			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>MOTHER MARY’S MESSAGE</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My love, my life, O child divine</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Dove of Peace, the tree, the vine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I gave you life that you could walk</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Upon the Earth to heal and talk …</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">To those who saw the light within</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And cleansed their souls of mortal sin,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So Earth could be a mighty place</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Where love and light take equal space …</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Among the lands, the sea, the all</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So they could hear the clarion call.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Of you, of Source, the I AM THAT I AM</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">A ray of light, yet mortal man …</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Who walked the Earth and paid the price</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Of pride, of hate and sacrifice.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Your mission done – your life but brief</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And I remain alone in grief.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">My love, my life, O child divine</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">The Dove of Peace, the tree, the vine …</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">Where are you now?  My arms are bare.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I long to love, to hold, to care,</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">For all your needs, just one last time</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So come to me, O child of mine.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I see your face, your joy, your love.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">I rest at last – my son, my Dove.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">So take me home where we can rest</p>
<p style="text-align: center;">And Earth can be forever blessed.</p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><br class="spacer_" /></p>

		<description><![CDATA[Someone who had just been diagnosed with cancer inspiring words of wisdom]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>By Erma Bombeck (written after she found out she was dying of cancer)</strong></p>
<p>I would have gone to bed when I was sick instead of pretending the earth would go into a holding pattern if I weren&#8217;t there for the day.</p>
<p>I would have burned the pink candle sculpted like a rose before it melted in storage.</p>
<p>I would have talked less and listened more.</p>
<p>I would have invited friends over to dinner even if the carpet was stained, or the sofa faded.</p>
<p>I would have eaten the popcorn in the &#8216;goog&#8217; living room and worried much less about the dirt when someone wanted to light a fire in the fireplace.</p>
<p>I would have taken the time to listen to my grandfather ramble about his youth.</p>
<p>I would have shared more of the responsibility carried by my husband.</p>
<p>I would never have insisted the car windows be rolled up on a Summer day because my hair had just been teased and sprayed..</p>
<p>I would have sat on the lawn with my grass stains.</p>
<p>I would have cried and laughed less while watching television and more while watching life.</p>
<p>I would never had bought anything just because it was practical, wouldn&#8217;t show soil, or was guaranteed to last a lifetime.</p>
<p>Instead of wishing away every nine months of pregnancy, I&#8217;d have cherished every moment and realized that the wonderment growing inside me was the only chance in life to assist God in a miracle.</p>
<p>When my kids kissed me impetuously, I would never had said &#8216;later, now go get washed for dinner.&#8217; There would have been more &#8216;I love you&#8217;s&#8217; and more &#8216;I&#8217;m sorry&#8217;s.&#8217;</p>
<p>But mostly given another shot at life, I would seize every minute, look at it and really see it&#8230;live it and never give it back.</p>
<p>STOP SWEATING THE SMALL STUFF!!</p>
<p>Don&#8217;t worry about who doesn&#8217;t like you, who has more, or who is doing what. Instead cherish the relationships we have with those who do love us.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><img class="alignright size-full wp-image-3620" title="V1" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/V1.jpg" alt="V1" width="224" height="394" /></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong><img class="aligncenter size-full wp-image-3616" title="angel" src="http://moretolifemag.co.uk/wp-content/uploads/2009/11/angel.jpg" alt="angel" width="81" height="122" />We ask that the time of world peace is now</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Each person surrender to their higher selves and gain a new higher peace and serenity</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Leave behind the residual conditioning and emotions of the past and cultivate a new level of understanding, forgiveness and compassion</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Enabling the world&#8217;s population to live together in acceptance of each person&#8217;s individuality, diversity and beliefs</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Embracing a new level of stability, security, world peace, plenty for everyone, harmony and unity</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>As each person moves forward on this level of unconditional love, may they shine and become empowered as they recognise their individual strengths, gifts and talents, and accelerate their own learning, experience, knowledge and wisdom</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Let us understand how all of this can effect a new foundation and benefit the highest good of mankind and humanity</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>May each person make a difference in our World and from this life experience move forward with understanding and enlightenment</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>As this prayer is said with the highest levels of love, sincerity and integrity</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>In Love, and Light and Healing </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>So be it, so it is</strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>THESE WORDS WERE GIFTED TO VANESSA EDWARDS DURING JULY 2006. PLEASE FREELY SHARE THEM AROUND OUR WORLD. </strong></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>Vanessa was recently awarded the coveted Amassador for Peace award from the  Universal Peace Federation. </strong></p>

		<description><![CDATA[A beautiful poem if you are missing a loved one...]]></description>
			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong><span style="font-size: medium;">DO NOT CRY FOR ME MY CHILD</span></strong></p>
<p>Do not cry for me my child</p>
<p>Dry those tears</p>
<p>I have not gone from your life because you don&#8217;t see me</p>
<p>I am the sunshine that chases the rain away</p>
<p>I am the moon that makes the darkness light</p>
<p>You will still feel my soft touch if you are still</p>
<p>You will still feel my love that will never fade</p>
<p>And if you listen I am in your thoughts and you will hear me</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>Do not cry for my passing from the earth</p>
<p>Celebrate my life and the life that we shared</p>
<p>The laughter, the tears I dried for you</p>
<p>The memories we shared, happy and sad</p>
<p>We got through them together, and we still will</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>I am not in any pain</p>
<p>I feel healthy and strong</p>
<p>My mind is clear</p>
<p>My knees no longer ache</p>
<p>I can run!</p>
<p>I can laugh!</p>
<p>Please laugh with me</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
<p>I was here to learn my lessons from life</p>
<p>And now that time has passed</p>
<p>So I am home and I am happy</p>
<p>And when your time comes</p>
<p>I will be waiting with open arms</p>
<p>Until then you love your life so I can see you smile again</p>
<p>And I will walk beside you every day</p>
<p><br class="spacer_" /></p>
