Beautiful


The new maid at my house is enough potential to sow the seeds of jealousy in me. Her face is oval shaped with high cheekbones and smooth skin. Her eyes aere almond-shaped, flawless, the shape of her lips is wonderful.

I think she's running away from her village to this city since she became the village flower there. Surely she lived of many troublesome because she was always contested by too many men. Meanwhile, if I were to be in her position in her village, I can already imagine how the people there will immediately move to another city.

Being beautiful is certainly different from being clever, or what people say as inner beauty, that beauty is in the course will shine out and make us look more attractive. For now, I just want to stick with the outward appearance.

During this time I feel uncomfortable when suddenly the title of "pretty" attached to my name. My nose flared, my cheeks were burning, and my eyes were only able to stare at the floor. I almost never feel beautiful. Furthermore, I kept reminding myself not to bother looked in the mirror to check my appearance. If not exhaled a long breath, then I would pout because I was always disappointed to find what was in the mirror image.

One second I would be swayed by the appearance of myself, of course the first thing that happened was I met the lovely models who glared at me from top to bottom. And because my head just as high as her waist, I was not able to hear what her comments about me.

I have many friends with beautiful faces. A lot. And really beautiful. I often stared at every inch of their face and suddenly wanted to take the insecticide. I also believed, my friends sometimes had loss of memory, consequently they praised me one day. While smiling, I stammered in thank, but in the bottom of my heart I was sure they forgot to take their medication, and hence they were hallucinating.

When I reflect and its reflection makes ​​me speechless and in awe, then I know, out there, I just only need a maximum of five minutes for at least spilling the food sauce to my dress in the chest. One minute ago, I may just be a fascinating woman in the restroom, but when I step out with my chin lifted up more than usual, my eyes almost blind due to another woman who is so bright because of extraordinary beautiful.

I know there will be days when I do not want to feel out of the house and just sleep all day and dream to be beautiful as Daria Werbowy, for example, or Tamara Lazic, Lise Anne Marsal, or mmmm... maybe Nasalis Larvatus ... ehehehe ...

Daria Werbowy

Lise Anne Marsal


Tamara Lazic

And maybe what I need on a day-to-day as it's just to remember the words of my friends that, ... well, I can look pretty. For example, when it rains, with a knitted coat and hair in pigtails, and thick glasses though, I still get compliments.

So maybe I do not have to be a peacock which always looks smug with her appearance, and more importantly, I also do not have to equate myself with ostrich which  more often submerges her head into the ground in shame. What I should remember is when others appear more beautiful than me, of course it's not the end of everything. I try to believe that I am still beautiful in my own way.

And if I still twiddling my eyes, not satisfied with the appearance of myself, I always consult with my maid earlier. I'm sure she can educate me to be the next village flower.

News Headlines (510) 23 June - 29 June 2014




ONLINE TODAY

23 June 2014 : A financial transaction makes you question a rather important component of your life -- but it's less of a problem than an opportunity. Roll with it and see where it leads, but don't break the bank. If you get the chance for a one-on-one meeting with your boss or if you're asked to give an impromptu presentation, jump on it. You can further your personal agenda with the greatest of ease at the moment, and you'll look great doing it. Your powers of communication are on fire, and you're able to be simultaneously forceful and charming -- a winning combination, indeed. It's a very good time to go after what you want.

24 June 2014 : You're a little worried about clutter -- or possibly a notable absence in your home furnishings. Whichever way the pendulum has swung, you need to help guide it back to balance. If any sign is equipped to handle arguments, it's you. Your ruling planet is Mars, the ancient God of War, and this means your astrological job is assertion. You'd never admit it, of course, but deep down, there's something about the adrenaline conjured by conflict that's positively addictive to you. So if, quite out of the blue, you need to take a stand, whether it's for yourself or for a loved one, that definitely won't be a problem. Just warn any innocent bystanders before the chase scene begins.

25 June 2014 :  Your fun, flirty energy keeps those around you active and engaged throughout the day. If you're single, now is a great time to show interest in one or more hotties. If you're partnered, try not to make them too jealous! Life is easy today, especially with the universe in such a generous mood. Everything is sweet and goes down smoothly, and you should feel quite fortunate. A few nagging doubts might threaten to ruin your fun, but don't get all bent out of shape just because things aren't perfect. Acknowledge your issues, then tell them to get lost, at least for the time being. Once that's settled, you can get back to the business at hand.

26 June 2014 :  When did life get this easy? Spoiler alert -- things are due to return to normal pretty soon, so you may want to coast along as much as you can before you have to actually start working again. You can easily keep from embarrassing yourself by watching what you say a little more carefully. It's weird how many blow-ups can be averted with a just little forethought. If everything goes south anyway, try a three-second rule when it comes to communication: Count slowly to three before you say everything that's zipping through that brain of yours toward your eager mouth. It's not as hard as it seems.

27 June 2014 : A family member comes to you with a problem or concern that only you can help with. It may interfere with your plans, but your obligations are shaping your life for the better, so go ahead and help out. Your mouth is going to get away from you again, in a very big way. No, this isn't really becoming a habit: You're just totally out of control on a verbal level lately. The good news is that while you'll wonder who that man behind the curtain is -- the one who's causing these strange and unusual things to fly out of your mouth -- you'll also receive such a happy reaction from your dear ones that you might end up sending him a thank-you note.

28 June 2014 : Today is perfect for thinking about energy and how you use it -- but not so much for actually doing things with it. You're more reflective and can make sense of more than mundane concerns. You've just about had it with that certain individual who's had it in for you. You're perfectly prepared to handle this, face to face, with the authority figures. The problem this individual may have -- and may not have thought of before they started this campaign against you -- is that you've been following all the rules, and they haven't. Should you take mercy on them? It depends on the quality of their groveling.

29 June 2014 : Kids feature in your day in some way. If you've got some of your own, it's a no-brainer; if not, you may get called upon to watch over some young ones or end up yelling at rowdy teens.

The film tells the story of a vengeful fairy, driven to curse an infant princess, only to discover that the child may be the one person who can restore peace to their troubled land. But what story is really being told?



NEWS & POLITICS : Iraq Civil War Coming, Ukraine Fighting Gets Worse, IRS Lost Emails Targeting Conservative Groups. President Obama does not want to attack the ISIS or ISIL forces that have come down from Syria, and he does not want the Iranians to defend Iraq and gain influence. The Obama Administration has armed the Syrian rebels that are in part al-Qaeda related. If he starts bombing them, the campaign to oust Assad in Syria will be over. If he helps the government in Iraq, he will in turn be helping the Iranians.

Meanwhile, the Russians are massing forces on the Ukraine border according to NATO. Heavy fighting is reported in Eastern Ukraine between Kiev government forces and pro-Russian separatists. It is also reported a military convoy stretching 10 miles is on the road between Moscow and Ukraine.

The IRS claims it lost two years of emails from a key figure in the IRS targeting scandal. Lois Lerner's emails are gone along with other emails of people who have been accused of illegally targeting conservative groups. This is a juvenile and idiotic claim because emails are always backed up on multiple servers.

"The international bankers through lending capital to move freely in conventional banks have actually been destroying human civilization on Earth, a place where our children are looking for a bite of rice"

Far away there in the country, a wave of force is born, which will grip the world from all angles. Political, economic, military engineering, propaganda, heinous murder, or destroy life through banking debts and money world monopoly.

Another fact is, at this time, 90% of the Jews in the world are descended from the Khazars, or more commonly known as Ashkenazi Jews. These people have lied to the whole world that the land of Israel is their ancestral land, whereas the actual homeland of their ancestors in Georgia which is located 800 miles from Israel.

And whatever stories we have heard, during this period, the history of the destruction of human civilization is being started.

My dear handsome bald,
I'm also waiting for an expression of your thoughts on Orientalism, mmm ...maybe it is a kind of Zionism slut wrapped in Islamic studies.

Much love for you, mwah!

J'étais seul près des flots, par une nuit d'étoiles.
Pas un nuage aux cieux, sur les mers pas de voiles.
Mes yeux plongeaient plus loin que le monde réel.
Et les bois, et les monts, et toute la nature,
Semblaient interroger dans un confus murmure
Les flots des mers, les feux du ciel.

Et les étoiles d'or, légions infinies,
A voix haute, à voix basse, avec mille harmonies,
Disaient, en inclinant leurs couronnes de feu ;
Et les flots bleus, que rien ne gouverne et n'arrête,
Disaient, en recourbant l'écume de leur crête :
C'est le Seigneur, le Seigneur Dieu !

Interpreting Madonna with Reception Theory





One device that we can rely on in order to uncover the mystery dramatic of a person's thinking when interacting with an object of culture is media reception theory. This theory questions the study about how we as subjects receive and interpret the text in nature of media culture.

What is the first thought in your mind when reading the word "Madonna" in the title above? What picture appears? An icon of the Mother of Jesus, or images about the outrageous doings of the celebrity world? When you read or see or hear the pop super star Madonna, do you enjoy or just fed up with her? One marker "Madonna" turns out to have the iconic power over the possible meanings of a certain generation : beautiful or sexy, sacred or unclean, all can be present in one's mind.

Is it worth it to the media -- in this case is the film, television, music or magazines, etc -- presenting matters of sexuality or violence? And then how do we then accept such media texts?

Reception studies examine the ways when a text is received by the audience, for example when someone is reading romance novels (Radway, 1984), when interpreting the broadcast of the BBC (Morley, 1980), when absorbed in examining the classical German literature (Iser, 1978; Jauss , 1982), when watching live event in the media (Dayan & Katz, 1992) or while interacting with any media text.

Discourse obtained through various media then becomes a personal discourse and contribute to our conception of the tect "meaning". As readers, we can give a number of diverse meanings of the text. What is (the meaning of) something for you? That is the purpose and focus of Reception studies.

Reception studies help us in exploring the media culture by providing a foundation of analysis about the various ways that are so complex, varied and challenging when readers to decode and interpret media texts. This approach is contrary to "the effects" study of traditional media which is based on model of transmission bullet theory. If it is not based on the study of the reception, the media research tends to assume the existence of a total conformity between audiences with media messages, as hinted in the tradition of myth "hypodermic needle" in the effectiveness of the media; media research also assumes that the audience was so foolish creature immune to the influence of (media) as referenced in the theory of "limited effects"; or constructed in the conception of "mixed effects" character.

The first view sees the media has an effect entirely, so that -- in the case of Madonna, for example -- sexuality promoted by Madonna assumed to transform audiences into sex slaves or sex devotees.

The second view assumes the media generally has no effect, then Madonna's exhibitionism lust will have no meaning.

One problem associated with studies that emphasize about "Effect" is on an overly simplified notion of the unclear media message is, whether then effective or not, and also the idea that overly simplifies the problem of measuring the behavioral effects caused by the media. Behind the debate about the effects there's always stereotypes about passive audience. Yet, in reality, there are also public who always be vigilant and critical, in contrast to those implicated in the behavioral effects of media research.

"Madonna is truly provocative and sexy woman. She likes to express her self  with very alluring way. In concert with her music, she expose her self and what she believes. I believe what she does is good. Many people are afraid to be themselves and hide behind the mask of a pseudonym. Madonna gives a boost to people to freely express their passion and do what they want to do. Madonna is the figure of this era and really has a strong determination. She takes the decision on her own and more as a leader than just a follower .... "

"When I think about Madonna, my curiosity piqued because she is constantly changing her imagery and does something to make someone else offended. She is an entertaintment. She performes with surprising values ​​  and I become a victim of the things she does..."

The statements above are articulation of self-awareness that can't be raised when they are only presented by questionnaire with limited alternatives, or when they are being "measured according to a particular dose" as done in the media effects research.

Encoding models -- decoding ala Stuart Hall -- provide a theoretical advantage when applied in the study of reception on media culture. These models are in the opposite position, either by direct current models as well as models of the effects of passive acceptance of a long transmission (Hall, 1994:253). Sender as the original message. The message is one-dimensional, and it takes effect on the recipient behavior. Contrary to the above model, Hall filed a model that asserted that both the creation and reception of a message were not "transparent" and "one-dimensional" like that. Hall wrote, "The message is a complex structure of meanings" (1994:254​​).



The meaning is not fixed but rather multi-layered (polysemic) and multireferential. Madonna can put herself as a "good girl" or "bad girl" in a music video, and audiences may respond to different aspects of the message and with different ways as well. Semiotics and structuralism -- in line with the idea Althuser and Gramsci --  allowing Hall to identify the complexity of the text in the media and in how people receive and interpret the media texts.

In the reception analysis, the text of Madonna taken by readers / listeners / viewers as meaningful discourse and interpreted with a certain meaning. According to Hall (1980, in During 1993: 93) "It is this set of decoded meanings roomates 'have an effect', influence, entertain, instruct or persuade, with very complex perceptual, cognitive, emotional, ideological or behavioral Consequences".

In particular, individuals who are in a different position in the social structure of society -- views of class, race or gender will take different codes and sub-cultures -- will play a role in the decoding and interpretation of the text. For example, in a survey conducted on 168 students (81 of whom were male or almost 50.9% of the entire sample) asked, "What is the meaning of Madonna for you?"

Although nearly 28% of both men and women tended to see it in relation to music and business, more women (30% of the total sample) than men (21%) depicting Madonna primarily in relation to the "personality". More men than women (38%: 24%) described the meaning of Madonna as a "bad girl" who created bad popular culture. Not surprisingly --  in the case of this question and others -- gender appears to carry different implications in decoding and assessment of the Madonna. Gender, economic class, race-based identity, and other social differences play an important role in our decoding of the media text.

Reception studies is an umbrella used by Janet Staiger (1992:7) in classifying the three branches of interpretation theory based on the reader. This reader-based theory of reading into the intellectual roots in the analysis of the reception of the experience in media culture.

One of the branches of "reception aesthetics" is derived from the German marked by the work of Hans Robert Jauss and Wolfgang Iser using the phenomenological tradition of Edmund Husserl to test "the decoding experience".

Meanwhile, another branch of "reader-response criticism" appears through the work of Stanley Fish, Jonathan Culler, Norman Holland and others who have investigated the interaction of the text with the reader in general. And the third branch is the "reception theory" that has been applied in various ways to see how "reading" with a combination of the German tradition of "reader-response criticism". In order not to be confused with this branching, Stiger suggested labels that -- generically -- called it "reception theory". Reception theory tries to how a text decoded, thus receptions study does not deal with the life story of Madonna and Madonna appearance, but rather on how the audience receives Madonna text.

How far we can fill the gaps in the text for the experts regarded as an important contribution in the reception theory. Robert Allen (1992) summarized the reception theory through the notion of "gap filling". We read the words, evoking images and impressions, comparing it with other text, and make a picture based on our own experience. What we do will vary due to differences in culture, experience group, and our psychological. Audience from diverse cultural backgrounds will fill the gap with a very different way when they watch the Dallas series, soap operas about the Texas oil millionaires entrepreneurs. Similarly, the study of the British soap opera Brookside and Eastender (Root, 1986), Crossroads (Brunsdon, 1981) or Corronation Street (Dyer et. Al, 1981) study of Dallas found that women more effectively filled gaps in the soap opera (Ang , 1985) and interpretations of various variety shows more widespread, especially among different ethnic groups - Israeli, Arab, Russian, American, and other (Liches and Katz, 1990).

Reception study benefited by cutting-edge ideas which emphasize that each media text is layered or polysemic. Since each text is polysemic, whether it's a soap opera, a video of Madonna, or narrative reports, then it will have so many messages that can be abstracted. Reception study examines how people choose from the many possibilities of meaning buried in the text and makes itself available to be read by the reader.

Encoding-decoding model is concerned with the reception, although as models tend to try to keep a balance in each stage in the processing of this media culture. Meaning can not necessarily be read directly from the characteristics of the text, but the text is still considered important. Author or text-producing is not the sole determinant of the rise of something meaning through the text interaction with readers, however,  the creative process of the production is still important. Neither the text nor the producer of the text provides the meanings and readings in a specific way.

In the view of the reception, Madonna as the creator of her text triggers the discursive process. Text is manifested in songs, music videos, concerts, movies, books, and appearances on television has encouraged the creation of a separate discourse. Reproach against her attitude and readers displeasure then interact with Madonna's text, thus giving birth to a meaning of its own. This final stage is reception studies.

News Headlines (509) 16 June - 22 June 2014




ONLINE TODAY

16 June 2014 : Today requires careful planning on your part -- and fortunately, your thinking is deliberate. It's a great time to absorb all the variables and come up with something bold and unexpected. For as long as you can remember, the word 'no' has had a strange, but not entirely negative, effect on you. When spoken in a certain tone of voice, it elicits an irresistible impulse to rush right out and do whatever it is you've just been warned against doing. Try to warn any innocent bystanders against using that word in that particular tone now. It may not work, but it will make reconciling with your conscience tomorrow a lot easier.



17 June 2014 : You reach a new level of achievement today -- one that is hardly surprising, but still quite welcome. You should be able to leverage it into something bigger and even better, so move forward. You're usually game for a conversation with a stranger, and today brings plenty of opportunities. You see every encounter as holding the potential of leading to a new friend or -- secretly, even better -- a worthy opponent. You're in the mood to mingle right about now, and you're feeling especially conversational. Warn your best friend or romantic partner not to take it personally if you end up involved in an intense talk with someone you meet on the street.

18 June 2014 : You're not at the top of your game -- especially if you're focused on stuff that is personal. If you direct that energy toward others, you are much more likely to have a positive impact. You know that you really want to change, but are you sure about it, or thinking it because you're bored or wanting to impress someone? Examine your motives more closely. You know things aren't working as they should yet, but you may feel confused about how to change. Think about what you get out of this situation, then explore what you want that's more than this. A mental shift is all you need to get rolling.

19 June 2014 : Don't dismiss today's major issue -- even if it seems kind of silly at first glance. You need to take it seriously if you want to keep it from growing out of control. It should be manageable now. Some wild news comes your way, but luckily, just about all of it is positive for you. The word should arrive via some higher-up you were positive had never even noticed you, much less thought you were worth thinking about. Once you're past the amazement and you've discovered that you weren't being ignored, you need to make a big decision. A wonderful bolt from the blue should make that a lot easier!

20 June 2014 :  You feel like making a real difference today -- and it's easy to see why! Your energy is peaking in every part of your life, and you should be able to pursue nearly any ambition that you like.Energy, vivacity and directness are three traits people usually count on seeing in you. They're all pretty obvious to those you meet today, whether they've seen it all before or have never seen your face, so don't be shy about letting those fine qualities show -- they're a few of the reasons folks love you like they do! Your legendary bravery doesn't hurt a bit, either.

21 June 2014 : You're all about action today! Your amazing energy is ready for nearly anything, so keep your eyes open and jump into whatever comes your way. Things should keep you busy and happy. Divide your time between deciding what you want to be when you grow up and who you want to be right now with your sweetie. It's never easy, but it's extra-hard for the time being. You have all the energy you need to handle it all, but you still have to dig down to find the answers, which might not come easily. You've still got to give it a shot. While you're at it, take extra care of your heath.

22 June 2014 : Your diplomatic skills are making life great for everyone today -- so open up and let people see your charming side! It's a great time for negotiations of any kind, from business to romance. You've held off on making that business deal because it was the only strategy that made any sense. You can put that waiting to an end now, though -- and cut loose any age-old grudge you were carting around, too. Your hard work will begin to pay off now. And while you generally dwell in the electric excitement of the current moment, you recently managed to give the future some thought -- that will turn out to be very much to your advantage as well. Keep your values firmly in mind as you proceed. Be aggressive, but deploy some of your trademark charm, too -- and look out, world, here you come!

LETTERS FROM IRAQ
The rumors ring and street conspiracy


After the fall of military command in Mosul and Daish's success in mastering the entire province of Nineveh, the governor who is also the brother of Parliament chairman directly blames Maliki. He gives the impression as if Maliki as a 'weak leader'. Since then, the composition of Maliki's coalition such as wind noise.



Victory trend of shaft resistance in Syria creates turmoil in the enemy: Takfiris The Islamic State of Iraq and Al-Sham (ISIS) and its sponsor countries. It's no secret that Saudi Arabia, Jordan and Turkey are behind the armed groups increasingly look like mercenaries and cloaked robbers. Well, lately, the countries that serve as croupier to ISIS terrorism in Syria is like finding the right diversion. Maybe some sort of compensation.

Iraq entered here. I do not know how it exactly, but suddenly ISIS -- rebel gang affiliated with al-Qaeda in the Middle East, often referred to by Daish -- like find back their power. They attacked and occupied several cities in Iraq. Samarra city including the cities they had occupied in about a week ago. But there, once they annihilated by  Iraqi military, Daish can only bite the fingers. But such has not been cured, they shifted their attacks lately - and succeeded - to the region bordering with Syria, Mosul, the capital of Nineveh province.

Daish success in seizing Mosul and practically mastered Nineveh Province so quickly actually raises a number of questions: How strong is it? Is it true that the Iraqi army is weak? Or is there another conspiracy behind the Daish pace -- which in Syria battlefield almost only good in showing acts of cruelty - including splitting the chest, eating the heart and cut off the Syrian soldiers -- rather than brilliant results in the strategy and tactics of warfare?

Daish failures in mastering or stabilizing power in the territory under their control, both in Syria and Iraq, actually raises a lot of doubts on many observers about Daish reality. Is it just a specter? Paper tiger that is used for a political fight in Iraq and the region? The rumors on the streets of Iraq strengthen the conspiracy narrative  behind the appearance, greatness, success and Daish victories lately. Here's the story:

It is true that Daish under Abu Bakr al-Baghdadi -- a mysterious figure with the title Commander of the Faithful -- has a dream to realize the Islamic caliphate that extends throughout the Arabian Peninsula: from Yemen to Iraq and culminate in Sham. And it is also true that the Commander of the Faithful has designed the region as a big stage henceforth to rule the world. But many people also know that Daish and its commander is not a real dream. This dream actually is a nightmare that can be used at any moment to scare a lot of people, including a number of the political elite in Iraq.

In the beginning was the Iraqi election results that gave rise Nouri Maliki's party as winner. But because his victory was not quite a landslide, then he had to build a coalition. At the moment Maliki wanted to give the finishing touches to his coalition, Daish came to mess things up in Samarra.

But it seems the enemies of Maliki are not satisfied, particularly Usama al-Nujayfi who is also the Chairman of Iraqi Parliament. At that moment, his brother, Atheel al-Nujaifi -- who is also the governor of Nineveh -- threw the trump card. He spread rumors which then led to a loss for the Iraqi military to face Daish and was forced to leave the battlefield shamefully.



There are versions of the rumors in Baghdad streets. This version states that Maliki was the one who actually asked the military to leave Mosul. The goal: he wanted to achieve two victories at once; hit the credibility of political enemies while taking the greater power through a military emergency announcements. And indeed, since the fall of Mosul, Maliki continues to blame the betrayal of the people inside and demanding the announcement of martial law. Which is true of street talks only God knows. Perhaps, all of it is wrong. But what is clear is the situation on the ground. For people who are on the field, approximately 400 km from the battle location in Mosul is not as sordid as imagined.

Harriet, a Masai giraffe, tends to her 4-day-old calf at the San Diego Zoo. The male was born on June 16, standing 6 feet, 2 inches tall and weighing 146 pounds. This is Harriet's second calf. Giraffe populations have decreased from about 140,000 in the late 1990s to less than 80,000 because of habitat loss and competition with livestock for resources.

What the heck is great with the creature has given birth to a baby? Nothing. What is special is about the availability of time and desire. I have to take care of my son. His growth and development requires a lot of my handling. I will not have much time to continue the next post, maybe just occasionally I search for my favorite things over the internet.

I also am having mild anorexia. Mmmm... Light switch in our laundry room was also broken, needs to be fixed.

(Some kind of a female mammal being hit by her maternal instinct and wants her pregnant for the second time: that's me!)

I also need to replace the lenses of my glasses. I want to go to Russia and meet Putin. Then I will go to France for kissing Alain Soral. Night after night I always dream to make love with him. It must be resolved by one thing: mmm .... guess what!

But believe me, there is not anything great events of the world until, at least, the end of this year. There is no great war, just the classic conflicts, very conventional and somewhat tedious.

Dag! ... See you again, for an indeterminate time.

I know you never liked like my writings.

"Thank you for your perception! I like your romantic side, even if I do not always comment and I'm glad that you're in my circle of friends."
(Courtesies by: Wolfgang A. Gerhardt)

Wolfgang A.Gerhardt : May be you like this Sunday collage

Cisca Zarmansyah : Before today, there never was a person doing this to me. You create a simple matter to look special. This is a special thing for me.

Cisca Zarmansyah : Thank you. I love it. I love you, my friend.

CieL- FreYa Ceastle : Hmm, he's so nice...















"I am me.
In all the world,
there is no one else exactly like me.
Everything that comes out of me
is authentically mine,
because I alone chose it --
I own everything about me:
my body,
my feelings,
my mouth,
my voice,
all my actions,
whether they be to others or myself.
I own my fantasies,
my dreams,
my hopes,
my fears.
I own my triumphs and successes,
all my failures and mistakes.
Because I own all of me,
I can become intimately acquainted with me.
By so doing,
I can love me
and be friendly with all my parts.
I know there are aspects about myself that puzzle me,
and other aspects that I do not know
-- but as long as I am friendly
and loving to myself,
I can courageously and hopefully
look for solutions
to the puzzles and ways
to find out more about me.
However I look and sound,
whatever I say and do,
and whatever I think and feel at a given moment in time
is authentically me.
If later some parts of how I looked,
sounded,
thought,
and felt
turn out to be unfitting,
I can discard that which is unfitting,
keep the rest,
and invent something new
for that which I discarded.
I can see,
hear,
feel,
think,
say, and do.
I have the tools to survive,
to be close to others,
to be productive,
and to make sense
and order out of the world of people
and things outside of me.
I own me,
and therefore,
I can engineer me.
I am me,
and I am okay."

VIRGINIA SATIR
(American Phychologist and Educator, 1916-1988)
