Many people are not aware that Melanoma is very dangerous and comes from over exposure to the sun in your early years. A friend shared this vidoe with me from You tube, that is one I’d like to pass on to all teens and sun love.

Another year has passed!  It’s officially 2012!    I believe each year goes by quicker and quicker.  Last year,   blinked and it was gone!

Not only had another YEAR PASSED, it’s already almost the end of the first month of the new year.  WOW,  Bink, it’s gone.

I want to wish all of you a HAPPY & SAFE New Year.   I know they say we’ll be gone this year when the calendar runs out,  but they said that also when we changed from 1999, into the year 2000.  I’m still here and if you’re reading this you’re here too.

I saw some folks on a TV a few weeks ago when we were out to eat.  They were building secret homes underground to survive when the calendar ends, and holing up with tons of “safe” powdered food.    The homes they were building had no windows and  huge safe like locks from the inside so that no one left could come in and steal their food.

ALl I could think about was If I had to live like that,  i’d just as soon go with the rest of the people on into the next life.  Wh would want to be locked up with 3 or 4 family members underground for the rest of their lives.  NOT ME.

I’m going on living day by day, and let the good Lord take care of timing the end of the world.

May 2012 be the best year of your life.   Don’t let the doomsday people worry you. If it’s to be, we’ll  all go together.

What do you think of the word change?    Whether you love or hate change, it’s enivitable.   Life changes, people change and the world changes.

If you want to succeed in anything, you have to be able to adapt to change.  You may work for a company that changes the way they do business.  You may end up laid off and have to adjust to looking for a job, only to find your job market dried up.   You may have to change and learn a new skill.

You may be in business for yourself.  The world may change and you either learn to change with it our you could be out of business fast.   Markets change all the time.

Think back a bit.  It wasn’t that long ago that we all had 33 and 45 records.  They progressed to albums, and then to tapes. Today they are CD’s,  but even CD’s are changing into dowloadable albums for your IPADs.

Car’s used to be simple. Today they have changed to where your cell phone comes in on your radio.  My new car has even an IPAD plug in it.    Times are changing and revolving.

If you learn to accept and embrace change, you will be happier and healthier.   Step out in front of the changes and think of new ideas, better thean the last and leade the way into the future.    If you don’t someone else will.

Well,  looks like we survied another year.

It’s officially 2012!  We’ve all survived the first few weeks.

According to the Myan calendar,  this is the LAST year .  Do you really believe that?   Are we really In the final year?  I think it just gives people something to talk about.

There are all sorts of theories floating around.  One of  the latest theories to pop up is also one of the oldest: the Mayan calendar prediction which  pinpoints the final day on Earth as Dec. 21, 2012.   Scientists argue that the reference on the 1,300-year-old stone tablet marks only the end of a cycle — not the world — ever since the tablet was discovered in the 1960s, conspiracy theorists have wondered otherwise.

I for one  truly believe that NO man can predict the day or hour the world as we know it will end.  The bible gives clear signs of the “season” but also states that no man can know the exact time, date or hour that our Lord will come again.  It also says that we will rule and reign on this very earth for 1,000 years after the return of Christ.

So which do you believe?  The mayan calendar or the bible?

Myself, I chose to keep on living each day, day by day and not trying to predict or figure out the future.  It will happen in perfect time.    Enjoy your days on earth and don’t worry about the future.

Have a wonderful 2012 and beyond!

As you read this, I’ll be headed out to Salt Lake City, Utah.   Depending when you’re reading this, I may have already arrived.  Isn’t technology great?

I’m so excited to be seeing all my old friends, making new friends and learning what 2012 has in store for us all!

This year will be one of signifcant changes and improvements.  I’m looking forward to working with many new people and helping them achieve their goals and dreams!   Together we can all make a difference in the world, one person at a time.

If I can help you in any way,  I’m only a phone call or email away!   May all your dreams come true in 2012.

Is there a time in your life where you really feel like NOT doing anything?   IF you’re building a business do you ever feel bogged down, bored, or just plain lazy?   If so what do you do to get out of that “FUNK”?  How do you motivate yourself?

I’ve found this happens to people all the time.  They just get sidetracked or let life get in the way.   What I’ve found myself,  is when I don’t feel like doing any thing,  I force myself to get busy doing something.  The more I make myself do something other than sit around,  the better I feel.

So if you’re in a funk,  just get up, and pick the one thing you don’t want to do most, and tackle it right then.   Try it.  It works.    You will accomplish more and get those dreaded tasks out of the way and actually feel good.

Hope to see you at the top?

Hope everyone had a wonderful Christmas and got to spend time with family and friends. Hard to believe another Christmas has passed already.

I also hope today there are many new MAC users, and lots of new MACS were under the Christmas trees. I’m sold on Apple.

I guess you could say I’m a total Apple convert. For about 10 years, my friends with Apples, were forever telling me to get a MAC. I thought about it, even went to the Apple store to look but always chickened out.

In the back of my mind, having had a PC for 10 + years, I thought the learning curve would be great. Finally one day, after fighting with my PC, I took it to a PC store, and found it had over 80 viruses. The was despite the fact that I ran a virus program religiously. I had enough and decided to go to the “dark” side.

Buying my very first MAC was quite an experience. The manual it came with was no bigger than 8 small pages. I brought it home and plugged it in and then wondered what to do. I called the Apple line to ask what next and they informed me that all I needed to do was check for software upgrades, run them and I was good to go.

The hardest thing I had to learn was NOT to think so hard. If you think logically you can easily learn an Apple without jumping thru hoops. It was the best decision I ever made.

They say if you go MAC you’ll never go back, and I can vouch for that.

I just went on a trip to the Twin Cities of Minneapolis Minnesota.

On my flight, I used the Delta Internet on board.I was able to send some holiday cards, do some email, and work online. After landing, the next day I turned on my MAC and nothing happened. I had a white screen only and it would not boot.

I thought the hard drive must have crashed although, I didn’t think they did that often. I tried everything but the computer wouldn’t boot. On black Friday, I went online and made an appointment for the genius bar at Apple Store In the Mall Of America.

I arrived for the appointment, they checked me in on time even though it was Black Friday. I’ve found Apple to be quite amazing and well organized.

A very nice Apple genius started up my MAC and got that same blank screen. He then hit “command v” and started it up and it started. He said you can also do the same thing by hitting the shift key and the on button. It had a bunch of garbage written on the screen.

The technician gout out a portable hard drive and plugged it in. He rans some sort of test and restored things. It took about 15 minutes and the machine was good to go. I was amazed.

He also noticed that the top of my laptop had a little crack in it. He said if I wanted to, I could make an appointment at any Apple store and take it in for a few hours, and they would replace the top free, as all plastic tops and stuff are replaced for 5 years.

My laptop was 3 1/2 years old, yet the genuis was able to fix it. There was NO Charge. What an amazing company.

Now you know why I LOVE MACS! It took me years to try one and now I’d never go back.

Apple Rules.

IT’s the season to be jolly, and busy )

I’m very thankful I’ve got most all of my Christmas shopping done. My cards and gifts have been completed, and now I can relax the last week before Christmas.

How about you?

One thing I did notice this year, Black Friday started earlier than normal, with most stores opening at midnight. Crowds were crazy but more organized than normal. IF you’ve never experienced Black Friday I have a short vidoe clip of those shopping at Kohl’s in Apple Valley MN.

Outside of that day, I’ve not noticed stores being very crowded or many shoppers. Of course, I’m blessed to be able to shop while others are at work, so that may be why.

I want to wish all of you a Very Merry Christmas & Happy New Year.
