It's how you deal with failure
that determines how you achieve success.

Adventure
Adventure isn't hanging on a rope
off the side of a mountain.
Adventure is an attitude
that we must apply
to the day to day obstacles of life -
facing new challenges,
seizing new opportunities,
testing our resources against the unknown
and in the process,
discovering our own unique potential.

Doors
In the universe,
there are things that are known,
and things that are unknown,
and in between, there are doors.

Dreams
The greatest achievement was at first
and for a time a dream.
The oak sleeps in the acorn;
the bird sleeps in the egg;
and in the highest vision of the soul,
a waking angel stirs.
Dreams are the seedlings of realities...

Life
Not one shred of evidence supports the notion
that life is serious.

First, I must make a slight correction to my last editorial. It was brought to my attention that in fact my favourite Hershey Chocolate Kiss commercials are the figure skating ones. I can’t image how I made such an error?
I recently read a fascinating book entitled “The Hidden Messages in Water” by Masaru Emoto, a Japanese scientist. Emoto photographed the ice crystals formed by freezing different types of water. Then he exposed the natural spring water to different types of music and photographed the resulting crystal formations. He then took his experimentations a step further and wrote different words (love, gratitude, fool, thank you, etc.) and affixed the words to the bottle or glass of water and then photographed the resulting crystals.
If you ever get a chance to read the book, you will be amazed at the variety and sheer beauty of the crystals that formed when the words “love,” “gratitude,” and “thank you” were used. Interestingly enough, words like “fool” either formed very distorted crystals or no crystals at all.
As fascinating as this all is, it does have implications for all of us. Not only can we have an impact on our fresh water supplies by the words we say and think, but more importantly, on ourselves. As our bodies consist of roughly 70% water what impact do you think the words you say to yourself and others have? What impact are your own thoughts having on your body and health? Think about it!

Appreciation
Appreciation can make a day - even change a life.
Your willingness to put it into words
is all that is necessary.

Past and Future
Time is not at all what it seems.
It does not flow in only one direction and the future exists simultaneously with the past.

From the Editor's Computer
2007 marks the 100th Anniversary of the well known Hershey Chocolate Kiss. Everyone can recognize one of the famous chocolates with its distinctive shape and foil wrapper with that little identifying piece of paper poking out of the top.
Though the years Hershey has had some very creative ways of marketing the simple Chocolate Kisses. My favourites are the TV ads at Christmas time.
There are more flavours of Hershey Chocolate Kisses available than ever before. Have you tried:
· Milk chocolate Kisses
· Dark chocolate Kisses
· Hugs (Kisses)
· Almond Kisses
· Caramel Kisses
· Mint Chocolate Kisses
· Candy Cane Kisses
· Or the other varieties
We can all learn something from that simple Hershey Chocolate Kiss. The chocolate is the same, it is recognizable, it hasn’t changed its essence. Yet...in recent years we have various flavours to chose from, new colours of wrappers, and new fillings.
Like the chocolates, we can change and grow and develop different areas of our lives, all while keeping what makes us distinctly “us” the same and recognizable.
This Valentine’s Day when you have a chocolate, remember the lesson of the Hershey Kiss!
