Death by Email... Honestly???

It all starts innocently enough. Ya open your inbox. There in the subject line is the compelling title, “Read Alone… Especially the Poem”. Point. Click. And then the words meet your eyes: “ I believe whatever is in store for us will be for us. The poem is very true, unfortunately… Case 1: Kelly Sedey had one wish, for her boyfriend of three years to propose to her. Then one day when she was out to lunch David proposed! She accepted, but then had to leave because of a meeting. When she got to her office, she noticed her emails. She checked them, the usual stuff, but then she saw one she had never gotten before. It was this poem. She simply deleted it without even reading all of it. Big mistake! Later that evening, she received a phone call from the police. It was about David. He had been in an accident with an 18 wheeler. He didn’t survive!...”
Oh, and it does NOT end there, no! Of course not, there’s another example and then the poem. Who creates this email trash? Do they not have a hobby? Is there no service or charity they could contribute to? What the heck!
I know people do not like to take responsibility for their own lives, but the truth of existence is that we are co-creating this world! Our thoughts, our intentions, every word we type, every sound we speak manifests into being. There is a lot of resistance to this truth, because awareness has only been prevalent recently. Evidence comes from the popularity of the Secret, of speakers and authors like Mike Dooley (he’s soooo cool), Wayne Dyer, Abraham (Esther and Jerry) Hicks, Michael Beckwith, etc. Of course, many point to the fact that they can imagine themselves millionaires, and it has not yet happened. And who hasn’t wanted to find an adversary “off-ed” here and there… yet they stay in ones life. Proof it’s not working?
I’ll leave the arguments to the professionals. What I feel, what I perceive, what I know deep within is that each of us has an enormous role in the unfolding of the planet. We can focus on gratitude, on the magnitude of beauty, on the examples of love that surround us (no matter how small)… or we can write (or forward)emails that swirl in negativity. The choice is pretty dang clear! And death? That’s not so horrible… but why not “death by chocolate” if ya gotta go : )
