Korel Laloix: Heya
Aphrodite Macbain: Hi Korel - great to see you
Aphrodite Macbain: What's new in Koryland?
Korel Laloix: Way too much really.
Aphrodite Macbain:  :/
Korel Laloix: My life is sort of way out of balance at the moment... for good and bad.
Aphrodite Macbain: listens
Korel Laloix: Nothing I really want to talk about out in the open but thanks.
Aphrodite Macbain: OK
Korel Laloix: Just absorbing things as they appear.
Aphrodite Macbain: I hope you can resolve it
Korel Laloix: Just need to get through the rough parts... then things will settle back down.. I hope.
Aphrodite Macbain: have a friend to talk to?
Korel Laloix: How are you?
Korel Laloix: I do have lots of support... smiles.
Korel Laloix: So that is good.
Aphrodite Macbain: yes- a strong network of sympathetic friends is the best we can hope for.
Korel Laloix: I am very fortunate that way at least.
Korel Laloix: But big changes need to happen from time to time.
Aphrodite Macbain: oh yes- and it takes courage usually, to make those changes
Korel Laloix: In this case, not a lot of choice... but that is OK
Aphrodite Macbain: Where do you get your strength Korel?
Korel Laloix: I pull a lot of strength from friends and family... but really leaning on Reeba and my Faith as well.

Aphrodite Macbain: I wonder why it is so quiet. Usually we are busy today. I hope Bruce is OK.
Korel Laloix: I saw him on earlier.
Korel Laloix: Bruce.
Aphrodite Macbain: earlier today?
Korel Laloix: Yes, earlier today he was on, but we did not chat.

Aphrodite Macbain: BTW how are your studies going?
Korel Laloix: Start back tomorrow.
Aphrodite Macbain: You've had 2 weeks or more! Nice
Korel Laloix: Been a long break really.
Korel Laloix: Had a lot of time to get some me things done.
Korel Laloix: And figure some things out..... but a lot of things have happened as well... for good and bad.
Aphrodite Macbain: Do you believe in fate? That some things are meant to be? Or do you think it is up to you to determine your future?
Korel Laloix: A mix.
Korel Laloix: I think there are things we are meant to do.... and other things are as they fall.
Korel Laloix: What are you thoughts on that?
Aphrodite Macbain: I think there are some things we have little control over like where we were born and what we were born into, plus the system we live in
Aphrodite Macbain: But I also think we can make a lot of things happen ourselves
Korel Laloix: I agree with that.
Aphrodite Macbain: Hello Vorder
Korel Laloix: And I probably agree with that to an out of proportion extent.
Korel Laloix: Heya
Aphrodite Macbain: How are you Vorder? Come and join us
Vorder Forder: hello I am fine thank you nice to see you all
Aphrodite Macbain: Happy New Year!
--BELL--
Vorder Forder: yes and a happy, happy new year 2013
Korel Laloix: Going to be a very interesting year for sure.
Vorder Forder: what will happen?
Aphrodite Macbain: listens
Korel Laloix: Just a lot going on in my life.
Korel Laloix: And I graduate December next year... so that will be a big change regardless of anything else.
Vorder Forder: yes of course hope all your dreams will come true
Aphrodite Macbain: me too!
Aphrodite Macbain: What do you hope to do with your degree?
Vorder Forder: oh la la always brings a great energy to graduate
Korel Laloix: Well, I want to do some sort of research... but those jobs are fleeing the country right now.
Korel Laloix: So I will have to see what happens then.
Aphrodite Macbain: what kind of research?
Korel Laloix: I would prefer to do studies into long term health issues for women in industrial and sports occupations.
Aphrodite Macbain: sounds like a rich field
Korel Laloix: But... that is sort of specialized.... in this economy, I will take what I can get.
Aphrodite Macbain: I wonder where you would work
Korel Laloix: yes... but money to research our health issues has plummeted over the last four years.... go figure.
Aphrodite Macbain: hopefully that will change.
Korel Laloix: Not in the next four unfortunately.
Vorder Forder: it will change
Aphrodite Macbain: let's wait and hope
Korel Laloix: We can only hope.
Korel Laloix: I do have an offer to go to medical school... but I am tired.
Korel Laloix: So that could be my next step... but I want to get to work.
Vorder Forder: Energy Flows Where Attention Goes
Aphrodite Macbain: Yes- I just recently heard that quote somewhere else
Vorder Forder: what is your attention focused on?
Korel Laloix: Way too much at the moment.
Vorder Forder: yes it’s very common
Aphrodite Macbain: mine Forder?
Korel Laloix: But school wise, just graduating.
Vorder Forder: yes yours  ..)
Aphrodite Macbain: my heart
Aphrodite Macbain: and mending it
Aphrodite Macbain: relaxing
Vorder Forder: we tend to keep the focus in our mind
Aphrodite Macbain: that's where it all starts
Vorder Forder: every time we remember
Korel Laloix: I am very much into setting goals.
Vorder Forder: to focus on our heart or body it helps us
Korel Laloix: So I keep focused on them... I visit my goal lists in my journal regularly.
Aphrodite Macbain: yes?
