Have You Reached Your Full Human Potential?
Have You Reached Your Full Human Potential? by Lady Camelot
Have you reached your full human potential? By far, too many
souls have lived their lives wandering aimlessly about in
hopeless despair. Each day, people awaken to a new day but dwell
on the same problems from days, months, even years before. Worry
and anguish seem to top the lists of those constant
procrastinators and apprehensive individuals who would rather
give up on life than find the positive it has to offer us all.
I present ...Read the rest of this entry »

Life Lesson
Every time I look around it seems like someone is asking for
help with something. Whether it is a world disaster relief group
or the local hockey team asking for bottle returns, everybody
needs something.
I know there are a lot of people out there always asking you to
donate money to various causes so I purposed to not give you a
specific charitable donation request. I am simply going to ask
you to take some time to think about the concept of giving.

All About Car Donations
Car donations have become a great way to help charity. People
simply offer their unwanted vehicle to a charity. The charity
either has a lot where the car is sold or has an auction company
take care of the sale.
In the United States car donations are tax deductible. This has
made car donations very popular. The IRS even has a form just
for those wishing to get the tax deduction. Also the charity you
are going to donate to have to have "non profit" status with the
IRS.
In 2000 nearly 3/4 of a ...Read the rest of this entry »

Choose Now a Holiday of Significance ... (and Less Stress) for
During the holiday season, time is a prized commodity and the
preciousness of family is (hopefully) paramount in our minds.
How is it then that we get so carried away with things that are
not of lasting significance? I wonder too. Are you ready to make
a change? Let's tackle this now and relax sweetly into the
holiday season while visions of sugarplums dance in our heads.
First, take some time now to discuss with your family what you

God's Plan
I've heard it said that the best way to make God laugh is to
tell him your plans. Well, I've got a story that proves it.
I've been a cat person since the day I was born. My mom says my
first word after mommy and daddy was 'kitty.' I believe like
Leonardo Da Vinci who said, "The smallest feline is a
masterpiece." I love to watch the antics of cats, to pet those
soft furry bodies and to put my ear next to them when they purr.
There is nothing more soothing than the purr of a cat. And, cats
are ...Read the rest of this entry »
A Year's Worth of Character Training to Last a Lifetime
Ever wonder why some kids are the way they are? Ever wonder why
some kids seem to lack the basics in true inner character? Well,
just exactly how did we think children would ever get character
' without being taught character. Long gone are the days when
whole communities worship weekly. Long gone are the days when
everyone in our small societal circles subscribe to the same
exacting morals and principles to guide life and living.
I remember when my son was young we made a move to a new ...Read the rest of this entry »
Divining Your Karmic Number
Your karmic number interpretation tells you what you need to do
in order to correct your actions from previous lives. It can
also help provide invaluable instruction as to what to do so
that you can reap the rewards of the seeds that you sow in this
life. To divine your karmic number, you must first add together
all of the letters of your full birth name. For example, let's
take the example of actor Brad Pitt, whose full name is William
Bradley Pitt. Using the chart below we would take all of ...Read the rest of this entry »

A Resolution Worth Keeping
New Years Resolutions: Making them is a tradition -keeping of
them is usually optional. That's unfortunate, because some of
the pledges we make in those moments before the calendar changes
are wonderful things to aspire to - spending more time with our
children, exercising regularly, stopping a bad habit like
smoking - or considering chocolate one of the main food groups.
Yet, this is the one time of the year that it's condoned -
almost expected - that we don't follow through on our ...Read the rest of this entry »
Abandon Religion
Abandon Religion
By Punkerslut
Why Abandon Religion?
It is so commonly believed today that religion is a source of
goodness and charity for so many people. It is also believed
that to oppose religion is also to oppose the goodness and
charity stipulated to be with it. When I ask others to abandon
religion, they will reply, "Why would you want to abandon
something that has produced so many helpful things?" But I am
not asking people to give up the affectionate and tender ways,
laced with ...Read the rest of this entry »
Bill And Hillary
As the race to the White House in '08 heats up, more Republican and Democrat candidates than ever before have become frontrunners for their respective nominations. The Right has the usual "white male" candidates that have been the United States' standard for presidents, while for the first time, the Left has two really viable differentiations for their nomination: a black male and a white female.
Hilary Clinton is leading the polls for Democratic presidential candidate, with Barack Obama in ...Read the rest of this entry »
You're In Bad Hands With Nanny State
Thomas Jefferson wrote in his autobiography that, "Were we directed from Washington when to sow and when to reap, we should soon want bread." And boy was he ever right on that. Because since the time he wrote those words we have seen what happens when governments dictate to the people how to "sow" and when to "reap". What's that? You want a list? Ok, how about any number of the currently floundering European style socialist states, Cuba, North Korea, Iran and the former Soviet Union for ...Read the rest of this entry »
I Had a Dream
You know, I'm really nobody. But, I think I'm a lot like all the other nobody's who make up the greatest nation on Earth. I often wonder if other people are thinking and feeling, what I'm thinking and feeling, at a given time. Right now, I'm not working and don't see anything coming up, anytime soon in my chosen career. What that career is, is really irrelevant because the unemployment statistics say, a whole lot of other people have to be thinking and feeling a lot of the same things I am. I ...Read the rest of this entry »
The Power of Intention
Copyright 2005 Kathy Paauw
Overwhelmed! That's a word I've heard a lot lately. A client
recently exclaimed, "Who has the time to focus on one thing at a
time these days? That's a luxury I just cannot afford!" In an
effort to be more efficient, most of us have learned how to
multitask.
Computers are known for their ability to multitask. For example,
you can compose a letter while scanning for viruses or
downloading a software update. But have you noticed that even
computers are often not as ...Read the rest of this entry »
Verse No. 12 in the Bible Versus the Quran
This is a new series (1-12) of Verse No. in the Bible versus the Quran.

The Roots Of Poverty
Remedying only the superficial manifestations of the deeper
underlying problems of extreme poverty will never end poverty
itself. At best, this approach will temporarily relieve urgent
problems; at worst, it will exacerbate them or create long-term
trade-off problems. If we want to eliminate poverty, we must
look at its roots and apply sustainable, pragmatic development
solutions.
There are many popular misconceptions about underdeveloped
countries that prevent both politicians and private ...Read the rest of this entry »
Finding Direction
Finding Direction Finding Passion Series - 2 of 3
In order to find the right direction for ourselves, we have to
do some soul searching. What is it I want to accomplish? Why?
What kind of person do I want to become? Is it so weird to be in
our thirties or forties and ask ourselves, "So, what do I want
to be when I grow up?" What would make us jump out of bed
excited and motivated to get the day started? Before getting
into these big questions, we need to find out the roots behind
our decisions. ...Read the rest of this entry »
Poker on TV
Poker on TV has been the catalyst that allows millions of people
to view real poker being played by today's young guns and poker
legends. A day does not go by without advertising for another
Texas Hold'Em TV poker scheduled event for cable or television.
It is becoming the basis for corporate investment in a growing
industry and a motivation for players to enter numerous
tournaments that offer millions of dollars. Software is being
developed for hand held devices and cell phones to play ...Read the rest of this entry »
Does Money Buy Happiness?
According to researchers (footnote, E.g., Martin Seligman,
Daniel Kahneman, Ed Deiner), money buys happiness only to a very
limited extent. Not having money- that is, a family income of
less than 30,000- is related to less happiness, but once your
basic needs are being met, the increase in happiness from say,
$31,000 to $131,000 is really not that great! Hard to believe,
isn't it? Think of all the time and energy we spend trying to
attain more money- and it really doesn't make that big of ...Read the rest of this entry »

We are in a Footrace against time to stop global warming, cure diseases & get off the planet before we expend all its resources. We can do it if we work together and help one another. And it starts yesterday, get moving. Help others, give to charities, volunteer for good causes. We're in it together for the long haul. We need to be good to each other and manage our resources for future generations to come. We need to save the human race from itself.
