www.breatheagainmagazine.com: No Support!

Dear Friend,

Have you ever said," the people around me don't appreciate me."

It seems like the people we work the hardest for show little or no appreciation for what you do.

Can you relate?

If so, you are not alone, I have said those same words on more than a few occasions. It seems as if the more you do, the less people care.

I had to learn a very valuable lesson recently.

Most of my ideas are "the best ideas in the world", so I think.
Everyone should get on board, show support and just change the world. After all, it's the "right" thing to do.

NOT!

My pastor once told me, "Everyone is not going to believe in your dream or want to help with your dream."

That statement is so true. After all, it is my dream. I've had to learn that the hard way. The people you think will jump on board and help will most likely NOT be the ones that will assist you. Some don't provide ANY support and some start off with you, but slowly fade away and lose interest. Don't get mad, accept it for what it is and move on. And you definately don't want anyone helping you that doesn't believe in your vision - they will just hinder you.

The majority of the support will come from outsiders. People not in your inner circle. Those you don't even know.

My Lesson

If you don't initially receive the support you need, go to THE source and ask for support. He won't return your call, serve on your committee, nor return any of your emails. But he WILL answer your prayers and send you Godly counsel and wisdom.

Go to THE source, which is God and he will send you THE SUPPORT you need. He did it for me.

Blessings,

Nicole

Fish pedicures: Carp rid human feet of scaly skin

ALEXANDRIA, Va. (AP) - Ready for the latest in spa pampering? Prepare to dunk your tootsies in a tank of water and let tiny carp nibble away.

Fish pedicures are creating something of a splash in the D.C. area, where a northern Virginia spa has been offering them for the past four months. John Ho, who runs the Yvonne Hair and Nails salon with his wife, Yvonne Le, said 5,000 people have taken the plunge so far.

"This is a good treatment for everyone who likes to have nice feet," Ho said.
