We all have a choice in life, we can choose to complain about the hand that life has dealt us, or, we can choose to make the most of our personal experiences. I have committed myself to live a &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;happy life&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt;...I have chosen to live a life with purpose. I have made up my mind that whatever I do, I will do it, with passion.&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;You may have heard the saying, “A man is known, not by what he says but by what he does” and so I would like to share with you some of my life’s passions.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdgBMe5tWofMstD4tiJFVuqR0ATGQMO33nYlVRMQ6TFB9o19Ff_Lv8wisUBN6ZcMuuR7YPIvE8pUrwOBMIb3BvtOYpDl-ajmxqzbZZ3l3I3TMQSG6BCCoeH1kVKpMeeGk93SI2V7FjesU/s1600/DSCF2014.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEgdgBMe5tWofMstD4tiJFVuqR0ATGQMO33nYlVRMQ6TFB9o19Ff_Lv8wisUBN6ZcMuuR7YPIvE8pUrwOBMIb3BvtOYpDl-ajmxqzbZZ3l3I3TMQSG6BCCoeH1kVKpMeeGk93SI2V7FjesU/s200/DSCF2014.JPG&quot; width=&quot;144&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;1) When I was a teenager growing up in the United Kingdom I set myself a lifelong ambition; to visit every country in the world all 195 of them! &lt;i&gt;&lt;b&gt;I love to travel.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/i&gt; &amp;nbsp;So far I have been to 17 countries.

I’ve lived in 4 countries, Trinidad &amp;amp; Tobago, the country of my birth, United Kingdom, Guyana and now in the USA. I have been fortunate enough to go on two Caribbean cruises in the past 12 months.

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;3) &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;I love creating things with my hands&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, being a self-taught carpenter I’ve built 4 built-in closets, and numerous small construction projects around my home. I became a telecommunications technician while living and finishing school in the UK because I wanted to use my hands. 10 years later, In 1984 I started a leather handicraft business and worked together with my wife building that business for 12 years. Two months ago I built a workshop to start making leather products again on a part-time basis and also to paint when so inspired. &amp;nbsp;Samples of the unique handcrafted creations and one-of-a-kind, personalized designs that &lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;i style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-style: normal;&quot;&gt;HarTech Artisans&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; makes can soon be found on &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.etsy.com/&quot;&gt;www.etsy.com&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;20% of all profits from this activity goes to The Light Of Pearl Foundation &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.lightofpearl.org/&quot;&gt;www.lightofpearl.org&lt;/a&gt;&amp;nbsp;a children’s cancer and education charity founded in memory of my Mom, Pearl Lucille Harvey, who passed away 12/23/1968. &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Kjaj6rCuXCmpsIKFMj7eOMp0rvbhyphenhyphenNpG7Hr-0nNphqFELe6URVoh033VYaejUAX6vCLE3JM2goxK-BDnM1mWrFgpzA-HmGycVoULfjure7JFU9YWAzskIiwmxnYaBH5YWtpDbrJ5_Qc/s1600/DSCF2004.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEg_Kjaj6rCuXCmpsIKFMj7eOMp0rvbhyphenhyphenNpG7Hr-0nNphqFELe6URVoh033VYaejUAX6vCLE3JM2goxK-BDnM1mWrFgpzA-HmGycVoULfjure7JFU9YWAzskIiwmxnYaBH5YWtpDbrJ5_Qc/s200/DSCF2004.JPG&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipZHN_bLLhHr-tQgJUZYpE5hnJRlcg_BmTmbU634uf6T7QxdwmBgsef5iSReBcet2qDc244EhQaXnqHCAAOFIgxrMWm61b7a3WfRBWjtFxAOXoTdTHXK8Iso3c3yO-wvuc-Rx-jCfH2Bs/s1600/DSCF2018.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;150&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEipZHN_bLLhHr-tQgJUZYpE5hnJRlcg_BmTmbU634uf6T7QxdwmBgsef5iSReBcet2qDc244EhQaXnqHCAAOFIgxrMWm61b7a3WfRBWjtFxAOXoTdTHXK8Iso3c3yO-wvuc-Rx-jCfH2Bs/s200/DSCF2018.JPG&quot; width=&quot;200&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;4) &lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;I love to run&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, not being very fast I moved up to longer and longer distances. Last month I completed my 14&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt; marathon and I have devoted all my running to raise funds for charity. I recently joined forces with a wonderful charity called Running on Love &lt;a href=&quot;http://www.active.com/donate/NJM2011/Team1JHarvey&quot;&gt;http://www.active.com/donate/NJM2011/Team1JHarvey&lt;/a&gt; to raise funds for the Light of Pearl Foundation…. My long term goal is to run at least one marathon each year for the next 25 years.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;5) And finally through my experience with Toastmasters, I have grown to love public speaking.&amp;nbsp; As part of my purposeful living I have chosen to devote myself to speaking to inspire. In sharing my life experience it is my hope that others are inspired, not just to float through life but to make waves.&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9SlTVNyu6aDtl9YkECuA7J2Q3jiyhpCA3uuQK-3ODakjzHTnLDQimHR2beyTk9Cuu2rLth7u0qmhFQRNJOGc51MchK53gpvF_8K89A9pdkcV78ZzkA74rg9yZ9sN9fZZvVYdHzHFwi1Y/s1600/DSCF2007.JPG&quot; imageanchor=&quot;1&quot; style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;img border=&quot;0&quot; height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9SlTVNyu6aDtl9YkECuA7J2Q3jiyhpCA3uuQK-3ODakjzHTnLDQimHR2beyTk9Cuu2rLth7u0qmhFQRNJOGc51MchK53gpvF_8K89A9pdkcV78ZzkA74rg9yZ9sN9fZZvVYdHzHFwi1Y/s200/DSCF2007.JPG&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;i&gt;What are you passionate about?&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &amp;nbsp;Don’t keep it to yourself, share it!&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;text-align: justify;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;All I have done, all I have yet to accomplish, can be encapsulated in this statement of pure gratitude by John Bradford; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;b style=&quot;mso-bidi-font-weight: normal;&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 14pt;&quot;&gt;“There but for the grace of God go I.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp; &lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;separator&quot; style=&quot;clear: both; text-align: center;&quot;&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span lang=&quot;EN&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial; font-size: 12pt;&quot;&gt;Mr. Toastmaster.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://peacewarrior-theone-leggedblogger.blogspot.com/feeds/84989186080368783/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://peacewarrior-theone-leggedblogger.blogspot.com/2010/12/things-im-passionate-about-speech.html#comment-form' title='1 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8917647568044389071/posts/default/84989186080368783'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/8917647568044389071/posts/default/84989186080368783'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://peacewarrior-theone-leggedblogger.blogspot.com/2010/12/things-im-passionate-about-speech.html' title='Things I’m Passionate About - Speech'/><author><name>PeaceWarrior</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/06882071961958433797</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='32' height='24' src='//blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEh31VBtNpA96pqWUnFfU3j5RhADQUW09-dJKPynrrC4B0gXIfYqyfsUaiIyPgnauFN1Toc4hzknv1qg4k_QcibKdtCw9wE1wRpCav3MiCGDzXgNrZ4t80yeY7Mlmps4hg/s220/DSCF2304.JPG'/></author><media:thumbnail xmlns:media="http://search.yahoo.com/mrss/" url="https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/img/b/R29vZ2xl/AVvXsEj9uDewRKOvDPwsT-5LphyduxIhTKpfQJSgQfRUQuZLOaaWSbW5obH3iM5FdUt4NY1il5zFcueS-Te6-X5YdFfgdG4ztF1OeWTUx90NnfJAwxUqfOIbyCPzTA7pGjnhyZNgtU8hDiYaOVk/s72-c/DSCF2012.JPG" height="72" width="72"/><thr:total>1</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8917647568044389071.post-1103386492080024966</id><published>2010-12-09T06:12:00.000-08:00</published><updated>2010-12-09T06:12:19.787-08:00</updated><title type='text'>Things I&#39;m Passionate About.</title><content type='html'>Visited UMDNJ Toastmasters in Newark NJ after a 6 month absence and gave a speech on passion.

Four days after my 53rd birthday I ran my 14th marathon, the SunTrust Richmond Marathon in Virginia. My &#39;baby&#39; daughter always complained that she has not been able to see me run a marathon and be there to support me; so I decided to select a marathon based on where she was. You see, my &#39;baby&#39; is now a sophomore at University of Richmond, Va. I heard a lot of good things about this marathon from ERC members who have (most of them) PRd in this race.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;So I was eagerly looking forward to having a good time. Which is &amp;nbsp;in itself unusual for me because I normally take just getting to the finish line of a marathon very seriously. If you ever saw my face during a 26.2 mile run, you&#39;d think I was a Supreme Court Judge about to pass sentence on some&amp;nbsp;deviant! I leave my celebrating to &amp;nbsp;a few days after I cross the finish line, when I regain feeling in my legs!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;This time I tried something new...a friend invited me to a party that very Saturday night in Newark and I said I&#39;d be there to support the launching of her non-profit organization. It meant driving the 5-6hrs back to NJ immediately after the race and being on my feet for the evening - unheard of in the past!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;I&#39;m fond of telling people that being able to run a marathon is all in the head, just tell yourself you can do it, then go do it! So I told myself I can recover in time to go party!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;It was a perfect day for running. I got to downtown Richmond around 7am with my support crew, Faye and daughter Andrea and was able to park for $3.00 in a 4-story parking lot just one block from the start line! (I love smaller marathons). The temperature was around 48 degrees but warmed up quickly to about 55-60 degrees as the sun came up. The start was very well organized with the 8k, half-marathon and marathon starting right on time with 30 minute intervals. I met fellow ERC Tracey Keller at the start and we agreed to run together as we had similar end-time goals. I said I would be sooo happy if I could break 4 1/2 hours. (my previous time was 4:53 at Philly last year). For the first time in a marathon I was forced to stop and use the porter john....at 2 1/2 miles! And I have not seen Tracey since! I had to stop again at mile 9.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;For the first 13 miles I was chatting with any and everyone, stopping on the first of two bridges to take pictures and singing at the top of my voice to one of my favorite songs by Peter Tosh&#39; playing by a roadside DJ, &#39;Get Up Stand Up, stand up for your rights&#39;. I felt great and was thoroughly enjoying myself. I crossed the half-way at 2:09. When I hit mile 20 with no cramps at all (a major problem for me in the previous two marathons) I said to myself &quot;save some for the finish John, so far, so good&quot;. I crossed mile 24, at 4:00 and felt good. I thought the best part of the race was the last 400 yds...it was all down hill! I was able to lift up my head and lift up my chest and lift up my knees, and pump my fists sprinting to the finish passing at least 20 people!!! &amp;nbsp;My Garmin watch said 4:25 I thought &quot;Awesome&quot; and It felt good. Official time was 4:29:47 due to my two pit stops and partying along the route.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;Oh yes I made it to the party that night in Newark NJ at 8:45pm. Goals met!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Georgia;&quot;&gt;p.s. I was also very inspired by a runner I met Dana Casanave, who was running her 45th marathon this year! Her goal is to run 52 marathons in 52 weeks raising funds for orphaned children in South Africa. She also planned to run another marathon the very next day on Sunday 14th, in Pennsy&lt;span class=&quot;apple-style-span&quot;&gt;lvania. Read her blog at&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style=&quot;font-family: Arial;&quot;&gt;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.52beginnings.com/&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;http://www.52beginnings.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class=&quot;MsoNormal&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style=&quot;color: #343e6a; font-size: small;&quot;&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;This is due to a malfunction in the original prototype units code named Adam and Eve, resulting in the reproduction of the same defect in all subsequent units.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;This defect has been technically termed, &quot;Sub-sequential Internal Non-morality,&quot; or more commonly known as &quot;SIN&quot;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Some of the symptoms of this serious defect are:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Loss of direction&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Lack of peace and joy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Depression or confusion in the mental component&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Foul vocal emissions&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Selfish, violent behavior&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Amnesia of origin&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Fearfulness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Rebellion&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;/ol&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;To correct this&amp;nbsp;SIN&amp;nbsp;defect, the Manufacturer, Who is neither liable nor at fault for this defect, is providing factory authorized repair and service&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;FREE OF CHARGE&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;The Repair Technician,&amp;nbsp;Jesus, has most generously offered to bear the entire burden of the staggering cost of these repairs. &amp;nbsp;There is&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;no&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;additional fee required.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;The number to call for repair in all areas is:&amp;nbsp;P-R-A-Y-E-R. &amp;nbsp;Once connected, please upload your burden of&amp;nbsp;SIN&amp;nbsp;through the REPENTANCE procedure. &amp;nbsp;Next, download ATONEMENT from the Repair Technician,&amp;nbsp;Jesus, into the heart component.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;No matter how big or small the&amp;nbsp;SIN&amp;nbsp;defect is,&amp;nbsp;Jesus&amp;nbsp;will replace it with:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;ul&gt;&lt;ol&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Love&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Joy&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Peace&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Kindness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Goodness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Faithfulness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Gentleness&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Patience&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;li&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;color: black;&quot;&gt;Self-control&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/li&gt;

It was an easy and profound read. In fact with just 180 pages it was one of few books that I began and finished the same day. I&#39;m so proud of myself!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Mr. Emoto conducted many years of research on the unique properties of water. He&amp;nbsp;succeeded&amp;nbsp;only after many failed attempts to capture photographs of water crystals; as he says, it was his passion that fueled the team to keep trying. The thousands of&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;photographs of water crystals&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;that he was eventually able to obtain and record shows the effects we all have on water, not only what we drink but also the water that makes up 70% of the human body and what happens to that water as we interact with each other as well as&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;its ability to improve your health and your life.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Emoto&#39;s research has visually captured the structure of water at the moment of freezing and through high-speed photography he has shown the direct&amp;nbsp;consequences of destructive thoughts and the thoughts of love and appreciation on the formation of water crystals. The revelation that thoughts can influence water has profound implications for our health and the well-being of the planet.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Arial, Helvetica, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&quot;In 2005 the United Nations announced the start of the Decade of Water. It is our individual responsibility to learn all we can about water, the most&amp;nbsp;precious resource&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;on our planet, and to help shift the consciousness through our thoughts, through our words and prayers, and through our commitment to respect each other with love and gratitude. May our understanding of water help bring peace to all humankind.&quot; &lt;i&gt;Masaru Emoto.&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

One of the most valuable things anyone can give, is their time, and the rewards are immeasurable. The gift of our time today was well rewarded by seeing the effort and passion on the faces of the runners. Runners of all ages, from 5 years to over 70 years, as they crossed the finish line, the expression on their faces speaking volumes. Looks of sheer joy, determination, grit, relief, pain.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;img height=&quot;200&quot; src=&quot;http://sphotos.ak.fbcdn.net/hphotos-ak-snc4/hs424.snc4/46683_1495010787018_1586523815_31243297_7865510_n.jpg&quot; width=&quot;150&quot; /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: Georgia, &#39;Times New Roman&#39;, serif; line-height: 20px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-size: small;&quot;&gt;But mostly joy in&amp;nbsp;completing&amp;nbsp;a challenge they set for themselves.

However, following this worthwhile charity fundraising event we did relax at the New Community Corp. picnic. Another good cause, to raise funds for education scholarships. With my foot properly elevated this time, we were able to enjoy a perfect 80 degree sunny day under the shade with good friends and reminisce. &amp;nbsp;It got me to think of the enlightening words of the great&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;Kahlil Gibran, &lt;/i&gt;whom I call a &#39;poet for the Soul&#39; It is his words on reason and passion that follow enjoy:&lt;/div&gt;&lt;table align=&quot;center&quot; cellpadding=&quot;0&quot; cellspacing=&quot;0&quot; class=&quot;tr-caption-container&quot; style=&quot;float: left; margin-right: 1em; text-align: left;&quot;&gt;&lt;tbody&gt;

&lt;/tbody&gt;&lt;/table&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Would that I could be the peacemaker in your soul, that I might turn the discord and the rivalry of your elements into oneness and melody.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;But how shall I, unless you yourselves be also the peacemakers, nay, the lovers of all your elements?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Your reason and your passion are the rudder and the sails of your seafaring soul. If either your sails or your rudder be broken, you can but toss and drift, or else be held at a standstill in mid-seas.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;For reason, ruling alone, is a force confining; and passion, unattended, is a flame that burns to its own destruction.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Therefore let your soul exalt your reason to the height of passion, that it may sing;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;And let it direct your passion with reason, that your passion may live through its own daily resurrection, and like the phoenix rise above its own ashes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;I would have you consider your judgment and your appetite even as you would two loved guests in your house.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Surely you would not honour one guest above the other; for he who is more mindful of one loses the love and the faith of both.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;Among the hills, when you sit in the cool shade of the white poplars, sharing the peace and serenity of distant fields and meadows -- then let your heart say in silence, &quot;God rests in reason.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;And when the storm comes, and the mighty wind shakes the forest, and thunder and lightning proclaim the majesty of the sky -- then let your heart say in awe, &quot;God moves in passion.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;And since you are a breath in God&#39;s sphere, and a leaf in God&#39;s forest, you too should rest in reason and move in passion.&quot;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style=&quot;margin-bottom: 0px; margin-left: 0px; margin-right: 0px; margin-top: 0px;&quot;&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: georgia; font-size: 14px;&quot;&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

This had people all along the east coast, including here in New Jersey, breathing a sigh of relief. It has been almost 200 years since a major storm has hit NJ. See&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.hurricaneville.com/1821_hurricane.htm&quot;&gt;http://www.hurricaneville.com/1821_hurricane.htm&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
But those of you who know me, also know that&#39;s not how I do things. I insist on finishing what I start, and the more challenging the better. That&#39;s why I run marathons. And as a friend of mine Molly, who roasted me in a recent Toastmasters (&lt;a href=&quot;http://www.toastmasters83.org/&quot;&gt;http://www.toastmasters83.org/&lt;/a&gt;)&amp;nbsp;speech contest said, &quot;Be careful, if you sit next to John in a meeting, his enthusiasm is highly contagious&quot; So if you&#39;re doing anything,&amp;nbsp;start with passion, end with passion, it&#39;s the only way.&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;1) to lose 10lbs over 3 months and&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;2) to run a 5K race in 24 minutes or less. This would have been a 90 second improvement on my previous best time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;There was no sudden impact, fall or strain that brought on the swelling, I awoke one morning and there it was, this melon on my knee! So what did I do? I had set myself a goal to run faster and lose weight, what was I to do with a melon on one leg, the additional water weight and lots of pain? I&#39;ll tell you what I did. I waited a few days for the swelling to go down, then ran in the cross-country 5K series in&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Boonton&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;NJ&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Hey my goals are important to me!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Jumping forward in time and four 5K races later, an MRI done on my leg revealed a torn meniscus that needed attention.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Well my knee surgery to repair a torn meniscus is behind me now (as of 11:00am this morning when I got home). It went well, I don&#39;t need crutches thank goodness, but my left leg now feels like a piece of 4x4 wood attached to my hip! &amp;nbsp;And I have to rely on my&amp;nbsp;chauffeur&amp;nbsp;(aka my wife Faye) to drive me to Verona on Labor Day. I hope I can be there to help in my Essex Running Club&#39;s annual 5K fundraiser, in whatever way I can! I don&#39;t plan to, in any way, resemble a couch potato!&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;The Suntrust Richmond Marathon is on Nov 11, 2010 and I plan to be at the start line for my 12th marathon... Although I have settled into my favorite chair with foot atop multiple cushions placed on the coffee table. I&#39;ll keep the time watching TV down to approx one hour/day (0 hours so far!) I&#39;ve got 3 books lined up to read and of course there&#39;s always relationship building on Facebook and blogging! What do you think? I know I am blessed.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;This brace on my leg will slow me down for 14 days, but it certainly won&#39;t stop me. There are just so many things that will keep me busy. I&#39;ve talked about blogging for over a year, now it is time to blog!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;So I&#39;m counting my blessings not my cares, since I cannot bend my left leg and have to keep it elevated, I can start my new passion - on one leg.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;I&#39;ll be writing about things I am passionate about and we can see where we coincide. I made a list today. Please join me in this journey of passion.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Btw the goals I set for the&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span class=&quot;Apple-style-span&quot; style=&quot;font-family: &#39;lucida grande&#39;, tahoma, verdana, arial, sans-serif;&quot;&gt;Game-On Challenge? I&#39;m proud to say that I lost 10.8lbs and hit 24 minutes 11seconds for my 5K woo-hoo! The overall team results will be released next week and my team-mates &amp;amp; I are looking well positioned to win! Of course I&#39;ll keep you informed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
