Unfortunately, this has turned into an invisible scream by invisible Haitians who are so poor they have no home, not enough food or water, no jobs....and not enough caring. This energetic surge which sustained them has turned into a trickly of nothing....where dying bodies are stepped over nonchalantly. http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Voiceless_Screams_of_Invisible_Haitians.htm Fri, 26 Mar 2010 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Voiceless_Screams_of_Invisible_Haitians.htm By Nancy L.

Recently the organization "Doctors Without Borders" announced they had reached the quota of donated money to do their work in Haiti, but people still keep on donating through small grass-roots parties around the United States.

The world is divided into two types of people -- Conscious Creators and Unconscious Creators. Most people fall into the latter category. They don’t understand why their life is falling apart, why their job makes them unhappy and why they can’t attract the right partner. They feel victimized, angry or depressed. Unconscious creators are manifesting most of their own misery unconsciously! http://www.akgmag.com/article/Are_You_a_Conscious_Creator___.htm Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Are_You_a_Conscious_Creator___.htm By Jackie Lapin. Most of us just go about life each day feeling like wind chimes…sometimes we make lovely sweet music and sometimes we are buffeted by gale force winds, with wild dissonant sounds. Often we feel at the mercy of fate, which is handing us some good days and some days that are filled with roadblocks, obstacles, annoyances and frustrations. At the end of the day, we’re so tired from the challenges that we just collapse in a heap with little energy to enjoy our families, friends or quiet time at home. http://www.akgmag.com/article/Consciously_Create_Your_Day.htm Tue, 04 Aug 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/Consciously_Create_Your_Day.htm By Nancy L.

Only when the first basic levels, "the felt needs" or human needs, are met can a person then seek the higher goals of self-actualization. http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Psychology_of_Housing___Shelter.htm Thu, 12 Mar 2009 00:00:00 -0500 http://www.akgmag.com/article/The_Psychology_of_Housing___Shelter.htm By Nancy L.
