March 19, 2011: Hello my BP FAM, How you all doing? Well I have been really busy, but never to busy for you guys. My daughter has decided to leave the nest and move back to her old life. I will miss her and my baby girl granddaughter. So I guess I can get back to life as before. Have been working alot. My friends think I work to much, but money dont fall from the sky so I have to earn it. Im excited about some changes Im making to the business. I have found an experience buyer and that will take some of the pressure off of my work day. Then I can focus on the day to day operations. Success is mine, I can feel it!!!
Quote of the Day
"The key to realizing a dream is to focus not on success but on significance - and then even the small steps and little victories along your path with take on greater meaning."--Oprah Winfrey
January 13,2011 (update): WOW!! it is really 2011!!! It has beeen a minute since i have updated my life,so here we go. First my first Grandchild has finally arrived. And she is my precious jewel! She is doing very well. She is now 3 weeks old, and the doctor says that she is developmentally ahead by 3 months. She is already doing things at 3 weeks that a 3month old would be doing. Does that mean she will be trying to outsmart grandpa? Never!!! Grandpa is a G...
Anyway, trying to kickstart some life back into my business. I never give up. Failure is not an option. I just want to tell everyone that i miss talking to them. I know I have been reclusive, but for good reasons. I can only push forward towards my goals. I just need to rejuvenate the concepts, and things will be ok. I have faith..

Love 2.0
Tech Support: Yes Ma`am, how can I help you?
Customer: Well, after much consideration, I`ve decided to install Love. Can you guide me through the process?
Tech Support: Yes I can help you. Are you ready to proceed?
Customer: Well, I`m not very technical, but I think I`m ready.What doI do first?
Tech Support: The first step is to open your heart.Have you located your heart Ma`am?
Customer: Yes, but there are several other programs running now.Is it okay to install Love while they are running?
Tech Support: What programs are running Ma`am?
Customer: Let`s see, I have past-hurt, low self-esteem, grudge,and resentment running right now.
Tech Support: No problem, Love will gradually erase past-hurt from your current operating system. It may remain in your permanent memory, but it will no longer disrupt other programs. Love will eventually override low self-esteem with a module that fit`s own called high self-esteem. However, you have to completely turn off grudge and resentment. Those programs prevent Love from being properly installed. Can you turn those off Ma`am?
Customer: I don`t know how to turn them off. Can you tell me how?
Tech Support: With pleasure. Go to your start menu and invoke forgiveness. Do this as many times as necessary until grudge and forgiveness have completely erased.
Customer: Okay done, Love has started installing itself. Is that normal?
Tech Support: Yes, but remember that you have only the base program. You need to begin connecting to other hearts in order to get the upgrades.
Customer: Oops! I have an error message already that says, "error-program not run on external components.What should I do?
Tech Support: Don`t worry Ma`am, It means the Love program is set-up to run on internal hearts but has not yet been run on your heart. In non-technical terms, it means you have to Love yourself before you can Love others.
Customer: So what should I do?
Tech Support: Can you pull down self-acceptance; then click on the following files: Forgive-self; Realize your worth;Acknowledge your limitations.
Customer: OK, done.
Tech Support: Now copy them to the "My Heart" directory.The system will overwrite any conflicting files and beginpatching faulty programming. Also, you need to delete verbose self-criticism from all directories and empty your recycle bin to make sure it is completely gone and never comes back.
Customer: Got it. Hey!!! My Heart is filling up with newfiles. Smile is playing on my monitor and Peace and Contentment are copying themselves all over My Heart. Is this normal?
Tech Support: Sometimes. For others it takes a while, but eventually everything gets downloaded at the proper time. So Love isinstalled and running.One more thing before we hang-up. Love is Freeware. Be sure to give it and it`s various modules to everyone you meet. They will in turn share it with others and return some cool modules back to you.
Customer: I promise to do just that.By the way, what`s your name?
Tech Support: Just call me the Divine Cardiologist, also known as the Great Physician, or just "I AM." Most people feel all they need is an annual checkup to stay heart-healthy; but the manufacturer (ME) suggests a daily maintenance schedule for maximum Love efficiency. KEEP IN TOUCH!

REMEMBER WHEN...
Close your eyes.....And go back in time....
Before the Internet or the Mac,
Before semi automatics and crack, Before SEGA or Super Nintendo...
Way back...I`m talking about...
Hide and seek at dusk. The Dickie Dee man, Red light, green light,
The corner store...
Hopscotch,butterscotch,doubled utch, jacks,kickball, dodgeball, Mother May I? Red Rover and Roly Poly,
Hula Hoops, and running through the sprinkler. The smell of the sun and licking salty lips. Wax lips and mustaches,an ice cream cone on a warm summer night;Chocolate or vanilla or strawberry or maybe butter pecan.
Wait......
Watching Saturday Morning cartoons...short commercials, Fat
Albert, Road Runner, He-Man, The Three Stooges, and Bugs,
Or staying up for Gunsmoke...
When around the corner seemed far away, and going downtown seemed like going somewhere. A million mosquito bites.Sticky fingers.Cops andRobbers, Cowboys and Indians, Zorro.Climbing trees, building igloos out of snow banks,walking to school, no matter what the weather.
Running till you were out of breath.
Laughing so hard that your stomach hurt. Jumping on the bed. Pillow fights, Spinning around, getting dizzy and falling down was cause for giggles.
Being tired from playing, Remember that?
The worst embarrassment was being picked last for a team. War was a card game.Water balloons were the ultimate weapon. Baseball cards in the spokes transformed any bike into a motorcycle. Eating Kool-aid powder.
I`m not finished just yet, Remember when...
There were two types of sneakers for girls and boys (Keds & PF Flyers)and the only time you wore them at school, was for "gym."
It wasn`t odd to have two or three "best" friends. When nobody owned a purebred dog. When a quarter was a decent allowance, and another quarter was a miracle.
When you`d reach into a muddy gutter for a penny. When nearly everyone`s mom was at home when the kids got there. It was magic when dad would "remove" his thumb.
When it was considered a great privilege to be taken out to dinner at a real restaurant with your parents. When girls neither dated nor kissed until late high school, if then. When any parent could discipline any kid, or feed him or use him to carry groceries,and nobody, not even the kid, thought a thing of it.When they threatened to keep kids back a grade if they failed ..and did! When being sent to the principal`s office was nothing compared to the fate that awaited a misbehaving student at home.
Basically, we were in fear for our lives but it wasn`t because of
drive-by shootings, drugs, gangs, etc.Our parents and grandparents were a much bigger threat! and some of usare still afraid of them!!!
Didn`t that feel good.. just to go back and say, Yeah, I remember that!
Remember when............
Decisions were made by going "eeny-meeny-miney-mo.&quo t; Mistakes were corrected by simply exclaiming, "do over!" "Race issues" meant arguing about who ran the fastest. Money issues were handled by whoever was the banker in "Monopoly."
The worst thing you could catch from the opposite sex was cooties.
It was unbelievable that dodgeball wasn`t an Olympic event. Having a weaponin school, meant being caught with a slingshot. Nobody was prettier than Mom. Scrapes and bruises were kissed and made better.
Taking drugs meant orange-flavored chewable aspirin. Ice cream was considered a basic food group. Getting a foot of snow was a dream come true. Abilities were discovered because of a "double-dog-dare." Older siblings were the worst tormentors, but also the fiercest protectors. If you can remember most or all of these, then you have LIVED!
Pass this on to anyone who may need a break from their "grownup" life...
I DOUBLE DOG DARE YA!!!
