The Life of Syren Franco

Ephesians 4:29 New International Version (NIV)"Do not let any unwholesome talk come out of your mouths, but only what is helpful for building others up according to their needs, that it may benefit those who listen." I have been thinking about this verse today. Which is funny because my sister in law posted a video which mentions this, actually a couple verses after this... I was thinking about the power of words.  Words are our way of evoking thought forms and manifesting them into feeling, which effects actions which build our reality. What does this verse say to me?  (This is my take not something a preacher told me)It's not specific as to what is corrupt, and that can be open to interpretation when weighed against other books within the bible, but I can tell you what sin is.  Sin is something whether thought or action, which deteriorates your life or the life of another and I extend this consideration to other life beyond just human.  Thus sins can be yo

I was sitting here working on transcriptions when a random thought dawned on me... A long time ago, I mean over a decade, I was accused of being spoiled and high maintenance.  Granted, I was spoiled, but I took offense to high maintenance.  I have never gotten my hair colored at a salon, for formal events my mom did my hair, and while my mom did buy me most things I wanted given she could afford them (I didn't want much though) all my new clothes in my later teen years were bought for me by me.  So high maintenance?

I very rarely have nightmares, and of course my dreams as a whole are epic journeys and a compilation of many themes so this nightmare was only a very short piece of my set of dreams last night. There was much before it and much after but this was what stood out.  I even woke up from it and woke Robert up in the process.  I snuggled up with him to prevent further dreams like it.When I sleep I need livecontact, and I am not ashamed to admit, if I do not have that, snuggling with a stuffed animal helps, not because I am a child, but because the coziness puts me in a state I would be in if I knew someone else was there.  Usually I'll hug a pillow, and when the dogs are around they end up sleeping at my feet and as long as I know there is that positive energy cultivating then I don't suffer sleep paralysis or nightmares.  Well the odd thing is there was human contact but it was mild during this dream. The dream: I boarded an airplane where the passenger sitting behind b
