A New Green Stem Media Release from Renee Moore:
The Whiteboard EffectErase Your Past and Re-write a Brilliant Future
The Whiteboard Effect offers insights into how we can cultivate more self-awareness and apply mindful acceptance practices to develop a healthier relationship with ourselves; and how we can leverage relationships with family, friends, and team members as a source of strength rather than weakness. It provides the means for unlocking the capacity for personal development using simple yet effective strategies.
These insights are independent of any outer circumstance or personal characteristics; they do not adhere to specific religious or philosophical teaching. The Whiteboard Effect stands out for its simplicity, effectiveness, and rapidly evident results. The ease of this approach practically disguises the benefit of the procedure. Simply stated, it frees us from the emotional attachments that primarily cause our suffering and hold us back. |
Latter-day Grooks - Vol. 3
From the Words and Wisdom of Dieter F. UchtdorfGrooks were initially created by the Danish poet Piet Hein (1905–1996), who wrote over 7000 of them in both the Danish and English languages. A grook (‘gruk’ in Danish) is a short aphoristic poem or rhyming aphorism. Literary experts suggest that the term ‘gruk’ is a compilation of the Danish words’ GRin and sUK,’ meaning to laugh and sigh, but Piet Hein said he felt that the term came to him out of thin air.
Aphoristic collections, known as wisdom literature, are prominent in Western civilization. They have had a profound impact on the canons of ancient societies, such as the works of the sutra literature of Hinduism and Buddhism, the Biblical Ecclesiastes, Islamic hadiths, the golden verses of Pythagoras, Hesiod’s Works and Days, the Delphic maxims, and Epictetus’ Handbook. Hein's grooks were meant to be a spirit-building, coded form of passive resistance. The grooks are multi-faceted and characterized by irony, paradox, brevity, precise use of language, rhythm, and rhyme. They were often satiric. In this volume of Latter-day Grooks, the author Bill Wylson has attempted to cite the words and teachings of Elder Dieter F. Uchtdorf, an apostle of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints, and to express his ideas in the form of latter-day grooks. |

What Are Grooks?Grooks were originally created by the Danish poet Piet Hein, (1905–1996) who wrote over 7000 of them in both the Danish and English languages. A grook (‘gruk’ in Danish) is a form of short aphoristic poem or rhyming aphorism. An aphorism is a concise, terse, laconic, or memorable expression of a general truth or principle.
Some say that the name "gruk" is short for "grin & suk" (literally, 'laugh & sigh'), but Piet Hein said he felt that the word had come out of thin air. |
Who Is Piet Hein?Piet Hein was confronted with a dilemma when the Germans first occupied Denmark. He felt he had three choices; do nothing, flee to neutral Sweden, or join the Danish resistance movement. So, he joined the Resistance.
Hein’s greatest weapon was his pen. His grooks were meant to be a spirit-building, coded form of passive resistance. The grooks are multi-faceted and characterized by irony, paradox, brevity, precise use of language, rhythm, and rhyme. They were often satiric in nature. |
What Are Latter-day Grooks?Award-winning poet, Bill Wylson, believes “the Latter-day Saints are in a resistance movement of our own. We are fighting the forces of evil and resisting the temptations of Satan. It would be tragic if we lost our faith in a moment of crisis and threw away the blessings of eternity.” In this volume, the author has attempted to cite the words and teachings of President Russell M. Nelson, prophet and president of the Church of Jesus Christ of Latter-day Saints and to express his ideas in the form of latter-day grooks.

The Latest from Rich Nelson:
El Shaddai
|
"When we search and study the names that God reveals to us in the Bible, we will better understand who He really is."
|
To hallow a thing is to make it holy, to set it apart to be exalted and worthy of absolute devotion. To hallow the name of God is to regard Him with complete devotion and loving admiration. We should preserve His name in a position of solemn significance in our hearts and minds. We should rejoice in it and think deeply about its true meaning.
“May your glorious name be blessed; may it be lifted up above all blessing and praise.” |

A New Earth
The real question concerning climate change is: What can we do about it? A myriad of solutions exist, from the bizarre to the ridiculous. Suggestions like creating a giant umbrella to block the sun’s rays; creating plastic trees to absorb carbon dioxide; eating insects instead of meat; bio-engineering humans to be smaller; and NASA's suggestion to move the earth away from the sun. Through all of this we are missing the one solution that could actually make a difference.
