Aware of continuing violence and killings in the name of religion or against a religion, Arizona Interfaith Movement (AIFM) reminds people in Arizona and around the world that the Golden Rule is part of our common understanding — may it be a guidepost for our actions rather than killing or violence.

There is no mystery or secret to Reiki as Pamela Miles explains in the video. Balancing of mind and body is as simple as it can be explained. The human touch is the most powerful tool we can use to alleviate suffering. Many people have understood this and used it to help people throughout time. Jesus was the world's greatest healer and he told us that we have the same gifts to heal. Mother Teresa is a wonderful example of how showing compassion and genuine longing to help others can bring healing to those suffering. While volunteering with hospice I witnessed the miracle of how just holding someone's hand can bring comfort and decrease anxiety and pain. Reiki is bringing that healing touch to those in most need of comfort.

Just thinking......death. With the recent passing of our beloved Simon I was exposed to several experiences. It is really true that everyone has their own ways of processing the loss. After the initial tears and goodbyes the reality hits you square in the face. They are gone "forever" and not going to be your physical realm again. It sounds good to think and say that it was for the best or they are in a better place, but the heart is a whole other matter. My husband immediately goes into quiet mode and retreats into isolation and sleep. My reaction is to get moving doing anything to not have to sit in the uncomfortable silence and pain. Dave spent yesterday in deep reflection and I cleaned my entire office from top to bottom. The tears came to both of us all day yesterday and starting to look like today might have the same effect.
I asked myself why losing a pet is so hard and hits us so deep in the soul. Easy....they are the true expression of unconditional love! Our pets are our best buddy no matter what. Who is there to greet you everyday when you get home? Who can make you laugh and smile just by being themselves? Who can snuggle up to you and make a bad day seem not so bad? Who do you let lick your face in the morning? Who can get away with doing mischievous deeds and we we still hug them and tell them we love them? Who never argues, or holds a grudge? The answer is our furry companions with all the unconditional love that we have the honor of sharing on this journey. I believe God knew that we would need this kind of love in our lives and that is why he gave us furry friends. When the world looks so full of hate and anger we just have to look into the eyes of our pets and see the true love of God reflected back at us. My husband said this is the last pet we are going to have besides Daisy. He can only see the immediate pain and loss were I see the beautiful gift that Simon brought into our lives. Simon graced us with his never ending charm and sense of humor for 15 years. During his last 4 months of hospice care Simon showed me that love endures until the final breath. When you balance out the good with the bad, the good far out surpasses the bad. In life there is a little rain mixed in with the sunshine. We need both to be able to feel the total expression of what this life has to offer. Simon was our little ray of sunshine and though the rain is falling gently in our hearts we know the sun will shine again. Thank you Simon for being that beautiful, wonderful, amazing expression of God's love. Always in our hearts!
