Next year is but days away – what will YOU do?

Evie — Tue, 29 Dec 2009 17:21:46 +0000

Today’s post comes from guest writer Chuck Denk click here to visit his Facebook Profile

This coming year’s promise will only be fulfilled if we recognize that things will only get better if we are fully engaged in being part of the solution to make things better. We have to recognize that social justice is a necessary condition to have a flourishing market economy.

Capitalism without a Conscience leaves a market economy that has to be subsidized by the government in the form of welfare because we not only have far too many people who are unemployed. We have too many people who are underemployed or are amongst the working poor because they can’t get employment that provides a living wage.

Wall Street needs to start helping Main Street rather than just themselves. The Health Care Industry needs to recognize that their desire for profits causes needless illnesses and deaths. Corporate America needs to take classes on Civics and not just recognize that the US Constitution is the Law of the Land: “Government is of, by, and for the people,” not “Of, by, and for the Corporation” as far too many people associated with the upper echelons of Corporate America expect WE THE PEOPLE to believe and accept as the way it should be.

Generosity, not Greed, is what has made this country of ours the best it can be. As we approach the end of this holiday season, let us all remember that the Spirit of Christmas is Giving, not taking, and that the Spirit of Christmas should exist every day. Let us all give love and joy to others; not agony and despair. We need to be good neighbors that help a community thrive through cooperation. Competition should be for who can be the most helpful in making the community more than a sum of its parts, rather than who can be the richest leech in the neighborhood. In game-theoretic terms, we don’t have to play a zero-sum game where there has to be winners and losers. We can change the status quo to a new paradigm where all sides gain by balancing the needs of a market economy with social justice.

My heart is unconditionally full of compassion for my fellow citizens, that’s just the way I am.

The Amazing Treadmill Desk – Three Blogs in One Day

Evie — Sun, 06 Dec 2009 20:53:28 +0000

WOW!!! This is amazing! Today is day two of utilizing my “new” treadmill desk. The treadmill we’ve had for a while and had sadly become quite dusty but no more A shelf we bought at Ikea that was never put up – an old shelf from an old wall unit – no longer possessed and four phone books that have never ever been opened – created an AWESOME treadmill desk.

Official treadmill desks can run you upwards of four and FIVE THOUSAND dollars! I kid you not but why spend that kind of money if you do not need to? … LOL!!! … well, if you can afford it – spend away however for those who live a tad more frugally – there are tons of ways to create a treadmill desk of your very own. As more continue to flock to the Internet the long hours spent sitting WILL affect ones posterior. Although the Internet is an awesome conduit – it can reek havoc on ones health

So – what is my GoalBuzz in this? Outcomes I am after:

Fitness: Get weight back down to the 140ish range – NO higher than 148. To once again be comfortable in my own skin (not like an overstuffed chair )

Focus: By taking my long walks I am allowing the blessing of creativity to visit me easier … see it’s working already Gosh I smiley face a LOT … but oh well. And back to focus. With the focus I find colored vividly by endorphins I will create that which I am meant to, to assist others to do the same in the way they are meant to do so … clear as mud … right? ~f-o-c-u-s~

Websites and Writing: I have over 250 domain names (I will be letting about 100 drop – that will bring me down to the more manageable number of 250ish) While on my Walkation I will blog, work on websites, and other productive things

My goal starting out is to walk a minimum of three hours a day. Imagine if this took off and every one working with a computer, who was able to do so – walked while they were at the computer. Would this affect the productivity for the good or the bad? I’ve noticed I get a LOT more typos than if I were seated at my desk.

I am now at 7.5 miles for the day and i am less than 7 minutes away from three hours … had I not done this – what would I have done? Oh Boy though I am ready for a break and a shower

Say I am, Say I Am, Say I AM Wonderful, we ARE WonderFUL

Evie — Sun, 25 Oct 2009 01:08:11 +0000

I ran across a YouTube video … and WOW!!! awesome I wanted to ensure I do not lose contact with this video and the song – so what better way than to write a blog What a GREAT way to start a day.

Say I Am, Say I AM, Say I AM WONDERFUL It is by Gary Go and I say he is, I say he IS, I say he is WONDERFUL

You will need to go to YouTube to watch the video – click here and it will open in a new window as the embed feature has been disabled (but hey! it’s his and he wants his viewers to go to his YouTube page and see his other stuff as well, rate and leave comments … show your love )

Short, sweet and to the point.

When you see something you want to do – do not put it off, do it now. Today – NOT tomorrow. You know what you want to do. What is the plan to do it? What can be done NOW? DO IT … we are a miracle … but we each only have a finite amount of time to do what it is we are here to do.

Begin to accept you ARE wonderful, we are ALL wonderful – WE ARE A MIRACLE. Imagine when everyone understands how absolutely wonderful we all are … and then we begin to act like we ARE Wonderful and WE ARE MIRACLES … WOW!!!

Be happy? Be kings? Be blessed? Understand the power of our choice and what we choose?

We create in everything we do and do NOT. We affect and have an effect on everything we come into contact with every day. Embark on this journey and accept the fact that YES!!! YOU ARE WONDERFUL.

What is the potential when humanity begins to expand into how wonderful we are and begins to work together to build instead of against to destroy … WOW … it is with the Law of Attraction I set this magnetic course into action.

“Say, I am wonderful” resonates with awesome source vibrational energy. It brings a smile to my face just hearing the words silently inside my head …

And so it is, I share this video through this blog – please go, watch, rate and comment. As of the writing of this blog, the video has been watched 1,372,842 times. Will you make it 1,372,843 or will the number be even closer to 1,400,000? Do it today don’t wait for tomorrow. Do it today and then again tomorrow and the next day and the next and the next … do it until you know just how wonderful you are. Then go on to assist others to know how wonderful they are. You are a Miracle!

Thank You ~ From a Thankful World to a Thankful World and beyond.

Pandora – the way music will be heard in future?

Evie — Sat, 17 Oct 2009 20:45:22 +0000

Yesterday I became aware of a site called Pandora (no kick back, payment or affiliation of any kind for the link) Pandora began what they call a Music Genome Project (registered trademark) … About this same time we began a project at my place of work at the time (Intuit) and we called it the genome project.

The business end of our project goals was to get to the smallest particle of what made what happen when and where in the QuickBooks program. QuickBooks had grown very quickly and it had become a pieced together bit of wonder – but how did all the pieces work together? The team I had on this project were the BEST of the BEST! and they delved deeper than anyone thought they would be able to. They embarked into an unknown territory. Their focus was to uncover the genome of QuickBooks.

We went to Mountain View a few times to educate the programmers of the program about what the program THEY built did, why, and what happened IF … since I was on the management side (the *YOU CAN DO IT* motivating part) a lot of what my team did went right over my head, but I knew what they did made a HUGE difference in what happened going forward.

We knew what our goal was we carefully planned what to do and then we acted upon what we found. The potential was HUGE!

Unfortunately (in my view) the bottom line ruled the future and Intuit is where Intuit is now because of that … neither here, neither there – BUT …

The Genome projects of the year 2000 lay the ground work for the future – one of which is Pandora:

On January 6, 2000 a group of musicians and music-loving technologists came together with the idea of creating the most comprehensive analysis of music ever.

Together we set out to capture the essence of music at the most fundamental level. We ended up assembling literally hundreds of musical attributes or “genes” into a very large Music Genome. Taken together these genes capture the unique and magical musical identity of a song – everything from melody, harmony and rhythm, to instrumentation, orchestration, arrangement, lyrics, and of course the rich world of singing and vocal harmony. It’s not about what a band looks like, or what genre they supposedly belong to, or about who buys their records – it’s about what each individual song sounds like.

Since we started back in 2000, we’ve carefully listened to the songs of tens of thousands of different artists – ranging from popular to obscure – and analyzed the musical qualities of each song one attribute at a time. This work continues each and every day as we endeavor to include all the great new stuff coming out of studios, clubs and garages around the world.

It has been quite an adventure, you could say a little crazy – but now that we’ve created this extraordinary collection of music analysis, we think we can help be your guide as you explore your favorite parts of the music universe.

We hope you enjoy the journey.

Tim Westergren
Founder
The Music Genome Project

If we lived in Oakland California – I’d be banging on their door daily – I want to work for you! I want to work for you! I WILL work for you But since we don’t and moving to California is HIGHLY unlikely – this blog post will suffice for now. I have created three seperate stations so far and I am amazed – in awe – in wonderful WONDER as to what they have created.

It is my hope the project my team undertook in the year 2000 to map out the QuickBooks genome has rendered that product as useful and awesome as the one undertaken by Pandora.

Give it a listen – try it out and see what you think – I’d LOVE to hear your comments about this new media available to us all.

Thank You,

Evie

Famous For Fifteen Seconds

Evie — Tue, 13 Oct 2009 17:49:25 +0000

I just joined a fairly new website called Famous For Fifteen Seconds. The cost to be added into the rotation is $5.00 per month (every month one stays a member and in rotation). The actual time a subscribers image and URL are on at one time is 16 seconds so an image will be able to rotate around the clock and not just be shown at the particular time the subscriber signed up.

From the Terms and Conditions:

As the actual time for display will be 16 seconds this will ensure if all slots are filled that your image gets a time slot right round 24 hours so will be seen at some stage at each time of day all around the world.

Sixteen seconds times the number of TOTAL available slots is 25.6 hours.

The early adopters are able to get their image shown many more times than once per day, as the images (and subsequent URL’s) are being rotated continuously. As of the time of my subscription there are still 5,749 slots available. I feel that even once the rotation is full – having ones image and url the only thing someone sees on their screen for 15 seconds will be huge. Where as the Million Dollar Home Page is a static page ~ Famous For Fifteen Seconds is on a rotating basis … so (imho) the site will end up being much more sticky (meaning people will come back more often and stick around longer)

My current image is that of a red flower (for the BUZZ and the URL is of course Goal Buzz anything to get the buzz on our goals.

This was a subject I felt I must act on. What a way to begin to put my feet purposely on to the hot coals. This is a new venture I am excited about embarking on, as the focus truly does shift to goals and *getting things done* Another of my (very) major goals are my domain names and my domaining business … and I am very curious as to what the effect of famous For Fifteen Seconds will have.

Ideas are swirling on the potential of this venture and possible ideas that spring forth from this, like the seed burrowed into soil, given water and sunshine grows to the plant it is to be bearing the fruit it bears and then the seed burrows into the soil to start the cycle all over again…. I am grateful for the follow on Twitter that alerted me to this opportunity. After reading the FAQ on Famous For Fifteen Seconds, reading the T and C’s (terms and conditions) and asking some clarifying questions of Adrian, I knew it was time to plan and then act Talk about some magnetic marketing!!!

So it is I share this find with you. We truly do have so much to be thankful for in this world, as the Internet continues to shape and mold so many possibilities. As this site gains readers it will morph into a platform for all our members to utilize to assist in defining, setting, planning and then acting on our goals.

The hard part is waiting for my image and URL to go live as again from the Terms and Conditions:

Once you have ordered and the funds have cleared in my PayPal account, I will aim to get your image online within 24-48hrs (but please have patience if things kick off and loads of people order at the same time)

OK – I can do this

Will YOU take the 100 Day Challenge?

Evie — Mon, 21 Sep 2009 18:09:04 +0000

The other day while surfing the Internet (I hang ten like a PRO ) I ran across a site that points out there are only 100 Days left of the year 2009 on September 23rd. The website asked if I was ready for the 100 Day Challenge?

After signing up and scouring the site … I can excitedly say YES!!! Yes I am ready for the 100 Day Challenge. I am ready to be inconvenienced. I am ready to be pushed, poked, and prodded. I am READY

Check out the 100 Day Challenge and see if you are ready as well.

Stay tuned as I endeavor to grow exponentially and begin fresh and new to Be, Do, and Have all I know I am manifest to be, do, have and become. What will you choose? What potential have you not addressed? Are you ready to create YOUR Big BANG? If so, please join me in the 100 Day Challenge and we’ll see where we grow to

The video’s available just for pre-registering are AWESOME. My excitement level is high and I am looking forward to Wednesday September the 23rd, 2009. This has given me an exceptional push to get all the things I’ve been postponing DONE, so I will have a clean slate to work with on the 23rd.

Tonight is our monthly Home Owners Association (HOA) meeting, so that means the notes from tonight’s meeting will be written, published to our HOA website and sent out to the board for feedback earlier than expected … what a GREAT way to start.

Mini Monster Mixer at the Dirty Martini

Evie — Tue, 30 Jun 2009 23:25:32 +0000

Great Day All,

I look forward to tomorrows networking event at the Dirty Martini located in Clearwater on US 19. I’ve created a *pamphlet* mixed with my business card it is Awesome! Being that the event IS a mixer ~ perfect!

I keep playing with my proto-type pamphlet ~ it looks GREAT!!! I am really looking forward to this event. A gathering of people ready to network their talents and thus create successes for all involved {and beyond ~ the real joy to living ones passion}

First thing tomorrow I am off to Staples to have 100 (or so) copies made, and then back to the office to fold and staple them into my presentation packet. All I need then is a presentation pocket … hmmm … excited yes I be, for the future true I see, is it fate or is it luck? All I know is, I am AweStruck

Feeling waves of 60 day experiments coming *due* … but realizing the coming due is so much like Dorthy and her ability to get home any time she so chose to GO home. Follow the Yellow-Brick road was about following LIFE Live it, love it, laugh … LIFE

Ok ~ well, I guess I should put a semblance of order about the sites I listed in my pamphlet / networking tool.

Tomorrow, if all goes well, I will upload it as a template, so you may use it for your own endeavors.

Sincerely and Always,

Evie

Evie — Fri, 17 Apr 2009 04:57:51 +0000

December 31st, 2009 is a Full Moon. It is also a Blue Moon.

What does this mean? Many things or no thing … it IS all relative. Imagine an awesome wow-ly creative mind mixed with action … ya don’t need to “hit the jackpot” every time … just act. Choose. DO! Imagine some of the avenues of creations could be brought forth … and then … what of the awesomely WOW creative mind, but no action, no choice, no do hmmm … sounds like constipation to me

DRINK MORE WATER and Juice (?)

BlogZup!!! Perception IS Reality Even if never have you acted before – and even if this moment this NOW – Now – you yet do not act … you still have NOW

What would you do if there were NO limits to the wonders you could achieve?

What is something you could do now?

As you think of stuff – put it on the list. What is something you could do right now? Now? Next?

It is so very + very simple (not saying easy – just simple … LOL!!! it’s so simple is can sometimes be very difficult

Thank You,

Evie

PS: SOME Goals for 4/17/09 – Domainager.com – Walkation.com (that would be fantastic – FoodRecipesBlog.com (get that moved?)

Oh yea – and Master Mu awesome (-: Thank You

Snitches end in Ditches … until we STOP IT!

Evie — Wed, 08 Apr 2009 12:52:58 +0000

Choice ~ Choose ~ every moment in every breath of every day of our life WE CHOOSE.

So many of us feel as though we have no choice, so we close the door, turn off the light and day by day, moment by moment we die. This type death may take a very long time (50, 60, 90 + years) but CHOOSING to give YOUR choice away KILLS. Letting others make YOUR decisions is DEADLY!

http://www.tampabay.com/news/publicsafety/crime/article990535.ece This weekend – of CHILDREN MURDERED around the United States this little girl was murdered while she slept on the sofa in the living room of the home she lived.

From the article: “Even Paris’ family wanted to do their part, asking that her death not be avenged upon the families of the suspects — that the cycle of retaliation that took the life of the girl known as “Princess Paris” finally end.

“We don’t want any of their families to go through what we did,” LaShawn Crawford, the victim’s cousin, told a gathering of TV cameras. “It stops here.”"

STOP IT !!! Stop the Violence! STAND UP TO THOSE WHO DO NOT AGREE !!! My target is on. Open and glad heart knows justice WILL be done. Those who were present when Princess Paris returned home – KNOW who they are. Blood Suckers everywhere are imploding upon themselves.

Keep your eyes and heart open … follow the thankful breadcrumbs … they are gathering and we are blessed to be able to celebrate the lives of so many children we have lost this past week … do not let their leaving us go un-noticed. Make their short lives count.

Do What Is Right … If you know some thing but say no thing … YOU are as guilty as the one who pulled the trigger, wielded the knife, lifted the hand – or applied the tape … we ARE ALL accountable what we DO or do NOT.

Be Kings ~ Choice ~ Choose ~ Truly — either you ARE part of the solution OR part of the problem. Be Kings.

One of my 60 Day Experiments … blood suckers (no offense meant to medicinal leaches) imploding upon them selves quicker (before harming an other) … Gosh I’m evil *Evie the evil Evelyn*

LOL!!!! LAUGH OUT LOUD – Find your glad heart – and do what is right
