Thursday March 5, 2009. Last night I made the most awesome dinner.  I’d bought a package of brussels sprouts at the market earlier in the week and let myself lust after them for days.  Last night I decided enough was enough!  I  washed them and cut them each into quarters.  Not sliced like coins, rather I quartered them.  I heated a tsp of olive oil and a tsp of Earth Balance spread in a fry pan big enough to keep the sprouts in one layer.  When it’s hot, toss them in.

Thursday March 6, 2009.  The AOL news read under the photo:  Jorma Hogbacka celebrates his $12.24 million lottery win in Toronto in January. The semi-retired welder said he expected to win the lottery after a psychic said he would be rich one day. So did he win because the psychic saw it, or did he attract it because he expected it?

Last week I drove to Ocala and stopped to get gas on Highway 40 just east of I-95.  I never pay much attention to the price of gas, and locally just buy it where it’s on the way.  But being in an unfamiliar place, I was all eyes and ears, taking it all in.  I thought I remembered gas being over $3.00 a gallon not that long ago and yet here I was paying a dollar less than that per gallon.  I thought, “how cool is that!” Continue reading →

Wow, was yesterday a banner day for ad sales! I had written before dawn yesterday morning at Editing at the Source; Browsers; 13 Steps Back to Balance the below 13 steps.  Afterward, I did an experiment of reading them over and over to myself.  I took a break at the top of each hour to read them over again and contemplated how true I knew them to be.   At 12:55pm, the calls started coming in.  I got five ads from new advertisers.

If you think you HAVE to sell your gold for money right now, for gosh sakes don’t send it through the mail to someone you have no idea what they will pay you for it.   Take it to a legitimate dealer locally.  Know what the price of gold is today.  Right now it’s at $932 according to www.kitco.com/market.  Get informed to get the best deal.  Also, you might want to call your elderly friends and family and mention that to them also.  They may not know.  They may not keep up with anything other than what the tv tells them.  Help them to stay smart!  You, too.  Me, too.

Sunday March 1, 2009.   How do you think about the people around you?  How do you talk about family and acquaintances?  How do you talk to them? These were the questions I was asking myself when I had a couple of days of attracting weirdness from normally stable friends.  Anytime I write questions like that, I say “you” but I of course always mean “me”.  Because yes, it IS always all about me 🙂 Continue reading →

Tony Robbins Twittered yesterday: People are calling this an economic crisis, but it’s really a psychological crisis. Take control of your mind and find the way through.

If you wind up with a boring, miserable life because you listened to your mom, your dad, your teacher, your priest or some guy on TV telling you what to do, then you deserve it.   Frank Zappa
