  Farewell Address Oval Office

  On January 11, 1989, Reagan gave the following farewell address to the nation from the Oval Office. The two things I’m proudest of are the economic recovery which created 19 million new jobs and that America is respected again in the world.  
  In 1980 pundits said our economic policies would cause inflation and collapse while our foreign policies would lead to war. Instead, tax cuts created “the longest peacetime expansion in our history” and “an explosion in research and new technology.” We knocked “down protectionist walls abroad instead of erecting them at home.” 
  We rebuilt our defenses and saw a new peacefulness around the globe. “Countries across the globe are turning to free markets and free speech and turning away from the ideologies of the past.” 
  I went into politics to protect something precious. “Our Constitution is a document in which ‘We the People’ tell the government what it is allowed to do. In the 1960s the government was taking our freedom with rules and regulations and confiscatory taxes.  
  People are “not free unless government is limited. There's a clear cause and effect here that is as neat and predictable as a law of physics: As government expands, liberty contracts.” 
  Are “we doing a good enough job teaching our children what America is and what she represents in the long history of the world?” “America is freedom -- freedom of speech, freedom of religion, freedom of enterprise. And freedom is special and rare.” Let’s start with more attention to American history. 
  I see America as a “shining city upon a hill” teeming with all kinds of people living in harmony, with ports humming with commerce, with doors open to anyone with the will to get here, a beacon and magnet for all who must have freedom.

  Reclaiming Your Community - You...

  Majora Carter

  How can we solve the problem of persistent poverty in low-status communities? Majora Carter argues that these areas need a talent-retention strategy, just like the ones companies have. Retaining homegrown talent is a critical part of creating a strong local economy that can resist gentrification. But too many people born in low-status communities measure their success by how far away from them they can get. 
   
   
   
  Carter, who could have been one of them, returned to the South Bronx and devised a development strategy rooted in the conviction that these communities have the resources within themselves to succeed. She advocates measures such as building mixed-income instead of exclusively low-income housing to create a diverse and robust economic ecosystem; showing homeowners how to maximize the long-term value of their property so they won't succumb to quick-cash offers from speculators; and keeping people and dollars in the community by developing vibrant "third spaces"—restaurants, bookstores, and places like Carter's own Boogie Down Grind Cafe. 
   
    
   
  This is a profoundly personal book. Carter writes about her brother's murder, how turning a local dumping ground into an award-winning park opened her eyes to the hidden potential in her community, her struggles as a woman of color confronting the "male and pale" real estate and nonprofit establishments, and much more. It is a powerful rethinking of poverty, economic development, and the meaning of success.

  In this guided meditation book, we will be searching for the core pattern that had been blocked your chakra in your first 7 years of development. What is a core pattern? The core pattern is the blocked emotions or wounded traumas that are stored in your body from the first 8 years of your life. If the traumas have not been healed, you will feel the emotions of the seed pattern again and again in your life until you heal the emotions.  
  There are 7 chakras located in our body system. They are connected to the 7 dimensions in the universe. Each represents an energetic part of our psyche. Each chakra vibrates in its frequency. The frequency also creates the color of each chakra. Your chakra energy system is developed through the first 7 years of your life through the unfolding process of each chakra. 
  In this book, we will Find out the seed pattern from childhood Release the traumas at the core Regain the power of your life Transform your past childhood trauma Break the toxic cycles Heal any toxic relationship Feel lighter happier calmer Open the space to receive love and abundance Get support and solutions from within Embark a new chapter of your life and much more
