Hotmail Hijacked Again

I opened my email this morning. Wow! 100 messages! I usually don't have that many unread messages... Oh, no! A bunch of undeliverables by Postmaster. About 25 of them. So I look at a few of them and discover that "g_constantas" sent everyone on my list a link to some unknown website. If you got one of these, I am very sorry. I did not send it. My husband got one and he was angry that I sent him a link to a site where he can buy Viagra. He didn't believe me when I said it wasn't me! It says right here, from Gloria Constantas!

But this has happened to me before and I have gotten other similar messages from people I know on hotmail. They only come from hotmail. So I tried to contact hotmail support. I can't send a question. I don't know if it is only my computer with that problem. Hotmail Q&A says that I must've given my password to some unauthorized site. I'm sure I didn't. But I really wish this didn't happen. I was just about to send out my newsletter. Right now I think there are several people who don't want to hear from me. Anyway, the spammer exceeded my limit, so I can't send any messages right now. I am just hoping that there are no more messages from the spammer hanging out in virtual space, that will be activated when the limit is resent tomorrow at 10:13am.

It's weird, they also deleted my "Sent" folder. I changed my password and security question a few times. They deleted all the sent messages from 2010 and 2011. I wonder why?

Which seeds to nurture?

I apologize, but I won't say I'm Sorry.



I won't say I'm sorry, because I believe in the impact of words. I don't want to suggest that I am "sorry," which means pitiful, poor or imperfect. I believe we are all divine children of the Universe and as such, cannot be sorry. I can feel sorry for you or regret something I've done, but I am still magnificent. I am still divine. I am still a child of God.



According to many sources, the combined words "I am" are very powerful.



Words are like weeds and I don't want to nurture the wrong ones. Thick Naht Hanh says we have the seeds of compassion and the seeds of violence within us, so every day we need to decide which ones we will nurture and practice. I choose to nuture the seeds of compassion and peace, so I will choose my words carefully. I know how hurtful words can be. Ask any adult who was bullied as a child. The physical wounds heal, but the emotional ones never do. So affirm that you are magnificent and others, too.
