OK -- I'll admit right off the top here -- unlike some of my more serious postings of the past, this one is a bit self-serving... but maybe it can be mutually serving too?

The observation: Compliments can be given even when we're feeling "out of love" with others.. and maybe, just maybe, the giving and receiving of these can lead to healing processes. Seriously.. it seems an "unconditional compliment" is more an observation of state, rather than being emotionally attached.. could be a good technique to help when we forget about our lifelong commitment to love another.

The self-serving: I need 1000 people to vote for my video called "28 Narvelous Compliments!" at videocontest.ecompliments.com/index.php .

It's for a silly video contest at a Website who's purpose (I think) is to ask folks to post what they like about other businesses (kind of like a positive version of the better business bureau).

Voting is free and it just takes 2 minutes to register and vote.. who knows, it (or another one on that site) might just make you smile, and spark up that gunked-up shakra?

Thanx in advance for any support.. and appologies in advance if this posting seems too unfocused for this forum!

with love,
:-) Rob
