The holidays are a busy time for everyone but especially for small business owners/entrepreneurs. In addition to everything else you’ve got going on: this is a great time of year to be connecting with your current clients and potential clients. Yup, that’s right.

Every parent hopes for the best for their child. Parents often spend the early childhood years working to encourage creative growth and create a learning environment. We read books, sing songs and play games. These education activities are vital to prepare students to enter schools. Unfortunately, many stop their parent involvement at this time, mistakenly believing that the school will take over their child’s formation. However, parents need to continue to take an active role in their children’s education into high school and beyond. Parents as Primary Educators
I adore the American actress Cameron Diaz. She dares to be ridiculously funny in ‘The Mask’, has men swooning over her in ‘There’s Something About Mary’, gets to kick butt in ‘Charlie’s Angels’, and is not shy in admitting that she can’t sing in ‘My Best Friend’s Wedding’. She smiles readily, laughs infectiously, and is ‘on’ about life. What’s there not to like about her? Recently she upped the antenna with her quotes (in reverse order of my favourites): On staying young:
On one side, one can punish themselves, and on the other side, they can be punished by others. And while this is the case, it is often easier to see when one is punished by others. If one ends up being treated badly by someone, for instance, there is a strong chance that they will be looked upon as the victim. This is primarily because the point of focus is likely to be on what is taking place exte ally and what is taking place internally can then be overlooked.

"If you cannot be a poet, be the poem."~ David CarradinennAutumn in New England is a sensual experience. Wood-smokenfires fill the night sky with ghostly images. The air is scented with ready-to-pick apples and burning oak from hearth fires. Maple trees don their cloaks of red, orange and yellow for one last brilliant display of color. The honking of geese overhead signals that another season has passed. And, in the midst of all this beauty and decay, lie the seeds for next S
What's your retirement style? I've identified four different types of retiree - Activists, Individualists, Specialists and Traditionalists. Traditionalists want a traditional 'rest and relaxation', 'pottering about' type of retirement. They don't want to change the world, or even themselves. They don't particularly want to work part-time or get a retirement career or start a retirement business... They worked all their lives and they're done with work.
This confidence game isn't the same as the scam. This one applies to those who have been hunting with no results and are becoming discouraged. Rapidly. Let's go back to how most people search, because that's where the problem - or problems - are. Your cover letter neglects to tie you to the ad and your resume fails to entice. Or perhaps your cover letter sells and your resume is full of accomplishments, but you’re answering unrealistic ads. Or perhaps you’re targeting ads wisely, but being overly picky, forgetting that ads tell if you want to interview, not if you want to work there.

Consistency is something that I think most people desire as part of their lives. Though change brings the opportunity for new beginnings and renewal, the things that give us a "sameness" are comforting. This is especially true for children. The people and things that remain consistent and steady make children feel safe and secure. But the advent of a separation and divorce can shake that feeling of security for children. There are ways to minimize the emotional impact of change in your children's lives.

The battle within the self is between apathy and purpose. Apathy kills purpose. Purpose kills apathy. Apathy is a terrible and poor companion for life, business or romance.nnWhy anyone would choose it deliberately is ludicrous.

We very often have heard and come across the notion that zodiac signs are each classified under one of the four classic elements, which are earth, air, water and fire. Now the zodiac signs are twelve in number, while the classic elements are four.

Let's take a closer look at how the twelve zodiac signs are classified under each of the four classical elements. 1. Earth - Taurus, Virgo and Caprico
The masculine sees from above to below - the feminine from below to above. When God created the world, He did so with two minds, two states of consciousness. One mind sees from Above to Below - and so, all is insignificant before it. From Above to Below, there is no world, only One. From Below to Above, there is a world - a world to point to the Oneness Above…. The other mind sees from Below to Above - and so all of creation is G-dly to it. From Below to Above, there is a
As we age our brain changes and we have more memory lapses, fuzzy-thinking, and it gets harder to process what we learn. This could be due to a variety of reasons, such as stress, multi-tasking, sleep deprivation, or diabetes.

When I was a kid – all the way back in the 40’s and 50’s – the common saying was something like “Eat your food, because people in China are starving.” Even as an 8 year-old, I wasn’t sure that the over-cooked carrots growing cold on my plate in a suburb of Chicago could get half way around the world in time to do them any good. It was true, though, people around the world were starving. Sadly, they still are, even in our own country.
