“Don’t go through life, grow through life.” ~ Eric Butterworth
During times of economic, social, political or personal upheaval, people more actively seek escape and look for things that bring them a sense of inner peace and fulfillment.
Some individuals look inward (finding ways to rebuild life through self-examination, spirituality and religion) and others search for answers outside of themselves – perhaps a bigger home, an exotic vacation, more money, a new car. Attached is an article that may provide some insight into why each of us explore different avenues and what we value when looking for personal fulfillment. http://bit.ly/LevZ8M.
Today is Film Friday. Our focus is top spiritual movies that help people discover inner ways of finding satisfaction in their lives. Here are ten suggestions:
- What the Bleep?
- Peaceful Warrior
- The Celestine Prophecy
- The Secret
- From Ambition to Meaning
- Wishes Fulfilled
- Conversations with God
- Small Miracles (Family appropriate)
- The Blue Butterfly
- The Kid (Family appropriate)
- You Can Heal Your Life
I do more reading and writing than anything else, so I have only seen a few of these films. It’s time I put down my reading glasses and do more “inner work” by gaining new perspectives through film. A journey through cinema can be equally as satisfying.
If you were to cast a vote, what is your favorite spiritual movie? I would love to hear more suggestions from our readers. Click on the comment section, below and send it in.
Have a good Memorial Day weekend, everyone!

“The bond with a true dog is as lasting as the ties of this earth will ever be.” ~ Konrad Lorenz
Last Friday, I wrote a blog about the top dog films, and it had a very nice following. If you missed it, visit this link http://bit.ly/Kkywjs.
In this town of Steamboat Springs, Colorado dogs rule! It is as if owning a dog is a sign of prestige. I love dogs and I’ve always had one in my life except for brief periods of time when I have been “between dogs,” like right now.
I’ve often wondered whether people’s obsession with their pets (specifically canines) is unique to the United States. Do families in other countries place as much importance on their animals well being as their own?
It has been said that people who own dogs live longer and are more personally fulfilled. A study in the correlation between countries, dog ownership or not, and average life expectancy would be fascinating. Don’t you think? It would make for a very interesting global film study (by way of documentary). I’d be up for traveling the world with the objective of gathering information on the importance and value people put on their dogs in various countries. Of course, we’d need the help of some independent film investors . Perhaps a film like that has already been produced, and I am not aware of it.
I can hear all the cat owners, now! “What about us?” they are asking. We find just as much satisfaction and companionship with felines!
If anyone decides to invest in this proposed venture, please let me know way in advance – before my ship comes in and before I grab a flight out. I need to find a travel companion. My constant canine companion of 17 years went to doggie heaven last November. I sure do miss the ole girl, and it could take me a while to decide on a new breed.
On second thought, I’d better travel without a dog. Sometimes dogs are too territorial and they fight with other pooches. We don’t need any more soured international relationships; there is enough fighting going on in this world as it is! I am looking for personal fulfillment.
Is that not the cutest picture you’ve ever seen? It made my day! Have a fulfilling Friday, everyone! This blog brought to you by www.CornerstoneFulfillmentService.com.

“A person without a sense of humor is like a wagon without springs. It’s jolted by every pebble on the road. ~ Henry Ward Beecher
The Department of Behavioral Sciences at my alma mater, Johnson State College in northernVermont, is involved in a research project on infant humor. http://on.fb.me/KDvKjj. Professor Gina Mireault’s findings were presented at the International Conference on Infant Studies in Baltimore in 2010. Since then, the study on infant humor has gained a very positive response worldwide from infancy researchers. In October 2012, this project will air on PBS’ NOVA. A very fascinating subject, I think.
Infant humor leads me to wonder whether an individual’s feelings of a life time of happiness and fulfillment has it’s beginnings with parenting and in the home or is it innate; a human being’s personality? How much of our lifetime experience is determined by whether a child is raised in home filled with laughter versus a home with an austere environment? In my opinion, there could be a very real correlation.
We have so often heard that “laughter is the best medicine.” http://bit.ly/ZRPQp. According to research, humor, positive attitudes and faith are all components to rapid healing and fulfilling living. In recent years, hospitals have begun inviting professional clowns to visit sick patients. There is a whole website devoted to the art of humor for healing. It is called www.AHeart4Clowing.com. Books, audios and training videos are available through this site for people who are interested in sharing laughter with others and making life brighter for people suffering from an illness.
I look forward to seeing the NOVA production on infant humor. Perhaps the PBS production will answer some of my ponderings. I’ll keep my eye on TV programming for it. Stay tuned to this site, All Things Fulfilling, and we will share what we find out.

When you have vision it affects your attitude. Your attitude is optimistic rather than pessimistic.” ~ Charles R. Swindoll
All winter it felt as if I was trying to describe a scene, while looking through dirty windows; everything was cloudy and blurred. No matter how hard I tried, I could not find a clear vision for my writing project.
Suddenly, it is as if a shade has been lifted from the window pane, and things are now crystalline. I have made more progress over the past few days on my project than I had in a few months.
Did the rant I posted the other day entitled “Moving Heaven and Earth” actually work? Or did change come with the official arrival of spring? What is it that has given rise to a renewed spirit and creativity? Perhaps it is inside of me.
It really does not matter what the catalyst behind the incoming stream of inspiration is. Now I’ve got better focus! A clear direction and faith in what I am writing about. I will keep going and not stop until I have reached my goals.
Today’s blog post is just one way to celebrate the arrival of a shipment of fulfilling thought. There are plenty more ideas on how I can celebrate success as I move closer to the culmination of my endeavor, here’s a list http://bit.ly/A8gXuR.
Today, I will simply lionize by saying “I feel great and have the courage and momentum needed to finish this publishing project!”

“We could never have loved the earth so well if we had had no childhood in it.” ~George Eliot
Ok, I am a push-over for nostalgia, I’ll admit . Last week I stumbled upon a book in the library that satisfied my need to sometimes look back. Patty Jane’s House of Curl tickled me pink with its references to Dippity Do, Motorola televisions, permanent solutions, gingersnaps, jukeboxes, and Duz detergent.
The author of this book, Lorna Landvik, writes with warm humor and has crafted a book of charm without the storyline being too sappy sweet. Much of the special appeal of the tale is a result of where the narrative takes place – in Minnesota among a strong community of Norwegians.
Landvik effectively bridges the gap between an era gone by and present day by approaching issues that have always existed, but were much less talked about. The human emotions of the characters in dealing with topics presented in the book run the spectrum in a very real sense.
I really liked this book. Check it out of your local library! Pour yourself a grape Nehi, settle into your armchair, pull up a footstool and enjoy a delightful read. Have a handkerchief and the antimacassars on the arm of the chair ready to catch the tears of both laughter and sorrow; you may possibly need them. Patty Jane’s House of Curl is a fun and fulfilling read on a very humanistic level.

“I feel the capacity to care is the thing which gives life its deepest significance.” ~ Pablo Casals
Did you know that today is “I Matter, You Matter” Day all over the world? Truly, it is.
This International day of recognition, established by www.youareneveralonefoundation.org celebrates the value of each person’s life as friends, family, community members and to the world at large.
You Are Never Alone Foundation is a “small Vermont grassroots non-profit organization that shares a message of caring, connection and hope by reminding each person they matter.” “Caring coins” distributed by this organization are small tokens inscribed with the words “You are Never Alone.” First given to troubled teens, to senior citizens, to hospice patients and to military troops from Vermont headed to war in Afghanistan, little by little, “the good news of hope” has gathered momentum worldwide. These coins are now available in English and Spanish and have traveled to places far beyond Vermont such as Uganda, Guatemala, Bangladesh and Ecuador!
In celebration of “I Matter, You Matter” Day, a newly-designed wooden coin is now available with these very simple, yet meaningful words. Great as small, affordable gifts, they maybe ordered individually or in larger sets, perfect for anyone who needs to hear that they are cared about.
Let’s be frank; fact of the matter is there are lots of ways you can tell someone you care without spending a dime. Looking for other fulfilling ways to touch people’s hearts on this “I Matter, You Matter Day”? Please visit this link http://bit.ly/54RPmR.
Connect with special someone today. Help spread the word that each one of us counts. Have a wonderful day!

Last night the Bud Werner Memorial Library, shook things up with a theatrical performance called Shinsai Steamboat: Theater for Japan. www.steamboatlibrary.org. It was just one of seventy like events that are happening on stages in the United States to honor the victims of the earthquake that devastated Japan a year ago. However, the library in this town was the only library in the world to host the event.http://n.pr/A1e8TC.
A local contingent of readers quickly brought the performance together after having heard about the event through Anne Cattaneo, of the Lincoln Center Theatre. www.lct.org when she was visiting Steamboat last week.
The pressure was on the readers for this last minute event.The five 10 minute plays were staged with focus on the dialogue, rather than other elements of theatre such as set and costume design. The short plays effectively communicated the concerns of Japanese government and their citizens in rebuilding their lives in the aftermath of these two back to back natural catastrophes.
Kudos to the organizer of this fundraising event, Stuart Handloff and to the readers, too! Well done.

Marriage is a promise. Not just between the couple but to the community at large, to generations past and to those yet to be born. ~ Heritage.org
Why do people decide to independently publish a book? Often times it is because they want to educate and inform. The author of Out of Focus …Again, Ann Kochenberger had exactly that motive in mind, when she decided to publish her book.
Ann wanted to share, with others, her struggles with depression and how she has found personal success in living a fulfilling life despite having bi-polar disorder. This disease affects more than 17 million people, in the United States alone.
Unabashedly, and with good humor too, Ann describes how her bouts of depression have affected her relationship with her husband of more than 30 years, her parenting and with her family, too.
Finding My Way Back from Depression, Ann’s new e-book directly speaks to the coping strategies that saved her from debilitating symptoms of depression.
Gary Kochenberger, PhD has much of value to say in his companion e-book Depression…A Guide for Caregivers from the role of being a protector and nurturer of a loved one with the disease. He shares his perspectives on how their marriage has survived, how the caregiver can be pro-active in learning about the disorder, some of the mistakes Gary has made, trigger points that a partner can watch for and help their loved one avoid.
If someone you know suffers the effects of bi-polar disorder, these companion books are great resources. The books are written from very personal and non-clinical points of view. The book in-print Out of Focus…Again as well as Ann and Gary’s e-books can be ordered on-line through www.outoffocusagain.com. The e-books are also sold through Amazon.
Both Ann and her husband Gary are dedicated to helping others who are trying to cope with a loved one with bipolar disease. As a couple, they frequently speak to groups and families about depression and bipolar disorder.
Check in on author Ann Kochenbergers’s blog on www.outoffocusagain.com. She shares all kinds of information about living a fulfilling life with bi-polar disorder.

On Monday I posted a blog called the Art of Listening. I promised to share more information on All Things Fulfilling about H.A.Levin’s book “A History of Horses Told by Horses: Horse Sense for Humans.” So here it is ~
This book is told from the perspective of a horse. Thoughts are communicated from horse to human (the author) telepathically. Essentially – What would horses say about humans and their world if they could talk?
Hal, the author, is a spiritual healer who communicates with animals. Through his telepathic capacities he points out from a horse’s point of view, that our society has grown too complex, leaving a detachment between people and the natural world. The reason women and horses form particularly close relationships is that women are more open to inspiration and enlightenment. Horses want women to gain self confidence through their relationships with equines, so they will feel the ability to change the course of the world. How about it women? Are you up to the task?
Author H.A. Levin (Hal) travels to many countries to learn about various species of horses and how man and animal have accomplished things together throughout civilization. There are chapters on the history of numerous kinds of equine species, such as:
- sporting horses
- work horses
- war horses
- race horses
- performance horses
This author has planned a series of books about the history of animals and their place in our world, please visit http://bit.ly/AuzEE3 Habitat for Humanity is a publishing partner in the The History of Horses Told by Horses.
For non-animal lovers, ”Letters to An Angel: How to Love Life and “ Quotations for Successful Living“ are more books from H.A. Levin. They share with the reader how Hal has “learned to look for a rich and fulfilling life despite obstacles or fear of failure.”

Valentines Greetings from me to you on this winter white February Day from Steamboat Springs, Colorado.
Love comes in all kinds of forms and unexpected ways, meaning something different to each of us. Today, I simply wish to quote one the brightest stars in history on the business of living life and finding personal fulfillment ~Albert Einstein. He said it all. “There are only two ways to live your life. One is as though nothing is a miracle. The other is as though everything is a miracle.”
“Make this day and every day about all things fulfilling in your life!

During times of economic, social, political or personal upheaval, people more actively seek escape and look for things that bring them a sense of inner peace and fulfillment.
