opportunity” you created from your choice. Processing and hollow intentions keeps your life in remission. Processing is participatory practice of intention at the highest level. You’re always the understudy learning and planning how to act the part, but never being on the stage of life. You are the perpetual understudy, not the actor. Progressing is living action; evolving, expanding and learning no matter where each choice or experience in your life’s journey takes you! Life is what you choose to do breath by breath. Be all you are and can be, not one iota less.<br /><br />Feel free to reprint this article in its original formatContact Information:Brent Atwater, Medical Intuitive Diagnosis, Healer, Author, Artist, Visionary and PhilanthropistJust Plain Love™ Books <a href="http://www.brentatwaterbooks.com/">www.BrentAtwaterbooks.com</a><br />Office: 1.910.692.5206 USA Mobile: 1.404.242.9022 USAWebsite: <a href="http://www.brentatwater.com/" target="_blank">http://www.brentatwater.com/</a>Email: <a href="mailto:Brent@BrentAtwater.com">mailto:Brent@BrentAtwater.com</a><br /><br />Disclaimer: Brent Atwater collaborates with and participates in ongoing energy medicine and intuitive diagnostic medical research, and independent case studies with the world's leading doctors, physicians, researchers, scientists, and medical facilities, helping to create evidence based research that documents the bridging of traditional and alternative healthcare into integrative medicine.

I had to summon all my "heart" to handle the various states of disrupted life. Right then and there I decided that a positive Light needed to shine on these struggling souls, so new to earth and so old to disease and ravaged by procedures and treatments. I decided that I was going to find a way to provide a positive spin on all of this negative and to provoke a muffled laugh, instigate a tiny smile, a mischievous giggle or just a change to add a sparkle to a weary eye. AND I was going to "hug" each patient by filling them with a sense of pride in themselves for having endured their own health battle, and provide a tangible and intangible way to honor and celebrate their courage! </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Just Plain Love™ Charitable Trust was born in 1987. . </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.brentatwaterbooks.com/BOOK_CHLD_SH_ENTRANCE.htm">Children's Health, Development & Healing Books</a> For the past 20 years I have researched, tested, rewritten and reworked these books according to the responses from their healthy and unhealthy readers. It is my dream to inspire the creative imagination of readers of all ages to replace negative thoughts about health issues and experiences with a positive "spin" on their journey to health and wellness. I want each book about "hands off" subjects to be a gateway of communication between the patient, their caregivers, family and friends. These books offer an integrative form of pediatric medicine that evokes each reader's imagination to triumph over negative events so their soul and emotions are in a place of inner peace and emotional wellness no matter what their human body's condition. </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left"><a href="http://www.brentatwaterbooks.com/JPL%20PRODUCTIONS%20ENTRANCE.htm">Just Plain Love</a><a href="http://www.brentatwaterbooks.com/JPL%20PRODUCTIONS%20ENTRANCE.htm">™ </a><a href="http://www.brentatwaterbooks.com/JPL%20PRODUCTIONS%20ENTRANCE.htm">Productions</a> Surely, I thought, there could be mini skits/plays, lasting about 10 or 15 minutes that would hold a patient's attention, entertain and educate while imbuing each with a few moments of mental relief through laughter, and a tangible trophy to reward and honor their courage. So I translated my Just Plain Love™ books into mini plays/skits that can be performed by hospital, healthcare and medical facility volunteers or staff in the pediatric wards. It is intent, my dream, and I ask for any and all assistance to develop training manuals, instructional CD's or DVD's that will help teach others how to promote and produce these skits and plays, so children world wide can have a moment of laughter that honor's their journey and celebrates their courage and stamina! </div><div align="left"> </div><div align="left">Enjoy our site! <a href="http://www.brentatwaterbooks.com/">www.BrentAtwaterBooks.com</a> </div><br />Contact information:<br />Brent Atwater<br />Box 475<br />Southern Pines, NC 28388<br />NC Phone: 910.692.5206<br />ATL Phone: 404.242.9022<br />E mail: Brent@BrentAtwater.com<br />Web site: http://www.BrentAtwater.comBrent Atwaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10525519189900423603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15990834.post-19809361146878825132007-07-07T21:27:00.000-04:002007-07-07T21:28:43.768-04:00Come visit out new website <a href="http://www.brentatwaterbooks.com/">www.BrentAtwaterBooks.com</a><br /><br /><br />Contact information:<br />Brent Atwater<br />Box 475<br />Southern Pines, NC 28388<br />NC Phone: 910.692.5206<br />ATL Phone: 404.242.9022<br />E mail: Brent@BrentAtwater.com<br />Web site: http://www.BrentAtwater.comBrent Atwaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10525519189900423603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15990834.post-1134259067906156402005-12-10T18:57:00.000-05:002005-12-10T18:57:47.920-05:00Tips for Helping Remove Anxiety, Depression and Stress Over Lost Loved Ones During The Holidays<br /><br />During the Holidays, when family and closeness is a premium on everyone's mind, there are those of us who do not have loved ones in our lives, as they have departed. In my years as a Medical Intuitive and Intuitive Energy Healer, the holidays bring an increased amount of physical and emotional malaise to people due to the fact that depression sets into our psyche if our world is less than we want, and that imbalanced energy, in turn, triggers the body to respond and manifest physical "illness".<br /><br />Below is a compilation of situations that help you alleviate your "lost love" scars, and offers ideas on how to turn your anxiety, depression, stress and pain into positive attitudes and actions by being another person's joy.<br /><br />Let's address your environment. You might have the biggest space in your office, the fanciest house on your street, but your world is still empty. For every room that is empty in your house, take presents to a home that only has one room. For office space that leaves you asking "is this all there is?", go meet the employees who work pay check to paycheck and take them out to lunch, or take the time to get to know that person that you pass everyday and don't even know their name. It may not seem important to you, but you will have enriched the life of another individual by listening to what they have to say, by validating their existence, or by showing that you care about what is going on in their life, environment and home. You can dispel your emptiness by filling up their life with your care.<br />How about family "problems" that starts with your husband or wife. Perhaps during this tense social season, y'all fight over whose family to visit or which party to attend. Orphans have no family choices, so give to those where you have pain.............. BE a family for an orphan, so that you add a family life where life was taken from others. Then your family will be a healing unit, and will hopefully give you a new perspective. Take the widow or widower to lunch or invite them to your celebrations, help create happiness and inspire giggles where there is isolation and depression.<br /><br />And don't forget those who had hopes of a "family" that never came to pass, as their loved one was lost to an auto accident, a war, or through disease. Their hearts are dying a thousand times in memory of what "could have been" during this holiday season. Not only did they loose a loved one, they also lost the hope they had, and the opportunity to experience their dream before it became a reality. Try to include these folks in your holiday plans, even though they protest....... it will help them re enter social functions, and remind their soul that there is life, and hope and dreams after death.<br /><br />Then there are the children who lost parents. The following is taken from the book the "Heavenly Express for MY Daddy". It's a child's conversation with her Mother after the loss of her Father.<br />Mommy,<br />"Can we hear him when he talks to us?" "Sit very still, be very quiet, and listen with your heart. You can always hear Daddy in your heart. You will hear his laughter, and how much he misses you....""How will we ever hug each other again?"<br />"That's easy, put both of your hands on your heart, and close your eyes, and you can feel Daddy's hug. It feels like pouring a warm shower of love all over your body." "How can I talk to him or get his advice?"<br />"You can talk out loud to him, or thru your heart. Just because you can't see his Soul, doesn't mean he's not there. Daddy is like the sun. When you can't see it, you always know it's still there! Daddy will ALWAYS be there to listen to whatever you have to say and to give you advice, no matter what! Your Daddy's special answers are just for you, and are delivered directly thru YOUR heart"<br /> <br />Suggest to those that lost parents to ask their deceased parents about those holidays quandaries through their heart and suggest that they share holiday comments too!!! Being on the other side of the veils will not hamper that parental advice at all!<br /><br />When a person is missing the special warm hugs and love that only a grandmother or grandfather can give, suggest that they Dress up as Mrs. Claus, and go hug every child that is an orphan, and not only has no grandmother, but has no mother................ Suggest they go to an oncology ward, or nursing home and just hug people who others have not hugged. I visited my 101-year-old grandmother, and met her 96-year-old friend Rose. After I hugged Rose, she said that was the first hug she had received in the 10 years after her husband died. The last hug she received was from her minister.........at her husband's funeral............<br />SO go hug!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! MANY need just a hug to turn their day or life around.<br /><br />And don't forget the deceased pets, which are part of the extended family. Take the presents that you were going to give Muffy, Fluffy or Horace and give it to the Humane Society, animal rescue or the local pet shelter. Although you may still be grieving, your gift will create joy for a living pet or animal, and add to their life. Pets grieve too. Perhaps your contribution will even help a pet keep on keeping on, until they are chosen to be part of a family.<br /><br />When you take your pain, and turn it into doing something nice for someone else, your attention shifts away from you, and the heartfelt gratitude you receive from others, if only for a split second, takes away your pain, personal anxiety, stress and depression. So, make your heart scars less heavy, and your love stars a little brighter for the lives of someone less fortunate than you.<br /> Feel free to reprint this article in its original format.<br /><br /><br />Contact information:<br />Brent Atwater<br />Box 475<br />Southern Pines, NC 28388<br />NC Phone: 910.692.5206<br />ATL Phone: 404.242.9022<br />E mail: <a href="mailto:Brent@BrentAtwater.com">Brent@BrentAtwater.com</a><br />Web site: <a href="http://www.BrentAtwater.com">http://www.BrentAtwater.com</a>Brent Atwaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10525519189900423603noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-15990834.post-1127185890027436242005-09-19T23:08:00.000-04:002005-09-19T23:11:30.026-04:00<a href="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7931/1485/1600/Bar%20Amos%20Redo1.gif"><img style="FLOAT: left; MARGIN: 0px 10px 10px 0px; CURSOR: hand" alt="" src="http://photos1.blogger.com/blogger/7931/1485/320/Bar%20Amos%20Redo1.gif" border="0" /></a><br /><strong>Just Plain Love™ Productions for Child Development and Healing</strong><br />are interactive and experiential plays and entertainment programs created for children who are in hospitals and healthcare facilities.

Faithful and loyal Barney, refused to leave his friend, until Benji was buried. Since that time, Barney never left Mary's side. To Brent, Barney exemplifies, "Just plain Love!!! ". Since 1987 he has been our official mascot. In the slides you'll see Barney with The Honorable Governor of NC Terry Sanford, with children, in his red silk bow tie for those "special" occasions, and Barney examining products. Barney is in Heaven now, and represented by his portrait. May God Bless Barney and all his contributions to those he touched with lots of <strong>"Just Plain Love"! </strong><br /><strong>Brent Atwater</strong><br /><strong><a href="http://www.brentatwater.com">www.brentatwater.com</a></strong><br /><strong><br />Visit: <a href="http://www.brentatwater.com/JUST%20PLAIN%20LOVE%20Children">http://www.brentatwater.com/JUST%20PLAIN%20LOVE%20Children</a></strong>Brent Atwaterhttp://www.blogger.com/profile/10525519189900423603noreply@blogger.com
