Worry

Posted by Brenda Farrar-Ejemai on February 14, 2009 at 1:32am

WORRYWorry is to feel or express great care and anxiety, to fret. To worry is to have something constantly on the mind and agonizing over it. It can give a sick feeling. It can also be expressed through speech and action. The mind is agitated and there are complaints, there is impatience and irritability. In other words, there is no peace.Sometimes worry can consume hours, days even weeks out of your life. You try to throw it off, but it clings like static. It clings like a tick on an unsuspecting animal.Then “What If” enters. When “What If” enters, peace leaves. You yearn for peace, but the “What Ifs” overpowers and takes control. It keeps a question on the mind. You’re constantly wondering, what if this, what if that. You want to stop worrying, but the mind seems to find comfort in it.Has worry every visited so strongly that when the situation was resolved, you were angry for worrying about it? You worried for hours, days, weeks or even years. It consumed your time and energy. All wasted. You had sleepless nights. You suffered muscle tension, and stress you didn’t need; and all for what? It was for no reason at all. The situation came and went without incident. Your “What Ifs” never manifested and your fears never materialized.You want to kick yourself for what worry put you through. You say within yourself, you’ll never do that again. But does it work?Before you know it, there’s worry knocking at your door. It’s pleading to be let in again. It wants to be your buddy, your companion, your friend.Worry takes up time, saps energy and replaces peaces. It leaves you with nothing in return. Nothing is gained. You are no better for it. You’re only left with less.WORRYWe can all do without a companion like that.Cast it down and cast it out.YOU DON’T NEED IT!Brenda Farrar-Ejemai©2005Author of: The Family in the Car, A Revelationwww.TheFamilyInTheCar.comwww.youtube.com/thefamilyinthecarISBN 978-1-58909-485-7

D' Luxe Book Review: Act Like a Lady, Think Like A Man

Posted by dluxelacewigs on February 14, 2009 at 1:00am

Steve Harvey, the host of the nationally syndicated Steve Harvey Morning Show, is never short on opinions when advising his female listeners on how to deal with men. Why? According to Steve it's because they're asking other women for advice when no one but another man can tell them how to find and keep a man. This inspired him to write his first book.Sometimes funny, sometimes direct, but always truthful, Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is a book you must read if you want to understand how men think when it comes to relationships.Wow, how I wish I had a book like this to read years ago. Judging by this book's first week sales numbers, it's not too late for many of us. List Price: $23. Available at http://www.amazon.com/ and other book retailers.

WE ALL NEED TO BE UPLIFTED EVERYDAY.......................

Posted by GLORIA NEWSOME on February 13, 2009 at 9:22pm

Discover your DREAM and learn how to achieve it by creating the life you want! Surround yourself with people and things that are going to be your destiny (future), not your past & with people who are doing what you dream of doing, by wanting and becoming successful you are accomplishing what you were created to do!Spend time with people who appreciate you whom have the "Welcoming Joy Attitude" for your time is truly limited, so don't waste it living someone else's life. Don't be trapped by living with the results of other people's thinking. Don't let the noise of other's opinions drown out your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition.People will treat you the way you treat yourself...So treat yourself like a KING/QUEEN everyday! Don’t miss out on a blessing because it isn't packaged the way you expect for God doesn't give you the people you want, He gives you the people you NEED! Never take life, love and friendships for granted, you never know what tomorrow holds for your attitude toward life determines life's attitude towards self, and the doors of opportunity don't open, they unlock......it is up to you to turn the knob for the privilege of a lifetime is being who YOU are! Attitude is a little thing that makes a big difference for it is your attitude, not your aptitude, that determines your altitude!For when your thoughts become words, your words become actions, your actions become habits, your habits become character, and your character becomes your destiny. Always remember and never forget for a moment that YOU are fearfully and wonderfully made and that you are Chosen, Created, Celebrated & Cherished and that to the world you may be just one person, but to one person you may be the world!This is my wish for you: Comfort on difficult days, smiles when sadness intrudes, rainbows to follow the clouds, laughter to kiss your lips, sunsets to warm your heart, hugs when spirits sag, beauty for your eyes to see, friendships to brighten your being, faith so that you can believe, confidence for when you doubt, courage to know yourself, patience to accept the truth, and true love to complete your life.Decide~Plan~Execute and be the difference you want to see in your life and know that you are not alone in your struggle for you have been given a gift of 86,400 seconds today...have you used one to say Thank You for your blessing? Be the Master of Your Own Destiny for you are not here by chance, but by God’s choosing. His hand formed you and made you the person you are. He compares you to no one else for you are one of a kind. You lack nothing that His grace can not give you. He has allowed you to be here at this time in history to fulfill His special purpose for this generation.Please remember to pass kindness onto all who may cross your path, be it family, friends, loved ones or strangers.....for you may not know just how much of a difference you can make in someone's life and everyone you meet is going through something. Encourage someone today with a promise to walk beside them through a difficult time, sometimes we all need a still voice in the whirlwind of life, a message of hope whispered by God or loved ones assuring us of a better tomorrow. Bestow smiles for a smile costs you nothing, but creates much with it's lasting effects. It enriches those who receive it, without impoverishing those who give it.My name may be unknown to you, but there’s something you should hear....that YOU my friend will be in my thoughts and prayers today and through out the year! I give Blessings to You and I wish you to know that your friendship are the blessings that binds our hearts together as ONE for a life-time and I am honored to call you friend, and as I am thinking of you I am asking Our Heavenly Father to hold you close and show you His love in a special way today and praying your day is filled with everything that will brings you Joy, Happiness, and Love!In the search for me, I discovered truth.In the search for truth, I discovered love.In the search for love, I discovered God.And in God, I have found EVERYTHING!Again Pass the Love and Kindness on!The Light and Spirit in Me recognizes the Light and Spirit in You!From My Heart Too Yours MzGloria

BLESSED; PROSPEROUS. PEACEFUL. PURPOSED. ..FINDING YOU...

Posted by Dyanner Brown on February 13, 2009 at 8:34pm

Earlier today.. a friend sent me a wonderful word on Ruth...'Finding Yourself'

She found herself working in a field belonging to Boaz.Ruth 2:3 NIVRuth's life was spiraling downward. Her husband died. She'd left her old home in Moab and wasn't accepted in her new one in Bethlehem. She was in survival mode, making the best of a bad deal by gleaning just enough to stay alive. Then God turned things around. The reapers began deliberately dropping handfuls of barley in her path. She started picking up undeserved blessings. Why? Because Boaz saw Ruth gleaning and told his workers, "leave them for her to pick up" (Ruth 2:16 NIV). Even though Boaz had never spoken directly to Ruth, she still received the blessing.

There's an important lesson here: You don't know what God has spoken over your life, but suddenly everything changes! Doors open, opportunities come, people you thought didn't notice you, or even like you, begin showing you favor. What's happening? Your steps are being ordered by the Lord (Psalm 37:23).When the Israelites came into the Promised Land God told them, I'm giving you "vineyards… you did not plant" (Deuteronomy 6:11 NKJV). God can put you in situations where others do the work and you get the benefit. And you don't even have to worry, or get jealous about somebody else getting what's yours, because nobody can glean it except you.

Ruth started out for one destination and 'found herself' in another. When Boaz called her name, she came from the background to a place of blessing in the foreground. Instead of working in a corner of the field, she ended up owning the field. When God moves, that's how quickly it can happen. So be ready!Bob Gass – The Word for Today – The VineDaily Bible Reading:Exodus 36-38, Matthew 9:27-38, Psalm 96, Proverbs 3:5-6

Thanks my dear freind and sister ,... so much for that!(You know who you are...)

How to Develop a Winning Tradeshow Marketing Plan - Part 1

Posted by Wyteria Jacobo on February 13, 2009 at 7:00pm

Ok, I'm going to cut right to the chase here.Your tradeshow marketing plan consists of three parts:Pre ShowAt the showAfter the ShowYour mission, should you choose to accept it, is to accomplish the following:Deliver the message to the target audienceMake your show presence memorable, measurable and under budgetBuild your brand.Let's begin with pre-show contact. Did you know that 75% of booth visits are planned in advance yet 75% of exhibitors do not participate in pre-show contact? That's money left on the table, folks! Consider the following statistics: attendees spend 6-8 hours on the floor. They average 16-25 exhibitor visits. This is where you start to become memorable.You can raise awareness of your upcoming show in a variety of ways. Some popular techniques include direct mail, room drops, website ads, email invitations, fax invitations, public relations, advertising, pre-show staff communications, and telemarketing. The following four tips will help you generate interest in your upcoming show:Mail postcard to pre-registered attendeesAdd your booth information to all email signaturesHave customer contact people talk it upPhone your top 10 clients with a special invitation and invite them to see a demonstration at your boothIf you want your staff to be busy engaging prospects and clients instead of twiddling their thumbs, offer your visitors an incentive to stop by your booth. Traffic will increase when a gift is promised at the booth. Traffic will increase when a companion gift is given at the booth. Include your company contact information on the gifts. 80% of exhibitors do not and this is a huge mistake!Your goals with the pre-show contact are similar to those of your complete marketing plan. You want to target your audience, deliver the message, invite them to your booth and build your brand.My next post will discuss booth layout and how to discourage freebie seekers.Wyteria Jacobo is a promotional marketing advisor for WLB Enterprises.

Alternative Job Fairs need you!

Posted by LaVerne Adekunle on February 13, 2009 at 3:57am

More than 37 million Americans live in poverty, and the vast majority of them are in line for extra help under the giant stimulus package coming out of Congress. Millions more could be kept from slipping into poverty by the economic lifeline.People who get food stamps — 30 million and growing — will get more. People drawing unemployment checks — 4.8 million and growing — would get an extra $25, and keep those checks coming longer. People who get Supplemental Security Income — 7 million poor Americans who are elderly, blind or disabled — would get one-time extra payments of $250.If we can just help 1 percent become self-sustaining that will be some help considering the very little the stimulus plan will do.SummaryMake A Difference Ministries is a not-for-profit humanitarian program that serves all of Johnson County, Cleburne TX. MADM goal is to help unemployed families in Johnson County and expand to help others nationally by soliciting, collecting, and packaging food for distribution through a network of service agencies and programs that serve our target population groups. Our services include food box programs, alternative job fairs, utility assistance, and a youth job shadowing program that provides opportunities for self-sufficiency activities for "at risk" youth.Unemployment rates continue to rise and now millions of families are without sustainable income. Our client base is low-mid income people, mainly families, who need emergency help to put food on the table. Nearly half of those served by the program are children. MADM facility where we store donated clothes for distribution will host our first alternative Job Fair. The program is, soliciting food donations, vendors, and door prizes. In addition, we are offering an alternative from traditional job fairs to bringing in net-workers, small business owners to mentors others how to use one’s skill or talent to make a living.Alternative Job Fairs provide the opportunity to connect face-to-face with recruiters who would appreciate training and mentoring prospects.Our services will improve the ability of families to care for children and achieve goals of self-sufficiency. MADM services, now, are a small investment in comparison to cost of ignoring the problem of unemployment, hunger, in the country and the influence it has on a number of health, mental health and crime issues.MissionThe mission of MADM is to help as many families as possible by soliciting, collecting, packaging food for distribution through a network of agencies and programs, as well as provide opportunities for self sufficiency. Our services include food box programs, alternative job fairs, and children's programs.ObjectivesThis new initiative is designed to create an Alternative Job Fair that will serve all of Johnson County, Cleburne TX and expand nationally. Our objectives are:• Effectively organize our first alternative job fair with a network of vendors, volunteers, as a pilot event before expansion.• Establish donation network of local growers, retailers, wholesalers, and processors in Johnson County and provide utility assistance.• Establish youth program that will employ "at risk" youth.• Collect over four million pounds of food the first year of operation. Increase collection amount by 20% each year.• Effectively distribute the food to low-income families that make up over 20% of Johnson County.• Acquire $500,000 of start-up funding through corporate, private charities and government financial support.• Raise an additional $100,000 in fundraising activity.Strategy and SummaryMADM will focus on establishing an effective system for organizing alternative job fairs, collection network with retailers, wholesalers, and processors. Another primary goal will be the creation of a youth program that will employ "at risk" youth. The program will also start a fundraising campaign with area retail markets, banks and credit unions in order to raise an additional $100,000.MADM will advertise its services to the target populations groups through the agencies that serve these groups on a daily basis.Marketing StrategyMADM program will focus on increasing its visibility in the community. Participating business and food retail stores will carry information about MADM and how programs like this one are helping the community. Award certificates will be distributed to businesses each year and the program will find additional methods to raise the profile of businesses that assist the program.Program brochures will be distributed by local social service programs and agencies that serve the target population groups. In addition, these programs and agencies will serve as advocates of using MADM in response to the need for emergency food.Fundraising StrategyMADM will immediately start a Fundraising campaign that will focus on using the local banks and credit unions to collect donations to help unemployed families. Typically, food drives are started in October and November. MADM will place donation bins in participating banks and credit union. In addition, customers in local retail food stores can donate money to MADM at the checkout stand at participating businesses.Vendors will pay a booth fee and various speakers will pay a registration fee to highlight their business and do presentations.

WHAT I DO?

Posted by Valencia Mackie on February 13, 2009 at 3:54am

I was recently asked about my endeavor, so I thought I would share with all. I am not an attorney, as I inform everyone before I speak on real estate, the information I provide is for informational purposes and laws vary from state to state that one should consult with their advisor for a particular situation as every situation is different. But over the years I have worked with attorneys and attorneys with me on behalf of the landlord on various legal matters pertaining to the tenant. Most of these cases worked out in the best interest of the landlord, because financially the tenant wasn't able to hire an attorney or just didn't have a clue.As for my knowledge of leases and the language...you have to know and understand what you are reading as a real estate manager, portofolio anaylst and real estate office manager...because you are consistently referring or reveiwing the lease on one issue or another. My experience and continuous work and training in this field has put me in a position to educate those that are without, on the concepts of leasing. I give tips as to what the tenant should look for before, during and after thier tenancy. It takes years of experience, a love of the business and most of all a concern for the tenant. I am licensed in real estate, have degree in business management and pursuing my RPA...I am a portfolio analyst currently for Fortune 500 companies (confidentiality purposes I can not disclose the names). Therefore, I read leases on a daily basis on behalf of my clients and have been reading leasing over the past 9+ years. Some think it is boring, but I love it. Have to have a love for what you do...God laid upon my heart to write the book to lay a foundation for the commercial tenant to build upon when doing business with a landlord or property management company. Also, God led me to the ning networks, blog talk radio and various other resources were I could promote awareness to the small to midsize commercial tenant of thier options and potential savings. Because I was clueless, I didn't know where to begin on this journey. God continues to open doors and I am going to step through them to do the work he has set before.We love our attorneys, but most of the leases I have read are poorly written and contain a lot of grey areas, especially when it come to the tenant and I am not the first to say. And sure I will not be the last. I am not putting all the blame on the attorneys for poorly written leases, because fault do lie with the landlord, the landlord originally have the lease written by an attorney for a particular tenant and then they use that lease as a standard lease for all tenants. Because most landlords are cheap (on a budget) and it costs money to have an attorney review a document. So, then the landlord gives it to their leasing agent who is supposely trained/hired to edit the lease on behalf of the landlord (on behalf of the landlord). Their focus is to get the lease signed, in and out. He is a sales man.So my mission is to inform, give a heads up through whatever means God directs.Valencia:-)Author & Commercial Tenant Consultant'10 Commandments for Dealing w/Landlords - What U the Commercial Tenant May Not Know?'www.EyeSpyManagement.netvalencia.mackie@EyeSpyManagement.net901.399.0967
