Family Bonding Activities for Thanksgiving.

May 1st, 2008

Permissino to reprint and change title. ————– There are
three main themes for Thanksgiving: gratitude, the harvest, and
family. We can lose track of these things when we’re busy
preparing for company and big meals, and Christmas shopping, and
the kids are out of school too! Here are some ways you and the
family can share some time recapturing the meaning of
Thanksgiving, or even start some new traditions.

Let each member of the family make a list of things they’re
grateful for. Read the lists before the meal and save them for
memories in years to come.

Start a “thanks” journal you’ll keep all year. Instead of
writing down problems and concerns, write down the things you’re
grateful for.

Think harvest! Make a trip to your local Farmers Market or
Produce Row to take photos, have fun, and support the people who
feed us all!

Spend the long weekend on family projects such as making a
Family Tree. For help, visit ancestry.com, or check out the
Family Tree maker on geneology.org.

How about some family crafting for Thanksgiving? There are some
great crafts ideas hereto do with the kids, plus recipes,
songs, and learning activities, even computer worksheets for
older “kids”.

Put the family photos in order, and share some memories and
tales. Go here
to learn the basics of scrapbooking. Take the time to sort them
by date, and write on the backs who all the people are.

Make some “Corny” Table toppers. Find directions here — Thanksgiving place cards and napkin rings.

Make some “Good Manners Napkins.” This is so sweet! All you
need is cloth napkins, pieces of paper, pencil, fabric markers,
and scissors to write on napkins “Use your napkin,” or “Chew
with your mouth closed.” Go here for these darling reminders to “mind your manners”!

Make Color Me Thankful Posters for each guest at Thanksgiving
table. Download poster and instructions here. Did you know
Sarah Josepha Hale, an acclaimed author and editor lobbied for
23 years before she got President Lincoln to establish
Thanksgiving as a national holiday in 1863? Spend some evenings
reading about the history and traditions of Thanksgiving. Here’s
one site with
information.

Try some of these family bonding activities to share the season
and appreciate it, and one another, more.

Your Power Is Timeless Experience… Get Clear

May 1st, 2008

I was flabbergasted after reading most of the books written by John Harricharan, Your Holiness the Dalai Lama, and Deepak Chopra. I also read many articles and watched TV shows about them.

I discovered our experience doesn’t come only from this life we are living right now. You can have spent ten, twenty, thirty or forty years learning and guiding others in your field about things on which you are considered an expert.

However, sometimes an eight-, twelve- or fourteen-year-old child can express words of wisdom to which if we humbly pay attention, we can receive a big lesson in simple words to apply in our life and be successful.

Outstanding examples of evolved souls spreading their experience through words that confused and still confuse those adults who are not open-minded were the young Jesus of Nazareth and Siddhartha Gautama.

For the mainstream way of thinking, this could sound as though it were the remains of an old ideology. Even some modern spiritual Gurus trust in somebody who has a long resume of experience and big corporations recommending her or him.

These intuitive experts can’t see the most important thing is your spiritual clearness.

Somebody with a couple of months or one or two years of experience in a certain field of knowledge and who has a clear mind can “download” a long-time experience from a past life.

As Joe Vitale suggests in his best-selling book Spiritual Marketing when he refers to a past experience with a woman ahead of him in line to attend a seminar,

“If you are truly clear about your business, you don’t even need business cards. Business just comes to you. Your inner spirit does your market.”

He beautifully explains that sometimes, an event such as a seminar is already booked up before the publicity flyers are sent out.

As soon as a person is clear about what he really wants in life and it fits with her purpose for being here on earth, every kind of abundance comes into that life: health, wealth and happy relationships.

Wayne Dyer talks a lot about Satori in his writings, recordings and speeches. It is an instant awakening. Long years of training and meditation are not really necessary.

Dr. Dyers puts it this way, “You are complete right now. You don’t need anything else to succeed. Even a child is complete in the level he is right now.”

Sonia Choquette in her workshops, especially the one called “Trust your vibes”, raises the spirit of the participants with a spiritual speech, music and songs, and by sharing her vibrating energy with them.

She very openly and clearly says, “You don’t need another seminar, another workshop, read another book. You are complete and perfect souls right now. Wake up. Do your job. Let your happiness out.”

Jan Brogniez and Stacey Hall - authors of Attracting Perfect Customers and creators of the concept of Strategic Synchronicity - are good examples as to the way clearness works to allow someone to become an overnight expert.

Jan explains, “It’s really not that we are in the ‘magic business’, it’s more that our process which is very strategic in nature, allows people to get very focused on what is perfect for them. And because of that clarity and focus they begin to attract things that seem to come with synchronicity. And they come with more frequency than when we are not clear and not focused.”

Stacey continues:

“Well, I’ve got to share that the inspiration came from within ourselves. Yes it seems strange. Yes others have written about the Law of Attraction, which is the foundation that the strategic attraction process is built on. However, I have to admit I hadn’t read anything about the Law of Attraction, and Jan only had a little bit of knowledge about it.”

“If we first go within, and are clear about what we want to provide, and stay true to that, then we will start to attract people, who want the same thing. That is the Law of Attraction.”

“It was only after that awareness that we would start to read what others were speaking about the same subject. People, like Wayne Dyer, Laura Day with Practical Intuition, Catherine Ponder in The Dynamic Laws of Prosperity.”

“Where it begins is by being clear about who you are and what’s at your core first. Then you’ll know why you’re doing what you’re doing. And who it is you are meant to be serving.”

This would be surprising even for some gurus, and sometimes hard for them to accept. As soon as an evolved soul starts serving and loving, a new expert appears to help the world.

Even if others “senior” gurus don’t support her or him with their testimonials, the new guru will unstoppably share with humanity, collaterally creating abundance of health, wealth and happy relationships.

I am not scorning or denying gurus are helping us to grow spiritually. Many marketing gurus can help you increase your business.

The point is you can’t give your power to them. When you are really clear about what you want in life, what you love to do, and what your purpose is for being on earth, just go ahead. Carol Tuttle, author of the best-selling book Remembering Wholeness: A Personal Handbook for Thriving in the 21st Century, says it beautifully, “Let your life be the next miracle!”

If your passion is to write a book, go for it. Even if gurus don’t give you a testimonial, you will triumph. As Wayne Dyer suggests, don’t be paralyzed by the way others evaluate your capacity.

Of course, this is not a message of rebellion. It is good to have a mentor. Many businesses have grown after hiring one or more consultants.

But if your learn to get clear about what you want and you feel really happy, go ahead without stopping, even if a modern guru evaluates you as going the wrong way. It’s your passion, not theirs.

Take into consideration many modern gurus, even “spiritual” ones, give you only a beautiful testimonial and open support if you have been acting as a consultant to Coca-Cola for many years (more than ten at least.)

Never be disheartened by this. Send love out. Accept that everybody else acts according to the perfection synchronicity of the Universe and you’ll automatically attract everything and everybody you need to succeed.

Going back to Jan and Stacy’s case, early on when they stated her mission by including the phrase, “generating communities in which millionaires are produced”, neither one of them were millionaires.

However, because of their clearness that has become the normal outcome. As Stacey says, “Many people came to play with us.”

Joe Vitale says about these wonderful girls, “When you lead from your heart, clients are attracted to you. Call it magnetic marketing, attraction marketing, or just easy marketing. It’s pure wisdom.” See what Dr. Vitale says, “Pure wisdom.” Beautiful!

Everything done, here there is a big lesson for all of us. If you learn to be happy, do what you love to do and what’s your mission on earth, your true self will market for you.

Some gurus who doubted Jan and Stacey’s mission at the beginning now are willing to write testimonials for them.

Even Gurus still have some ego. Ego demands a very loaded background of marketing and data proofs to recommend somebody.

So, I advise you, the beginner, that you have just begun as a human being to discover your greatness. Your spirit is not a beginner. It already knew and knows everything about what happened, what is happening, and what is going to happen.

As gurus teach, let’s remind ourselves that the only separate one is ego. All of us are the same sacred self. We are a universal mind and body, wholeness.

Let’s support each other. Let us never be indifferent with others. Let’s practice the “Spiritual Marketing” coined by Dr. Joe Vitale.

In this way, abundance will be manifested as a common trait for all human beings reflecting their spiritual beingness. Beingness is coexistence. Coexistence is timeless existence.

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams! Live the life you’ve imagined.” - Henry David Thoreau. Yeah, learn to get clear. Love yourself and others.

“There is one almighty awareness, thinking, compassionate awareness, of which you are from and of, infinitely kind, all knowing, all loving, distant as the furthest mote of dust in space, yet as near as the beating of your heart, here and there, before and after, always and forever. And when-so-ever you should call unto it, it answers you by name” - Michael Dooley.

2005 Ford Five Hundred Complemented with Top Notch Parts for Parts Train

May 1st, 2008

The Five Hundred will become Ford’s flagship sedan. It has
higher seating, increased interior space, and optional all-wheel
drive. The Five Hundred has considerably more interior space
than the full-size Crown Victoria, even though it’s only 25
centimeters shorter

“While the industry tries to make car-based crossovers, the Ford
Five Hundred stands alone as the first crossover-based car” said
Ford vice president Phil Martens.

It’s a 4-door sedan with SUV and crossover advantages, including
cargo capability, versatility, “command” seating and available
all-wheel drive.

The Five Hundred’s 3.0-litre Duratec V6 engine makes 200
horsepower while two transmissions will be offered: a six-speed
automatic and a CVT (continuously variable transmission).

The front seat H (hip) point is four inches higher than that in
a typical midsize sedan, and the rear seats are higher still.
Legroom is best-in-class front and rear, while the trunk is
biggest in class. An appealing truck/SUV attribute of the Ford
500 is high seating that helps drivers see over-or at least
eye-to-eye with-other vehicles for a feeling of security.

Standard features include 17-inch wheels (upgraded to 18-in. on
SEL and Limited), entry keypad and one-touch “up” front power
windows. Options include AWD, leather seating with power
adjustments (including power recliner for the driver), fold-flat
front passenger seat, reverse parking assist and a moon roof,
but not yet a navigation system.

The Five Hundred is a front-wheel-drive car with available
all-wheel drive. It uses an electronically controlled,
electro-hydraulic Haldex limited-slip viscous coupling just
ahead of the rear differential to transfer torque to the rear
wheels whenever the fronts begin to slip. Electronic controls
gather information from the anti-lock brakes and other sensors
to enable it to react within 50 milliseconds, much faster than
competitive viscous devices.

Ford 500 Safety feature boasts structural advances such as
“Space Architecture” cross-car beams, which won four top
five-star safety ratings from the National Traffic Safety
Administration (NHTSA), including for front and side impacts. It
was the only 2005 model tested to win top marks for those two
crash tests without the optional side air bags.

Only a few car parts manufacturers can match the quality that Parts Trainhas for
Ford parts and the company boasts of an impressive array of Ford
replacement and Ford car parts. Only the
finest in the industry at extremely low prices that beats the
automotive industry standard is the company’s commitment to its
customers. Parts Train has a certified secured online store http://www.partstrain.com/ShopBy
Vehicle/FORD that ships your order right at your doorstep in
the soonest possible time. Like Ford the car manufacturer whose
foremost concern is fulfilling the needs of its customers
worldwide, Parts Train is strongly committed to the utmost
satisfaction of its customer base.

Auction Fortunes Are Dependant On Ebay Software

May 1st, 2008

Ebay software, that is tools that automate many of the steps required to sell items online, are making all the difference for the small business types who are trying to make it as professional auctioneers.

So what kinds of tools are we talking about? Well if you are at all familiar with internet marketing well then you know the jobs that most of these tools are created to accomplish. First there are simply automated tasks that ebay software or software designed specifically to interact with the ebay website. These include things like marketing research, that is finding out what kinds of things are popular and how the trends of the demand for these items is for specific times of the year. Research tools are also built to analyze the habits of people buying these products. What are the most effective descriptions of the products? What are the most profitable ways to display the products on line? What price structures should be used? What prices are most effective for certain times of the year?

After research comes building the descriptions and sales pages to put up on ebay’s auction site. Each of these sites needs to be managed during the auction as well as after the auction has ended. There is ebay software that can take care of each of these steps. As you can imagine if each of these steps were automated, the scale that you can operate on becomes much larger and therefore more profitable.

The reason that computer programs (i.e. ebay software) can do this successfully is that marketing on the internet has been reduced to a science of steps and formulas that create a situation favorable for the sale of an item. After that it is just a numbers game. All you need to get enough people who are interested in the product you are selling to see your sales page and you will make a certain percentage of the sales.

So much of the so called ebay software functions in the internet world that exists outside of ebay. There are tools that promote product pages from ebay to the major search engines. This promotion is really the bread and butter of internet marketing in general and may be the most important set of tools that a successful professional auction marketer owns. One thing that we know for sure is that the internet is here to stay and anyone who invests in the ability to make an income online will not be disappointed.

When not telling people how he built his ebay power selling empire you can find Boyd Troublerr gardening in his large vegetable garden. If you want to learn how to find success with the aid of ebay software go to www.buyebaysoftware.info.
