Carolyn Rose Keefer Entrepreneur of Embraces.org
Welcome to Embraces.org.
This website is written for women,
by a woman.
Sometimes this world is overwhelming. Our surroundings can
look hopeless,
cruel and lonely. We may perceive that the world does not
care whether we live or die.
Embraces.org is a safe haven. We love you for who you
are and God does too.
We want you to be the best you can be, with what you have.
It is our philosophy that
we as women can do anything we set our minds to.
Sure, another positive mental attitude message.
We find the truth is: Before you can do anything... you have to make
one BIG thing first. That one BIG thing is "A DECISION" .
Before you can stop smoking, overeating, drinking, drugs, or any dependency.
You first must make a decision in that part of your body between your ears.
Once you make your decision and stay committed, you can overcome anything in life.
This is an interaction website. We have lots of room to expand and include
your input. So don't feel shy. Send us emails. Who knows you may be part of this site, in the very near future.
Let us acknowledge these promises
If we are painstaking about our development, we will be amazed before
we are halfway through:
We are going to know a new freedom and a new happiness.
We will not regret the past nor wish to shut the door on it.
We will comprehend the word "serenity" and we will know peace.
No matter how far up the scale we have gone, we will see how our experience
can benefit others.
The feeling of uselessness and self-pity will disappear.
We will lose interest in selfish things and gain interest in our
fellow human beings.
Self-seeking will slip away.
Our whole attitude and outlook upon life will change.
Fear of people and of economic insecurity will leave us
We will intuitively know how to handle situations which
used to baffle us.
We will suddenly realize that God is doing for us what
we could not do for ourselves.
Are these extravagant promises? We think not.
They are being fulfilled among us...sometimes quickly,
sometimes slowly. They will always materialize if we
work for them. Make that "Big Decision" today!
The Blind Men and the Elephant
From John Godfrey Saxe, "Poems" (Boston, 1852).]
It was six men of Indostan
To learning much inclined,
Who went to see the Elephant
(Though all of them were blind),
That each by observation
Might satisfy his mind.
The First approached the Elephant,
And happening to fall
Against his broad and sturdy side,
At once began to bawl:
"God bless me! but the Elephant
Is very like a wall!"
The Second, feeling of the tusk,
Cried, "Ho! what have we here
So very round and smooth and sharp?
To me 'tis mighty clear
This wonder of an Elephant
Is very like a spear!
The Third approached the animal,
And happening to take
The squirming trunk within his hands,
Thus boldly up and spake:
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a snake!"
The Fourth reached out his eager hand,
And felt about the knee.
"What most this wondrous beast is like
Is mighty plain," quoth he;
"Tis clear enough the Elephant
Is very like a tree!"
The Fifth, who chanced to touch the ear
Said, "E'en the blindest man
Can tell what this resembles most;
Deny the fact who can,
This marvel of an Elephant
Is very like a fan!
The sixth no sooner had begun
About the beast to grope,
Than, seizing on the swinging tail
That fell within his scope,
"I see," quoth he, "the Elephant
Is very like a rope!"
And so these men of Indostan
Disputed loud and long,
Each in his own opinion
Exceeding stiff and strong.
Though each was partly in the right,
And all were in the wrong.
