Stever Robbins wrote an excellent article about identifying why you made the choices you did this election and using that to improve your decision-making and overall way of thinking. Come back to it in 4 years and see which fears were warranted and which hopes were exceeded.

Here’s an interesting one.  My boss has challenged us all to take a page and see how high we can boost it in the search engines.  This post is my first step.  The page I am trying to boost is a page about all kinds of tours and attractions in Savannah, Georgia.  Our company, Trusted Tours and Attractions, is an online ticket seller and my page for this challenge is for the page where we sell Savannah discount tickets. If you are looking for a tour and would like some discount tickets then take a look.  We are in a bunch of cities around the US and may be able to show you a good time. Read the rest of this entry »

Today is Blog Action Day and the purpose is to get all bloggers to write about a topic to bring about change.  This year the topic is “Poverty”.

Poverty comes in many forms.  We can be poor and live in a nice house and have 2 cars and work 80 hours a week and owe every bank from here to Tuscon more than we will earn in a lifetime because we also have the boat, pool, golf club membership, etc.  We can be living modestly and have a medical emergency in the family that just about sinks us.  We can be part of a family that breaks up - something more common today than ever before.  We can give up on society and decide to live in a cardboard box.

Republicans are warmongers.
Bush lied and all our children are dying because of it.
He (President Bush) has set women’s rights and civil rights back 20 years.
Conspiracy theory!  That’s just like Republicans!

How do you view the blessings that come your way?  The boss comes in and asks you to step up to the next level to fill a hole left by a coworker.  Is it a good thing or not?  We always have opportunity to choose how we view things like this.  We can see it as extra work and more demands placed upon us or we can view it as a reward for doing well at our current level and a chance to shine.  We could end up as a failure or as a senior ‘whatever-we-are’ making more money and more intangible rewards. 

When something happens in your life which way will you choose to see it?  Your attitude will decide how well you do at that task.
