Save Money on Gas

Okay -- I normally don't get interested in new companies because I'm so busy with what I'm involved in right now. But I did come across this new business model to save money on gas -- increase fuel efficiency, create less pollution, and save money. So I thought I'd share. I think gas prices are outrageous! Prices are getting worse and worse.

The company is a new MLM opportunity -- so if you love networking and want to save money on gas, this is a great thing. If you don't love networking but want to save money on gas -- then you're just like me. :-)

Anyway, check out the marketing website -- Save Money on Gas -- and learn how you can have better emissions on your car, get better gas mileage, save the environment, save money, and perhaps earn some money as well.

HoloSync - Learning to Meditate More Deeply

A good friend of mine has started using the HoloSync program from Centerpointe. She loves it and has noticed a big difference in herself and her ability to be more relaxed, sleep better and not let things bother her. I tried out the demo CD and it gave me a terrible headache, my body jerked during it in a few places (which was a little unnerving), and I felt nauseous afterwards. I haven't used it since -- partly because I didn't like how I felt after my first experience and partly because I'm a little skeptical.

I wonder what is in the CD which actually helps improve my life -- are there things programmed in there that I don't know about -- which will affect me in a negative way? I always wonder a little bit about the subconscious type products because unless I know the people who are making them personally, and trust them completely, I feel like I'm opening up myself to something I don't completely understand. I know they claim the CDs will help create new neural pathways in your brain, and help you to meditate deeply. I've read some bulletin boards about HoloSync and other people's positive experiences with them -- but would love to get some feedback from people who have had negative experiences. Just so I know that people aren't just being "brainwashed" and "programmed". I mean, nothing can work perfectly for everyone. I'd just like to hear both sides so I am not just reading marketing hype.

Do What Matters Most

"Anything worth doing is worth doing well should be altered to say, 'Many things are not worth doing at all, and many things are not worth doing well because they're not worth the time it takes to do them well.' Only a few things are worth the best energies that we have. The most important decisions we have to make every day is whether we are using our time to feed our souls, contribute to those around us in a meaningful ways, and live true to our deepest values."

This quote comes from a really great article about how we are always so busy, that we never really feel satisfied. It is something I've been dealing with myself lately -- having too much to do and feeling a level of stress that is not healthy. There are so many of us in the same situation -- so I wanted to share the article with you. Slowing Down to Do What Matters Most. Enjoy it!

Google Calendar

Google has recently launched a new web-based calendar service. Although it is still in beta, Google Calendar, has been discussed for over a year and has been in development for several months. Google Calendar integrates with Gmail and possibly will integrate with other Google products in the future. It has been announced that the Google Calendar will allow users to schedule events directly from their Gmail messages, and will also be able to send out email invitations, recieve event reminders and more.

I haven't used Google Calendar myself yet (I've been way too busy, and usually like to wait until a product is out of beta) but think it sounds like a good service. If any of you have used it, I'd love to get your feedback.

Web Hosting - Sharing Scrapbooks

Do you have great online digital scrapbooks? Do you want to be able to share them with family and friends? I think it's a great idea to be able to put your scrapbooks online -- for several reasons. First, if there is a disaster of some kind and your computer crashes, your house floods, or whatever -- if you have your scrapbooks and photos hosted somewhere besides your home -- you automatically have a backup copy.

Also, if your family members live far away -- hosting your own scrapbooking site can allow them to login to your site and view photos of your kids and your scrapbooking pages.

I've actually found a great hosting company and if you sign up now you get a free domain name with your hosting service. Anyway, there are lots of web hosting companies out there and I've tried many of them. But getting good service is one of the top selling points for me. Check them out by clicking on the link below.

Changing Attitudes

"The greatest revolution of our generation is the discovery that human beings, by changing the inner attitudes of their minds, can change the outer aspects of their lives." William James, a Harvard Psychologist

Listening

"Deep listening is miraculous for both listener and speaker. When someone receives us with open-hearted, non-judging, intensely interested listening, our spirits expand." - Sue Patton

Becoming Who We Are

"Certainly what we are is more important than what we have or what is said of us." -- Marvin J. Ashton (Ensign, May 1979, p. 68.)

When all is said and done, who we've become is who we've become. At the end of life, there can be no more excuses. What you have made of yourself is all there is left. Then the small bothers of today may not seem important. What will be important is your relationships and your inner self.

Finding Your Mission in Life

I just wanted to recommend a really great book this week -- called "How to Find Your Mission in Life" by Richard Nelson Bolles. He is the author of "What Color Is Your Parachute?"

This book is short, easy to read and well-written. It is a great reminder to find what you love to do -- and what makes you happy. If you're considering a career change, trying to decide what your major should be in college, or just want to be more fulfilled -- "How to Find Your Mission in Life" is a must-read!

Quote about Destiny

"Each one of us is the architect of his own fate, and he is unfortunate indeed who will try to build himself without the inspiration of God; without realizing that he grows from within, not from without." -- David O. McKay (CR, October 1963, p.7.)
