Author Miss Stress Posted June 1, 2008 Author Posted June 1, 2008 Thanks pretty flower You really need to ck out the book! It's so much fun to read. You can read about 50 pgs of it online here, pretty photos and all! You will like. Lots of pretty flowers in Feng Shui! http://books.google.com/books?id=XV9HSxUdqOAC&dq=feng+shui+your+life&pg=PP1&ots=JExTmj1qGb&sig=Ldxsmuy5pto_PS6U5u-9c_-tRcY&hl=en&prev=http://www.google.com/search%3Fsourceid%3Dnavclient%26ie%3DUTF-8%26rlz%3D1T4GGIH_enUS276US276%26q%3Dfeng%2Bshui%2Byour%2Blife&sa=X&oi=print&ct=title&cad=one-book-with-thumbnail ewwww ... long link ... but it's on google books if the link gets pulled. And if you haven't read The Secret ... oh ... that one is also amazing!!!! I'm glad I read it first b/c The Secret also examines the effect of negative and positive energy in our lives. Things that we can't see or think about and how it affects us. For instance, if you are sitting in a restaurant and feel that someone behind you is staring at you and you turn to look and they are! Just b/c we can't see energy, doesn't mean it isn't there. The Secret REALLY examines that theory and Fung Shui just enhances on it and shows you how to bring it in your home. I am very feminine in many ways. Being talented at anything w/n the home environ excluded. So yea for your scrapbooking skills. For me, I see photos, I see big box, photos go in big box, big box go in closet. My decorating skills are about par w/that!!!! ahahahahahahaahaa ... it's sooo sad ;p
yk_2006 Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 If you cut him off for the month to "punish" him you are only punishing yourself. You are in deeper than you want to admit. Although you've accepted his situation and your role in it, you still want more than you are getting. This is human nature. Believe me, I am NO expert here, I have my own post I'm getting ready to start but I can so see other's issues so much better than my own. The extra added attention is a way to keep the hooks in. ONce he gets you to respond to this attention (and let me guess, yours was the last text, etc that went through the cycle--not his) He knows he hasn't lost you in any way so he's going to continue to do his thing. Do what I am going to do right now, give him some distance. Don't be the first one to text, or im or whatever. And when he does text you don't be so quick to grab the phone and respond immediately. Try and keep some of the upper hand. IT sounds to me as if he's playing you right back where he wants you and when something more exciting came along (long weekend, etc.) you weren't in his thoughts. Lets keep tabs on each other. I will be posting mine later today, maybe you can help me with my issue.........Good luck! I gotta agree with you on this one. When you're cutting off someone you care about while going through some rough road, you're actually punishing yourself. In my current relationship, I was feeling as if our relationship felt empty going nowhere. I stopped talking to the guy for a week, it was extremely painful and I was ready to admit that I missed him. It was rewarding in it's own ways, I spent time with myself reflecting on many things in my life without getting distracted. What happens is always for the best. I attended a party with a couple of my friends on the weekend. As we arrived, we walked to the entrance and I bumped into my bf, he was facing back to me. I got nervous but had enough strength to talk to him.
torranceshipman Posted July 9, 2008 Posted July 9, 2008 I am completely perplexed by people saying they dont have role models. There are a million books, internet articles, news stories etc of the most incredible people - alive now, or a 100 or 500 yrs ago that are inspiring beyond belief. Go out and find them! My role models are people I've never met - one in particular camefrom acrossthe world and died when I was two (and was male-so theres another point-gender doesnt come into it with a good role model) - and the amount I am inspired by that person is so great that every time I have an extremely difficult moral choice/choice needing real courage...I think - what would my heroes do? It helps me be a better person, believe in myself, realise how incredible a human can be based on the choices they make....that standing apart from others is a good thing...I can see through these role models that they set themselves apart by real self development, a commitment to doing the right thing steadfastly, great courage, dignity and strength through adversity, reasoned action....you get the point. And I read about these people in books, nothing more, but theyve profoundly impacted my life...and I have a great life! Noone turned me onto these books, just takes a little digging. I think you should go out there and dig and dig until you find people and things that inspire you.
