De blaadjes blijven vallen bij vlagen. Wolken, regen, wind en lauwe zonnestralen wisselen elkaar af. De herfst liet zich even tegenhouden, maar zet nu door. De herfstkleuren laten zien dat iedere vorm verandert, je met ieder proces meekleurt, en dat je soms oude zaken mag loslaten zodat de nieuwe energie meer ruimte krijgt. De volle Jachtmaan laat je ervaren wat je wilt wegjagen en wat je wilt najagen. Wat wil of kun jij loslaten omdat je het niet meer nodig hebt in de komende periode? (Denk aan een gewoonte, gedrag, aanname, etc.) En waarvoor wil je meer ruimte, plaats of tijd maken de komende tijd? Het licht buiten ons neemt af, maar van binnen is het tot in je cellen aanwezig. Er is een totale maansverduistering deze dag, wat betekent dat de Maan langzaam verduistert en dan weer lichter wordt. Symbolisch gebeurt dat met ons ook: emoties en gevoelens kunnen de komende tijd een reset ondergaan, om dan weer langzaam maar duidelijk een nieuwe (gezonde) manier van beleven te vinden. Is e...

YOU DON’T JUST LOSE SOMEONE ONCE You lose them over and over, sometimes in the same day. When the loss, momentarily forgotten, creeps up, and attacks you from behind. Fresh waves of grief as the realisation hits home, they are gone. Again. You don’t just lose someone once, you lose them every time you open your eyes to a new dawn, and as you awaken, so does your memory, so does the jolting bolt of lightning that rips into your heart, they are gone. Again. Losing someone is a journey, not a one-off. There is no end to the loss, there is only a learned skill on how to stay afloat, when it washes over. Be kind to those who are sailing this stormy sea, they have a journey ahead of them, and a daily shock to the system each time they realise, they are gone, Again. You don’t just lose someone once, you lose them every day, for a lifetime. Credit: Donna Ashworth

Intimiteit is niet alleen puur fysiek, het is de handeling waarbij je zo diep contact maakt met iemand dat je het gevoel hebt dat je in hun ziel kunt kijken. Een zielsdiepe relatie tussen twee mensen is een van de mooiste ervaringen in het leven. Afgezien van het aansteken van het vuur van de passie, is een intieme relatie ook een kans voor beiden om de wonden uit het verleden te helen en sterker te worden. Iedereen gaat een relatie aan met enige emotionele bagage, zelfs degenen die zelfstandig zielswerk hebben gedaan en een partner die klaar is voor een relatie in hun leven hebben aangetrokken. Dat komt omdat het diepste werk wordt gedaan in partnerschap, waarbij twee met het hart verbonden individuen de problemen zien die zich voordoen. elkaar triggeren als een geschenk, of als een aanwijzing, voor hun genezing in plaats van als een obstakel, en twee mensen die elkaar kunnen helpen om te genezen, kunnen elkaar ook helpen om meer lief te hebben.

  Edward Vincent "Ed" Sullivan (September 28, 1901 – October 13, 1974) He is principally remembered as the creator and host of the television variety program The Toast of the Town, later popularly—and, eventually, officially—renamed The Ed Sullivan Show. Broadcast for 23 years from 1948 to 1971, it set a record as the longest-running variety show in US broadcast history. "It was, by almost any measure, the last great TV show," proclaimed television critic David Hinckley. "It's one of our fondest, dearest pop culture memories." Sullivan was a broadcasting pioneer at many levels during television's infancy. As TV critic David Bianculli wrote, "Before MTV, Sullivan presented rock acts. Before Bravo, he presented jazz and classical music and theater. Before the Comedy Channel, even before there was the Tonight Show, Sullivan discovered, anointed and popularized young comedians. He also defied pressure to exclude African American entertainers, and ...

In 1995, dovers discovered Incredibly intricate sand Circles scattered across the sea floor of the Amami Oshima region of Japan. The artist of these Circles was a mystery for years, until it was revealed as the white- spotted pufferfish. Watch the pufferfish's intricate handiwork, as the three inch long fish shovels and moves sand into a Circle that eventually reaches six feet in diameter. Once complete, the reason for the unusual design is clear, the Circle is used to attract a female for mating and, if successful, serves as a nest for developing eggs.

As a teenager, Jacob Cohen started in stand-up comedy and changed his name to Jack Roy. After nine years, he quit show business. When he returned in 1962, he wanted to change his name to distance himself from his previous failure. A club owner gave him the name of "Rodney Dangerfield" after Ricky Nelson used the name in an episode of "The Adventures of Ozzie and Harriet." But Jack Roy remained his legal name for the rest of his life. One night, he saw an older, low-level gangster complaining about how young people gave him "no respect, no respect at all," and he never forgot it. "I had this joke: 'I played hide and seek; they wouldn't even look for me.' To make it work better, you look for something to put in front of it: 'I was so poor, I was so dumb,' so this, so that. I thought, '"Now what fits that joke?'" Well, 'No one liked me' was all right. But then I thought, 'A more profound thing would be...

I did not know that! “Since her death in 1979, the woman who discovered what the universe is made of has not so much as received a memorial plaque. Her newspaper obituaries do not mention her greatest discovery. […] Every high school student knows that Isaac Newton discovered gravity, that Charles Darwin discovered evolution, and that Albert Einstein discovered the relativity of time. But when it comes to the composition of our universe, the textbooks simply say that the most abundant atom in the universe is hydrogen. And no one ever wonders how we know.” — Jeremy Knowles, discussing the complete lack of recognition Cecilia Payne gets, even today, for her revolutionary discovery. (via alliterate) OH WAIT LET ME TELL YOU ABOUT CECILIA PAYNE. Cecilia Payne’s mother refused to spend money on her college education, so she won a scholarship to Cambridge. Cecilia Payne completed her studies, but Cambridge wouldn’t give her a degree because she was a woman, so she said to heck with that and m...

Kijk uit voor wie je wilt helpen vanuit je prachtige hart. Voordat je het weet, beland je in een wespennest vol gedoe en steek je tijd en energie in het helpen van anderen uit liefde, en dan ben je ineens de schuldige. Let goed op jezelf en ga niet zomaar mee in de strijd van anderen. Hoezeer de ander ook lijdt, het is niet jouw taak om andermans leven te fixen. Ik ben nu wel achter deze les. Het leeft echt veel beter zonder andermans gedoe. Lieve mensen zijn altijd beschikbaar voor hun naasten en willen er altijd voor een ander zijn. Soms moet je er eerst voor jezelf zijn. Zelfliefde en zelfzorg zijn echt noodzakelijk, lieverd!

Dolwyddelan Castle Dolwyddelan is as Welsh as the rugged mountains of Eryri (Snowdonia) that provide its spectacular backdrop. One of a group of fortresses built to command the mountain passes, it stands as a lasting memorial to Prince Llywelyn ap Iorwerth, or Llywelyn the Great. He was the undisputed ruler of Gwynedd from 1201 to his death in 1240. But Dolwyddelan was finally conquered during the reign of his grandson Llywelyn ap Gruffudd by the English king Edward I. It marked a crucial stage in his relentless campaign to crush the Welsh once and for all. Edward set his own stamp on Dolwyddelan from the day it fell in 1283. The garrison was hastily equipped with camouflage white tunics – perfect for winter warfare in the mountains. He raised the height of the keep, built a new tower and installed a siege engine complete with stone ‘cannon balls’. Nothing lasts for ever. By the early 19th century Dolwyddelan was a romantic ruin popular with landscape artists. Then Lord Willoughby de E...
