Angela asked:


My mother is nearly 80, does not suffer from Alzheimers or dementia and is active in mind, body, and spirit. She has her own friends but we see each other on Sundays. I treat her to lunch and then a movie, or whatever it is we plan to do for the day.

The problem is she is critical, negative, and domineering. I refuse to let her push my buttons and even when she does I count from 1 to 10 ( under my breath, of course) and try to either speak calmly to her or just steer the conversation toward another direction.
She just simply will not let it go. She screams and yells (it’s not the age ~ she was always this way) and I am at my wits end because this is becoming a chronic problem.
Although she drives me nuts, she is my mother so I keep trying to put the previous battle behind me. My brother does not live in the area so I am her only family here.
She’s needed therapy her whole life but will never agree to get it now.
Anyone have experience with this type of situation? Advice ?

I need a good kick in the ass every day of my life. I need to retrain some bad habbits and get me further along in life. I have some great successes but like many Americans … I’M GREEDY and want it all NOW! “You woke up the baby…and I’m a big spoiled brat or at least I want to be.” We want more, we need more of everything but I’m still waiting for some body else to give it to me. I wish I was born rich, I wish I was born rich, wait … I’m American … I was born rich … richer then most but I want even more of the Good life. I need some new thinking process’s to motivate me and keep me motivated to grab for more then money I want success in all areas of my life … mind, body, spirit and free time to pursue all these great things like travel and meeting new people.

I was once involved with a discussion group we called it a Mind, Body, Spirit, Group. One of the women in the group who was a physician and a non-practicing hindu commented that others often told her that they felt she was a very “spiritual” person. Well, we can explain easily enough why others might say that but it begs the question, what do people mean by “being spiritual” and what is spirit or what is a spiritual act? Some define it as a selfless act others as making a strong connection on an emotional or deeper level. I would like to hear what the YA community thinks and how some of you would explain or define a spiritual act. Also, to put this in context in a Mind, Body, Spirit group the mind and body are relatively easy to define but “spirit” is a much larger challenge. What part of the human is spirit and different from mind and body?

nefertitinoel asked:


My beliefs can basically be summed up with the following phrase, “Hishuk ish Tsawalk”, meaning, “Everything is One”. I believe that we are really parts of an infinite whole that is both eternal and ever changing. It is a mind/body/spirit that creates reality. I believe that Nature is Divine and full of spirits. I believe that the mysteries of existence are deeper than can be imagined and, most likely, descend forever into the darkness. I believe we are reflections of the whole and, therefore, all of Creation is contained within us. We are gods who focus our consciousness into this physical dimension and experience life as animals. When we cease our focus we return to the astral plane and are free from time and space. I believe that Nature is all and we are the fruit of the planet. I believe everything has spirit and consciousness and that all life is sacred. What is it that you believe in?

LITTLE PETS asked:


I believe so. I was very blessed to meet a remarkable woman in Redding, Ca. Her name was Kay Morris Long. I have never met a woman like her and i know that I will never meet another person like her again. I have never known anybody so beautiful in mind, body & spirit. I was blessed to know her for over 12 years. She was there when both my boys were born and was a part of my wedding party. She was my mentor and if I can become half the woman she was I can die happy. Sadly we lost her to cancer this last December. She was the Godmother to my boys and a wonderful friend. In your life do you have a special person like that?? I truly believe that God sends down angels to be people. And she was one of them!
I hope that all of you have a person like Kay in your life!! And If you don’t I pray that you find one! It is truly a blessing!

REDDING - Kathleen “Kay” Wetzel Morris Long, 68, a longtime psychotherapist and a recently ordained minister in “the River”, a non-denominational Christian network, died December 27 at the Huntsman Cancer Institute in Salt Lake City from a rare form of cancer. The daughter of Nevin F. Wetzel and Jane Rawlins, Kay was born on July 9, 1939, and raised in Salt Lake, where she graduated from East High School and briefly attended the University of Utah. She completed her bachelor’s degree at San Jose State University and earned a master’s degree in social work from the Ohio State University in 1963.

She eventually settled in Redding, California, where she helped to established Stepping Stones in the 1970s, a highly successful program for troubled teenagers, and carried on a private career as a therapist for many years. She traveled widely - to Israel, China, Mexico and Russia, among other countries-and in semi-retirement became a painter of works expressing the spontaneous outpouring
the Holy Spirit.

A child of divorce, Kay was a bridge-builder who nurtured strong ties among and between members of her own family. She reached out to sons, daughters, parents, nieces, nephews, and cousins in a widening circle that erased the word “step” from the vocabulary of her extended family relationships. She thrived on family and friend get-togethers and forged close bonds with her children and grandchildren. Similarly, Kay enjoyed close friendships with other professionals in social work and psychology as well as fellow worshippers at Bethel Church in Redding.
Typical of Kay’s independent spirit and determination, she enlisted the nation’s top oncologists in a search for the cause and cure of her final illness, all the while comforted by her faith in God’s will and Christ’s promise. She died in Salt Lake City on December 27th, 2007, in the presence of her family, and left the impression that she had participated through sheer will in her own passing.

Kay is survived
by her son, Michael Morris, of Melbourne, Australia, and Michael’s wife Nicolette and their two children; Elisha, 9, and McKenzie, 7; brothers Jim Wetzel of Salt Lake City and David Wetzel of Denver; niece Elizabeth “Noel” Wetzel of Santa Cruz, CA, and nephews Richard Wetzel of Kansas City and Daniel Wetzel of Salt Lake City. Kay had a huge circle of dearly loved friends and family who will always love her and will never forget her, until they are rejoined with her once again in God’s paradise.
This what was in the local paper (Record serchlight, Redding, CA)

As you can tell she was very special. She was an angel on earth! My family and I miss her very much!
She even allowed my kids to call her “Mumpa” Which means Mum of Pop. A name her grand kids made up!
Truly a blessing!

I especially don’t understand the first sentence.

“I acknowledge and understand that there are parallels in the systems between humanity and the natural world. The systems within the world of plants, animals, trees, rocks and the atmosphere all contribute to the overall understanding of life process and the principle of cause and effect. The imbalance in one system ultimately affects the other. The natural world celebrates our healing as it means greater opportunity for increased balance and bio-diversity. Both systems strive for balance in their own manner, whether it is of mind, body, spirit, or emotion. Humanity and the environment are stewards of each other.”

Thanks! : )
