Today is the first day of the rest of your life. I am sure you have heard this expression. What does it mean?To me, it means that if I made a mistake yesterday. I have today to start all over again. To negate that mistake I made yesterday by learning from it and moving onward and upward.It means if I didn't do something I should have done, I have today, the first day of the rest of my life to fix that. It means I can move forward without looking back and dwelling on the past. What's done is don

Create a Family of Loyal Customers

You have taken advantage of a special price promotion which will last a year. When that year is up, you will then be paying regular rates. A few months later, you receive another promotion and make contact with the company to take advantage of it only to be told it’s for new customers only.That may be good marketing but it isn’t taking care of the already loyal customer. If they get a promotion from another company, don’t think they won’t accept.In order to gain loyalty

Thoughts about being positive

The hardest part of a journey is in the mind. If you can believe in it, you CAN achieve it.Do you make positive thinking your way of life?When you are having a bad time, do you allow yourself to cry. After the tears fade you can then concentrate on all the good things in your life and move on.When you hit a road block of stones, do you start throwing them? Do you complain about them? Stumble on them? Climb over them? Or do you start to build with them?Think beautiful thoughts and beautiful thin

Singing the Blues

Without becoming too long winded - hopefully - I have been feeling a bit of the blues lately. It's nothing major though my patience seems to be at rock bottom.As you may know, my husband has MS - again, not a major issue as he can still walk - albeit, short distances before he needs to sit down.Six years ago this year, we met on a game online. We hit it off really well and soon fell in love. Fast forward two years later when we were married. Since he was already disabled, there was no way he co

Their work with pets is amazing. I want to include one for wild animals (thinking PETA) and one for farm animals (hopefully CIWF
