No other legal document exists that will explicitly state your wishes when it comes to the decision of providing life prolonging treatment if you cannot provide such wishes on your own. Without such a document in place, deep emotional and legal problems can occur: You may be kept alive longer than you want — or let die before you want.<hr /><p><small>Original article published at <a href="www.mynaturalawakenings.com">Natural Awakenings Space & Treasure Coast Florida</a></small></p>urn:uuid:df00cac9-bf4c-4123-9543-18b24d8d47652019-08-22T12:36:08-04:002019-08-22T12:36:08-04:00Home School Online Anytime2011-04-11 22:14:00 -0400AnonymousNew regulations in the Florida public schools say your child will receive a special diploma if they cannot pass the tenth grade FCAT.

Does it mean you just celebrated an occasion that had you cheering and shouting the words, "Happy New Year," and now it’s over until next year? Or does it literally mean "Be Happy, it is a New Year?" What ever it may mean for you, it will only take on the meaning you choose to give it.<hr /><p><small>Original article published at <a href="www.mynaturalawakenings.com">Natural Awakenings Space & Treasure Coast Florida</a></small></p>urn:uuid:c3a4823e-92b4-4079-bb9b-a52ee2e3a2dd2019-08-22T12:36:04-04:002019-08-22T12:36:04-04:00Magnetizing Money2011-04-09 15:56:00 -0400AnonymousWhat would it be like to be a money magnet and to actually attract a lot of money?

How am I going to get through this? What am I going to do now? Am I losing my mind? Grievers experience many different feelings, physical sensations, thoughts and behaviors surrounding grief, some of them unfamiliar. They sometimes think something is wrong with them. Often people feel like they "just can't get it together." They feel like they are not themselves. And they aren't.
