Catching up is Hard

Hi everyone.

Been away for quite a while this time! Well, I am back. Now for the good stuff!



The Dalai Lama has influenced my thoughts over the past couple of years. I am very glad that I have started to listen to him. I love the way he treats everything with respect. Everyone is equal in his eyes. Including the crazy people no one else likes.

I have been wondering about previous lives lately. I see places I know I have never been to in this life time, yet they are familiar places and I can remember features that I know exist there. One such place is in Massachusetts. I can remember barns and a house. I can no longer find the house, but I can remember the garden and the location so clearly. In this lifetime, I have never been to Massachusetts. It is a memory of a past lifetime I have lived. I remember being happy. I remember working hard on the land. I remember raising 8 children.

I remember another life in France. In the Eastern section of the country. I remember living a life of a servant for a lord. His home was palatial. I don't remember more than that.

I often wonder how many of these previous lives I have lived and where they were. I know I am a good mother which leads me to presume I have practiced it often. I love having children around me. Children bring out my youth again. And great fun is always to be had around them. That might be the spur which lead to teaching as a career in this lifetime.

I have enjoyed my teaching career very much. Made lots of good friends among my students. I have taught some of my first students children and, in one case, taught a student's grandchild too. It is wonderful to see the different generations as they follow each other in this ever-changing world.

Anyway, back to work. I am no longer doing internet marketing to any great degree. There are health reasons behind that change. The only company I am still involved with is Affordable Affiliates. It is making me money. I know the owner, Chris Bell. He is a really special person. In this business, he found a way to remain active in business, raise his children, and give a percentage back to his community through charitable donations. I chose the BC Foster Parents Association as my sponsored charity. In order to become part of this wonderful opportunity, you must choose a charity to give a percentage of your earnings too. It is a great requirement. I love the idea that it is all taken care of by the company too. Since being diagnosed with dementia, I would not want to forget this valuable part of my life. It is set up so that in the event I no longer remember what this company is doing for me, the giving keeps on going.

It is well worth checking out. It is great investment earnings, great donations to your favorite charity, and a great family feeling from management on down.

Check it out.

Yours truly,

Coach Elouise

Memories



I saw this video for the first time tonight. Sure brought back memories. I grew up in Vancouver. The city has always been a jewel and this video really shows that it still is even though the population has ballooned from that of a small city to that of a grand metropolis.

Now, I live in Chilliwack. It is growing like Vancouver did when I was a child. But it is not on the ocean, which makes the scenery very different. Only 60 miles apart, the cities are tied by belonging to the same valley. Other than that, they are both very diffent cities.

I still love Vancouver 60 years later and visit regularly. But, with the high traffic volumes there now, I no longer want to live there. I used to walk every day just to look at the mountains sitting to the north of the city. In winter, the snow-covered mountains looked like jewel encrusted crowns surrounding the City's perimeter. Protecting Vancouver from all the bad things to come.

The lights of the city are spectacular even when the ocean fog rolls in. No fog is thick enough to completely block them out. It is not for lack of trying though! When I was attending Simon Fraser University, I can remember many trips up and down Burnaby Mountain that were slow. I had to drive very slowly with my window down so I could follow the white line down the middle of the road. It was the only way to be sure I was still on the road. I missed a corner once and aimed my truck down until I was back on the road again. I only took out a few small trees though. You would not do that now, you would take out the condos!

I love memories.

I am going to watch the beautiful video again.

When did you find the Love in your Heart?



When I watched this video, I cried. Again. When I watch the news, I cry. Again. When I turn on the television, I cry. Again.

I have been on a spiritual search for love and kindness in the world. Instead, I find sorrow, sadness, misfortune, despair, loss, and more. It hurts my heart to see all the terrible things that have been happening. Wars, earthquakes, tsunamis, fires, landslides. Always something happening, and always people crying.

I found love and kindness with my friends, but not with strangers. Who will help those others? I can try, but if I think on it too much, I become discouraged and fearful. Again. Then I stop trying. Again.

We cannot quit. We cannot leave these things happen. We cannot forget the other people in this world. We must do what we can, small or large, to make our world a better place.

They tell us there is enough food for all. Why do some have too much and others too little? They tell us that 3/4 of the world is covered with water. Why do some people have lots, enough for swimming pools, fountains and more. Why do others have no safe drinking water? no crops? no water to give their animals.?

We send our young men out to fight battles. Some are important in our eyes, some are not. They come home in body bags and coffins, but still we send them. Why do we do that?







Now, with such a disastrous earthquake that has hit Haiti, we send men, women, and aid. The supplies are not getting to where they need to go. What is the reason that some people, even in times of need, greedily keep the supplies to themselves, or try to sell them for profits? How much of the supplies that we are sending are getting through to where they are needed?

Find the Love in your heart to help without judging. Find it in your heart to help without saying what's in it for me. Find the love in your heart for all mankind to offer help and support without expectations.

I found the love in my heart when I saw the pictures of the Afghan war. With the sight of soldiers dying. I found the love in my heart when I saw the pictures of the devastation in Thailand after that terrible Tsunami in 2006. I found the love in my heart when I saw the crumbling houses and streets in Haiti last week.

We all have that love within us, but it is up to us all to choose to show and use it for the good of others. We should never be selfish. If al we can do is provide a few blankets, then do it. If all we can do is send food, send it. If all we have to offer is small change, offer it. Large or small, any help is appreciated by those who realy need it.

We are here for a reason.



Having a happy life is easier than you might think. I have made the decision after listening to the Dali Lama that it is up to me to have a happy life. So How do I do that? I have been thinking on it and trying some new things to see what works.

First, I discussed this with my family. All of them agreed that looking outside myself for happiness is not the way to go. Happiness is always inside you. You can be in very happy situations and surrounded by very happy people and still not feel happy within yourself. Only you can change what you feel inside yourself.

Secondly, I spoke with my friends about this. For the past few weeks, the topic has come up in many conversations. The final conclusion does not change though. We have all come to an agreement. Happiness is something you can control. How is up to each person and situation, but it is under your own control. Where do I go from here?

I have been looking at my own thought patterns. What thoughts come to my mind and how I treat them. Upon realizing that not all my thoughts are positive in outlook, actually many are quite negative, it has become important to me and my happiness to learn to control them. It is much more difficult that I expected. I suppose the habits of 62 years of life on this earth in this lifetime has ingrained some negative ideas firmly enough to make them difficult to remove. Now comes the work.

Fortunately, I have some great friends who are helping me to learn this. I have found great resources here for learning. Check out this site! The amount of knowledge to be found there is huge!

Again

Just browsing around this morning and I checked a site I had not read in a while. On it I found some comments about Derik's case that I had not read before. I was especially intrigued by the new posts by Derik's fiancee, Jasminda. I know she could write, but was suprised by her eloquence in this one! Way to go Jasminda! Here is the blog if you would like to read what she says:

http://closer-look.blogspot.com/2007/01/derik-lords-long-wait-jan.html

It is extremely hard in Canada to get a wrongful convicton overturned. We may never be able to do that.

My biggest issue with the system of incarceration we have here is the lack of parole availability. Our Parole Board states over and over that he will not see the outside of a prison without confessing to the crime. That volates the Criminal Code of Canada, is against the National Parole Board's own policies, flies in the face of the agreements Canada has signed with other countries under the United Nations umbrella, and is just not fair.

Derik, because he has family and friends who support him, has been able to stay away from the bad things that happen in our prisons on a regular basis. For example, he has not started using drugs, which are so readily available inside our prisons. Other prisoners have told me drugs are not only more avalable, they are cheaper than on the street. Drugs are the biggest problem inside our prisons. Management tries many things to solve the issue, but the roadblocks set up by the Guard's Union keep the measures from being more effective. Sure searching visitors catches some of the drugs being brought in, but not searching the gym bags and other containers brought in by guards gives a large avenue of importation that is not being closed off.

The only way to stop that door is to remove guards from the front entrances and replace them with a different security force such as the Commissionaires. That way, union members are not searching other union members. It would close a very large portal for getting contraband into the prisons.

The lack of family support becomes more apparent when we attend social events in the prisons. I have been approached by many prisoners who have not seen any family members or friends since being incarcerated. There are many reasons for this, but from what I have seen, visiting is not encouraged by the system. Although they give mouth to a great policy and openness for visiting, in actual practice, it does not happen easily. My husband has not seen his son for nearly 3 years now because they do not like his words. He writes letters to upper anagement noting obvious, glaring errors in the functioning of the visitng process. Because he embarrasses them, he is not allowed to visit. Derik has even been told to shut his father up and he might get parole! What a farce!

I can't help everyone, but I have supported some men who finally were able to gain parole. All except one have stayed out because they had someone to talk to outside of the prison environment. Someone who could give advice, support ( not with money) and just be friendly. These men are doing fine now. workng, supporting themselves and in some cases, their families, participating in outreach activties in the prisons, and more. Many more helpful people are needed in order to reduce Canada's growing prison population. Our Federal Government and its policies make it a very hard place to be.

Tribal business concept



I have been learning about community marketing. It is not social marketing. It is not traditional marketing. It is a totally new concept that makes a world of difference in how and what you can market. http://chilliwackbc.cagora.com is my site in the Cagora community marketing world. I have just begun setting it up with content. Ads, especially for local business comes next, then whatever else I and my future partners can discover and add.

Watch it grow over time.

Community Marketing merges social networking with commerce. It's a brand new innovation that's a little like facebook,ebay,and wikipedia combined. The best of niche marketing coupled with real offline brick and mortar businesses.

I believe

Sometimes you cannot believe what you read, or hear, or even say! But there are things that you can always believe:

Here is my list, add to it if you like.


Things you should believe

A Birth Certificate shows we were born

A Death Certificate shows we died

Pictures show we lived!

Have a seat...Relax. ..And read this slowly.


I Believe...
Just because two people argue,
Doesn't mean they don't love each other.
And just because they don't argue,
Doesn't mean they do love each other.


I Believe....

We don't have to change friends if
We understand friends change.

I Believe....
No matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt
You every once in a while and you must forgive them for that.

I Believe...
True friendship continues to grow, even over
The longest distance. Same goes for true love.


I Believe...
You can do something in an instant
That will give you heartache for life.

I Believe...
it's taking me a long time
To become the person I want to be.

I Believe...
You should always leave loved ones with
Loving words. It may be the last time you see them.

I Believe...
You can keep going long after you think you can't.

I Believe...
We are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel.

I Believe...
Either you control your attitude or it controls you.

I Believe...
Heroes are the people who do what has to be done
When it needs to be done, regardless of consequences.

I Believe...
Money is a lousy way of keeping score.

I Believe...
My best friend and I can do anything or nothing

And have the best time.

I Believe...
Sometimes the people you expect to kick you
When you're down will be the ones to help you get back up.

I Believe...
Sometimes when I'm angry, I have the right to be angry,
But that doesn't give me the right to be cruel.

I Believe...
Maturity has more to do with what types of experiences you've had
And what you'v e learned from them, and less to do
With how many birthdays you've celebrated.

I Believe...
It isn't always enough to be forgiven by others;
Sometimes, you have to learn to forgive yourself..

I Believe...
No matter how bad your heart is broken,

The world doesn't stop for your grief.

I Believe...
Our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are,
But we are responsible for who we become.


I Believe...
You shouldn't be so eager to find
Out a secret. It could change your life forever.


I Believe...
Two people can look at the exact same
Thing and see something totally different..

I Believe...
Your life can be changed in a matter of
Hours by people who don't even know you.


I Believe...
Even when you think you have no more to give, when
A friend cries out to you - you will find the strength to help.


I Believe...
Credentials on the wall do not make you a decent human being.


I Believe...
The people you care about most in life are taken from you too soon.


I Believe.....
The happiest of people don't necessarily have the best of everything;
They just make the most of anything


And that is what I am trying so hard to do. I don't want everything in the world, just enough of what I need to be happy. I don't need much.

Message from a Friend

I received this poem from a friend today. She reminded me of the one flaw in women that can hold them back from higher achievements. When I read it I realized the truth. We were made to place everyone else above ourselves. In order to do really well in business, we have to develop our own sense of self worth, because without that, we will not progress.


One Flaw In Women

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.

They don't take "no" for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.
They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart..

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colors.

They'll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.

Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

I know I am worth a lot to my family and my friends, because they tell me that. I sometimes neglect to say that I am worth what I want too. That is changing for me today.

I think I have fixed the hacker issues on my computer.

Well, I think I have finally gotten all the bugs caused by the hacker fixed. Two attacks! persistent little devil.

note: my new Skype id that is now available for you all to contact me is coach_elouise. I tried to keep something close to what people are used to seeing on my sites. I sure hope none of you got any of the extremely rude messages the hacker was sending out for a couple of days. If you did, I apologize as they were not from the real me! I do not speak to people that way, especially friends.

Now we can get on with the rest of our lives.

This is an excerpt from an email I received today from one of my daughters. It really touched my soul.



To: YOU
Date: TODAY
From: GOD
Subject: YOURSELF
Reference: LIFE

This is God. Today I will be handling All of your problems for you. I do Not need your help. So, have a nice day.
I love you.


P.S. And, remember...
If life happens to deliver a situation to you that you cannot handle, do Not attempt to resolve it yourself! Kindly put it in the SFGTD (something for God to do) box. I will get to it in MY TIME. All situations will be resolved, but in My time, not yours.

Once the matter is placed into the box, do not hold onto it by worrying about it. Instead, focus on all the wonderful things that are present in your life now.


If you find yourself stuck in traffic, don't despair. There are people in this world for whom driving is an unheard of privilege.

Should you have a bad day at work; think of the man who has been out of work for years.

Should you despair over a relationship gone bad; think of the person who has never known what it's like to love and be loved in return.

Should you grieve the passing of another weekend; think of the woman in dire straits, working twelve hours a day, seven days a week to feed her children.

Should your car break down, leaving you miles away from assistance; think of the paraplegic who would love the opportunity to take that walk.

Should you notice a new gray hair in the mirror; think of the cancer patient in chemo who wishes she had hair to examine.

Should you find yourself at a loss and pondering what is life all about, asking what is my purpose? Be thankful. There are those who didn't live long enough to get the opportunity.

Should you find yourself the victim of other people's bitterness, ignorance, smallness or insecurities; remember, things could be worse. You could be one of them!

Should you decide to send this to a friend; Thank you. You may have touched their life in ways you will never know!
Now, you have a nice day...God


You won't get an actual email like this from God, but isn't it nice to know He is there to help? God is different for many people and faiths. He has many names in different parts of the world, but He is still the Creator and in touch with all of us.

Not everyone believes in God, but even if you don't believe it is comforting to know there is someone or something watching over us. I personally do believe in God, although I do not go to church. I feel him watching over and protecting me even when I do not pray.

If it is not God watching over me, then it must be some other great spirit. or the collective spirit of mankind. There are still so many things we do not know about the universe and our part in it. Let us keep the open mind we have searching for the truth and learning as much as we can.

Sharing is Natural.



Beautiful Scenes, Beautiful music, One can easily understand the sentiment without knowing the words. A good friend sent me the link for this beautiul piece.

I listened to the music and watched the pictures and felt a great peace come over me. It made all my problems seem small in the overall cosmic universe we all live in. I don't feel small, but now my problems do. I know I can make my problems go away if I want to. Truly inspiring.

The monetary issues are always there for me. I owe, I owe, so off to work I used to go. I don't do that any more. I work from my home. I love being able to go down to the creek and watch the geese, both the wild ones and the tame ones we own.

The geese have a lot to teach us. The wild ones have picked a quiet spot in our yard, along the creekbank, to have their babies and raise them. The tame ones accept the food we leave for them and lay eggs for us. They expect the food to be there. It is my choice to feed them or not. I choose to feed them because of the eggs I get in return. Even the wild geese accept the food, but they do not leave their eggs, they leave lessons in raising young.

Taking these lessons, I am changing the way I do internet marketing. It is not ok to push my businesses on to the whole world and say "Buy This Now!". That makes me greedy and forceful, but gets me nothing in return. I don't want to be a greedy, money grubber. I want to be helpful. I want to share. I want to inspire you to grow and succeed too.

Sunshine

Sunshine. I just love sunshine! Nothing makes me happier than sunshine.

So have I said it enough times? Sunshine has that ability to calm nerves, inspire action, cheer up the blues, and so much more. When I get up in the morning and the sun is shining, I have more motivation to get things accomplished. I can check my emails, respond to those that require one, and still feel like surfing. But then, the sun moves up a little more and all I want to do is go out there and walk in the warmth.

I have the freedom to do that because I have found a couple of very good opportunities to obtain multiple streams of income. Without those, I would not have the freedom to walk in the sunshine.

The one I like most is one that allows me to teach others as well as learn more myself. I love to learn and I really love to help others learn too. I love it when a plan comes together. With this program, or maybe I should call it a slate of programs, I have many choices.

This one is called Global Communications resources pages.

The other one is really a treasure, it allows me to share with everyone what I feel, what I want, and how to get to a better place.

John Ralston Saul

I went to listen to the annual multicultural lecture at the Chan Theatre at University of British Columbia last night. It was very interesting for me being a Canadian. My ancesters were among the very first to settle this great country. I always wondered why Canada's relations with its Aboriginal peoples was so much better than our neighbours.

Our neighbours and many other countries settled the same way treated Aboriginals like they were the interlopers. Aboriginals were pushed out of the way for immigrants to take the land and resources. Maybe not right away, but as soon as the European settlers became numerous enough to survive without help, they did so.

Canada's early settlers would not have survived their first winter without the help of the Aboriginal peoples in the area. That they did survive is a testiment to them, and a testiment to the Aboriginal peoples who taught them what was safe to eat, how to make a shelter from the cold, and so much more. Canada began right off the hop with a dialogue, a conversation with the native peoples.

John Saul talked abut all this, and especially how Canada has 3 legs that it stands on. The French, The English and Loyalists, and the Aboriginals. His main theme is that as long as all three legs remain strong, so will the country.

I agree with him for the most part, but I have noticed a decline in the conversation. I don't believe that the newest generations of immigrants to Canada are being properly included in the conversation. I am seeing a lot more influence to Canada's great culture by relatively large groups of other immigrants. There is no conversation between these new groups and the three founding legs. We are losing our special bond between all Canadians by leaving these groups out of the conversation.

Canada cannot take steps that will lead us to the types of rulings and laws that are enforced in other nations. We have to continue the conversations with all our groups included in order not to lose the orality of our nation. We must keep the conversations open and active. We must keep the conversations flowing.

Canada will not survive as we know and love it if we start only looking at written laws and rules. Our Aboriginals did not write laws, they negotiated them amongst the group. When my ancesters came to join this marvelous land, they tried to ring the written laws with them. They would write reports back to England and France, but not all was told in the written reports. The oral conversations were not reported. The far away masters thought they knew everything, but they did not. The ongoing conversations between the peoples involved led to a peaceful co-existence, There was no need for a large government to tell everyone what their jobs were. There was a great co-operation and working together for surviva of the peoples involved.

That is what we need to get back to. I don't mean fur trade, or anything like that, I mean we need to keep the conversations going and involving everyone to keep this country as stable as it has been all these hundreds of years.

To keep my conversations going, I use Skype and Message Magic.
Skype is free, Message Magic enhances it like you would not believe.

The Social Revolution.



I have found a new way to get a steady income from the internet and help others do it too. It is set up to also include charities in earning support monies.

Spreading the word about our exciting new style of website, where the people of the world earn real money for themselves or their favorite cause, learn new things, meet others, make a difference and pursue their hobbies and interests, all in the one spot.


It's going to be the first global network of 25,000+ Local and Special Interest Worlds: Each is a One Stop 'Authority Community' where the 'wisdom of the crowd' helps you find the products, services and information you want - without the sweat.


We're taking a 'Web 2.0' approach to build an alternative to the Search Engines and Social Networks, where people like you create the content, spread the word and share in the traffic and profits created.

The trouble with Snow

I should have known it was going to be a bad day when I left the house I had spent the night at, late for meeting up with prison staff, and with a new route to follow that I had not tried before, and discovered it was snowing!!
So far, every time it has snowed this winter, something has gone awry. This time I was concerned about my son’s parole hearing. That is where I was headed. Following the new route Steven had given me, I actually made it to the appointment with 30 seconds to spare. Despite the blowing snow and the winding twisty road I drove.
Made it safely, so now we wait. The prison staff put us upstairs in the main office building, in the board room, to wait. About a half hour later, Derik's IPO (internal parole officer) Marion Higgins, brought him upstairs to sit with us. We just had a general conversation in which Marion told us a bit of the history behind the place. William Head Institution had first been built as a quarantine area for new immigrants from the Orient. Many Chinese and Japanese immigrants did not make it out of there. Those who were or became ill and died are buried in a corner of the property that is maintained as a Canadian Heritage site by the Federal Government. I felt it would be very interesting to take a walk around there, but this was not the day.
The prison began as a minimum security camp with no fences, then became medium security wit a three roll barbed wire fence cutting it off from the rest of the penninsula. Now, it is a minimum again, but the fence is still there. Parole hearings are a regular occurrence as prisoners serving long sentences, like Derik, has the right to have one every 2 years once they reach a minimum length of time served. For Derik, that time was 10 years. He has now been in prison for 17 years, but has not gained any release yet. We were hoping for something this time, but not really expecting anything like full parole.
Because the prison is located on the tip of a penninsula, we walked down to the visiting room, where the hearing was being held, in the rain, not snow. The 3 members of the board were already seated. The assistant got the IPO from Derik's previous institution on the phone and then the members of the press (6) and the relatives of the victims (8) were brought in and seated behind us. We had to face the board, his current IPO sitting with us, and were not permitted to turn around to see the people being seated behind us. There was a significant distance between the groups to prevent any possibility of interaction. Derik had pointed out to the prison staff that one of the relatives had physically assaulted me at one of our many court appearances, so that was one reason for the caution, and the larger room than was normally used.
The hearing started as it usually did with the board members wanting to discuss his crime. That part was naturally short as Derik still maintains that he is innocent. Even after such a long time in prison, he will not make up a confession. He is maintaining his innocence while assuring his continued incarceration. The next part was longer. Going back to his childhood, they wanted to know if his father was controlling. One statement they questioned is that I have to call him before I leave the house. I explained later, when I had a chance to speak, that we both did that. In our opinion, it made sense that someone know where you are in case something happened. At the very least, it gives a starting point for a search should someone not make it home. We kept in close touch with each other and with our children for that reason. I am sure some people might call us controlling, but we always knew where our children were and when to expect them home.
The chairperson also appeared to fixate on the fact that, as a boy, he carried a pocket knife. Derik explained that based on his rural upbringing for the first 13 years of his life. Nearly every boy carried a pocket knife in a rural area. You never knew when you might want to whittle a sling shot fork, or cut some binder twine to save an animal's life, or any other emergency fix. I don't think that the city people really understood that.
Once they were done questioning Derik, then it was my turn to speak on his behalf. I tried to give an eloquent testimonial on his progress since going to prison, expecially in the past few years. Derik had ended the questioning telling them about the programs he took, the effort he made to understand his behaviour, the self help books he read and worked through, the issues he had identified on his own and worked through, and the relationship he had been building with his fiancee over the past 9 years. I did an overview of the incarceration as a ping pong type of relationship building. They would tease him with a program and then say he did not fit the profile and yank it away. This happened 14 times. Most times he was screened out because he already had the skills they were trying to teach. For a couple of them, he was screened out as not being violent enough, and not willing to confess to the crime for which he is innocent. Finally, they had to give him one. Ottawa had to override the requirements to get him in there, but Derik worked very hard at getting the most benefit from the program as he could. However, the Parole Board did not believe that it was enough. Following my input, 2 of the relatives read impact statements. One was a very emotional short statement about the love lost when one sister died. The other one was a rant. He told the board that Derik should get out only after he received training to get a job and had the conditions put on him to repay the costs of his imprisonment.
Then Derik had the last word.
We were all ushered out in the reverse order than being ushered in, once again to avoid any contact between the 2 groups of people. The waiting began again. Suddenly, the phone rang and we were once again being summoned to the meeting room. There we got the decision. Day parole denied. Full parole denied.
I requested direction from the board members, and the only response was to continue with making improvements like he had been most recently. Once again, we left, ushered out in groups. We had another half hour visit with Derik and his IPO while the relatives were leaving the grounds. It was a good unwinding session. Both of us were on the verge of tears, relief that it was over and release of the tension.
Stopping just past the prison property, we gane an interview to CBC and GlobalTV news, once again standing in the rain as it changed back into snow. Arriving at the climic where my daughter works, it was now hailing ferociously. And again, following a great dinner with my daughter and granddaughter, I was driving in a near blinding snow storm.
A 30 minute drive, a 60 minute wait, an hour and a half ferry ride, and I was on the highway home. Surprise! Another snow storm on this side too! Two hours of that messy highway driving and I was finally back home. Snow and ice the entire way!
It is now April 2. No longer April Fools Day. At 2 am the snow is stopping and turning again to rain. Thank God that Day is over!

Shopping is the new Drug?

http://tinyurl.com/c584sy

Researchers at Germany's Bonn University discovered
that spending money acts similar to a drug, because it
activates the brain's reward centers. Hence, spending
provides immediate, but short-term gratification and
will require continuous repetition of the same behavior
to maintain the high. Well, it's safe to say that these
classroom academics don't get out much, because I
could've told you that 5-years ago, when I began
marketing online, but let's get back to focus.

Now, the average average networker, entrepreneur and
RESELLER, also recognized that spending can be addictive
like a drug especially, when the customer is receiving great
value for the dollar. Successful business owners know and
understand the behavior of their customers, because they
have invested the time and money into developing a relationship
with them. After all, people only spend money continuously
with others they TRUST.

Now, our industry of Networtk Marketing is the art &
science of empowering, communicating and connecting with
others based upon their needs. Out of control spending with no
benefit for the money invested is definitely problematic and
requiring a cure or solution. Firstly, to solve a problem
you need to examine the MINDSET of the individual(s) experiencing the problem.

People with Millionaire Mindset maintain a thinking pattern
that seeks a solution to a problem. So, to overcome a problem,
one must change the way one thinks about it. Now, wealth-
generation requires a mindset that consists of finding the
solution so as to reverse the problem of “having more
money leaving your pockets than coming in”.

The solution I propose is simple and affordable. Firstly,
NEGATIVE SELF-TALK and THINKING goes out the
window, because a Millionaire Mindset believes success
is a matter of following a proven process of rules with
consistent effort and belief (sort of like a science for wealth-generation)
until success is achieved.

So, Let me introduce you to an online opportunity that provides
not only good sales values, but pays you to learn how to do it. How does that sound so far?

If you like that then, hold on, because there is more that
should appeal to your appetite for effective wealth-generation.
This opportunity is a set of businesses in one. First, it is an excellent training guide complete with step by step instructions, samples, how to's and much more. It is a complete business in a box with pre-written sales letters, ads, lists of plaes to place the ads, soe free, some not, and along with all that, ebooks that you can download free to learn even more. Also included in the low monthly fee is a complete set of splash pages and an autoresponder, lead collection and emailing capabilities. These ads, splash pages, autoresponder letters, etc. are completely adaptable to any other business you are already in.

Does generating UNLIMITED payouts motivate you to take action in a business where the monthly fee is $30 dollars? If yes, then, our compensation plan
is perfect for YOU. TAKE ACTION, NOW!!!!

Why Calling Something A Scam Is A Scam.

Mar 25
Why Calling Something A Scam Is A Scam.

This is a topic I have wanted to write about for many years but was worried I may “offend” some people. I no longer care. Over the last five years I have purchased about $100,000 worth of information online. I did this to stay ahead of the curve and improve my odds on being successful. In the last year I have started to notice that almost every author I buy from has someone calling them a “scam”. How is it possible that every known expert on the internet is a “scam”?

I started to do some research. I randomly picked some people who have affected my life in a positive way. I did a Google search on

Anthony Robbins- apparently he is a scam. He has only sold millions of books and helped untold amounts of people.

Donald Trump- Self made billionaire, tv show host, best selling author. Guess what also called a scam.

Oprah - Self made billionaire and super philanthropist. Also called a scam. Impossible you say? More like unbelievable.

Now just for fun I thought I would enter the search term Mother Theresa. There is no way that someone could call an icon, a person of such amazing levels of compassion, a saint, a scam is there? Wrong. There is actually a website that calls her a fraud and an evil person. That one blew my mind.

How could all these people and there businesses be a scam? The truth is….they aren’t. The true scammer is the person writing the article about them.

Now I am not saying that there aren’t illegal or illigitimate businesses out there. There are. But not anywhere close to as many as you think. At least 98% of people and businesses that are of accused being a scam are being improperly labeled. Here are the three reasons why calling something a scam is a scam.

1) People take zero responsibility for the decisions they make. Then they buy some information or start a business and when it doesn,t work for them they call it a scam. Did they do the research? Did they follow the instructions? Were they under capitalized? There are so many reasons why a person can fail and 99% of them are there fault.

2) They want to “ride the coat tails”. This means they have something they want to sell and they leverage the successful person’s traffic to get people to there website. If you ever see someone selling something right after they trash a person on there site then understand it is a marketing tactic. It has zero credibility.

3) Consumer protection-like sites. These are the biggest scammers out there. Most of owners cannot even be found for a reason. They are constantly being sued for slander but if you can’t find them you can’t sting them. They allow uneducated people to whine and complain about people and companies without verifying the validity of anything. You could even go on these sites as an employee of a company and randomly trash your competition….without anyone verifying the truth. So why do these sites exist? So the owners can sell advertising spots on there website. They are cockroaches. Plain and simple.

I hope this article gets passed around to millions of people. I want to educate everyone on how ridiculous things are getting. If you have a bad experience with something then ask yourself if you could have done something more.

Why?

Because that is how you learn. If you never take any responsibility for your failures then it makes it almost impossible to succeed. Look at the people who have the results you want and copy them. Don’t rip them down.

Don’t be a coward and call them a scam.

Aaron Parkinson

A friend passed this article on to me and asked to have it published. I agreed because it hits the spot. If someone does not like the way a person does business, calling him/her a scam artist is the quickest way to destroy someone's credibility. It is extremely hard to recover from such an accusation.
