Raise Your Vibration By Laughing + Two Funny Images For You
Ideas and Advice for How To Live a Joyful and Empowered Life.
Laughing is a way to lift our mood and when our mood is lifted we are in a more magnetic vibration – meaning we will attract the things and experiences that we want faster. Whenever I feel my mood going down or I catch myself going negative, I do a number of things to get back to a good vibration as soon as possible so I don’t delay my manifestations. Laughing is one of the things I do. Sometimes I will think of something funny that happened in the past. Sometimes I’ll watch a funny show or movie. Sometimes I’ll talk to a funny friend or be goofy with my daughter.
I’ve recently created two funny images that I’m including here in case they will help you laugh, and these images can be purchased on different products if you like them. Below are a few of those products but the…

ICE released names of 6,252 immigrants seeking protection – Los Angeles Times – (Me: Why do I have a hard time believing this was an accident?)
Many immigrants fear that gangs, governments, or individuals back home will find out that they sought protection in the U.S. Asylum-seekers regularly ask their immigration lawyers whether their home countries will find out about their applications. In one case documented by Human Rights Watch, a Cameroonian man the U.S. deported to his home country was summoned to court upon his return for “having, in the United States, spread false news . . . by declaring to be a victim of abuses by the Cameroonian Government.” Source: ICE released names of 6,252 immigrants seeking protection – Los Angeles Times

El anciano contaba los días, en el calendario y mentalmente, con la ilusión de prepararse para recibir a sus hijos y nietos en su casa, un hogar en el que las ausencias, los recuerdos y la melancolía flotaban en el ambiente y pesaban demasiado, como si los muebles, los cuadros, las paredes y todas las cosas y los rincones extrañaran a la gente de los otros días, cuando apenas ayer, el bullicio, la alegría, los juegos y la trama de la vida se expresaban cada instante en aquel recinto familiar.
Otras veces, los hijos del hombre le habían prometido visitarlo en determinada fecha, con una cancelación apresurada horas antes de la cita, siempre con argumentos y justificaciones que parecían inverosímiles, creados, indudablemente, para evitar perder el tiempo a su lado. El viejo entristecía profundamente y sentía un dolor asfixiante…

♫ Soolaimón ♫ — Filosofa’s Word

When I first started doing music posts back in 2018, I said that I would only play songs I like. A bit of a selfish wench, wasn’t I? I still pretty much play my old favourites, but I’ve figured out that it gives me just as much joy playing songs that my friends enjoy as […]
