				<title>Writing from trance</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/6/15/Writing-from-trance</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;About to leave the internet and got a message to flash back here and let you know all is clear.&amp;nbsp; Hmmmm, why would you need to be made aware that all is going great?&amp;nbsp; Well, it may appear that i have been living in fear or overdoing the physical once again and perhaps there is some merit in thinking that, but as always, i am fine.&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;I was amazed to find Kathmandu was not as upset as projected by the press, but the people there are fed up.&amp;nbsp; They are not sitting back as Americans do all the time and blaming others, but taking matters up and shouting about it to those in power.&amp;nbsp; The real and lively dialogue is confusing to those who just mumble and talk behind others&apos; backs, but i found it enlightening and it was amazing how easily the fight went out once we got involved.

				<title>Back in the Saddle</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/6/14/Back-in-the-Saddle</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;Well, it has been a long, long journey and it seemed to never end, but i am finally able to work on the internet and meet with friends and clients again.&amp;nbsp; Hope all is going well with you and that you are ready for some additional work as the year progresses.&amp;nbsp; Much has &apos;trance-spired&apos; while away -- and i have changed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;p&gt;Not sure how much or what to print about my recent trip to Tibet, but perhaps it will fit in as we move up a bit in our work here.&amp;nbsp; time will tell what tales can be told. In the meantime, know that all is well here and disaster was averted in Nepal.&amp;nbsp; All is okay today.&lt;/p&gt;

				<title>The World Will Be Saved By Women</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/4/8/The-World-Will-Be-Saved-By-Women</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;A few days ago I posted on my Facebook page: &amp;ldquo;The world will be saved by Western women,&amp;rdquo; His Holiness the&amp;nbsp;Dalai Lama&amp;nbsp;...perhaps you spotted it.&amp;nbsp;No wonder Lewis Perkins asked me to join his group &amp;lsquo;Women Are Saving The World Now&amp;rsquo;&amp;hellip;and shared this with me&amp;hellip;Really well written and factual!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;The World Will Be Saved By Women&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&amp;nbsp;By: Lewis Perkins, Founder of Women Are Saving The World Now&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;I did not grow up in a home where women were demeaned.&amp;nbsp; There was no abuse.&amp;nbsp; No misogyny.&amp;nbsp; No violence. &amp;nbsp; So when I entered school and the world at large, I was confused to see how boys and girls were treated differently.&amp;nbsp; &amp;nbsp; I remember being told that certain behaviors were appropriate for a boy and certain behaviors were appropriate for a girl.&amp;nbsp; And I remember feeling that any crossing of those lines was not acceptable and in fact I was made to feel shame and guilt for being a creative, empathetic boy.&amp;nbsp; So not only did it make more sense to embrace the masculine as I developed myself into a young man &amp;ndash; it was a critical requirement for survival.

				<title>Did you feel the shift?</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/3/20/Did-you-feel-the-shift</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;Today, just a short time ago I felt the shift when the south polar magnetic field lifted for an instance and it gave way to the north polar magnetic field.&amp;nbsp;Not a scientific explanation, just a way to let you know what happened shortly after 1 pm EDT.

				<title>Dr. Joni Carley&apos;s, ?The Jungle &amp; The Bush?</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/1/29/Dr-Joni-Carleys-The-Jungle--The-Bush</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;&lt;i&gt;Recently LinkedIn with Dr. Joni Carley, among many others, and today I read an excellent essay on a subject that should be near and dear to all our hearts.&amp;nbsp;Here in America we are being &amp;lsquo;entertained&amp;rsquo; and &amp;lsquo;educated&amp;rsquo; by cynics of every stripe, and most of them are only after one thing&amp;mdash;feeling better about themselves.&amp;nbsp;No thought about how it makes the other person feel when they are done ranting and raving or &amp;lsquo;having a bit of fun&amp;rsquo; as Letterman might phrase it.&amp;nbsp;Here is some down-to-earth thoughts from a woman well-grounded in today&amp;rsquo;s world and her thoughts on &amp;lsquo;values-driven leadership&amp;rsquo;.&amp;nbsp;Please give it some thought&amp;hellip;but no need to follow up or do anything else&amp;hellip;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;line-height: normal; margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;I felt an immediacy about being in the remote Amazon jungle where I stayed with the headhunting Shuar tribe. I felt the same thing last summer when I stayed in a primitive village in Malawi, Africa&amp;rsquo;s poorest country. Both places called me to a presence that I don&amp;rsquo;t usually experience here in my cushy life in Pennsylvania.&lt;/div&gt;

				<title>How Can Huge Losses be Good News?</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/1/15/How-Can-Huge-Losses-be-Good-News</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;&lt;em&gt;Hi Ruth,&amp;nbsp;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em&gt;Thanks for the GOOD NEWS! I feel, too, we are over the worse.&amp;nbsp; But I truly cannot understand how the loss of 50,000 lives can ever be considered in a positive light? Can you share more about that?&amp;nbsp;Blessings to you in 2010!&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; RoseAnn&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;Just for you RoseAnn, I am putting on my old hat and remembering back to when I was Benefits Counselor at USSteel.&amp;nbsp;Over those years I did &amp;lsquo;termination interviews&amp;rsquo; for thousands of Headquarters employees and&amp;nbsp;often said those same words, and I&amp;nbsp;can say today that whenever it came out of my mouth, it turned out to be soooo accurate!&amp;nbsp;

				<title>What About Haiti?</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/1/15/What-About-Haiti</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;Normally I do not mix prophecies in with Blog entries, but since I dropped out of making frequent entries to &amp;lsquo;The Oracle&amp;rsquo; (found on my home page) several years ago due to &amp;lsquo;political&amp;rsquo; duress.&amp;nbsp;All I got for years was bad, bad news, and was warned that my site would be hampered by oversight if I printed most of what I &amp;lsquo;saw&amp;rsquo; and felt.&amp;nbsp;Then I lived in dread for so many, but suddenly six weeks ago I got the most wonderful news from my Spiritual Source.&amp;nbsp;The worst is over!&amp;nbsp;Wow!&amp;nbsp;From teetering on the verge of world-wide financial disaster to being able to think about other things seemed too good to be true.&amp;nbsp;How could anyone turn around the world in a year?&amp;nbsp;Well, folks, they did.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;Now, what about Haiti some of you ask?&amp;nbsp;Let me say as an Oracle may, &amp;ldquo;This is the worst thing to ever happen to Haiti, but within a very short time (nationally speaking, not personally) all will say this was the Best Thing that Ever Happened to Haiti!!!&amp;nbsp;You can take it to the bank, and please do consider helping Haiti financially through international organizations of great integrity.

				<title>Harry Truman Finally Has His Day</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2010/1/4/Harry-Truman-Finally-Has-His-Day</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;The first American President to register on my brain was Harry Truman, and I have waited a very long time to see him vindicated and admired!&amp;nbsp;&lt;span&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;I was very young, but still shocked to hear how terrible the newly-elected President was talked about full-time.&amp;nbsp;I can only imagine if there was &amp;lsquo;hate radio&amp;rsquo; then.&amp;nbsp;Living in a rural area, everyone voted straight ticket every year and never doubted for one moment they were right!&amp;nbsp;Apparently they were so far right they &lt;i&gt;hated&lt;/i&gt; anyone who was left or even center of them. When some plotted to kill him, neighbors said they should be congratulated--not prosecuted. Harry would laugh his head off to see his enemies saying he was okay today.&amp;nbsp;He has not changed, but maybe we have?? Nahhhhh&amp;hellip;.&lt;/span&gt;

				<title>Steve Jobs Said it All</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/12/15/Steve-Jobs-Said-it-All</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; color: black; font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;Kathy sent in the best graduation speech I know of, bar none.&amp;nbsp;She said: &amp;ldquo;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; color: black; font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;An interesting perspective by the inventor of Apple Computer on living as if it is your last day on Earth because it eventually will be.&amp;rdquo;&amp;nbsp;What I saw was three sermons, individually powerful for different reasons, on how to have it all. Steve Jobs is wise and speaks no lies.&amp;nbsp;Take the time to read the entire speech, you will never regret it.&amp;nbsp; C&lt;/span&gt;lick here: &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=3725&quot;&gt;&lt;font color=&quot;#800080&quot;&gt;http://www.dailygood.org/more.php?n=3725&lt;/font&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;
&lt;div style=&quot;margin: 0in 0in 10pt&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; color: #ff9933; font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;Inspiration of the Day:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;line-height: 115%; color: black; font-size: 10pt&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&amp;quot;I am honored to be with you today at your commencement from one of the finest universities in the world. I never graduated from college. Truth be told, this is the closest I&apos;ve ever gotten to a college graduation. Today I want to tell you three stories from my life. That&apos;s it. No big deal. Just three stories. The first story is about connecting the dots.I dropped out of Reed College after the first 6 months, but then stayed around as a drop-in for another 18 months or so before I really quit. So why did I drop out?&amp;quot; So begins this thought-provoking, inspirational commencement address by Apple Founder Steve Jobs.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;Each week I am invited to join in with a group of &amp;lsquo;New Agers&amp;rsquo; on line at an AOL chatroom, but I never seem to make it there.&amp;nbsp;However, the next day &amp;nbsp;I check out the subject up for discussion and usually have no regrets in having missed the chat.&amp;nbsp;The following invitation contains some food for thought and maybe you have something to say about it.&amp;nbsp;Just go to the Comment heading below and follow the prompts to make clear what you do or think is worthwhile considering, too.

				<title>MRI Today Versus 25 Years Ago</title>
				<link>http://www.ruthlee-scribe.com/blog/index.cfm/2009/9/24/MRI-Today-Versus-25-Years-Ago</link>
				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;In the late 80s I awoke in the middle of the night screaming with pain and fright.&amp;nbsp;I &apos;saw&apos; my right eye gouged out of its socket, lying on my cheek.&amp;nbsp;The pain was excruciating and as soon as I could see the best ophthalmologist in Pittsburgh, I did.&amp;nbsp;Dr. Lynn and staff examined and questioned me at length and sent me for an MRI at the Pitt Medical Center (new series on TV this fall, &amp;ldquo;Three Rivers&amp;rdquo; shows it as it is now).&amp;nbsp;It was new technology and not known by many, but I knew it was non-invasive, so it couldn&amp;rsquo;t hurt.&amp;nbsp;Right?&amp;nbsp;It did not, but you would never have known that by the way the people in the crowded waiting room behaved!&amp;nbsp;Crying and sobbing and just not helping their cases at all.&amp;nbsp;Seemed that many believed they were dying of cancer and the MRI would prove it.&amp;nbsp;I don&amp;rsquo;t know if it did or could, but I did have an MRI last fall that guided my oncologist on where to operate and what to take out, and it did not hurt a bit.

				<description>
				
				&lt;p&gt;Once you get used to the idea that you are not going to die this year or next, and maybe even be alive for quite some time, you dive back into what you always did.&amp;nbsp;Fortunately, I changed my life many years ago in order to survive to beat this latest attempt on my life.
