Have you ever pondered your dreams, the creativity and how your mind creates places, people, and things you've never seen or done before?

Reality Check!

How To Save On Your Utility Bills

The cost of utilities has skyrocketed. Last year we were paying $180.00 a month average just to heat our home in the winter. Summer brought $200.00 a month electric bills just to keep the house cool. Of course our landlord refused to fix the water leak under the foundation of the house which affected the hot water heater which was a gas water heater. Then there's the fact that when we rented the house he promised to put adequate air conditioning in and when summer came he handed us two very small window A/C units that had to run 24/7 just to cool the home.

The above are not ways to save on utility bills. They are the fruits of what I deem a crook and a slum lord. In the end the landlord lost his home to foreclosure, as we moved out and no one else would rent it.

There are ways to save on your utilities and if you contact your utility company, they will provide you with information on how to save money. Plus you can have them come out and examine the heating, stove, air conditioning and other around the house situations that could be costing you money.

Where there is a desire to save money, money will be saved.

Relax, Grab A Great Book & Some Java

Winter will soon be upon us and that brings spending more time indoors. It gets cold outside, the weather starts doing its thing, day light savings changes and most people start hibernating. That's when it's time to grab a good book, a cup of Java and relax in a good story.

It's relaxing to sit at home, read a great book and sip on some nice hot java.
Enjoy!

Brain Overloads

How many megs can one's brain hold before the memory chips clog up. Occasionally, we must clear the clutter out and come down from the high altitudes of our own thoughts and find reality. Otherwise, the families always running for cover, the dogs batting it's head against the walls and we lose track of what we were trying to accomplish.

Blink!

Hidding Behind The Scars Of Life

Sometimes life can leave us with scars, very much like being in a automobile accident. We encounter difficult times, illnesses, emotional problems, losses and many other unfortunate things. As the years go by, we can end up with deep wounds and scars. That is sad and hits home with many of us.

Let me encourage you to let go off all the traumas that life, others and even those in your own household have inflicted upon you. Don't live in the scars of yesterday. Be healed and enjoy you're today's and tomorrows.

The In Justice Of It

Have you ever encountered a situation when someone owed you money that they promised to give to you, yet you never received it. Or maybe someone promised to take care of another matter, yet that too never came to pass. Next think you know, the person does everything they can to avoid you. That's because they don't want to be held accountable.

What the don't realize it that they are accountable and their actions or shall we say non actions will catch up with them and many times they will be multiplied back upon them in other areas of their life. You see, we all reap what we sow and if we sow dishonesty and broken promises, we will reap the fruit of such things.


Darkened Hearts

Have you ever noticed how sometimes people's true colors shine through and the colors are the complete opposite of what they wanted you and others to think about them? Only to realize that you have been handed a continuous flow of deception and lies? It amazes me how some people use and abuse others basically to make up for their own miserable worthless lives. Many times you can even see the fruits of such people in their children do to the dysfunctional family and dysfunctional family lifestyle. It's sad because their lives are filled with endless scares, headaches, and metal illnesses and the affects upon the children lead to emotional problems, anger management problems, guilt, shame, embarrassments, and they become disconnected from reality.

Know this, they do not go un noticed and while they think they have pulled the wool over the eye's of many, in time, they will be exposed. You see, those who cast evil and wickedness upon others in the end become ensnared in their own ways. Life becomes endlessly painful for them, they continue to encounter emotional, mental and even health problems that soon overtake them. It's really sad to see a life and the lives of others waste away and decay like that. It's a long, slow and very painful death, yet death is withheld from them.

There is no peace, saith the LORD, unto the wicked.

Dreams Of The Big One's

There are big fish and small fish in the oceans of life. Many times we set out for the big catches and end up with sardines rather than tuna. Yet even as a child we must learn how to catch the minnows before we attempt to catch the big ones. We learn from the process of starting with small things when we are small. Sometimes we see ourselves as giants with great capabilities. Sometimes we see ourselves as that which we are not or shall I say have not arrived at or accomplished yet. Now don't get me wrong, that's not to say that we all can't find and become successful. However it is to say that we must work at success, earn success, cultivate success and become successful before we lay claim to it. Oh, and by the way, quitting is not in the formula.

Suspicious Minds, Thoughts And Blind Sight

A suspicious mind runs on paranoia and leads to dark thoughts. If unchecked it's like driving in the fast lane of the freeway blind.
Trust is a great seed, honor is like a breath of fresh air and loyalty is like food to the soul.
Practice them.


True Colors

I encountered a dream last January. There was this man and he appeared to be like a professor. At least he thought he was. He had all his books and papers in front of him on a table. He was speaking as if to a large crowd. In front of the man were rows and rows of chairs. The chairs were all empty, yet the man continued with his speech as if all the chairs had people sitting in them. The man was speaking and teaching to empty chairs. It was only a dream.


What colors does your character and personality give off? Are you a beautiful rainbow or a headache? Are your colors full or transparent? Do people like you or put up with you? Do people enjoy you or walk away wondering if you're all there. Do you see yourself as beautiful colors while others see you as colorless?
