Cherish Children! June is Children's Awareness Month and June 1st is International Children's Day. Promote peace and understanding of children's needs and uniqueness.
I really didn't want to trouble anyone about my difficulties but I want to thank all of you who have written or sent cards giving your support. I would like to be able to write to each of you individually, but I still get tired quite quickly, so I hope you don't mind a single letter.
I have been overwhelmed by your friendship and good wishes. I'm not quite sure why I deserve all of this, but I consider myself to be so very, very lucky to know such kind and caring people. It does mean an awful lot to me and you will all remain in my heart forever.
The good news is that I have now been referred to the UK's top specialist in London. Hopefully this, combined with some new medications, will help to find a stronger way forward. The bad news is that I will be taking a "break" from things for a while longer. Please know that although you won't see me as often in the Chat Rooms or the Boards, I will still be with you every step of the way in spirit and will be back with you all as soon as possible.
Like me, just keep smiling, laughing and enjoying life to the full for there is always that silver lining waiting inside the cloud!
Thank you all again for being so wonderful.
Lots of hugs to all of you from your English friend, Kailah xxxx

For attractive lips, speak words of kindness.
For lovely eyes, seek out the good in people.
For a slim figure, share your food with the hungry.
For beautiful hair, let a child run his
fingers through it once a day.
For poise, walk with the knowledge
that you'll never walk alone.
The tender loving care of human beings
will never become obsolete.
People, even more than things, have to be
restored, renewed, revived, reclaimed and
redeemed and redeemed and redeemed.
Never throw out anybody.
And remember, if you ever need a helping hand,
you'll find one at the end of your arm.
As you grow older, you will discover that you
have two hands: one for helping yourself, the
other for helping others.
Your "good old days" are still ahead of you.
May you have many of them.

* Become Willing To Heal Your Heart *
We don't open our hearts by being a tower of strength. We don't open our
hearts by glossing over things in our head. We open our hearts by feeling
what we feel. We open our hearts by being vulnerable, honest, and gentle.
We've become so strong, so self-sufficient. I can deal with that, we say,
no big deal. I'll keep moving on.
Yet many circumstances we've been through, and some we're going through now,
cause break lines in our heart. Some of the fractures are small. Some are big.
They really hurt. Maybe certain people in our lives weren't there for
us, aren't there for us now in a way we'd like them to be. Maybe some
deceived us unconsciously or betrayed us deliberately. I can deal with
that, we say. I understand. They have their own issues. I forgive...
Yes, people do have their own issues. And we do forgive. But now it may
be time to learn gentleness, compassion, understanding,
and forgiveness for ourselves as well.
We don't open our hearts by ignoring the break lines.
Yes, Im ready to heal my heart

There is no shortage of opportunity. Every day presents every person with countless opportunities to be, or do, or create whatever is desired.Yet few people ever take advantage of the opportunities that come their way. Not because they don't want to, but because they're unable to. Because they are not adequately prepared.We often look at highly successful people, and conclude that their success is the result of being "in the right place at the right time." While that is true, it was not random good fortune that put them there. It was preparation that helped them to see the opportunity in the first place, and then to make the most of that opportunity.Preparation is not usually fun or exciting. It can be tedious and unfulfilling in the short term. Yet it is absolutely essential. To enjoy success, you must discipline yourself, day after day, to develop your skills, increase your knowledge, make Ralph Marston
Recently I have started the third, and most likely final, career of my life. I am now a Family
Services Councellor with Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens. I would like to let you know of
the following upcoming event.
Please join
Father Dariusz Zarebski
for a special luncheon to unveil
the new Bronze Memorial in the
Garden of Prayer at
Cedar Valley Memorial Gardens.
Located at 2347 Cedar Road
on June 23rd at 1:00 pm
Should you require any additional information or directions, please call me (Sharon) at (250) 722-2244.
Wild Lilac Boutique is the supplier of the items for sale and they have
offered The World Wide Web Circle of Friends 20% (of the total sales) in
free merchandise. This "free" merchandise will be distributed as Random
Acts of Kindness to members of our Circle of Friends.
Please use the code WWWCOF when placing an order so that the merchandise credit
is applied to this Circle of Friends' "not for profit" venture.
Please, please, please support this and place an order soon as we have a few members who
definately are in need of a display of Random Acts of Kindness from the rest of us!
To date we have an $8.00 credit.
All of the products are 100% guaranteed and the prices quoted are in Canadian $$$ so for our members, in the United States,
for example, if you purchased $20.00 worth of Candles from Ildi ....... that is only approximately $13.02 in US $$$
(shipping extra). If you are ordering candles, etc. as gifts for friends or family Ildi will
be happy to ship these directly to their address which will save you the expense of having
them mailed to you and you having to mail them. Isn't she wonderful!
I will be watching for information from all of
you as to who we should be extending extra special support to. We have already mailed out
candles to Pami and Lois. I feel this is a very exciting,
noble and rewarding venture for us.
I asked God for a flower, he gave me a garden.
I asked God for a tree, he gave me a forest.
I asked God for a friend, he gave me YOU.
"There is not enough darkness in the world to put out the light of one candle."
