However, there are a number of reasons why you may like to change your Gmail address name, such as if you want a more enticing name or if you've launched a new company and want your name to show alongside it. Gmail, on the other hand, helps you to change your Gmail name without having to generate a new email address, which is a very simple procedure that many people take advantage of. However, if you are unfamiliar with the protocol for changing your name on your Gmail account, you can read this post. You may modify your Gmail show name in a very simple manner by following the steps as we have given. If you are either unable to change the name of your Gmail account or need assistance, you can contact Gmail's customer service staff via <a href="https://heysmil.medium.com/hoe-verander-je-de-gmail-accountnaam-e01b41be9ef9" rel="nofollow">Gmail Bellen Klantenservice</a>.<br />Angel charlshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05004327337415679833noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146781732108348146.post-45029037667055918162020-04-29T20:50:38.188-07:002020-04-29T20:50:38.188-07:00Do you like cats:-?Do you like cats:-?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07703428598739038877noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146781732108348146.post-4786130524900991072018-11-28T16:19:48.898-08:002018-11-28T16:19:48.898-08:00Thank you.

I am reassured and relieved to find others sharing some of my most significant values and notions, including even a sense of connection with the non-human world and an appreciation of one of my favorite contemporary poets, Mary Oliver. My needs for community, belonging, sharing, and celebration are met in this moment, allowing me to smile with pleasure. I have also begun learning about restorative circles, beginning in a recent NVC Training with Shantigabra and Jessica Danceingheart, and evolving as I see how restorative ideas and processes resonate with with my OD background, educational philosphy, and Shamanistic beliefs and practices.

For example: I feel lonely, so I form irresponsible liaisons. Or, I feel discouraged, so I drink to excess. Or, I feel angry, so I shoplift. If we can just feel the feeling, and acknowledge it, we often find that it passes on its own and leaves us in peace.Vollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514280952695776270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146781732108348146.post-24311577039456346982010-09-12T16:55:14.990-07:002010-09-12T16:55:14.990-07:00Perhaps it could be thought of more as an "ad...Perhaps it could be thought of more as an "adventure" or "quest" than a strategy? ...or have you tried that mindset already?Vollyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14514280952695776270noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146781732108348146.post-79108840494999935812010-01-09T16:45:23.328-08:002010-01-09T16:45:23.328-08:00Your writing and perspective remind me of Cary Ten...Your writing and perspective remind me of Cary Tennis in Salon.com.

Some disciplined people are very slow to anger, slow to express their anger once they have been provoked to anger, and even slower to act upon that anger. Other people get angry all the time over things that they really have little reason top get angry over. Amongst other things they are called "hot-heads". . . I definitely fit within the former category and when someone does something that justifies my anger and does little or nothing to correct the situation I deal with it but getting even in various ways. I recently wrote about my don't get angry get even policy on <A HREF="http://emersonavenger.blogspot.com/2009/03/dont-get-angry-get-even-philosophy-of.html" REL="nofollow">The Emerson Avenger blog</A>. <BR/><BR/>BTW LoraKim the UUA Board of Trustees completely ignored my most recent "electronic communications" calling for some genuine and tangible restorative justice for *all* victims of clergy misconduct. They did not even acknowledge receipt of it this time around, even though I am confident that they definitely received it. This is how the UUA stands on the side of love and engages in waging peace with people who have been mistreated by U*U clergy ion various ways. . . It looks like I have some more getting even to do. Today is as good a day as any, being the Ides of March and all, and being two months to the day since I sent <A HREF="http://emersonavenger.blogspot.com/2009/01/when-will-uua-president-bill-sinkford.html" REL="nofollow">these emails</A> to all UUA Board of Trustees members.Robin Edgarhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06208142626285495635noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-9146781732108348146.post-17595535418583603482009-01-18T20:16:00.000-08:002009-01-18T20:16:00.000-08:00Hi LoraKim,I only just saw this now. I have alread...Hi LoraKim,<BR/><BR/>I only just saw this now. I have already emailed that "less than diplomatic" demand for restorative justice for myself and all other victims of U*U clergy misconduct of all kinds to UUA President Bill Sinkford, UUA Moderator Gini Courter, all UUA Trustees, and a variety of UUA administrators around TEA time Thursday January 15th. I have posted what was emailed to President Sinkford to <A HREF="http://emersonavenger.blogspot.com/2009/01/when-will-uua-president-bill-sinkford.html" REL="nofollow">The Emerson Avenger blog here</A>. Needless to say I want to be heard. I also want to be responsibly listened to and have what President Bill Sinkford once rightly described as my "obviously deep concerns" responded to in a manner that actually lives up to the U*U principles, especially the first and second principles that call for respect for the inherent worth and dignity of every person, and justice, equity and compassion in human relations. To date the UUA has abjectly failed and even obstinately refused to live up to those principles in its rather inhuman human relations with me and other people who have been victimized by U*U clergy in one way or another. I was indeed looking for suggestions for somewhat more diplomatic language that might make that request/demand easier to hear and listen to by UUA leaders but I needed it by last Thursday at the latest. <BR/><BR/>I have not had the slightest response from anyone that the email was sent to. Not even a confirmation of receipt. This "jihad" has been going on for some time so it is entirely possible that people were instructed not to respond in any way to my "electronic communication". If you think that you can pass the same message along in a way that will be heard, *listened* to, and responsibly acted upon you would be doing the U*U World a world of good.
