Arsenic Soup For Lovers – The Darker Side of Human Nature

Posted by Viola Woolcott

“Arsenic Soup for Lovers” is all else BUT heart-warming or inspirational. It is about infidelity – revenge – the desperate search for a spouse – deception – and yes, even murder.

It’s about the darker side of human nature. Arsenic Soup is tinged with humour. But you will find though that many of the stories aren’t funny.

If “Chicken Soup” doesn’t work, click on the link below and get your copy of:

“Arsenic Soup for Lovers“: by Georgia Z. Post

Arsenic Soup for Lovers is for you if you are seeking a quick read or yes, if you suffer from a broken heart and are seeking revenge.

For a sample read: click here: “Widow for Rent“

Personally I find it quite a funny read, but if I had the choice I prefer “Chicken Soup for the Soul”. What do you think?

Perception Defines and Shapes What We Experience

It’s been a gorgeous day today with lots of sunshine and of course, one has to make the most of it while it lasts, so I accepted a lunch invite of my mate Jack.

After lunch we went outside in the garden to enjoy the sunshine. Over a coffee and like so many times before we got caught up in quite a LONG conversation about life.

Jack is easy to talk to, but conversations can be challenging as well as deep. We talked about perception before and have once again come to the conclusion that most people underestimate the power of perception.

Jack reminded me that it doesn’t matter where our external reality originates from. There are no excuses. What we are dealing with is our perception. Perception defines and shapes what we experience in every life situation. That we can change our thinking in a blink of an eye. We have choice. And all it takes is to make that choice and stay focused.

Remember:
You don’t see things as they are – You see things as you are, as you perceive them.

Albert Einstein Quote: Man of Value

Very well put, don’t you think? Don’t you just love his wisdom? What quotes do you like?

“TRY NOT TO BECOME A MAN OF SUCCESS BUT RATHER A MAN OF VALUE”

~ Albert Einstein – US (German-born) physicist (1879 – 1955)

The Paradox of Our Age – the 14th Dalai Lama

We have bigger houses but smaller families;
more conveniences, but less time.
We have more degrees but less sense;
more knowledge but less judgment;
more experts, but more problems;
more medicines but less healthiness.
We’ve been all the way to the moon and back,
but have trouble in crossing the street to meet our new neighbour.
We built more computers to hold more copies than ever,
But have less real communication;
We have become long on quantity,
but short on quality.
These are times of fast foods but slow digestion;
Tall men but short characters;
Steep profits but shallow relationships.
It’s a time when there is much in the window
But nothing in the room.
