Dreaming, not screaming, helps your marriage

If you and your marriage partner are screaming at each other, you might want to consider seeking professional help and guidance from a marriage counsellor to heal your rifts. However, try this first: recapture the dream of what you first wanted this marriage to be. Talk or think about when you first met each other, and what attracted you to one another. Share some of your favourite romantic or intimate memories. Bring up some of those really special or thoughtful things your partner did for you. Tell them how much you loved and appreciated that time when he or she did …(fill in the blank)… for you. Thank them again for giving you that experience. The more you can recapture these memories and shared experiences, the more you can bring that beautiful loving energy back into the present to heal and provide energetic marriage help.

Let your desire inspire and excite you. With passion, you can renew your commitment to making this marriage wonderful.

Screwing, not stewing, helps marriages

Marriage help is needed when sexual relations have broken down and been replaced by argument and recrimination. Stop stewing over perceived slights and hurts. Take a deep breath and upgrade your soul with forgiveness. That means let it all go! Dump your toxicity. What you want is a committed marriage full of passion, romance and love. So now you are clear and specific on that you have clear targets to work towards. Start by loving yourself, getting in touch with the love and acceptance within. Do yourself and your partner the service of improving your health and fitness, taking an effort with your appearance, and putting your attention and intention into creating relationship magic. Start showing more affection and warmth to your partner. Melt that iceberg with genuine warmth, care and respect! And as soon as you can, get the intimacy, romance and passion going again between the sheets if you want some serious marriage help.

Flying, not crying, will help marriage

Moping around won’t fix a thing. Get up and get busy with your marriage. You want marriage help? It’s easy. Stop doing all the crappy things you’ve been doing and start doing things differently. Commit to creating a fantastic marriage and work at it. Experiment, try different things, follow your intuition — it resides in your heart.

Challenge yourself to bring about this revolution in your life and imagine it full of this vital passionate energy. Marriage help is yours to grab, so reach out and start the process as fast as you can. This is so important. Give your whole energy to this.

Truly creative ideas often seem very simple - once somebody has thought of them. But how do you get a truly creative idea? Here are some ways to generate your creativity:

• Put the problem into words. Clearly defining a problem is probably nine-tenths of its solution. Putting the problem into works is a discipline that clearly engages and focuses your left brain to find a creative solution. What are the problems? What are the conflicting demands? What, exactly, is the barrier that is keeping you from doing what you want to do?

• Write it down, and tell someone important to you. Don’t keep the problem floating around in your own brain. When you write, or when you tell the problem to another person, the words are encoded in your left brain in a logical, linear fashion.

• Approach the problem from all angles. Try many different approaches to describing the problem and describing the solution needed. Think about it from reasonable, logical, straightforward points of view. Think about it from unreasonable, backward, low probability points of view.

• Describe the solution. You don’t know what the solution is, but you know what it’s supposed to do. What does it look like? How does it work? Who will use it? How will it operate?

• Describe what you would do if there wasn’t a problem. What would your ideal solution be if barriers didn’t exist? If you could do anything you wanted to about this problem, what would you do?

• Come at it repeatedly. Work on it for awhile, then put it aside and work on something else. Come back to it the next day. For particularly complex and involved problems, purchase a notebook and write down your thoughts. Puts yourself to return to it often.

These points help your left brain to fully set up the problem and understand its dynamics. These are tasks the left brain does well. Your left brain can’t come up with creative insight, one that is not logical and linear. Until you fully engage your left brain and push it to work on solutions, your right brain can’t work on a problem very well.

Kids do what you do, not what you say. Cruel adults usually begin their patterns of abuse as children with brutality to animals. Parents have an opportunity to instill kind behavior in their children by teaching the importance of a respectful relationship with people, pets and the planet. Protection and kindness are learned behaviors that parents can pass down to their children and grandchildren. Here are a few basics that can help teach a young child to be kind.

1. Let Sleeping Birds Lie

We have all seen the photo of a young child running on the beach with a flock of birds startled into the air. “Wings of Hope” and the Collier Audubon society say, “Never force birds to fly. If you see birds on a beach, walk around them quietly. They are resting!” Tiptoe past the birds and tell your child the birds are sleeping. Act disappointed if you see other children disturbing the birds. Never disturb the baby turtle nests.

2. Kelly’s Habitat

Pick a far corner of your yard and let your child plant a native wildlife habitat. Select plants or trees that birds and butterflies build nests in or enjoy as food sources. Name the habitat after your child and encourage him or her to observe and record all the species they find in their habitat.

3. Communicate Your Special Love

Talk to your children about a dear pet that you had as a child and how important the animal was to you. Find an old photo of you and your pet to show that you cared deeply for a pet when you were their age. Reminisce and share the importance of your pet even though they are gone.

4. Safe or Dangerous

If you witness a young child treating an animal unkindly, take action to protect the animal immediately. However, rather than react violently yourself, speak in an exaggerated sad voice reassuring the animal that “Little Billy did not mean to hurt you and now he is very sorry and wants to treat you kindly.” Remember the child sees images of attacking animals in cartoons, storybooks and television. The child cannot judge the appropriate reaction to an animal without guidance from others. Toddlers have no ability to judge whether he or she should kill an animal or care for an animal. Expect children to be harsh with anything that frightens them and make the wrong decision about new situations. Give the child an opportunity to treat the animal gently one last time. If the child teases hurtfully or reacts violently to the animal again, put the child in time out for the number of minutes that matches their age. Deny the child access and opportunity to abuse the animal and supervise future interaction. Handling or caring for an animal is a privilege earned by good behavior.

5. Not Tested on Animals

Buy products and cosmetics free from cruel testing and blinding of animals. Be outspoken about why you are choosing one mascara over the other and donate your old fur coats to a wild animal conservancy to use as beds for orphaned wolf cubs and fox kits.

6. Death by Any Other Name

Remember that veal means infant cow, bacon is a pig and Thanksgiving dinner is a turkey. You can find organic milk from free roaming pasture-raised cows available even at Starbucks. Some people have chosen to eat vegetables rather than animals. You may always choose to eat meat but it is not really a steak, it is a cow.

7. Hemp, Cotton and Wool

The latest products – that require nothing “to die for,” easily replace your leather designer purse, matching shoes or mink collar. Buy your family’s clothing from companies that treat their workers humanely and boycott sweatshop products that use child labor and slave wages.

8. Discipline Means Teaching

Give ample affection and fun to your child. Teach them to follow sane simple rules but watch out that your well-meaning discipline never crosses over the line to child abuse. Millions of parents have raised children without spanking, hitting, swearing or shaming.

9. Mr. Rogers, Blue’s Clues and Sesame Street

Children learn kindness from watching adults. Turn off the ridiculous hypnotic violence in film and television. Advertisers care more about ratings than about protecting your child from visual scenes of abuse that he or she may never forget. A child’s psyche benefits from healthy programming for children and the absence of sadistic shows.

10. You Got the Whole Wide World in Your Hands

The Sierra Club recommends Energy star-rated light bulbs and sensors that turn lights on and off. Explain to your child about the planet’s threshold for pollution and the serious consequences human actions can have on the Earth.

Some choices may be difficult and take extra effort. Learning to be kind will make your child stronger in their character, ethics, morality and more certain about right and wrong when faced with difficult teenage decisions. Your self-esteem goes up when you do the right things and you become kind to yourself, too. Remember little faces are watching you. Your own behavior choices, not your words, will define kindness for your child.

Celebrity weddings
Come at quite a cost
Yet it’s love without which we’re lost
Love is precious and priceless
For the faint in heart precarious
True love is enduring and timeless
Love brings out of us our best
Whether you are rich or a pauper
Love cherishes and doesn’t drop her
Love seeks to give and not take
Lust selfishly many hearts does break
Love is sincere without guile, nor fake
Love delicately nourishes and protects
Love feels, forgives, and kindly forgets
Love is attentive and never neglects
Love keenly discerns and detects
When something is bothering you
When you need an encouraging word to
Uplift, impart hope, and resurrect you
Love overcomes when it feels overwhelmed
Love leads, but also shares the helm
Love is a concerted, cooperative effort
It’s not always a deluxe five-star resort
It’s not pretentious, nor does it purport
Requiring teamwork and patience
Self-control and long-suffering resilience
Love is the essence of relational brilliance
The foundation of trust, which rids hesitance
It arises bravely when needed any instance
Love perseveres with a fierce persistence
It doesn’t quit when it hits resistance
It is transparent and not defiant
Love is strong, though not self-sufficient
Love realizes what the heart needs
The intangible blessings beyond greeds
Marvelous beyond materialism
Though money makes life easier
To feed, clothe, and house her
To also provide her wants and dreams
Though not all things are as they seem
Some celebrity weddings go sour
As they suddenly turn on and devour
One another, en route to divorce court.
A wedding is far more than a ritz sport
Love is to be a secure citadel and fort
Wherein we can take shelter and comfort
Thus I wish all newlyweds a lifetime of love
An unbreakable bond with all they dream of
Plus unconditional love from God above.

Many people may not realize what their options are when trying to sell a condo that they purchased during a pre-construction sale. How would people know until now, when the buildings in Channelside, Harbor Island, and Downtown Tampa are all starting their closings. There’s no telling how many people invested in the big Real Estate boom, purchasing units expecting to make big bucks in the Tampa Real Estate Market.

We are now going to experience foreclosures and defaulting of contracts in the areas that became over saturated in condo construction. Our blogsite has been receiving hits over the past month with searches pertaining to “how to get out of a real estate contract” and “are condos good investments”. This suggests that people are trying to get out of their contracts, finding out they can’t, and then defaulting.

It was customary to put down 10% of a purchase price for a pre-construction project. So figure 300K on the low end=$30K. Are people really willing to loose that much money or will they take the chance that they can re-sell for a profit or break even?

Recently, my Real Estate partner Michelle Jordan was contacted by a former co-worker who is in such a position. He purchased a pre-construction condo in the Channelside area due to be completed sometime this year.

It was purchased for investment purposes and he was curious what his options were when it comes time to sell. This particular “new project” (which will have 392 units in it) still has 40 plus units for sale by the builder.

When he decides to sell, he will more than likely be competing directly with the builder and will have to price it competitively. This could mean selling it for less than his original purchase price. At this point, it’s possible he may be out the money he put down as well as the closing costs. He also has to keep in mind that all the other investor/owners who close on their units may be be putting theirs up for sale as well.

With at least a years worth of inventory and the influx of other new condos coming to the market, along with with a shortage of buyers to go around, owners will have to carefully weigh their options. Keep it and move in, sell or rent it. Either way, it’s more important than ever to consultant a professional.

Time to time, Google has been in news for launching new & exciting services. One such service offered by Google is; Froogle, which has eased the search of information about a wide range of products for online auction. Froogle has been made with an absolute focus on product search & online sale. It applies search technology of Google to hit upon information about various products, directing you to the list of shopping stores that sell the desired item.

Froogle engine offers various categories including Apparel & Accessories, Auto & Vehicles, Arts & Entertainment, Baby, Books, Music & Video, Food & Gourmet, Health & Personal Care, Computers, Electronics, Flowers, Home & Garden, Office, Sports & Outdoors, Toys & Games, etc. Search results display only one product per store, like Adwords ad in Google, in a thumbnail image of the product on the left side of web page with products name, price & description available on the right of thumbnail. Froogle highlights the products rather than the reviews or other related information about products. Its confined search technique has offered online customers to settle on products for their choice in minimum time.

How to Get listed

If you are a direct merchant and have an online store then you can get your products listed in Froogle by simply following two ways listed below to reach millions of potential customers online.

• First is, simply let the Google or Froogle crawler crawl your site & get the required information. This method is though found less effective.
• Second, the more popular & effective way is to submit a data feed directly to Froogle.

The second method is followed by creating an account with Froogle, where you need to submit the following details about you & your company by using the form available at http://services.google.com/froogle/merchant_email or simply by emailing the details at feeds-support@google.com; 1. Your contact information

2. Store Information

a. Name

b. URL

3. Product information

a. Numbers of products

b. Product Categories

4. Affiliate Information

The whole process from submitting the details & getting response to get listed in Froogle takes around 10-15 business days.

Froogle is Different

Unlike other online sale support search engines, Froogle doesn’t cost anything for price comparison of products of different stores. Moreover, it doesn’t accept any payment for products to show up first. Froogle service makes no commission on sales. Froogle can sort your search by relevance or by price. Search sorted by price can be ascending or descending. You can search any product within a price range, for example $10 - $20 only. Froogle allows you to get the things at lower prices by providing you “compare prices” option.

Google’s Help Center says, “Froogle’s search results will remain separate from Google Base. However, the Froogle Merchant Center is being replaced by the Google Base dashboard. Items submitted to Google Base which are appropriate for Froogle will be displayed both in Froogle and in Google Base search results.”

Pat Metheny, very talented Jazz artist has released his latest CD titled Metheny Mehldau Quartet and Wow! It’s good.

It’s a rare day indeed that I get a CD from an artist that I can truthfully say does not have a bad track in the bunch. I’m more than happy to announce that’s exactly what I must say about this one. There simply isn’t a bad one in the bunch. No fillers here at all.

Metheny Mehldau Quartet has a pleasantly varied, mix of 11 tracks that are very well written songs by this clearly gifted artist. Most of the songs display a lot of the kind emotion that makes for a really great listen. Seemingly drawing from what I can only imagine are his own real life experiences. At different points touching on the most real emotions of love, heartbreak, pain, failed relationships and unattainable romance. They’re all here.

Metheny possesses the characteristic of being able to bowl you over with his talent alone. The kind of artist I frankly just flat out enjoy listening to.

Listen to this CD and I believe you’ll find there’s not much to dis-like about it. The songs are inspired and the overall production is simply outstanding.

My SmoothLee Bonus Pick, and the one that got Sore [...as in "Stuck On REpeat"] is track 3, Fear And Trembling. It’s a great track!

Metheny Mehldau Quartet Release Notes:

When my mother finally made the decision to take that great posting as a Divisional
Head, I knew I was headed for trouble. Her office hours ran way beyond my normal
school hours. And additionally, I was privy to the countless discussions both of my parents had concerning ‘Honey, what do we do with the kids while you are working?’ Well, in the end, they struck gold - an educational program after the regular school day. Won’t that be completely perfect? Children are learning about new and different things all of the time while parents are happily nabbing greenbacks — thanks to after school programs.

And so, we went directly to another class, our after school program, directly after the normal school day ended. The brochure about the after school program stated that they would be ‘using fun activities and innovative teaching methods to fill the gap in your child’s understanding’. I suppose that they meant that the teacher would write down homework assignments and that we would spend our time dealing with this homework. At least, this is what did happen most of the time. Of course, we didn’t tell our parents about the situation. How could that help? They’d just sent us to another after school class doing the same thing.

I hated the after school classes. I was bored to tears or constantly falling asleep.
After so many hours at school who’d want to spend the entire afternoon
with the same books and stuck in school for even longer periods of time? But, as children, we had no real choice in these matters. This was particularly true when my parents were cleverly saying that mommy’s salary will help get us that brand new TV or that great new video game.
Lose some, win some, was my thought at the time.

In the end my sister rocked the proverbial boat. She decided
she had enough of studying and refused to go to the after school class.
That’s when my parents began to smell something funny.

Shortly after that, they enrolled my sister and I in a better program. This new program
was bigger, brighter and more enjoyable all around. We had some interesting games to partake in; we had access to a computer, too. Each of us got a chance to do something on the computer on a regular basis — this was at the point in time when PCs were coming into vogue.

In the end, we had a little bit of everything during our after school programs: Acting classes, speech, games and of course painting.

At this time, so many years later, when I need to take up a job and leave my
own child alone till I get back, I know how important these after school
programs are to my children — not only today, but into the future as well.
