“The game of life is a lot like football. You have to tackle your problems, block your fears, and score your points when you get the opportunity.” —Lewis Grizzard

Love Comes From The Heart

Can you love someone whom you have never meet personally? I have been spending a lot of time in online social portals, writing groups, and chat rooms over the past year and have learned that indeed you can love people whom you have never personally meet. It is so easy in today's world to become self absorbent thinking only of ourselves, our troubles, our needs, our desires, we are all guilty of it at some point in our lives. We are human, after all. I have made some great new friendship over the Internet and truly feel a bond with these friends. I would take to this opportunity to wish each of you a special and loving Valentine Wish! You have enriched my life.
~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~~
"Don’t just pretend to love others. Really love them. Hate what is wrong. Hold tightly to what is good. Love each other with genuine affection, and take delight in honoring each other. Never be lazy, but work hard and serve the Lord enthusiastically. Rejoice in our confident hope. Be patient in trouble, and keep on praying. When God’s people are in need, be ready to help them. Always be eager to practice hospitality."
Romans 12:9-13 New Living Translation Bible

Super Bowl Sunday!

Super Bowl XLIII, Saints or Colts?  Who will you be pulling for?  




I like both teams so I was undecided for a while, however, I think I will be pulling for the Saints. The Colts have been in the Super twice, and since this is the Saints first trip I'm going to give them my support.


It should be an interesting game with some hard hitting in your face football.  For a list of the history of who played who in what super bowl you can go here. 


I'm looking forward to the halftime show with "The Who." I'm curious to see how their performance stacks up to the way I remember them way back when. 


Wishing you all a great, fun, safe day with friends and family!

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.
-- Ralph Waldo Emerson

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.

Wishing you a day of success, inspiration, and happiness.
Pay it forward!
