Touch Someone Today

Whatever our hands touch -
We leave fingerprints!
On walls, on furniture
On doorknobs, dishes, books.
There's no escape.
As we touch we leave our identity.

Wherever I go today
Help me leave heartprints!
Heartprints of compassion
Of understanding and love.
Heartprints of kindness
And genuine concern.
May my heart touch a lonely neighbor
Or a runaway daughter
Or an anxious mother
Or perhaps an aged grandfather.
Send me out today
To leave heartprints.
And if someone should say,
"I felt your touch,"
May they also sense the love
that is deep within my heart.

Doubting Thomas

Hello everyone. I hope you are having an awesome week. I just got off my weekly webinar, checked my PayPal account, and I'm pumped and excited.  Being from the  "old school" I have always been a bit leery of the actuality that you could sit at your computer, in the comfort of your home, in your PJ's, with a cup of coffee and make money.  Granny has been burnt a few times over the years and so I've become a bit cautious, which unfortunately in this day and time we have to be, not only in cyberspace but in the real world as well. There are indeed a lot of scams and a hoard of folks roaming about who will gladly take advantage of you.

With that said, what I am discovering is that, although there are scam artist who prey on our vulnerabilities, there are also those who scream scam, scam, scam, when in fact, it's not a scam at all. In actuality they shout scam because they failed to succeed, not because the opportunity is truly a scam, but because they sat back on their laurels rubbing their hands together waiting to get rich. Then instead of admitting this to themselves or others they just run around cyberspace screaming scam.

There are some truly honest and good opportunities to make extra cash working online in social marketing. I know because I'm doing it!  However, like any JOB it takes a little effort on your part.  So, the next time you hear scam, or dismiss an opportunity because of something someone said, take a moment and consider the person.  Is the opportunity really a scam or did the person just not put forth the effort to make the opportunity profitable for them and thereby they feel they were scammed and they want you to think it too.

Well, that's my tidbit of advice for all you wonderful folks today. May you be all you can in 2010 and may all your dreams come true.

People do not seem to realize that their opinion of the world is also a confession of character.

Thought For The Day

Don't fear failure so much that you refuse to try new things. The saddest summary of a life contains three descriptions: could have, might have, and should have.

Pay it forward!

F2K Starts Tomorrow

Well it looks like it's going to be a busy and interesting January. Tomorrow starts another session of the 7 week free writing course where I am a mentor. I will also begin teaching my LIR classes this month. Lesson plans to prepare for both not to mention the numerous training webinar's I have scheduled for my network marketing venture. If keeping your mind active keeps Alzheimer at bay then I guess I'm safe for now.

I'm excited to start back with my writing class and of course I love my job teaching the Learning In Retirement Group. My need to get organized is more important now than ever. Therefore, my new years resolution is to come up with a daily plan of action and stick to it, as much as possible anyway.

Well it's almost midnight and my eyes are getting tired so I will bid you all a good night. I wish you much success, happiness, and laughter in the year ahead.

Oh, and I got a new Wii Fitness for Christmas so I can try to squeeze in a little exercise to keep the cobwebs cleared out of the old brain, while hopefully giving the old saggy bottom a lift as well.

A New Year Begins

Hoping everyone had a safe and happy new year. My weekend was spent socializing with family and friends. The weekend is almost over and a new week begins.  The first week of my new year will begin with a new session of my course that I mentor for WVU. My writing has taken a back seat for the past several months and I anxiously look forward to getting back in touch with all my writer friends and meeting new aspiring writers who are looking to pursue their dreams.

I will also be starting back to work teaching on the 19th so I will be meeting new students and reconnecting with old friends as well. I hope that God will provide me with a renewed spirit to accomplish my goals of helping as many people as I can in the coming year achieve their goals and dreams.

My challenge to you is to vow to try at least one thing new this year. Fear is only fear if you allow it to be. So face your fears head on and do that one thing you have always wanted to try.

May 2010 be full of all you desire and wish for.

Getting Ready For The New Year

Good morning. Well, I am back home from my extended stay in California with the grand babies. What a wonderful time I had. It amazes me how quickly the little ones grow. It's like watching a flower bloom in spring. One day they are crawling and it seems like the next they are walking.

Maddy will soon be 9 months old and is standing, pulling up, and almost walking. Little Jack isn't so little any more and is talking in full sentences. He is also a tribute to the tag "terrible two's". LOL He is such a smart and awesome little boy.

If things go according to plan my daughter and the kids will be moving back to Alabama around March or April for a year, while daddy goes on a year's tour, which means grandma will be getting to see a lot more of them. So I am anticipating a grand 2010!

I am staying busy as a bug with my new online business and in January F2K (my writing class) will be starting up again and I will also be returning to work teaching. So I will be running full steam ahead trying to out run old age. I figure if I stay busy enough perhaps it can't catch me.

I hope each one of you had an awesome and wonderful Christmas and that the New Year will prove to be awesome for you as well
