The most successful companies draw business the same way. And those employees who zoom right to the top of their companies? Yep. You guessed it. Good networkers.

"Networking is critical," says Brandi Miller, a 39-year-old realtor and master networker. "It really helps to connect you to people in the community. You have that connection, and then you have that job potential, even if you're not looking right now."

And that's exactly the point of networking. Make contacts, exchange information and… Continue

What you do with your food purchases once you get back home is important. Improperly stored food can become wasted food. It can even make
you sick.

Fruits and Vegetables

It’s best to wait until you’re ready to eat fruits and veggies until right before you’re ready to eat them. Washed berries,especially, can spoil quickly.

I enjoy a good yard sale. It's amazing how on some Saturday mornings a big yard sale, especially where a whole community is having yard sales, will get me up early. Cleaning out my garage or pulling weeds in the garden rarely motivates me to rise early on a Saturday, but a yard sale ...



I enjoy it best when I stop by a yard sale and find a particular item of interest and as I reach out to pick up or touch the item the owner will say, " You know there's a story behind that ..." Do tell… Continue

Today, I let go of my past and allow my
memories to be healed.


As I learn to love and accept myself, I find it easier to forgive.



As I forgive and release, I am forgiven and released.



Forgiveness brings me freedom and lightness.



Forgiveness is a seed of happy and joyful life.

This morning I was reading from 1 Corinthians 13. Hear what verse 11 offers as a challenge: "When I was a child, I used to speak as a child, think as a child, reason as a child; when I became a man, I did away with childish things."

It is both concerning and frustrating to realize that during many conversations, private thoughts and decision making, I am still in the sandbox behaving as a child.

"Live creatively friends. If someone falls into sin, forgivingly restore him, saving your critical comments for yourself. You
might be needing forgiveness before the day's out. Stoop down and reach out to

those who are oppressed. Share their burdens and so complete Christ's law. If
