American Idol

Angela — Fri, 05 Mar 2010 01:31:04 +0000

Ok, what is going on with the American Idol judges? They are all over the place with the feedback they give the contestants. First they say, “change it up, make it your own!” then when the Idol does that, they say, “don’t change it so much, just sing the song! We want to hear your voice.” [...] Related posts:

Most of you know how I feel about forwarded emails, however, when I got this one I felt I should share it here. Blue Fridays. Very soon, you will see a great many people wearing blue every Friday. The reason? Americans who support our troops used to be called the ’silent majority’ We are no longer silent, [...] No related posts.

The Dark Side of Things

Angela — Tue, 02 Mar 2010 23:56:45 +0000

Like most people, I made plenty of mistakes raising my three children. Now that they are grown men, they find entertainment in teasing me about some of my weird parenting moves. For example, when the boys were teenagers I had what they thought was a weird rule – they weren’t allowed to talk on the [...] Related posts:

Are Christians still mean?

Angela — Mon, 01 Mar 2010 10:10:00 +0000

Several months ago I wrote a post about Google Suggest. That’s where you begin typing in a search term and Google drops down a menu of probable terms you may be looking for based on the popularity of searches on that topic. In my post I mentioned that if you type in the words, “Why [...] Related posts:

Recurring thoughts, recurring thoughts, recurring thoughts,

Angela — Sat, 27 Feb 2010 12:37:56 +0000

I’ve written quite a bit about the importance of choosing correct, truthful, and positive thoughts rather than what most people normally allow to run through their head. But it’s much more than simply suppressing the unwanted thoughts and replacing them with good ones. In fact, doing so may do more harm than good. Mental health [...] Related posts:

Have you ever had to work with someone who had a bad attitude about their work? They didn’t like their boss, they didn’t like their job, and in fact, they didn’t seem to like their life. How did it affect their work? How did it affect your job? More importantly, how did it affect your [...] Related posts:

Practicing What I Preach

Angela — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 17:37:07 +0000

Yesterday, shortly after I wrote the post about dealing with negative emotions, I was presented with the opportunity to practice what I preach. Come to think of it, that happens a lot! You’d think I would learn to only write about easy things…but I’m a sucker for a good learning opportunity. Anyway, just a few hours [...] Related posts:

Self Confidence VS Cockiness

Angela — Fri, 19 Feb 2010 00:27:56 +0000

I learned an important lesson many years ago from an unexpected source – Hollywood! I recall looking at the photo of a particularly famous woman who was considered by most to be incredibly sexy. I had never questioned whether or not she was sexy; I just went with the flow. But on this particular day, [...] Related posts:
