The Love Challenge

Brenda Davis Harsham's avatarFriendly Fairy Tales

There are four questions of value in life, Don Octavio.
What is sacred? Of what is the spirit made?
What is worth living for and what is worth dying for?
The answer to each is the same. Only love.

Lord Byron

Purple flowers in stone wall

Love is elusive prey,
Love curves and flows
Down lonely love’s path,
Can I find love?

Love’s flower-shaped bell rings:
Love calls to hearts,
Stony in love’s graveyard,
Can love find me?

Love weighs like stone,
Yet, somehow, love floats.

Copyright 2015 Brenda Davis Harsham

We are weaned from our timidity
In the flush of love’s light
we dare be brave
And suddenly we see
that love costs all we are
and will ever be.
Yet it is only love
which sets us free.

Maya Angelou (from Touched by an Angel)

Wild Hydrangea: …this is where she came from

Living on the Blue Ridge of the Southern Appalachian Mountains is a blessing. Multiply that by the abundance of medicinal herbs that also live here, and what you have is a rich haven for herbalists. Having survived the advance and retreat of glaciers during the last ice age, the Appalachians, which are some of the oldest mountains in the world, became a botanical treasure. It is here that I am blessed to study, gather and prepare herbs, and practice herbal medicine.

I have been coming to these Smoky Mountains of North Carolina for as long as I can remember, and living here full time for the last sixteen years. Like me, lots of folks are finding their way to the mountains in search of a saner, healthier lifestyle, and communities in which to raise families and grow old. Unfortunately, more people also means more…

Hypnosis Class: Power of the Mind “*Certification”

Elephant-Hypnosis

Hypnosis Class: Power of the Mind “*Certification”

Are you a good listener and help others naturally with your communication skills? Hypnotherapy might be for you. The power of the mind is a beautiful part of our humanness. And it is to be enhanced and taken care of, like the rest of our bodies.

Think about how we can be bored and slumped in every day life. When you’ve been in a meeting or a classroom, supposedly listening and paying attention, your mind swirling with disinterest, self-absorption and lack of time. You’re giving yourself lists of all the things you need to do or chastising yourself about what you might like to be doing. Our human brain in studies likes to wander off and become unfocused, we can do it a major portion of our day. If we don’t stay on some kind of schedule or make plans, it’s known to make us as a species – nervous, less content and unhappy. And we know this then leads to frustration, anxiety, exhaustion and depression.

Hypnosis and Meditation have been around for centuries to help reduce mental distractions. We are to improve our psyche and learning ability. We are to look inward for awareness and ingenuity. When babies are born, we are sponges and absorb the learning offered to us. But as we grow we allow society, our environment and companions to influence our thinking process. We’re usually so busy living outside ourselves for others wants and desires, that when we do notice we haven’t gotten anywhere in years – it can be in a panic to act out in all kinds of self-destructive ways or criticize each other. Throughout the day we fantasize, analyze, and sadly complain about what we can’t achieve or have in life. How many times a day do you wander off in your thinking and someone asks you a question to answer?

Earth is calling…Wake up…Lets reframe and gain lost hours, days, months and years of life. Hypnosis is a great tool for improvement, retaining information and staying power. It can relieve doubts, phobias, trauma and drama as it enhances a deep relaxed state of altered consciousness and to access deeper parts of the mind. Decisions can be made to meet our needs. Clarity allows us to actively move the body toward solutions and achievement. Re-establishing the habits of every day can assist to refresh a cluttered mind.

Here are a few things to alleviate: quit smoking, weight-loss, sleep disorders, pain control, health issues, anger management, drug and alcohol problems, guilt, rejection, frustration, grievances, money problems, relationship issues, lack of confidence. The benefits of becoming a hypnotist can help you toward achievement, accomplishing your goals, learning and studies alignment. You will open your mind revamping limiting ideas, activating talents and removing blocks. You will be re-learning to enrich your profession or to create a dream job as a Hypnotist. Taking classes with Tara Sutphen, World renowned Hypnotherapist will bestow you an IHF “Medical and Dental Hypnosis Certificate”.

Bettering yourself is never a fail. Isn’t it time for your every thought and action to aspire you toward your best self and true potential.

The Shadowers

By Adrien Lehman

Shawn Nobscure was a normal farmer with a normal life, until the Choosing, here is a story of the adventures of Shawn Nobscure and friends,

Shawn suddenly awoke to his father and mother scurrying about the house like gigantic mice, yelling and screaming,“Mam? whas happenin’?” Shawn asked with a groggy tone and slur, “Its the Choosing honey! go take a shower and brush your teeth!, As shawn walked to the bathroom to bathe and brush he looked at his once a week used tooth brush and sadly brushed his teeth, After he hopped into the no-heated shower and shivered the whole gruesome ordeal, as he went down with his best clothes and combed his bright blond hair out of his deep blue eyes. “Such a good looking boy, such a shame he barely even shows his beautiful blue eyes” Shawn’s father said with a sad smile. Then his mother yelled “Honey! look at the clock! what time is it?” as shawn looked at the grandfather clock his father yelled “9:32! go go go son! its time for the Choosing!” Shawn Bustled out of the house and set on his trek to Hawthorn Castle.

As Shawn saw the giant stone castle with magnificent spires in the air he also saw something that wasn’t quite as beautiful, a line of children as far as the naked eye could see. Shawn sighed but saw something that cheered him up, His 3 friends and his brother “Hey guys!my little brother!” Shawn’s brother said as he patted Shawn on the back “No, Your just 3 months older than me! im just 14! you too Noah!” Shawn answered back, “Well i’m bigger and stronger, destined to become a soldier, How about you?” Noah said  “uhmmm well…. Just be quiet okay?!” Shawn said in a angry tone, “ Huh fine, i’ll go with my more cool friends” Noah said grumpily as he walked away to his bigger and stronger friends. Shawn turned to his actual friends. Allisa, a Slim and tall girl with blonde hair and dark brown eyes, Waven, A thin, wiry, boy with a pair of glasses and an obsession of books, And Mark, Shawn’s best friend, they both have the same interests and always hang together, he was also a tiny bit sarcastic “Aren’t we so lucky? this line is so short!” Mark said sarcastically, Shawn changed his mind about mark, he was REALLY sarcastic.

Chapter 1, The Choosing

After what seemed like a month they finally got to the gates, The council of grumpy looking teachers told us to sit on the bench and wait. As waven walked up to the council he looked down to the floor and said “I wan-wan-want t-t-to be a-a..a Scri-Scribe” Waven said with his massive stutter problem, The Scribe teacher, Sir William ShikeSpear answered “Well of course! i was waiting for you to ask, You have the perfect brains for one, I have seen you with those books, Please sit down in the Scribe bench” Waven walked over to the bench of scribes and sat down, “Allisa Sante!” Yelled Duke Barenkaw. As Allisa strode over to the council all of the teachers took a long look at her and the Courtier teacher, Madame Terrisa, finally said “You have the perfect build and etiquette to be a Courtier Allisa, do you want to be one?” Allisa nearly jumped out of her boots and said “Yes!” As Allisa skipped to the Courtier Bench, Noah came up. The answer was almost instant, “I would like to be a Squire” Noah asked with a aura of confidence “Yes, get on the bench” said Sir Faarsen Randall. Then Mark went up, and he did something that has never happened in the Choosing history, asked for another human being to come up with him “Can me and Shawn get chosen together? we both are likely to get the same job” Mark asked “it would be Shawn and I, Improve your grammar young man, and why not, you and Shawn can both get chosen at the same time” Said Madame Terrisa
