Florida's $9 billion orange crop, the largest in the world after Brazil's, may not survive an incurable disease that threatens to wipe out citrus groves throughout the United States.

The disease, known as "citrus greening" or huanglongbing, is caused by a bacterium, Candidatus Liberibacter asiaticus. The bacteria are spread from tree to tree by a tiny insect called the Asian citrus psyllid, The New York Times reports.

On Monday morning, new record low temperatures for May 13 were tied or broken in Nashville, Tenn., Toledo, Ohio, Detroit, Mich., Tupelo, Miss. and Marquette, Mich., to name a few locations. Light snow was even reported in Bradford, Pa. and in the Adirondacks of Upstate New York.

HJ: If I had to pick the top 3 practices that have changed my life beyond measure, the consistent application of Gratitude would be one of them.  Quite simply, harnessing the power of gratitude in your life is one of the most transformational and remarkable things you can do for yourself and hence the world around you as well.  When you experience gratitude, you immediately shift your vibration to one of joy and abundance, as these qualities embody its essence.  Gratitude is one of the major keys to higher consciousness — its practice both expands your reality and keeps you aligned with a higher consciousness — both in practice and experience.  The effects are immediate, but also cumulative, meaning that as you practice gratitude regularly, it becomes easier and its effects in your life become more noticeable and begin to take on their own incredible momentum as the law of attraction begins to work.  After all, gratitude is an expression of abundance — regular, genuine practice will only draw more to you.  So, if you are not already practicing gratitude in your life, when will you begin?

Now I AM quite certain that we are in the last days of 3D life. A personal situation has developed for me (re-emergence of meth-head brother-in-law) that is testing my own focus.
 
Initially, I was indignant and my psyche was "at attention" with all kinds of negative vibes and imagined negative scenarios! But, after about one hour, I started FEELING glimmers of positivity and now have received assurance from my higher self that, no matter what happens as this situation plays out, I AM ok and will be OK! in my future. Is this a last scenario of negativity that is being released from me? I think that it is!
 
What a wonderful release for me! Now...I will focus  imagining my stressed-out husband being and feeling better as well as this situation will all work out in a positive way.

The ones truly meant to stand beside you are often waiting in the wings, watching silently. They’ve been there all along; smiling at your successes, cheering when you accomplish your goals, loving you when you feel unlovable and sending healing when you feel you have crashed. Turn around, look behind you and you’ll see them gazing at you with all the love in the world. ~ Creator
