Please keep Pauline in your thoughts and prayers, and ask God to lay His healing hands upon her now and make her well.

Next the Newsletter Team would like to send our prayers out to our very own Team Mate MS MONICA S. Monica has been dealing with some issues recently here at ALP that are causing her to have a heavy heart and mind. Monica has asked for people to pray and ask God to give her the strength she needs to deal with the problems at hand. Please keep Monica in your thoughts and prayers. The Team loves you Monica, and we are all here for you.

If you know of someone that needs praying for please send us the information and we will add them to our prayer list in the next Newsletter. Thank you.

Be Inspired

by Drª Venerina Conti

According to the Edgar Cayce readings, what is the essence of the spiritual path for each soul? In other words, what is the journey of the soul?

Well, in essence, the journey and the whole point of the soul is to learn, and grow, in order to earn its right to return to the Source and sit by the side of the Creator.

Edgar Cayce’s readings are quite eastern in philosophical thought. He is, in fact, essentially responsible for awakening western culture to the notion of reincarnation.

In eastern culture, the concept of reincarnation has been around for centuries. The Vedic scriptures proclaim that a soul will incarnate, several times, on earth in order to restore balance within its, very, karmic nature. In other words it is believed that the soul carries with it its own karma. Karma is, essentially, a concept that adheres to the belief that actions have consequences and that we are repaid with what we pay out. The belief is that we will be treated by the way we treat others and that we will receive what we give out. Karma is not, necessarily, related to the deeds themselves but the belief patterns behind the deeds.

THE POETRY CORNER


profile pic

In this issue of the Newsletter we are featuring another one of Adlands poets, MRS. SHIRLEY CARON. Shirley has received a lot of Recognition and High Achievement Awards. Editors Choice Awards, Trophies, Gold Medal of Excellence, and Certificates are just a few. I was delighted to have the opportunity to interview with her.

Q. Shirley, Thank you for taking the time to interview with us. When did you begin writing poetry, who or what first inspired you?

A. I am quite honored to have been selected to be in September's Newsletter! I started Writing Poetry when I was 25 years Old, about 35 years ago, and to date, I have written over 100 poems and several songs. I had been through some hardships and horrific events that happened to me and my son, George Jr., because of his Father (my Ex-Husband, George) and I just needed to write it all down on paper. I had so many different emotions that I went through the 16 Years that I was married to the animal, I came close to having a complete nervous breakdown. I had several Epileptic seizures all the years that I was with him. I would not say that he was an Inspiration to me writing poetry, but I just had such a need to get all the built up feelings inside of me, out in the open. I am shedding tears at this time.

Q. You have written some great poetry. Where do you get your current inspirations?

A) My Husband, Mike, has been the Person to Inspire me to keep Writing Poetry and to keep sending my Poetry into Contests. I am so grateful to the Good Lord and my Husband, Mike for watching over me and taking good care of me and I always thank the Good Lord for my Rare Talent of Writing Poetry and for a Beautiful Voice with which to Sing His Praise and Glory to all!!!

Here is one of my Favorite Poems, "A Touch of Beauty", which has also been Recorded as a Song!

A TOUCH OF BEAUTY
By Shirley Ruth Caron
Copyrighted 2002

The Sun shines bright with it's Golden Hue It's Domain is the Sky - so Azure Blue The Mountains with their Majestic Peaks stretching towards the Heavens above, Soaring high above the Earth is a Snow-white Dove

The Unrelenting Ocean with it's Never-ending Tide As each rushes into shore - against the boulders it does collide The Depths of the Sea is the Fish's Domain In this Fluid Wonderland they will always remain

The Trees stand tall, and their branches sway to and fro During the Winter, it is a sight to behold when they are draped with Snow In Autumn, the Leaves are speckled with Amber, Brown, and Red Slowly, through the Season, the Leaves begin to shed.

Thank you Shirley for the wonderful Poem! It has been a pleasure Interviewing with you and getting to know you better.

God Bless!

Jokes



Talking Dog for Sale

This guy sees a sign in front of a house "Talking Dog for Sale." He rings the bell and the owner tells him the dog is in the back yard. The guy goes into the backyard and sees a mutt sitting there.

"You talk?" he asks.

"Yep," the mutt replies.

"So, what's your story?"

The mutt looks up and says, "Well, I discovered this gift pretty young and I wanted to help the government, so I told the CIA about my gift, and in no time they had me jetting from country to country, sitting in rooms with spies and world leaders, cause no one figured a dog would be eavesdropping. I was one of their most valuable spies eight years running.

"The jetting around really tired me out, and I knew I wasn't getting any younger and I wanted to settle down. So I signed up for a job at the airport to do some undercover security work, mostly wandering near suspicious characters and listening in. I uncovered some incredible dealings there and was awarded a batch of medals. Had a wife, a mess of puppies, and now I'm just retired."

The guy is amazed. He goes back in and asks the owner what he wants for the dog. The owner says "Ten dollars."

The guy says he'll buy him, but asks the owner, "This dog is amazing. Why on earth are you selling him for $10?"

The owner replies, "He's such a liar."


Football Wedding

Two guys are talking about their boss's upcoming wedding. One says, "It's ridiculous, he's rich, but he's 93 years old, and she's just 26! What kind of a wedding is that?"

The other says, "Well, we have a name for it in my family."

"What do you call it?"

"We call it a football wedding."

The first asks, "What's a football wedding?"

The other says, "She's waiting for him to kick off!"

Rose Enderud has really done a wonderful job on the 18th Art Exhibition. The featured artist is Sara Gardner Blow for your viewing pleasure. Sara has been a member of Adlandpro since May 2006. She works in a variety of mediums and is a lovely talented member of our community.

Sara is from South Alabama. She never had any formal training, but her work is wonderful, and she works in so many different mediums. There is a charm in her work that is hypnotizing. You really have to see it to appreciate the scope of this woman's talent.

Her dad was a farmer and her mom worked along side him, so Art School was out of the question. "To be able to create something was and still is, very exciting. Just to have a thought and write it down, or have a vision and paint it, whether it be on canvas, a wall, a t-shirt, paper, or even cardboard is a joy to see it come alive." She has done many, many pieces and shows.

"Since retirement, I paint or write for the simple joy of it. My testimony in life is to spread God's word through the gifts He has given me. I find little time now to actually paint, my work consists of promoting the many, many works of art already created." Sara is really enjoying every minute now and it sure does shows. She has mentioned that animations have caught her attention and how it's fun to create them. Please go visit Sara's Art exhibition...you will be so glad you did!

You can also visit Sara's website to see more of her artwork, or visit her Sara's Poetry site to read some of beautiful poems.

If you are looking for a Smile, a Laugh or an Inspiration for the Day, you will find it all here at the Inspirational & Jokes Forum by BJ Burgess. Bj has been a member of Adlandpro for 7 months and has made many friends. She provides us not only with Humor and Love in her forum, but also with "Word of the Day". I had the chance to interview BJ, and this is what she had to say.

Q) I have visited your Inspirational & Jokes Forum many times. Can you tell us how you came up with the idea for this forum?

A) I like doing the jokes because I enjoy making people laugh. I'm a fun loving type of person, and I enjoy seeing people happy. It really does my heart good to know I have put a smile on someones face. I also enjoy inspirational articles, because I believe they help alot of people to accomplish something they thought they couldn't. It helps to give people some inspiration because it makes them stop and think.

Q) Do you have any tips or suggestions for someone who is thinking of starting a new forum, and how to make it successful?

A) Well, you have to find something that everyone is interested in. Not too many people are interested in coming to look at alot of advertisements. You have to spice it up, give them something they want. Something that will make them want to keep coming back. Now that is the trick!

Q) Is there anything that you would like to add about, such as how your experience has been here at Adlandpro?

A) I would say, I never knew joining a Classfied Ad site would be so much fun. I thought it was just a place to advertise your business. Boy was I wrong. I've met alot of wonderful people here, and it's like my home away from home. I don't regret it one bit. But, I will say this, if someone had told me to come and join because you'll have fun there, I wouldn't have believed them.

Thank you BJ for allowing us to interview you.

If Bj is not on your friends list, please invite her. Here is her Link
