The Support of a Hand

As I walked through the park the other day I noticed an elderly woman sitting quietly on one of the park benches next to the swing sets.


She was sitting very quietly with her head bowed, looking very intently at her hands.  She didn't move and I was concerned that something was wrong, so I approached her and sat down next to her and said,

"I didn't mean to disturb you, but you were just sitting here staring at your hands and I wanted to make sure you were OK."

"Have you ever looked at your hands," she asked. "I mean really looked at your hands?"
I slowly opened my hands and stared down at them. I turned them over, palms up and then palms down. No, I guess I had never really looked at my hands as I tried to figure out the point she was making.

The woman smiled and related this story:

"Stop and think for a moment about the hands you have, how they have served you well throughout your years. These hands, though wrinkled shriveled and weak have been the tools I have used all my life to reach out and grab and embrace life..."

"They braced and caught my fall when as a toddler I crashed upon the floor."

"They put food in my mouth and clothes on my back. As a child, my mother taught me to fold them in prayer. They tied my shoes and pulled on my boots. They held my husband and wiped my tears when he went off to war."

"They have been dirty, scraped and raw, swollen and bent. They were uneasy and clumsy when I tried to hold my newborn son. Decorated with my wedding band they showed the world that I was married and loved someone special."
"They wrote my letters to him and trembled and shook when I buried my parents and spouse."

"They have held my children and grandchildren, consoled neighbors, and shook in fists of anger when I didn't understand."
"They have covered my face, combed my hair, and washed and cleansed the rest of my body. They have been sticky and wet, bent and broken, dried and raw. And to this day when not much of anything else of me works real well these hands hold me up, lay me down, and again continue to fold in prayer."

These hands are the mark of where I've been and the ruggedness of life."


Have you looked at your hands and been thankful that they have supported many of your activities throughout life?  Are your hands something that you take for granted?  Even though you haven't paid much attention to them, they don't quit being supportive.


Be a hand in someone else's life, supportive, strong, soft, understanding, because many people hunger for understanding and support, they need strength but also a soft place to land.


Be that hand.

Is The Ride Getting Bumpy?

We boarded the plane just like any other time.  Getting ready to "hurdle" through the air in a tin box with 1,000 other people, heading to the same town in Texas.

It takes forever to get those big jets loaded up and ready to take off.  We stored our stuff in the over head and sat down.  We were in the rear of the plane so we knew it would take a while.

Finally at last we were air born.

Little did we know that the air was pretty unstable that day.  There were storms a brewing all along the way.  We were in for a 4 hour roller coaster ride.

The first bumps started about 20 minutes after take off and I didn't take them very seriously because I knew we would move away from the area and things would smooth out right?

Wrong!  It just got worse.  Reading was impossible so it was a good thing there was a movie playing but even that got a little bit blurry.

As the ride got bumpier and bumpier I noticed that I was taking note of the emergency exits and their proximity to us.

You see I was thinking like many do in this day in age.  If the ride gets bumpy, Jump ship.........Okay, that would be a long "jump"

When things get a little bumpy in your life do you hang in there and know that it will pass?  Or are you looking for the nearest and easiest exit?

I got a hold of myself and decided that it didn't matter where the exits were because I was there for the entire ride and there was no way it was going to end early.

Take charge of the bumpy times and ride them out because what is on the other side is worth waiting for.  Truly successful people never let the bumps get in the way, heck they don't even let mountains get in their way.

Don't let your fear take control of your life, be the master of your fear because you don't want fear to be driving your life, business or emotions.

Take a deep breath and then another, face your fears straight on, and those little "bumps" well that's what they are just little bumps!

How do you travel in your life?

Our recent trip to Mexico was very relaxing but also thought provoking at the same time. The people were all so happy there because they are happy to live each day. Sure every day they think of many of the same things that we do. What will we eat today? How will we make money to live on today? How will we get to work today?

These are many of the same questions that we ask ourself here in the States but I think that the answers come from a different place.

When we ask ourself what we will eat today we know there is a grocery store just around the corner with a variety of different foods that we can buy.

The people of Mexico ask that of them self as they go about their day. Money is tight so instead of heading to the store, they pick up a fishing line and go and catch their meal. There is plenty of fish so they know they will not go hungry. There are coconuts and bannanas to eat off the trees and many other fruits.

We ask ourself how we will make money today? Many of us have jobs that enable us to do that. Some of us are self employed, some of us are un-employed. It is a question that needs to be asked but sometimes there is not an answer.

The people of Mexico ask them self how they will make money on any day and I'm sure that some of them are not sure as they wake up in the morning but a plan formulates through out the day as they catch fish to sell or make crafts for the tourists to sell in the flea markets. Their economy is dependant on tourism as 85% of the people are involved with the industry. It is a family affair. Parents work the booths at the flea markets and the kids sell flowers or Chicklets.

We ask how we will get to work and we know that there is a bus or train that will take us there if we have no car. Most families have at least one vehicle.

Transportation came on two wheels.  The bikes I saw were well used and were very important for transportation. I couldn't help but notice that every kid I know  has a much nicer bike than the ones pictured above and the bikes the kids have are just for their own pleasure.

So when the day looks dim, maybe you look at your life as "half full", take a time out and be thankful for all of the blessings that have been bestowed upon you.  Be appreciative and be a better person for it.

Appreciation seems to be getting lost this day in age because there seems to be a larger amount of feelings of entitlement.  Entitled to get a hand out or live in this country.  There are no entitlements.  Not one person on this earth is mandated to do one single thing for you personally.  Therefore a deep appreciation should be felt for anything that is received no matter how small.

Your Environment, Is It Stronger Than Your Willpower?

Take a look at your environment.

How is your environment serving you? We should always be looking for ways to improve and grow, to learn and excel.  Does your environment promote that growth or does it get into the way?

If you decide that you no longer want to drink alcohol and you remove all of it from you immediate environment and then you go with someone to dinner or something of that nature and they order a drink.  Is your willpower going to be stronger than your environment?  If alcohol was an actual problem then I would say that your environment will at that point be stronger than your willpower.

Let's say you have a Hamster in a cage, you notice that it is dirty so you take the hamster out of the cage and clean it up.  You then put it back into the same cage and the next time you look at it, it's dirty again.  So if you continue to put your self in the same situation again and again you will find that you will end up in the same place again and again.

What if you were to take the hamster out of the cage and put them in a new and clean cage?  The hamster would stay clean.

So let's get right down to the point, we aren't talking about a dirty cage and a hamster.  We are talking about whom you surround yourself with.  If the people in your environment do not serve you, if they are able to convince you to do something that you would prefer not to do, then they have taken your willpower from you and you have let them do that.

It is time to take responsibility and  remove your self from the environment that is not healthy or at the very least clean up the environment that you already have.

It isn't easy to change the "status quo" because people want you to stay the same, that is the way they know you.  In order to change you sometimes need to remove your self for a time or forever from the situation.  Make a clean start and draw a line in the sand.  It doesn't matter what others think, what matters is what is in your heart, being strong in your resolve and making sure you don't get off course in your life.  

You are the only one that can make that happen.

It is a choice to be made, when you make the change, change will happen

Does Your Brain Go To The "Negativity Playground"?

Does your brain go to “the negativity play ground”?

Every day is full of new discoveries.  The possibilities are endless.  Some discoveries are exciting and some are enlightening.

We strive to live a positive life.  We do our best to keep our minds on a course of prosperity, health and wisdom.  Everyone know that nothing is perfect and that now and then a “little negativity creeps in”

I often wondered where it came from, was it lurking around the corner laying in wait for the right moment to spring a thought or idea on us that is less than positive?  Have we not “beaten” mostly all of the negative thought processes out of our being?

I made a discovery this morning that was rather enlightening about negativity. 

Each month I pay the bills on our 12 rentals (it’s a necessity not a joy).  All of the units are rented and the tenants are all pretty responsible with just typical renter’s problems.  In the past we have had people move in the middle of the night, taking anything they could with them including the appliances that we provide.  Not pay rent, not pay utilities, leaving huge messes.  However we are NOT experiencing any of this right now.

As I look at each invoice and matched each account number with the address, I realized what was going on in my brain.  I would come to an address that in the PAST had a less than desirable (putting it kindly) tenant and this is what my brain would say, “address 1455 Gina, what a crook”, address 1463 Ephrem, that nationality can’t be trusted (we had 4 of that nationality rent from us and all 4 did the same thing).

Do you see what is going on here?  My brain is having this negative conversation and I didn’t even hear it until I was on the last invoice.  Then I had to yell back to my brain that those people don’t live there any more. (by the way, it already knew that)

Why is it that I don’t know who lives in what unit right now when things are good but I can remember who lived there a year ago?

Do you see how past evens frame the life that you are living right now?  It doesn’t matter if the past evens are negative or positive, the event have an impact on us that is hard to deny.  They form the person that we are.

What I am saying here is that YOUR brain doesn’t need any help heading off to the “negativity play ground”.  What it does need your help with is keeping on a positive track.  Give it some help and when the lurking negative thoughts jump out to surprise you, bring some of your fight to the game and duck, swerve or what ever is necessary not to let it take over and move into your brain, because negativity breeds negativity and when it multiplies it is a hard thing to chase down and get rid of.

Read The Sign 25 MPH

This is the speed limit sign on our street.   There are no sidewalks as you can see.  Many people enjoy jogging, walking their pets and their kids, riding bikes and just enjoying outdoors on this street. 

We all know why speed limits are posted, to keep people safe that are driving and people safe that are not driving, to make it safe to back out of a driveway and things of that nature.

We were on our Sunday walk with our dog, she was off her leash.   We looked back and saw a car coming at us doing at least 50 MPH.  That’s twice the speed limit and my dog could possibly get in this cars way.

We stepped over to grab the dog I think the car was under the impression that we were flagging him down so he stopped and rolled down his window.  The man looked familiar but I couldn’t place him until he said, “can I help you with something?”  I suddenly recognized him as a gentleman by the name of Ralph.

 I have personally dealt with him for the past 20 years.  I had, in the past always thought of him as knowledgeable and helpful and also a kind person.

 I might not have recognized him in his current state if he wouldn’t have uttered those 4 words that were so familiar when I go into Office Depot. His attitude was not pleasant to say the least.  His voice was angry, his face was angry.  He wasn’t looking to help anyone.

We never had the chance to ask him to please slow down.  We told him we didn’t need any help, he rolled up his window and stepped on the gas so hard his tires spun and he raced off faster than he was going before. 

This man doesn’t live on our street or even in our neighborhood.  One block over there is a street going in the same direction with 45 MPH speed limit that he could have taken; he chose to speed through our neighborhood being aware that the speed is 25.  He KNEW he was going to fast he told that story by the way he sped away.

So ask yourself, how much integrity do you have?  Do you treat people differently because you are not being PAID to be nice to them? 

Do you consider how your actions affect others?  How would you feel if I raced through your neighborhood doing 50 or 60 MPH?  We all know the answer to that……

The point is that I wouldn’t do that because I have Integrity.

The point here is that your attitude does matter whether you are at work or on your own personal time.  Angry people seldom want to be angry alone that is why they try to make you angry.  DON'T TAKE THE BAIT.  Keep your cool and you will be a better person for it.

Seeking Wisdom

Seeking Knowledge and Wisdom

In order to have the life you want it is necessary to seek wisdom and knowledge. Without these then there is no light to follow and no growth can be attained.

Wisdom does not come in the form of a newspaper or the evening news. Wisdom comes from the ability to watch, listen and experience and to take note of each sensory. The media outlets just bombard us with negative junk that is not necessarily true.

Reading and listening to books and recordings that will bring about positive change in your life and help you to understand other people is the wisdom that will make your life fulfilling and worth living.

Making choices and moving forward. You can not change the past but you can sure improve your future by making a choice to change.

Select your friends with care, you are who your friends are. Their opinions and habits are shared with you. Look around, if your friends are perpetually making poor decisions, that will also reflect on you because of your association.

Choose to associate with people who you admire and respect. If you hang with a pigeon you will be destined to always be looking for a hand out. If you hang with eagles you will learn to soar.

If you only counsel with your self you can only draw conclusions from your own experience, when you counsel with the wise you will include their experience and that could open up a whole new world to you.

If you are the smartest and most fit person in your group of peers, then you need to add some people that are "better" than you, more fit, wealthier, etc. because these are the people that will make you reach higher and want to do more in life.

Be wise and serve others, by having a servants heart you will realize a satisfaction that can never happen when only serving your self. People who serve are popular and are wealthy beyond our monetary standards. As you serve others, their wisdom will be shared with you. The person that serves the most grows the fastest.

Develop a servants heart and do not be distressed when you need help and there no one there, but be thankful when you can help. Give a helping hand with no expectations of every receiving anything in return.

Form a servants heart

Seek wise counsel

Choose your friends with care

Just by doing these three simple things and making a choice to change you could transform your life into a thing of wonder.

In times of distress life just seems like it is going to be a very long ride. Seeking change and transforming the way you think will cause you to consider that maybe life is way to short and times-a-wasting. We only have so much time and wasting one minute of it is a sin. We are on a count down from the moment we are born.

We Are Mad As Hell, We Want Our Country Back

our Strength is in Numbers. The biggest Crooks among us are the politicians. They are scared to death of not getting re-elected because being a politician is their JOB! When the Constitution was written over 200 years ago there was no intention that the people that served the country would do it for their livelihood. They did it for the love of freedom and the love of their country. Not one of them received one thing for their efforts except for the threat of death.




Here we sit today, a country of people that are voting for the "lesser of two evils". Going along with a stimulus package that we have no way of repaying. Printing so much money that the company that supplies the paper to print all of that money is having a hard time keeping up with the presses.

There is no gold to back up the money.

Then we have the Federal Reserve which is not a government agency so it is not Federal and it has absolutely NO reserves so how misleading is that name.

Furthermore the Father of the Federal Reserve MOB just got his affirmation after talking around and around in circles making not a lick of sense, talking over the average persons head hoping that the average person will just think they don't understand politics when it is all very transparent but they make it look complicated.

This is the same man that said that the sub-prime loans pose no threat to the United States Economy back in 2006 or 2007. We all know that the sub-prime loans lead to more underhanded types of lending, laundering and ponzi schemes because regulations were out the window thanks to the previous mighty leader of the Federal Reserve Mob.

We The People do have the power to change things. To take our nation back. The first step to finding out how is to get with us and find out about a group that is preparing to do just that. We have a candidate for President for the 2012 election that will not be a "career president" , we need to reduce government by more than 1/2.

Together we have the power to do this, come to Houston Texas as our guest on January 30th and find out how we can "get her done". We will get you to where the information is, you get a ride there and find a place to lay you head on a pillow at night, we will do the rest.

Mexican Cruise

If you have never been on a cruise check out this video and see what one of the Cruise ships look like from this past year. This ship was NOT our favorite ship but it was so much fun and beautifully done. We had a beautiful balcony room that unfortunately I did not film in because we didn't spend that much time there. We did have a cocktail party in our room before our first formal dinner.




Hope you enjoyed this video. We have a few trips planned for this year and we will give you reviews of each place. Later this year we will be in Jamaica for a week and in March we will be in Florida.

My Mom is 70 Today

Today is my Mommy's Birthday. This is the woman that sewed almost all of our clothes when we were kids (maybe not all of my brothers) and all we wanted were a few "store bought" items or at least to be able to wear a pair of pants to school (I think I was in the 3rd or 4th grade before that ever happened).

We had no idea that we had "CUSTOM" clothing made of the "finest Corinthian Leather" (okay, I'm going a bit far) But serirously wouldn't you kill to have someone "FIT" you? Now I'm not saying that it didn't come without a few pokes and a litte bit of pain and Mom wasn't above giving your pony tail a tug if you were wiggling a bit much for her to get her work done and you better not talk back. Really, she had some deadlines! Heck, Days of Our Lives came on at 3 PM.

This is the gal that kept the household together, got us to our activities, Packed for us when we went on vacation and planned our birthday parties.

I can never remember a time when she forgot to pick us up or was even late. She kept our lives perfectly scheduled. When it came time to sell my girlscout cookies, she gave me a phone list, a "loose script" and handed me the phone, then she sat with the order form and a pen and marked down all of the orders. Thanks Mom for being our secretary too.

Thank you Mom for making us write a good thankyou note when we were young, it has come in handy over the years and that is something that I really appreciate. I know that some of these things seemed so un-appreciated by us at the time I'm sure you got the hint(and I speak for all 3 of us) but I also remember that you told us all that we would "Thank You Later".

So I know you are not one to tell me "I told you so", you did tell us all and I do thank you Mom and I want you to know you are so appreciated.

Happy 70th Birthday Mom, You don't look a day over the speed limit. (55 that is)

Love You!

Is It Your Responsibility?

Is It Your Responsibility?

Did you ever notice how people like to blame others for their misfortune? Yet when they have tremendously good luck they brought it about all on their own? It seems to be human nature now days to not take responsibility for our actions if they are unfavorable.

It is so Easy to blame a bad childhood or broken home, un-loving spouse or out of control kids; forces that are beyond what we can control.

In reality it is your choice not to let the stress of everyday life impact you in a negative way. It’s up to you to make wise choices today so that your future will look brighter.

Do not let your past control your destiny or you will be caught up in what is history and cannot be changed. Always look forward, never back.

You are responsible for your successes as well as your failures. You are where you are because of the choices you have made in the past, a past that cannot be changed. You are where you are today because of the way you think. If you wish to transform, change the way you think.

Mentally- Make the decision today to take responsibility for your choices and begin the process of transforming.

Emotionally- Make a decision to take control, make the choice to be happy and optimistic because life is worth living.


Spiritually- Find a place in your heart that you can connect yourself with something greater than you are.

Physically- Treat your body like the temple that it is. Start eating nutritious foods and giving your body the exercise it needs every day.

Financially- Time to stop ignoring what is going on and hit it head on. It’s not going away any time soon. If you don’t take care of your finances your finances won’t take care of you.

Seek the company of people that are doing good things in the world and set a high standard. Associating with people that are working and striving to bring about positive change, making decisions to change and therefore bringing about change helping where you can and expecting nothing in return

Make the best decision you can quickly and then work with the decision to make it right, stand behind your decision.



You control your thoughts, and you control your emotions. Never ask the question
“Why me?” but ask the question “why the heck not me?” Your choices have led you to your present. When faced with opposition or challenges, relish those times because that is when you have the biggest opportunity to grow.

Change can always be reversed but a TRANSFORMATION is complete and final.

When faced with adversity always look at it as an opportunity to make a choice. Adversity is never a problem; it is a chance to learn. Adversity is preparation for the greatness to come, so get prepared for something great.

Accept responsibility for all of your past
Accept responsibility for all of your success
You are in control of your thoughts and emotions
Accept responsibility for where you are in the present.
Take control of your future by making good choices today, in the present.

Carbon Copy Pro

Carbon Copy Pro puts on the best Marketing Events that we have ever attended.They have done tremendous research in producing Carbon Copy Pro. These guys have a heart and they care about your struggles, that is why they created Carbon Copy Pro.

Have you ever known someone that has unlocked some doors but they don't want to give you any of the keys. They are so protective of "their information" and they are vain enough to think they are the only ones that have that information.

Oh how wrong they are. Aaron Parkinson and Jay Kubessek know their information and then some. The difference between the two is that Aaron and Jay WANT you to succeed and they are going to give you the "secrets" that the others are "afraid" to tell.




When we went to our first Master Marketing Event we were amazed at the networking going on. I mean TRUE networking. Not just a how are you what is your name, do you have a card type of networking.

The type of networking I'm talking about is they actually have their computers out and they let you INSIDE. Everyone involved feels like they are on the same team even though there is some healthy competition going on amongst friends so nothing is "cut throat".

I came to realize that everyone has just a little different way of thinking and different energy and the big thing is imagination seems to be infinite and everyone has a different take.

So if you follow someone to the "T" and do everything they are doing, when you put your "spin" on it, your individuality comes out and you are different from all of the rest.




We have made a commitment to our self and we have changed our life.

and we have so much fun doing what we are doing.

When I was Growing up all the parents could tell me is that you get good grades in school, then you go and get a good job and keep it so you can retire from that job.

I realize that my parents didn't have a Chrystal ball to look into the future but times have changed and retirements have gone by the wayside. Corporations are making cost cutting decisions and they don't really care about you. Who cares? YOU DO, and you are the only one that can really look out for your best interest.

A Choice of a lifetime

What are the choices you are making in your life?

We all make choices every day. These are the choices that bring us to where we go. The choices you made last week or month has brought you to the point we are at this moment.

Do you make a choice each day to get up and do the same thing that you did the day before?

Are you satisfied with the place you are? Do you feel it is your “destiny” to be in a mediocre place, making mediocre money?

I am here to tell you that it isn’t. There isn’t “destiny” when there are choices because there is more than one out-come when the choices are many.

Quit using the excuse that your “fate” was “pre-destined” because that is all it is, an excuse. It is a cop out for not making a choice to make a change.Taking responsibility is the first step. Knowing when to make a move forward, start the change that you want in your life.

Only you can make that choice. And after the choice is made only you can carry it out.

Sometimes you might “drift” backwards; you have to be on the look out. Catch it early and get it turned around with baby steps.

Put one foot right in front of the other, on a straight path to all of the things that you want for your life.

Another Year Older or Another Year BETTER?

Today I woke up and knew I would be another year older, just a little bit later into the day.

I knew my life had changed, and I appreciate how happy I am in that life.

Of course my wonderful Hubby had a fabulous day planned full of the things I love to do.

In the past, I cleared my day of work and refused to talk about it the entire day. No work and no talking about work.

So this morning I was surprised to find us talking about our work. Gordon suddenly stopped talking and his eyes got wide. He said we needed to stop talking about work, it was my birthday and my reply was, "that's okay, it's fun"

Wow! Talk about a transformation! Work is FUN! We were putting our heads together and being creative, that is our work and we were having fun. We planned what we were going to do the next day for a while and then we continued about our day. Putting work aside because we can.

Spending the entire day together was the best part of my birthday. We have such a good time.

We went into a shop in Bend and found these red cowboy boots. I have been looking for a while for the right pair of USED boots and there they were, and here they are. No sooner had we gotten home and my cowgirl neighbor called and invited me on a ride with them tomorrow.

It is so fun to get out into the fresh air on my sweet girl Ebony (my neighbor so graciously lets me ride her beautiful horse). Three girls, three horses and the wild blue yonder.........I am going to have sweet "cowgirl dreams" tonight, Yahoo!

What Emotion do you feed?

What Emotion Do You Feed? Check Out My New Blog Post At:

The Good, The Bad and How It Can Get Ugly

One evening an old Cherokee told his grandson about

a battle that goes on inside people. He said, 'My son, the
battle is between two 'wolves' inside us all. One is Evil.
It is anger, envy, jealousy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,
self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride,
superiority, and ego. The other is Good. It is joy, peace,
love, hope, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence,
empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith.' The
grandson thought about it for a minute and then asked his
grandfather: 'Which wolf wins?'

The old Cherokee simply replied,

'The one you feed.'

I heard this and I thought to myself, Wow, is that the truth or what?

How many people do you know that feed the negative, anger and resentment?

Select the people that you associate yourself with very carefully because a portion of what they are will eventually rub off on you.

Our hearts know how we feel, we call it our "gut" feelings but it is actually your heart's electrodes responding to what you are physically doing and mentally thinking.
When we do good, we feel good and likewise when we do something not so good we feel bad (at least you should).

In order for something to grow you need to feed it. So make a choice to choke out the anger, resentment, disappointment, hatred, jealousy, envy, sorrow, judgemental, negative, arrogant, greed.

It needs to be a choice and eventually it will be a way of life because the choice will be to feed the positive things in life. The things in life that we look back on with fondness, that bring a smile to our face. Those are the things that need to be fed.

Share happiness, love, compassion, benevolence, generosity, faith, hope, kindness, empathy, serenity, and friendship.

They are so much more fun to share. There is nothing better than a big smile or better yet laughter that comes from the heart.

New blog post today about increasing your knowledge. What is life teaching you?
http://ping.fm/p37V4

Increasing Your Knowledge

I woke up this morning and wondered, "what will I learn today?"

Each day is an opportunity to increase your knowledge of the world.

With each experience there is something to be learned. And that something is different for everyone.

For instance, I had an appointment to have my teeth cleaned the other day. I realize that people have many different emotions about sitting in the dentist chair. Well, it doesn't bother me so I sit down and open my mouth. What I learned is that I was missing brushing some teeth and I was paying attention to where those areas were.

I said something about missing some spots and the hygienist was surprised that I was paying attention so that I could improve my brushing. She said that most people were just interested in the office gossip and she wished more people would pay attention and at least floss once in a while.

I took what I learned that day and have been using the information ever since to make sure that I don't gather plaque and tartar on my teeth. I see that as a pretty important lesson. Without your teeth and your feet, where would you be? Couldn't smile or eat and with out feet you can't get around that well, so both are pretty important.

Look around each day and see what you can learn. It could have a small impact on your life or it could bring about profound change in you.

Learn to be happy and thankful, to help others to feel better. And in doing so it will also make you a better person. Try to give out at least 3 compliments a day. After a while it gets addicting and I'll bet you can't stop with just 3.

Be the light in your world and light will be returned. Be the happiness in your world and happiness will be returned. Be the love in your world and love will be returned.

All of these things will return to you in threefold if they are shared from the heart.
