Ennui & Bunion, sounds like a good name for a store. No idea what they sell but I think I would check it out.

Really comfortable chairs in a lackluster dark environment where one can sit around be circular about their depression, about the fact that they can't walk.

ps, they also sell ottomans.

And afghans.

Do you have those moments that you're reading news and chancing upon something so improbable, or outrageaous, or both, and just thinking: no way...and then parking it in the back of your mind, like this is never going to happen anyway.

Well, remember that separate nursery thing for children from poor and middle class/rich families (few pages back)? Yes. This morning it was a small and quick news item, bam, and gone. I had to listen again to check. The first time it was proposed (last month) it caused such a row and now...it's already being implemented.

Day care costs are going up (link). People on wellfare for example will go from paying €1,56/day to €5/day. Working families can get back part of this money in filing it with the annual income taxes. Non-working families can't, because they don't work. They'll pay the extra expense, at their own expense.

Basically this is telling unemployed people that: Hey, you're sitting around at home all day anyway, stop clogging our systems needlessly (there are long waiting lists for child care) and take care of your children yourself.

And that's ok if you want that, if that is your choice. But, if you choose to have your kid in day care, for whatever reason, and you are thwarted like this, then we are dealing with a form of discrimination.

I don't know how much benefits are calculated to be gained from this measure, but the social expense is that the gap between income classes as well as ethnic groups is going to get (even) bigger. And that is a sad prospect. Especially if we consider the great (and costly) efforts made by politicians (before these ones) to integrate everyone into society.

This can't last anyway. The very people who voted right wing are now hit in the face by the same wing. The only problem is, they don't learn so easily. Every time comes voting time, they keep hitting the same button...

Ah well, we can always show them how it's done. How 'bout this button right here for a great weekend

Ennui is boredom in French, bunion is bunion ... lol

So this place would not be very attractive

As for daycare, i wish I could have been more with my daughter, having had what is given to daycare by our government for mothers at home would certainly encourage many of us to raise our children by ourselves.

Some studies have shown that kids from poor environment were stimulation is not the upmost worries of parents will develop much better in terms of intellectual and motor abilities. However, other studies have shown that daycare plus constant surveillance in playgrounds make children much less able to socialise than those from previous générations and also less able to lead (don't ask me the source, no time for researching, but I read it more than once in this socialised province we have here)

Here Ya Go, Ulli and the Villagers, Thanks : ) Right Here and Right Now!!!

So, how can you ever truly know if you are living in alignment with your soul’s desires?

The first sign is simple: you’re no longer constantly stressed about the future. When you’re living with passion and purpose and you’re driven by the energy of the universe, you cease to have a rigid timeline of your future mapped out. You no longer have much of a life plan; instead, you become life’s plan. You don’t have some far-off goal to reach in life. Instead, you are life’s goal. You’re content with just being in the here and now.

I am in Montréal, Canada, and here is warm (well, relatively speaking when compared with the rest of the winter), slightly melting and sunny. Sorry for your 18 inches.

Guys, I don't think you ever get over raising your kids!

Hi my beautiful AVALON members and friends!
I'm writing here because I did not want to make a new thread out of this and I think it is probably a better place here to ask for your help.
I'm asking your help to find a session, course, teacher, or online school on how to be an Angelic coach.
I'm following my heart here and my heart told me to take a course to help me in focussing on achieving my goal to start being an angelic life coach within a year from now.
In my path of life, it is important for me to have a structure and to work in a team with another person to help me reach my goal.
In my belief system, I have to get a paper of some sort to have a better confidence in me guiding others.

I've searched over the internet and I don't know where to look because there is so many schools and tools that it makes me feel that I'm loosing time in searching everywhere...
Also, I want something affordable and effective and practical. I'm living in Canada, Quebec, Gatineau so anyone near me have a clue where to look for that kind of lessons?
I can do it over the internet also..... You see, I'm here to help and motivate others on this planet and I really want to start making a difference and have a career that I love and fulfill me.
My soul and my heart are ready to move on and to learn some practical steps to achieve my goal.
Ready to help me help others?

I need a base, tools about angelic coaching...
I have the abilities, awareness and sensitivity, spiritual background, experiences in life but I need tools and the knowhow to give angelic coaching lessons!
Thank you for answering me in PM messages, please so I can be more specific and give more details

P. -S. and as much as I'm sure about my path of life, I'm having a hard time with myself in doing concrete stuff towards this goal...
Posting this here was hard and it is a big step for me to actually do it ! It is like I'm making a some sort of a contract with myself. Thank you just to read me my friends.
Please answer in PM messages

No need for source here I read that report as well, about the playgrounds. It also made an interesting remark about how parents are overprotecting their children (don't mess up your pants (by falling in the mud), keep your shoes clean, watch out this, don't climb up there, watch out,...) and in doing so, limiting the children's self-initiated discovery of the environment. Inevitably, it also means less spontaneous movements (motoric).

And sync you there, my messengers have brought me laundry detergent (ran out), so now I can go and do some sunny Saturday washing while listening to the exotic wolf (supra).

Welcome to the Avalon forum, and to the Here and Now.
You have truly arrived, as your streams of consciousness show.
Any school education which taught this type of excercise can't be sneered at.
Wondering if this is still being practiced....

Here and now, 5:43 am, fingers on cracked iPad screen, relaxed, as the cats have been fed already. They love it so much in our new home they only use us like a hotel, to eat and to sleep. Three empty cat beds on my left.
Later today..a once in a lifetime gathering of my husband's paternal cousins and their spouses and children...over 190 people.
Asking the Villagers to give me strength. (And advice, if spirit prompts you...)

Good luck with that Ulli. Sometimes doctors run in families, so maybe you’ll see a few of them. Here’s something you might like to talk about.


Linking back to the NDE talk of the other day here, for me the most interesting, and potentially the most conclusive NDE account is the one by Eben Alexander. First off, he is a neurosurgeon. Second, he was practically brain dead for a week with something in his own specialism: bacterial meningitis (E. Coli, a one-off case). Third, when he ‘died’, he was met and accompanied by an angelic young woman. Fourth, he was abandoned by teenage parents who went on to marry and have a family; this major issue had only recently come to a head with news of who they were. Fifth, by the time he heard about it, one of his unknown sisters had been dead for two years. Sixth, he is in a unique position to explain just how unlikely his complete and rapid recovery really was. Seventh, not until four months after he left hospital did he get to see a picture of this full sister who was dead before he ever knew she was alive: obviously a somewhat familiar face, but it was only when he read about an NDEr who saw a sibling they never knew they had (lost in a miscarriage) that he realized that she was his angelic guide in the afterlife.

I read about him and his story, but now you convinced me that I need to read his book.
