Do not stand at my grave and weep Do Not Stand at My Grave and Weep is a poem written in 1932 by Mary Elizabeth Frye. Although the origin of the poem was disputed until later in her life, Mary Frye's authorship was confirmed in 1998 after research by Abigail Van Buren, a newspaper columnist.[1] Full text[edit] Do not stand at my grave and weep, I am not there; I do not sleep. I am a thousand winds that blow, I am the diamond glints on the snow, I am the sunlight on ripened grain, I am the gentle autumn rain. When you awaken in the morning’s hush I am the swift uplifting rush Of quiet birds in circled flight. I am the soft stars that shine at night.

Mary Frye circulated the poem privately, never publishing or copyrighting it.

Cozy-Mystery.Com 47 Mind-Blowing Psychology-Proven Facts You Should Know About Yourself I’ve decided to start a series called 100 Things You Should Know about People.

Or maybe just 100 things that everyone should know about humans! The order that I’ll present these 100 things is going to be pretty random. So the fact that this first one is first doesn’t mean that’s it’s the most important.. just that it came to mind first. Dr. <div class="slide-intro-bottom"><a href="

8 Things to Stop Doing Right Now The main purpose of this site is to help you be who you want to be and live the life you want to live. I think everyone deserves that at the bare minimum, and I believe that everyone can achieve it. Therefore, a lot of the messages that I share here are positive, inspiring and action orientated. With this post I want to change direction, and not cover the things you should be doing, but the things you shouldn't be doing. I'm not even going to be half-hearted about it and say you should 'probably' stop doing these things or 'you can if you want'. No; you really should stop, right now. Photo Credit I truly believe that successful implementation, or actually 'de-implementation' of these methods will dramatically improve a number of things. What I mean by improving your awareness is that you actually might 'wake up' to some of the things you've been doing, and understand exactly why I say you need to stop doing these things immediately. 1. 2. “Why do some people have all the luck?” 3. 4. 5. 6.

Inspiring Movies » Life-Changing Arts Before you look at the selected movies, please understand that this is by no means 'the ultimate list of inspiring movies'. Creating such a list is impossible. What inspires one person, might leave another stone cold, what is life-changing to one, might be no more than amusing to someone else. The below selection of movies is meant to grow and expand with time, while aknowledging exceptional movies at all times - at least those we thought or felt were exceptional, either because of their profound message, the "think differently" factor, or perhaps just as an illustration of an exceptional approach to life. Click on any movie to find out more about it and see movie clips, where available. If you think there is a movie that should be added, by all means, let us know which, and why. Get inspired.. inspire others! Back to Life-Changing Arts

How-To: Easily Remove the Vocals from Most Songs | r3dux.org 2015 Shortcut: When I wrote this article Audacity didn’t have an automatic center-panned vocal canceling effect… but now it does, so rather than do the stereo-separate / invert-one-track / play-both-as-mono trick (and that’s pretty much all there is to it), you should be able to find the Vocal Remover option in the Effects menu – but it’s more fun / interesting and can give better results if you do it yourself! =D I found this trick the other day whilst stumbling the Interwebs and thought I’d do a quick-write up w/ pictures to make it as easy as possible… For this exercise we’re going to be using a piece of free audio software called Audacity, which you can get for Linux, Windows and Mac. Update: If you’re trying this out on a Mac, please make sure you get Audacity 1.3 Beta or newer – the stable 1.2 version appears to have a missing equaliser decibal-range slider which you need towards the end of the process! 1.) 2.) 3.) With that done, give it a play and see what happens! 4.) 5.) Wrap Up
