" I just come up on this idea last night ... and reflects ... "
Being in long distance relationship ... perhaps i can say that it is prone to Betrayal because you have no idea if your partner were still faithful and loyal in your relationship especially when you're not committed to each other. In some ways i think it is still depends on the couples on how they will keep their relationships alive and stronger inspite of miles apart between them. This will just test them on how patient and faithful they are to each other inspite of their situations. But for me waiting is really the hardest part ... it kills me !
Its really hard to wait for someone you're not assured if he will be back again. It's better to start a new one ... a new love ... than wait for nothing.
But worth the wait if he's the right one for you .... i'll just save the best for last!
I just want to be happy with the one i loved ... with the one who truly loves me.
To the one who can makes me complete. You know who you are... im just waiting (-;

BeliefNet
Beliefnet or Beliefnet.com is a large spiritual site on the internet that is owned by Fox Entertainment Group, a division of News Corporation. It provides information about various religious and spiritual beliefs, ranging from Christian denominations to atheism to smaller faiths like Zoroastrianism. It interviews religious figures, offers articles and blogs on various creeds. It collaborates with Newsweek on a column. It has a study guide for the Bible. Beliefnet is a large multi-faith e-community. It aims to provide a free forum for religious information and inspiration, spiritual tools, and discussions and dialogue groups.
History
The site, launched on 28 December 1999, initially included side businesses such as an online store and building Web sites for houses of worship. These endeavors were abandoned in 2001. In April 2002 the company declared Chapter 11 bankruptcy, emerging in October 2002. The company has since stabilized financially. According to an August 25, 2005, Blue Chip news release quoting Beliefnet co-founder and chief executive Steven Waldman, "The site's traffic patterns more or less mirror the U.S. population as a whole," with roughly 70% of the site's traffic related to Christian interests. About 70% of the site's visitors are women, and they tend to be in the age range of 35 to 45 years old. The advertising-supported company has recently begun sponsoring a series called "Beliefnet Guides to...," including books on Evangelical Christianity and Kabbalah.
On December 4, 2007, Beliefnet announced it had been acquired by the Fox Entertainment Group for an undisclosed amount of money.
Site contents
Beliefnet offers eCards, discussions, quizzes, meditations, prayers, and "Soulmatch." Discussions are oriented toward specific groups of people, such as couples and teens, topics ranging from abortion to sexism, and dozens of religious faiths. Specific discussion "boards" exist to ask questions about religions and engage in interfaith dialogue as well as debate and criticism. Boards are hosted by volunteers and supervised by Beliefnet producers.

Dating Diaries: Ten Dating Red Flags
by Rich Santos, Marie Claire, on Fri Sep 12, 2008 8:07am PDT
Read More from This Author »
When determining if you should let things get serious, remember: actions speak louder than words. With that being said, here are ten dating red flags. If you see any of these, do yourself a favor and reconsider if it's worth it for you.
1. You are not on the VIP list for breaking news
Were you the last to learn about this person's job promotion or newborn niece or nephew? Once things are serious, you should be among the first to know about exciting news, or bad news.
2. They avoid meeting your family or friends
If they are shying away from meeting your friends/family consistently, then there are problems. Even if they are very shy, they should want to meet those who are important to you.
3. They don't make any sacrifices
Healthy relationships don't require bending over backwards all the time, but a certain amount of sacrifice is necessary in a selfless union. When two of my friends first started dating one another, she demanded that he go to Farm Aid for her birthday, which was also the opening NFL football Sunday. While all the guys gathered to watch the games, he was sweltering on some field attending Farm Aid -- an event he never would have gone to if she hadn't have invited him. Now that's sacrifice.
4. They can't fit in your future
I admit it. When I meet girls, I envision future moments I may some day share with them. Most of my scenarios are her with me and my family at a Thanksgiving holiday or at a summer crabfeast. If I'm really into her, I usually relish the thought. If not, I kinda cringe.
5. They are too controlling
It's scary but I've seen many relationships where guys forbid girls to hang out with certain friends, or wear certain clothes. Major problem if someone is controlling you and not allowing you to be who you want to be within a relationship.
6. The "what are we" conversation fails miserably
Almost every relationship hits that crossroads where you both decide if it's worth taking the plunge into being exclusive and calling each other boyfriend/girlfriend. If they are confused and surprised that you're ready to get serious, the timing is not right, and you should try to figure out how long you want to wait around until they are ready.
7. They talk about plans that don't involve you
My sister has major wanderlust. She's always talking about heading off to Chicago or living in London for a year. She often talks about these things with no regard for the fact that she has a boyfriend at the time. If you find that someone is making plans or talking about far off places without inviting you along for the ride, don't let yourself get too into this person.
8. Your friends or family don't like them
Remember that your friends and family know you best. Don't take their thoughts with a grain of salt. It's one thing if a person or two don't get along with your significant other, but if a lot of them are saying you should reconsider, then do it. Unfortunately, we often find out about how much our friends hated that person after this person is gone.
9. They violated your trust
Whether it's cheating or a little lie that they got caught in, it will be hard to regain trust. Trust is something we don't give away easily, and once it's gone it's hard to get it back. We'll always be wondering about that lie, and doubt will creep in more and more as our minds fixate on that lie. Too often, people take trust for granted and once they lose it they never get it back.
10. You practice "unbalanced dating"
Are you always seeing his friends or doing things that he wants to do? Do you just let him pick the restaurants and events? Or is it the other way around? Relationships are fun when you are both able to contribute. If you're not taking turns creating fun times together, it will most likely fizzle out.

8 Ways to Restore Balance in Life
How We Restore Balance in LifeWhile we're busy caring for others, let's not forget to be kind to ourselves.
Most of us give generously of our time and energy to family members, friends, and co-workers--and often ignore our own needs. It may not be until we become physically or mentally exhausted, or financially depleted, that we wake up and pay attention to our own needs. At that point we remember the wisdom of the flight attendant: Put on your oxygen mask first, and then you'll be able to help others.Beliefnet members share the experiences that made them realize they had to start taking care of themselves--and what they're doing about it.
Lighten Your LoadBefore you can take care of anyone else, you need to be able to care for yourself. Many women are juggling and are really good at it, but it is not for you or yourself. My own personal truth is that I am a part of God and he does not want me to feel burdened. He also wants my load light enough to add a little as I shed what's been taken care of.I do take time to treat myself to God's gifts of life, my animals, my grandchildren and a root beer float or some other form of reward for managing to survive another day. I know that women are caretakers by nature, so start nurturing the one who matters to the rest of us and that is you!--reverendsandie1
Embrace Forgiveness
I embraced forgiveness and since then I have forgiven not only my ex, but also myself, as well as all the persons whom I considered to have caused me pain in one way or another. Forgiving means healing, I realized.Now, I am just trying to enjoy every single moment of my life. I may still be a work in progress, but by God's grace I know I'll come out a much better person. When I'm having "sad" episodes, I just listen to my favorite music or read inspirational blogs from Beliefnet.com or self-help books. Or I get an early morning shower and head to a nearby park for a walk. Reading a newspaper while sipping freshly brewed coffee is such therapy.--Happily_single
Stop SmokingI am 36 days clean of smoking! I have found that when I get stressed out, the best thing to do is some type of physical labor, let it be clean the house or fold laundry or plant flowers/garden/whatever. That tends to get my aggravations out and to make the urge to smoke pass quicker. Taking a walk or even a shower helps as well. Drinking a cup of hot tea is another good thing to do (it helps relax you, especially chamomile tea). But I have also found in my times of relaxing (such as watching TV or whatever), I need to keep my hands busy, so I have taken up knitting. Either that or journaling [is helpful].--Evelyneek9
Be Grateful
A few years ago I came down with pneumonia for no apparent reason. It was a beautiful spring day and I had been in good health. I felt betrayed by my body. One day, after I recovered, I was complaining about my illness to a friend. "How can I ever trust my body again?" I protested. My friend gave me some very wise advice. "The pneumonia was a relatively benign warning that you had been under too much stress. You should be grateful to your body for alerting you to that. You may have avoided a heart attack." I think my friend was right, and it helps me care for myself in ways that I never would have considered. I try to never consider myself a victim anymore; only someone who has been warned and needs to change his behavior.I do my own kind of gratitude meditation every night. I sit quietly and feel grateful for all the blessings I've received. Together, avoiding the negative energy of feeling a victim and generating the positive force of gratitude provide me with the strength to take care of myself and others for whom I have responsibility.--ken64
Care for your Health
Tomorrow I'm going for my yearly mammogram. I've also "cut my portions," made sure I'm drinking more water, trying my best to get 8 hrs.+ sleep at night. I'm also taking "me time"--that's having my nails/hair done once a month. I'm also making sure that things are in order in my house, bill wise. And I'm remembering to thank my maker each day for letting me live the life I'm living. My husband and I celebrated our 30th anniversary in February, we're healthy, happy and we love each other!--MarleneEmmett5
Take A Walk
I try to walk 3-4 times 45 minutes a week. I do it slowly and I pray. I notice when I walk I feel better mentally and physically. I admire God's trees, the flowers, the sky. I realize I need to lose weight, but I don't want the negative self-talk. I want to hear the "I can do this" mentality. I also don't want my happiness to be contingent on a scale, but on what I did to make the world and myself better inside and out.--sabrinaswinter
Eat Mindfully
I have found that the key component to adhering to a proper eating plan and getting in exercise is: planning. I know, not very exciting. But it works! If I have meals planned ahead, then I am less likely to mindlessly nosh. It also helps to have meals prepared ahead--to the extent possible. Also, regular meals tends to reduce the temptation to stray from eating plan. This takes some time to do, but if you are wanting to improve your overall health, it's worth the time to do this.--Irene Adler
Give Yourself A Break
I am used to rushing around, doing a million things for everybody. But recently I became exhausted, developed bronchitis, and literally could not get out of bed. I was forced to take time off from work, stop taking care of my elderly mother, and let my family fend for themselves.As I remained in bed sleeping most of the time for 5 days, I found that other people filled in for the things I couldn't do. My mother started doing more for herself and didn't complain as much. My husband and son got their own meals and did the chores, while bringing me soup and tea. Slowly I recovered, but I am more conscious of not doing everything myself and asking for help when I need it. It feels right to slow down and be gentle with myself.--neverland

Experience Project Leads Rapidly Growing Social Experience Category (Reuters News)
Experience Project brings Social Experience to the web by anonymously connecting like-minded people through shared experiences. SAN FRANCISCO--(Business Wire)-- Today Experience Project, the first Social Experience Website, outlined its successful strategy of bringing experience sharing online. With over one million life experiences shared, Experience Project (EP) leads the next generation of the social web. By allowing members to anonymously share and connect with like-minded people in an authentic and emotionally powerful way, EP enables a fundamentally deeper and more meaningful engagement model. In the Experience Project community, who you are is more important than who you know.
Experience Project (EP) provides community members with real stories from everyday people about the topics that matter most to them-- from marital dilemmas to having pets or health problems and raising children. Members sign up under pseudonyms, and contributetheir life 'experiences'--the thoughts, feelings, ideas, issues, hopes, and events that are most important in their lives--unencumbered by worries of revealing their true identity. In this way, EP is the first of a new generation of websites that allow users to both create
and consume compelling, authentic content spanning the full spectrum of a person's life. In contrast to traditional social networking sites, EP members engage through the experiences, ideas, and issues important in their lives, rather than through popularity or appearance, ultimately building new friendships rather than
reinforcing pre-existing ones. The site is a hybrid of a "webzine" with user-generated content and an affinity group where people of like minds, experiences, and concerns can find others to connect with.
"Since we entered our public beta in early 2007, Experience Project has grown into a pervasive platform connecting everyday people in a fun and profound way," notes Armen Berjikly, CEO and founder of Experience Project. "The site becomes a part of our members' lives, and they often comment on how, despite remaining anonymous, their profiles on EP are the most real representation of themselves, anywhere."
EP embodies the social and technological evolution around online social connectivity, standing at the nexus of the most important trends shaping the Web: blogs, user-generated content, social networks, and new media. The EP community is composed of unique individuals who can act as readers, authors, editors, and friends all at the same time. Because they remain anonymous, users are free to express all of their passions including deeply personal experiences, in a comfortable place that respects their right to privacy. With consumer and individual privacy under increasing attack, anonymity unleashes the freedom to share all the things that truly matter, facilitating new and meaningful relationships between people who understand each other.
Representing a new engagement model that fosters classifiable affinities and passionate, authentic content, EP leads the evolution of internet marketing by providing a clear pathway to non-disruptive conversational marketing with precision focus. Through "Experience Marketing," EP offers cascading multiple lifestyle and experience attributes in selecting a focus audience--e.g., a young female Californian mother who is trying to quit smoking. This provides marketers with the ability to hyper-target precisely the people interested in their products while simultaneously balancing the customer's need for privacy and comfort via EP's built-in anonymity. In doing so, Experience Marketing is able to deliver on the great promise of online social marketing: To provide greater impact per dollar spent by marketers and to enable unprecedented one-to-one marketing opportunities.
EP was started by Armen Berjikly, a Stanford graduate in computer science. Inspired by a close friend's diagnosis with multiple sclerosis (MS), Berjikly created an online support community for those afflicted by the condition. As the site blossomed, the most powerful tool turned out to be the anonymous chat forum, giving people, often suffering in misunderstood silence, the opportunity to be open among friends who shared and understood their challenges. Recognizing that no one is defined by any one experience and that connecting with people who understand each other through a multitude of shared experiences can be incredibly powerful, Berjikly created Experience Project.
About Experience Project:
Experience Project is the first social experience website where you can anonymously share and connect around the life experiences that are important to you. Explore over one million life experiences, share your own stories anonymously, and find like-minded people who are open, supportive, and just "get it". Experience Project is the first place on the web where who you are is more important than who you know. Experience Project can be found at www.experienceproject.com .

Don't Quit !
When things go wrong as they sometimes will
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill
When funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must… but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twist and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit-
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.
When the road you’re trudging seems all up hill
When funds are low and the debts are high
And you want to smile, but you have to sigh
When care is pressing you down a bit,
Rest, if you must… but don’t you quit.
Life is queer with its twist and turns
As every one of us sometimes learns.
And many failure turns about,
When he might have won had he stuck it out.
Don’t give up though the pace seems slow
You may succeed with another blow.
Success is failure turned inside out -
The silver tint of the clouds of doubt
And you never can tell how close you are,
It may be near when it seems so far
So stick to the fight when you’re hardest hit-
It’s when things seem worst that you must not quit.

10 Ways to Bring Your Whole Self to Work
Not satisfied with your job? Ever fantasize about chucking it all for a spiritual life? Not so fast. Many gurus and sages say we have to learn to find the spiritual in our lives exactly as they are--not just in a serene retreat center in a remote locale. Even Gandhi said finding satisfaction in work is our best hope for happiness in life. Tevis Gale, a leading work/life satisfaction advocate and founder of Balance Integration Corporation, gives her thoughts on how to bridge the gap between work and life.
by Elvis Gale As told to Alana B. Elias Kornfeld
1. Work for Something Meaningful
To make work more fulfilling, begin by asking yourself what you'd like to work for. Do you want to work for an idea? Do you want to work for money? Do you want to work for power? Name and claim whatever feels intrinsically meaningful to you. Know that unless you recognize in your work something that holds power, passion, and intrigue for you, you won't be able to perform well over time. Meaning is the necessary transformative ingredient.
2. Find Your Passion
What keeps you up at night? What recurring questions do you ask about yourself, life, and the world? It's that burning curiosity that you always end up asking yourself about that's the key to finding your passion.
3. Express YourselfMystics in any culture say work is a form of self-expression. Work is part of who you are; so why is it that human beings feel such antagonism toward getting up every day and performing a function? Bring your full self to work today and every day. Add elements of self-expression by practicing voicing your ideas, asking questions, suggesting possibilities, and being present to the events every moment. This is how you begin to live while you work.
4. Don't Judge Yourself
Be mindful that office environments are loaded with triggers for competitive and self-critical thinking. Negativity is a downward spiral laying to waste any possibility of productivity, contribution, or collaboration. Catch yourself harboring negative thoughts about yourself or others and replace those negatives by repeating the word "acceptance." That's right--repeat it purposefully about yourself, others, and any situation.
5. Say 'No' to Victim Thinking
Do you think like a master or a powerless victim? Do you look at the events of your day and think all is lousy in the world or do you view them as a call to evolve and cultivate skillful responses? If you foster a sense of self-mastery at work, everyone wins. The employee wins because she no longer carries around a false assumption of being a victim by going to work every day. She gets a greater sense of engagement, a greater sense of confidence and contribution. The employer wins because she no longer has to contend with many of the ramifications of "victim thinking" and entitlement mentality.
6. Recognize Your Human Need to WorkI like pointing to this adage: "Europeans work to live and Americans live to work." Well, in both of those suppositions, work is oppositional to life. Just like a lion has to be a lion to be a lion, and just like a tree has to be a tree to be a tree, we, as human beings, have to work to function. Look at someone who gets fired, what happens to them? They begin to ask themselves, "Why do I exist? Why am I here? What does this mean? What should I do?" Work provides a sense of order and allows us to relate to others and ourselves in ways that simply cannot happen otherwise. Let yourself see work as part of life.
7. Inject Mindfulness into Every Day Sure, you can go to a silent retreat for eight days and meditate with the best guru on the planet and experience great peace and self-awareness. And why not? We all need the rejuvenating power of a nice break. But this is not our everyday reality. Ever leave church or yoga class only to feel angry about traffic, poor service, or cross words with another? The true teachers in our lives are not the gurus--our teachers are the events that throw us off center and circumvent our mindful journey. The next time you find yourself thrown by an event at work, ask yourself, "How is this my teacher? What would be the enlightened or transformative way of viewing this?"
8. Take Teeny-Tiny Steps Toward Your Big Goal
Decide what you'd like in your life and how you can break those goals into little, teeny-tiny steps that you can move forward with every single day. Maybe you haven't run a marathon, but you're moving forward with your goal to be more fit by getting off the bus two stops early and walking the rest of the way to work. You must express some mastery of your choices every single day. Think through your top goals in every area of your life and put action behind what you most want for yourself. In doing so you are practicing mastery of your life, moving in the direction you want AND getting the added confidence boost of feeling your power to do both!
9. Do Your Inner Work
You can build a great résumé, study at the best university, have references to die for, but until you foster the inner skills of self-mastery in the midst of everyday chaos, you will not be right for any job. Cultivate enjoyment and greatness at work by remembering your true work is the evolution of yourself. Your state of peace, wisdom, and navigation of uncertainty are your true work, no matter the task at hand or title on your business card.

Your state of peace, wisdom, and navigation of uncertainty are your true work, no matter the task at hand or title on your business card.
10. Adopt a New AttitudeWork is spiritual. What isn't spiritual, really? But we're looking at business, which is normally looked at as a stripped down version of life, and unfortunately it's like, "One! Two! Three! Get it all done! Rush! Stress! Grab coffee on your way to work!" These robotic patterns can be mind-numbing. But if work is spiritual, these moments are the ritual to the practice. Try viewing the moments of your day with ritual awareness, reminding yourself even in Starbucks or the conference room: "Wow, this is another moment in my life that gets to be an expression of who I am." Since we work an average of 9.1 hours per day, you will reclaim half of your life when you see these moments as part of you.
11. Bonus: Practice a Pre-Board Room Meditation
It's easy to leave your spiritual practice at home and slog through the days at your job. But I believe work is spiritual. So whether you're about to make a presentation or you're running late for a meeting--use this meditation to restore balance when those inevitable stressors arise at work.
