America's Best Leaders - Mia Farrow Darfur




Leadership is what we, the sleepy, often self-involved Americans, need to motivate us to do what is right. You have heard the emotional outcry of people demanding that SOMETHING
be done about Darfur. But what can just one individual do?
Feeling helpless and assuming that our government will act on our behalf, we go back to our own comfortable world. Now, clever and dedicated Mia Farrow makes it easier for us to take action with the following list of steps that can make a difference to the little girl in the photo and to all her family.
Imagine how you would feel if your well dried up and then take just one of the following action steps. You may just get some feel-good chills from doing the right thing. You could even save a child's life today..do it right now, only takes a minute. I just called the White House and spoke to a very nice woman who listened and recorded my comment to the President asking that we take action in Darfur. Was so easy and I am told that even a few calls get noticed and do matter to officials. Contact the White House: www.whitehouse.gov/CONTACT/ ( you can send an email to President Obama here) Comment line: 202-456-1111
Forward this to your friends and make a world of difference happen.

Does Your Marriage Need a Tune-Up? Susanne M. Alexander


Author Susanne M. Alexander and her publisher, Jeff Schlesinger of Barringer Publishing





Great information...thought I would share it.




Does Your Marriage Need a Tune-Up?


Susanne M. Alexander, Relationship & Marriage Coach




Sometimes when we’ve been married for a few years, we begin to assume that we fully know our spouse. Our relationship can slip into a routine that has a certain amount of comfort and security in it, but which also can feel somewhat bland and uninteresting. If these statements describe your marriage, then it may be time for some reconnecting measures that bring more life and connection to the two of you.




Please try out the activities below.



Activity 1: Spend time thinking about and sharing stories about what you loved about your courtship days. Identify one activity that you did then, but have stopped doing since the wedding, and begin doing it again. After doing this activity, share your feelings about the experience with one another. What else do you wish to do?


Activity 2: Marriage researcher John Gottman recommends doing “couple maps,” where each spouse on their own draws or writes down what they think they know about their spouse (Seven Principles for Making Marriage Work). Consider aspects such as:
• Everyday life• Wounds in the middle of healing• Upcoming events• Who he/she is striving to be• Priorities• Best friends• Current fears, stresses, and worries• Irritants• Life dreams• Religious beliefs and ideas• Basic philosophy of life• Favorite music, movies, TV shows...• Most special times in life• Childhood trauma/stress• Major aspirations and hopes• Would do with a major sum of money
Share the maps with one another and fill in or correct the details.



Activity 3: Tune up or build new marriage skills by going through a marriage preparation book. You can read portions to one another, discuss the content, do the activities, and generally be in learning mode. This activity can have you recreate the excitement of your courting days as well as rejuvenate your marriage in the present. (New and older books are available at http://www.marriagetransformation.com/).



Becoming complacent about the state of your marriage can be very unwise. Be vigilant and an advocate for the health and well-being of your relationship. As you pay attention to the quality of your bond, you will keep your marriage strong and both of you happy.


Thanks for reading…I welcome hearing from you!
Susanne
