Hi dear Parent,
In recognition and celebration of Halloween... BOO! :)
In recognition and celebration of being an American... VOTE!
That's all I wanted to say. Bye.
No, no, no, I'm kidding. Have you ever known me to be a woman of few words? I rest my case. :)
Before I begin, will you please share the address for this EP eJournal with your friends with families? It's time to grow again, and I need your help... again. Thank you very much.
By this time in the school year, parents and children are again used to the shlepping back and forth to school, practice, games, and activities. Routines for homework, mealtime, bedtime are in place. But here's the question: Have you found, carved, chopped out the most important time... Down Time, Family Time, Together Time?
You did so well during summer, taking time to play. Please, oh, please, no matter what, don't forget how important these Fun Times are to your family.
No, of course I'm not scolding. You're too old to scold, being a grown up person and all. I'm just encouraging... firmly. :) Yes, the mother in me lives!
I remember well, how challenging were all those routines. Five children in two or three schools, with two outside activities each, and don't you know, having raised individuals, rather than cookie cutter kids, they all, for the most part, chose different activities. Ah, the bane of doing it right, eh? But, oh, dear parent, you'll never regret the work, the joy, the pay off... well-rounded human persons! Even working fulltime, going to night school and being Little Mrs.Homemaker, I juggled all of it. I have confidence that you can do it, too.
And if you need to vent or have a confounding challenge, then you have me, right? Right! I'm always available for you, dear one. Always.
Write me at Empoweredparenting@earthlink.net
I started a new book yesterday. It's called THE GOLDEN BIRTHDAY BOOK. Back in 1998 when I began http://www.EmpoweredParent.com I wrote an article about the once-in-a-lifetime Golden Birthday.
Http://www.joanbramsch.com/parties/golden.shtml
Over the years folks have written to me from around the globe--New Zealand, South Africa, Germany, and many other countries and, of course, America--asking for my ideas for special Golden Birthday gifts and party ideas. I've always complied, so now I've decided it's time to write the book.
Because I've made this unique tribute known worldwide, I think I can also add a special bonus birthday celebration and that is The Second Chance Golden Birthday! This one is for all the Baby Boomers who might have missed out on their first Golden Birthday--the year they were the same age as the day of their birth; i.e., 17 years on the 17th. Their second chance at a Golden Birthday will be the one when they are the age of their birth year; i.e. Born in 1955, reaches the age of 55 years in 2010.
Hooray!!! Let the Celebrations begin. :)
I've lots to share with you today so either sit back and relax right now, or click back later. Just don't forget. I don't want you to miss a word.
Love,
Joan
P.s. If you've been wondering if there's any help for you as you strive to save for college and retirement at the same time, let me recommend an excellent COMPLIMENTARY newsletter called "Money and Markets." I've been following advice from Martin Weiss and Larry Edelson for decades. I have learned to be a good steward for my money. Go here to sign up: http://www.martinweiss.com/reg/2/index.asp?i=527756&t=2&sc=MA&ec=WEB
Also check the Strongest and Weakest Banks and Thrifts in America http://www.weissratings.com/HL_Bank.asp
P.p.s. I strive to live like this: Live in such a way that those who know you but don't know God, will come to know God because they know you.
P.p.p.s. My DAUGHTER PEGGY is creating a great income as an Independent Consultant and Area Manager for the Arbonne International Company. I use the products and all I do is keep getting younger! Feel free to contact her at swyden@cox.net for more information that could change your and your family's lives! Why not try Arbonne and be a part of this awesome company that offers pure, safe, and beneficial products? Check out their website at http://www.arbonne.com After a little over a year she's already driving her white Mercedes Benz! Not bad for my Middle Button Pegatha! :)
P.p.p.p.s. To honor All Hallowed Eve: http://www.broenink-art.nl/maukie2.swf Use your cursor. It's alive, it's alive! :)
=================
THIS AND THAT AND LOTS OF STUFF!
>>> TALLER MOMS MORE LIKELY TO HAVE TWINS and that's because taller people have more growth hormones to grow longer bones. This is also the hormone that increases the chance of additional eggs being discharged during ovulation. Who knew?
>>> I just joined THE INTENDERS OF THE HIGHEST GOOD. This is a group that means to change the negative vibes of this world to positive ones. We all need to help and I invite you to view their lovely slide show and decide for yourself. Just click on the Bridge Picture on the lower right of the page. It's a beautiful show. http://www.intenders.org/movie.cfm
>>> SCREAMING PHONE... Coming right up! Yup, they are going to stop cell phone theft or get hoarse trying. A new service launched Monday in the UK is designed to deter mobile phone theft by equipping telephones with an ear-piercing scream.The screaming won't stop unless the battery is removed. Even if the thief replaces the phone's SIM card, the handset will not work. The service costs about $18 a month. That price is enough to make anyone scream!
>>> WE ALWAYS HAVE A CHOICE! Here is a wonder-filled, thought-provoking motivational movie that I can recommend for you and your entire family. We must remember for ourselves and teach our children that we always do have a choice. No matter what, we do. This only takes a few moments, but it's worth every second. http://www.TheChoiceMovie.com
>>> WANT TO SEE YOUR VERY OWN HOUSE FROM A SATELLITE? If you have Win2000 or XP you can go here and find the dandelions growing in your backyard! :) http://maps.google.com/
>>> This entire year is about FORGIVENESS of Ourselves and of everyone and everything because We All are ONE. This is a lovely program that provides thought-provoking and encouraging short messages to help us release fears and judgments of others. Why is this important? Again, because We All are ONE. Http://www.withforgiveness.com/
>>> Did you hear about the 3.3 million year old 3-year old they found in Ethiopia? She belongs to the "Australopithecus afarensis" species and blurs the line between apes and humans. You think that's why folks sometimes call Little Ones "monkeys"? Http://www.zeenews.com/znnew/articles.asp?rep=2&aid=324646&sid=FTP
>>> I like this one: Kindness is love in motion, given and received in appreciation for all creation.
>>> Here's a DIRECTORY for finding Healthy Food in your area. I'm eating all organic now because I was sick and tired of eating pesticides, herbicides and hormone laden foods. http://www.localharvest.org/
>>> I dialed a number and got the following recording: "I am not available right now, but thank you for caring enough to call. I am making some changes in my life. Please leave a message after the beep. If I do not return your call, you are one of the changes."
>>> On ADDICTIONS of any sort: I did it to myself. It wasn't society - it wasn't a pusher, it wasn't being blind or being black or being poor. It was all my doing. ~ Ray Charles ~
>>> Do you know about CELL PHONE SAFETY? Read this: http://www.safewireless.org/Default.aspx?tabid=191
>>> QUESTION OF THE YEAR: Why should I have to press 1 to hear it in English?
Also: If your cell phone is STOLEN, thwart the thieves by disabling the phone. To do this, you give the phone's SERIAL NUMBER to your phone service and they will turn it off. To get your phone's serial number, press *06# and the 15 digit code will appear in the window. Keep that number handy and you can stop the thief from racking up a huge bill.
>>> Little Tommy had been to a birthday party at a friend's house. Knowing his sweet tooth, Tommy's mother looked straight into his eyes and said, "I hope you didn't ask for a second piece of cake." "No, but I asked Mrs. Smith for the recipe so you could make some like it, and she gave me two more pieces without asking."
>>> Read this short essay and then be very surprised:
"What kind of peace do I mean?
What kind of peace do we seek?
Not a Pax Americana enforced on the world by American weapons of war.
Not the peace of the grave or the security of the slave.
I am talking about genuine peace, the kind of peace that makes life on earth worth living, the kind that enables men and nations to grow and to hope and to build a better life for their children -- not merely peace for Americans but peace for all men and women -- not merely peace in our time but peace for all time."
~ President John F. Kennedy at American University, 10 June 1963
Forty-three years later, we still wait! But now we know it begins with ME.
>>> COMPLIMENTARY 411 -- You may already know about this - No charge for directory assistance Phone companies are charging us $1.00 or more for 411 / information calls when they don't have to. When you need to use the 411 / information option! Simply dial 1-800-FREE-411 or 1 800 373 3411 Without incurring a charge.Works on home phones and cell phones.
>>> This is for all the Liddle Kiddles and for you, too. THE SIZE OF OUR WORLD! Http://www.rense.com/general72/size.htm
>>> ELECTRIC ICE or How To Make A Bolt of Lightning. Http://science.nasa.gov/headlines/y2006/13sep_electricice.htm?list118097
>>> Watch this and see what happens! Put your mouse arrow on the man's nose. http://fun.from.berdyczow.org/2004-05-26/posmeraj-goscia-w-nos.swf
>>> Birth of a HUMMINGBIRD http://community-2.webtv.net/Velpics/HUM/
>>> God made man before woman so as to give him time to think Of an answer for her first question.
>>> My Resume...
My first job was working in an orange juice factory, but I got canned,
couldn't concentrate.
Then I worked in the woods as a lumberjack, but I just couldn't hack it,
so they gave me the ax.
After that I tried to be a tailor, but I just wasn't suited for it, mainly
because it was a so-so job.
Next I tried working in a muffler factory but that was too exhausting.
Then I tried to be a chef, figured it would add a little spice to my life
but I just didn't have the thyme.
I attempted to be a deli worker, but any way I sliced it, I couldn't cut
the mustard.
My best job was being a musician but eventually I found I wasn't
noteworthy.
I studied a long time to become a doctor, but I didn't have any patience.
Next was a job in a shoe factory, I tried but I just didn't fit in.
I became a professional fisherman, but discovered that I couldn't live on
my net income.
I managed to get a good job working for a pool maintenance company, but the work was just too draining.
So then I got a job in a workout center, but they said I wasn't fit for
the job.
After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job as a
historian until I realized there was no future in it.
I could have been a Violinist, but I'm too high-strung A Bowler, but it's
not up my alley, A Magician, but the urge vanished, A Librarian, but I
shelved the idea, A Plumber, but it was only a pipe-dream
My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was
always the same old grind.
SO I RETIRED AND I FOUND I AM PERFECT FOR THE JOB. :)
>>> Here's a fun BIRTHDAY CALENDAR CALCULATOR, tells everything about you: http://www.paulsadowski.com/birthday.asp
>>> ONLINE REBATES: I have discovered and am enjoying the Web site www.ebates.com (not to be confused with eBay). This site links to hundreds of merchants you may normally patronize, but if you shop through Ebates, you will get anywhere from a 1 percent to a 25 percent rebate. My last check was for $45. I did much of my Christmas shopping at eBates and found free shipping from many merchants. If you are already going to shop at a listed store, you know you are getting the best deal. Why not save the gas and earn a rebate? Check it out.
>>> Aspire to inspire before you expire.
>>> Take a minute...HOW WELL OFF ARE YOU? Http://users.gazinter.net/melan/Warn/Warnenu.htm
>>> HOW DOES HE DO THAT? http://www.youtube.com/v/RB-wUgnyGv0
>>> This is for the BOYS and DADDYS and GIRLS and MOMMYS who love to see gadjets work! http://www.albinoblacksheep.com/flash/honda.php
>>> You are affected only by your thoughts. -- A Course in Miracles
>>> Dear Lin, I read your new ebook "Let Your Mortgage Make You Rich!" Http://www.Letyourmortgagemakeyourich.com and I agree with your reasoning. Personally I have known about and used many of the concepts when purchasing houses, but I have never mixed and matched them as well as you suggest. Thanks for the good ideas. I'll use them if ever I have another mortgage. I feel certain that my Empowered Parents across the USA will appreciate hearing about your thrifty work.
Sincerely, Joan Bramsch, Parents' Cheerleader

After many years of trying to find steady work I finally got a job as a
historian until I realized there was no future in it.
I could have been a Violinist, but I'm too high-strung A Bowler, but it's
not up my alley, A Magician, but the urge vanished, A Librarian, but I
shelved the idea, A Plumber, but it was only a pipe-dream
My last job was working at Starbucks, but I had to quit because it was
always the same old grind.
SO I RETIRED AND I FOUND I AM PERFECT FOR THE JOB. :)

>>> ONLINE REBATES: I have discovered and am enjoying the Web site www.ebates.com (not to be confused with eBay). This site links to hundreds of merchants you may normally patronize, but if you shop through Ebates, you will get anywhere from a 1 percent to a 25 percent rebate. My last check was for $45. I did much of my Christmas shopping at eBates and found free shipping from many merchants. If you are already going to shop at a listed store, you know you are getting the best deal. Why not save the gas and earn a rebate? Check it out.

>>> Dear Lin, I read your new ebook "Let Your Mortgage Make You Rich!" Http://www.Letyourmortgagemakeyourich.com and I agree with your reasoning. Personally I have known about and used many of the concepts when purchasing houses, but I have never mixed and matched them as well as you suggest. Thanks for the good ideas. I'll use them if ever I have another mortgage. I feel certain that my Empowered Parents across the USA will appreciate hearing about your thrifty work.
Sincerely, Joan Bramsch, Parents' Cheerleader
