friends, Being an asian indian girl ain't that fun when you are 30 and still unmarried. According to the society a girl has to be married to a guy before 30 or else you get forced(emotionally blackmailed) to get married. Oh! well I succumed into one those traps last year, got married to a guy whom I don't love. My mom consoled me saying that I will love him in the course of time!!!! On top of that i got laid off by my company thanks to the economy!!! Life is like a torture one after the other sometimes i feel like giving up....Then I thought why not find some comfort by making some new friends and searching for the truth. Would anyone have any clue how long will this pattern will go on in my life????Can someone give some insight???? dob: june 18 ,1972 time:11:48pm place: Kerala,indiathanks in advance IP: Logged |

Listen Nikki I know life is hard! Please don't give up and lose hope because God works in mysterious ways and new things come and old things go. Please know that you are a strong woman and deserve the best. I have had many difficult days as well and I encourage you to pray (to whomever you believe in be it God or the trees or Buddha), because prayer always helps when it is from the heart, talk to people because you never who will come into your life and may tell you something you need to hear, and try to find something you enjoy. Often in life we are so busy pleasing everyone else and fitting society or what we "should" be doing with our lives, we forget what's enjoyable to us. For instance I enjoy cooking and baking, learning about health and nutrition and astrology. I also have a mantra that keeps a smile on my face and reminds me how fortunate I am "I am grateful for everything, I have no complaints" Try to say it, it brings over a sense of gratitude for having my needs satisfied even if my wants are...well..working on it! I just want to say that I too am going thru a difficult period in my life. I am getting out of a very negative situation in my life and it is hard, especially to deal with the fact that I have stayed in it for so long, too long. But blaming is pointless, action is key. When all is said and done, more is said than done so basically I have to keep my head up while I go through this and welcome and please stick around and you will find great people here ------------------ Food is the only art that nourishes!

Darling Nikky...The answer to your question is very SIMPLE. That pattern in your life will go on for as long as you allow it to go on. The choice is only YOURS. YOU got married, YOU can divorce. YOU got the job, YOU lost the job, YOU can get a new one and a more enjoyable one! A more enjoyable one will bring you more rewards - including money! And so on... YOU have all the answers... have you ever really listened to your heart? I agree with Fajita - pointing fingers is useless, action is the key. Anyway, coming here is a giant first leap. Welcome! Forgive my bluntness, but I'm a double Scorpio! I'm hopeless at flattering! IP: Logged |

Dear Miracle, I am being honest abt my feelings here I got really upset on reading your message becuase you had it straight then I read the note "Forgive my bluntness, but I'm a double Scorpio! I'm hopeless at flattering!" Boy!!! i smiled and thought how silly i was to get upset on reality ur right "I" am the cause to my problems but regarding job front "I" am not the cause at all since I lost the job as my contract was up. Regarding getting a job, I am trying my max but nothing is working out due to the economic situation of US. Hiring is very slow job market was supposed to pick up in jan but it is just still i am just worried abt my finances, being out of job ain't fun ... nikky IP: Logged |

Dearheart Nicky,I apologise if I have inadvertently hurt your feelings, that certainly was never my intention. Your wellbeing is more important to me than you liking me or what I say. And I know that the quickest way to wellbeing is facing the facts. Two of my friends have just returned from a holiday (vacation) in Gambia. They were telling me about all sorts of seriously awful things... For instance, when they were going from the airport to the hotel, a Gambian noticed that one of my friends had a plastic bottle of diet coke. Instantly, a line of about 45 children formed in front of the hotel, waiting. What were they waiting for? They were waiting for one of my friends to throw away the plastic coke bottle. They are that poor! Not to mention that many of them will probably never have an opportunity to get a job. Ever. Have a look around you... and see how many people are worse off than you? Count your blessings, hold your head up high... and expect a Miracle! Trust me, they do happen. All the time. Love always, M & lots of green light your way IP: Logged |

Hi Nikky,I have to give you alot of credit by realizing that you create your own reality and not getting upset by what Miracle said. When one hears "you do this to yourself" they often get the wrong message. You realized that you have control in your life and that is SO KEY to making miracles come true! Good for you!

Although Indu seems to have solved all of Nikky's problems, I would also like to say to her that when one's life seems to be de-railed I always tell myself to take this period of time and use it to prepare myself with further schooling, or information gathering, or reading up on those things that I will need and will be helpful to me when life gets back on track again. Nothing lasts forever on this plane. When it feels the worst, just remind yourself that "this too shall pass" and be sure to spend the time not in worrying but in preparation for the things to come. Best wishes to you Nikky.IP: Logged |

Nikky,I like you saw only the bad in my life until the day i read this e-mail my older sister sent me, it helped me realize life could get much worse. Now i pray every night to god not for myself but for others those whose lives are worse than mine may they find strength and hope to live another day.I hope this helps you in a way MEMO FROM GOD To: YOU DATE: TODAY FROM: THE BOSS Subject: YOURSELF Reference: LIFE I am God. Today I will be handling all of your problems. Please remember that I do not need your help. If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do not attempt to resolve it. Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours. Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.
If you find yourself stuck in traffic; Don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.
Should you have a bad day at work; Think of the man who has been out of work for years.
Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; Think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.
Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; Think of the women in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.
Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; Think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.
Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; Think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.
Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.
Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ingnorance, smallness or insecurties; Remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them! Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you, you may have touched their life in ways you will never know!
