Greetings from the Editor:
Are You a Good Samaritan?
When is the last time you responded to someone in need? It is easier to respond to someone we know, whether a family member, neighbor, or friend who needs our help and attention because we already have a relationship with them. It is more difficult when it is someone we do not know and have to determine if our giving is wise. Many of us have occasionally given money, for example, to a homeless person even though most of the time we do not respond. Helping a stranger includes beliefs we have about not being taken advantage of or scammed.
Two things work for me in determining when to get involved as a good Samaritan. One is to pay attention to what drew me to this person in the first place. My lead article below gives one personal experience based on synchronistic events that led me to help. The second is to listen to my heart's intelligence.
Most of us have been taught in school that the heart is constantly responding to "orders" sent by the brain in the form of neural signals. However, it is not as commonly known that the heart actually sends more signals to the brain than the brain sends to the heart! Moreover, these heart signals have a significant effect on brain function -- influencing emotional processing as well as higher cognitive faculties such as attention, perception, memory, and problem-solving. In other words, not only does the heart respond to the brain, but the brain continuously responds to the heart, "heartmath.com"
The world needs our genuine caring and giving. May you be inspired to notice when to get involved as a good Samaritan.
Namaste,
Suzanne

Do you believe in synchronicity where two seemingly unrelated
incidences occur, a coincidence, for a meaningful outcome? Synchronicity is an
experience of two or more events which occur in a meaningful manner, but which
are causally unrelated. The
chance that they would occur together by random chance must be very small...

Positive Action
by Frank A. DiLallo
There are few greater threats
to all schools than bullying. There is absolutely no school immune to peer
mistreatment and the insidious impact it has on learning, a person's spirit and
the overall school climate. In every way, peer mistreatment is the antithesis to
learning, serving, leading and succeeding. The good news is that a
myriad of successful strategies is available for positive and hopeful response.
We can literally turn this problem into an opportunity for FORMATION and
CHARACTER DEVELOPMENT!
