What is a soul mate? (by Char Margolis www.Char.net)
I have been counseling people in my readings for over 4 decades. One of the questions I am asked often is “Will I ever find my soul mate?” Most people think a soul mate is that one intimate, romantic person that you are supposed to be with for eternity. But it is important to remember that a soul mate isn’t just a romantic partner. Some of your best friends or family can be your soul mate. It is that eternal connection of love. A soul mate is someone who brings more love and meaning into your life, who helps your soul to grow. As I wrote in my book “Love Karma,” our spirits are part of a web of interconnected loving relationships that extends far beyond just one lifetime. It’s as if the earth is a boarding school where we come back to attend classes year after year. Lifetime after lifetime. At this school we have many familiar “classmates” who are learning their own lessons and making progress while helping us to do the same. Those classmates are our soul mates. So someone in one life could be your father and the next life could be your daughter or spouse. What does everyone on earth really want? I think it is to love and be loved. This love can come from your loved ones in the spirit world as well as on the earth plane. You will hear me say many times that “the first true love is self-love” It doesn’t mean you are selfish, it just means that your needs matter. Truthfully, we don’t need anyone else in our lives to be complete and whole. If we are continually looking outside ourselves for something or someone to fill us up or to make us feel loved, we are setting ourselves up for a lifetime of hurt and a feeling of emptiness. So it is advisable to start with yourself first. Some of you reading this will be thinking, “I found the love of my life” and feel so blessed. Both of my sisters have had happy marriages for several years. In fact, my sister Alicia and brother in-law Paul will be married almost 60 years! They can both tell you that it takes sacrifice and giving and taking. It can be hard work but worth it! They are adorable together! My sister has been with him since she was 14 years old. They are very much in love with each other! For those reading this who are looking for that “right someone” it is possible for you too! We create most of our destiny by the choices we make. We can also help manifest that special someone by putting positive energy out there and creating the opportunity by allowing our hearts to be open for love. Work on your Heart Chakra (Chakra Therapy by Char Margolis) unblock it and allow love energy into your body and out into the world. Get rid of your fears. Understand what caused them in your life in the first place and unblock the portal that allows you to give and feel love. Learn from your past experiences. Did you fail in love because you confused physical attraction with love? Did you attract someone with the same dysfunctional energy that you couldn’t fix with one of your parents? So you keep trying to fix it in romance? Are you trying to fill an empty void inside you that only self-love can fill and fix? Maybe the love of your life has passed on to the spirit world. My parents were very much in love. When my father passed on my mother was 65 years old. She made a conscious choice not to get involved or marry again. She knew they would reunite when she got to the other side. Theirs was a match made in heaven! Some of you reading this who have had the same experience will make the same choice. I believe God is Love and Love is God. There is no greater power than the power of love! Whether the love energy in your life is from your friends, pet, family or significant other, take time to enjoy and remember those who bring this special feeling into your life.So on this Valentine ’s Day 2015 I wish you the great healing energy of unconditional Love in your world!
With My Love,
Char

Aloha Ohana, With permission I share the following and hope someone can help Chris and his wife and son (due to circumstances beyond my control, I am unable) PM me and I can share his info:
My name is Chris, and I recently accepted a position as a Protection Park Ranger at Hawaii Volcano National Park. As I'm sure you know, Chain of Craters Road is being restructured in the event of lava closure near the town of Pahoa. The park has assigned me to patrol the entire park, however the coastal access point at Kalapana will be the National Parks focus if the road opens up to the public.

My duties as a Ranger are emergency medical services, search and rescue, wildland fire response, and law enforcement. The parks plans is utilizing the Kalapana entry as a last resort access point during any closures of Route 130.

I understand this is completely random, but I was wondering if you know of anyone in the Kalapana area that is looking to rent long term to three person family.

My wife Heather is a licensed psychotherapist with a focus in expressive arts. She is also looking into working in the area at the Kalani Retreat Center. My son Baylin is 3 years old and is in the process of getting established with a local charter school.

My job as a Ranger with the park will require me to respond to all situations in or around the coastal kalapana area. If you could put me in touch with anyone looking to rent to two responsible professionals that would be most helpful. We have a number of excellent rental references from California and will be willing to meet anyone in person for a meet and greet.
Mahalo
Chris

KAILUA-KONA, Hawaii (Reuters) - The leading edge of lava from a volcano that threatened a village on Hawaii's Big Island has stalled in recent days, but officials warned on Tuesday that offshoots of molten rock could threaten the area if they advance from higher elevations.

As of Tuesday morning, the Hawaii County Civil Defense Agency reported the front edge of lava from the Kilauea Volcano's June 27 eruption was about a half mile upslope of the main intersection of Pahoa Village's two roads, granting a measure of relief to wary residents.

But the river of molten rock is still active, with breakouts within 300 yards of the stalled flow front, as well as about a mile upslope from the flow front, posing potential long-term risks, said USGS spokeswoman Janet Babb.

"Any of these breakouts, if they remain active, could head toward the community of Pahoa," Babb said. "Even if lava doesn't flow directly into the town, it could cross Highway 130 and isolate Pahoa, which is still an impact to the community."

The main front, as well as a south margin breakout, had not advanced over the last week, she said.

The two breakouts along the north margin roughly one mile upslope remain active and have advanced some 20 yards in a northeast direction over the last 24 hours. There was no immediate threat to the public.

Many businesses in Pahoa Village shut their doors when the June 27 flow from Kilauea volcano appeared headed directly toward the old plantation town.

However, the flow has stalled twice within 700 yards of the main highway, which links more than 10,000 residents with the rest of the island.

The first finger of lava was aimed at residential and commercial buildings but stopped in late October. The second finger fizzled before it reached the town's only shopping center, which includes a grocery store, medical clinic, gas station and restaurants.

A roughly 150-acre brushfire ignited late on Tuesday but was contained in a pre-dug containment zone and did not threaten people or property, officials said.

In November, lava flow incinerated a house that had been evacuated.
(This was a gf's house. She was pouring concrete on her new property and just as they was done took this house! Can you just hear the twilight music?)

Public Comment Sought on Emergency Road Review
by Big Island Now Staff
Public comment is being sought by Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park on an environmental review and decisions regarding the construction and use of an emergency access route along Chain of Craters Kalapana Road.
The environmental review for the emergency access route was completed, in compliance with the alternative National Environmental Policy Act arrangements developed by, and in consultation with, the Department of Interior and the President's Council on Environmental Quality.
To ensure residents have accessibility in and out of Pahoa, HVNP has been working in cooperation with the State of Hawai'i, Hawai'i County, and the Federal Highways Administration to construct an emergency access route between the park and Kalapana, along the park's historic Chain of Craters Kalapana Road.
The environmental review considers alternatives to the emergency route, as well as potential adverse impacts. The review also includes public involvement, mitigation and monitoring commitments.
As part of the alternative arrangements, the National Park Service will continue to engage the public soliciting comments on the project, participating in public informational meetings, responding to comments received, and publishing periodic reports on the results of monitoring commitments.
NPS will also continue to consult with affected agencies, such as the U.S. Fish and Wildlife Service and the Hawai'i State Historic Preservation Division, as necessary.
The NPS will also prepare a NEPA review to consider the future of the emergency access route after the emergency ends. The use of the emergency access route will only last as long as there is no viable alternative route for the residents of the affected area to use to gain access to the rest of the island.
The public is invited to review the environmental review and decision document and to submit comments via the NPS's Planning, Environment and Public Comment website.
Comments may also be submitted through e-mail to [email protected] or in writing, addressed to Superintendent, Hawai'i Volcanoes National Park, P.O. Box 52, Hawai'i National Park, HI 96718-0052.0
The deadline for submitting comments is Dec. 5, 2014 at 8:59 p.m.
Comments will be accepted while construction of the road is in progress, and are intended to affect NPS considerations of adjustments to the proposed action and enhancement of proposed mitigation measures.
If necessary, the comment period will be extended.
Response to substantive comments will be subsequently posted on the PEPC website. Results of park monitoring of resources and road use will be posted on both the PEPC and park's websites, shared at community meetings, or publicized through other means of communication periodically throughout the duration of the emergency.

's take on: - that it's OK to eat what's been dropped on the floor within five seconds - has been around a long time. It has been studied scientifically, testing different foods dropped on contaminated surfaces and left for five seconds. Surfaces ranged from ceramic tiles to wood floors and nylon carpeting, and foods included sticky candies known as "gummi bears," bologna, bread and cookies (hardly foods you will find on my Anti-Inflammatory Food Pyramid). Regardless of food and surface type, all food that came in contact with contaminated floors quickly picked up the dirt and bacteria it landed on. Contaminants tended to favor the carpet more than the hard surfaces, and the longer the food was in contact, the more bacteria it picked up, which lends some credence to the five-second rule.

Odds are that you won't get sick if you invoke the five-second rule, and exposure to ordinary dirt and germs may strengthen the immune system and reduce the risk chronic illnesses. Although, sometimes it takes just a few strains of certain infectious diseases to get sick, so you should use common sense with what fallen food you eat - avoid anything that fell on a hospital or sickroom floor, other surfaces likely to harbor really dangerous organisms such as uncooked meat juices, and any surface that is visibly dirty - it's not worth it.
