Although there are most definitely elements of warmth and encouragement to be found, as the title implies (sort of anyway) - the style and frankness of the book's content is far from the traditional content of typical inspirational and motivational books on the market. In other words, by no means is it a feel good, just-believe-and-things-will-happen-for-you offering. Instead, the message from the inspirational poems and stories is... increasing your happiness and fulfillment begins with refocusing your thoughts, beliefs and degree of commitment – and then simply persevering, each and every day. It’s about faith in the great power we have within and even greater faith in even greater things. It’s about the power we have to choose what we will think, say and do today – and whom we will inspire… It’s about this life and the finite time we’ve been blessed with and how we will, from this point, choose to spend it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The amazing thing is the perspectives presented in the book's inspirational poems and life stories are just as relevant for the admittedly skeptical as they are for the avid reader with the collection of twenty-seven inspirational and motivational books on his or her bookshelf. The motivating and inspiring perspectives are just as relevant for the young and the not so young... for those chasing big dreams and those with magnificent dreams still to be defined... for those with tremendous means and those now truly ready to begin to ascend... for those who wake up everyday with a smile and those who don't particularly appreciate the ‘Smilers’. The perspectives offered in the book's poems and stories can be relevant for just about anyone. And these are the perspectives that are the foundation, inspiration and very purpose for the atypical collection of inspiring poems, stories and quotations shared in this uniquely inspirational and motivational book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And so, these are the motivating and inspiring perspectives, and this is the book, that will challenge and uplift you, if you are truly ready to begin to perceive yourself, your life, your destiny and the world around you in a new and more inspired way... if you are truly ready to begin to expect and demand more from each day - much as these perspectives, stories and poems from the book have begun to impact three-time-author Betty Dravis, as passionately shared in her &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0931761255?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=inspbookofmot-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0931761255"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;five star Amazon.com review of "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me...

Specifically, there’s a chapter, “Eventually, Death Visits Us All” that features compelling inspirational stories and poems particular to the topics of dealing with loss, terminal illness and death. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;I told a reporter recently, who was interviewing me about the book, which often times our society seems to do everything we possibly can to ignore, and otherwise avoid, the thought of death, dying, terminal illness – or anything of the sort. Perhaps, we somehow think if we can manage not to think about it, or acknowledge it, we somehow will never have to deal with it… it will somehow never manage to cross our paths. Well, obviously nothing could be further from the truth.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The reality is… whether we think about it or not, the grains of sand continue to make their respective ways through the hourglasses of our lives. And ultimately whether we choose to appreciate it or not, each day… each hour… each minute… is both precious and fleeting. For each span of time in our lives represents a window of time we will not be getting back. Spend it wisely - or not… Spend it positively - or not… Spend it in a way that brings more purpose, achievement, passion, inspiration, happiness and fulfillment to our lives – or not… The reality is, that time simply won’t be coming back.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;So, what does all this have to do with a motivational and inspirational book? Well, my contention is gaining a healthy appreciation of death is a surefire way of optimizing one’s perspective and appreciation of life. How? Simply put, there’s no better way to crystallize the value of time – and the absolute importance of how we decide to spend each day… each hour… each and every minute of our respective lives. With that new appreciation for life, the nature of our perceptions, thoughts, intentions, decisions and behaviors have incredible license to change – and from there, tomorrow and every day after can never be the same.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And thus, whether you or someone you care about is struggling to deal with the concept of death, trying to find the strength to support someone through a terminal illness, endeavoring to better appreciate the perspective of someone you care about who may be dying or pained with the heartache of a loved one lost the stories and poems in this book can be a source of perspective, inspiration and empowerment. (&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/BookExcerpt7.htm"&gt;Click here to read an inspirational story excerpt from “Eventually, Death Visits Us All&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;) Conversely, if you would like to get a gain a better appreciation for life… for the importance and relevance of the time we are blessed with each and every day, if you would like to begin to develop a an enhanced sense of purpose, inspiration, motivation, empowerment and sheer determination to get the most out of life - well then, this very well may be the book for you. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;For once we truly come to appreciate the time we’ve been blessed with, not living it to the fullest, not doing purposeful things and not spending it with the people most meaningful in our lives – can no longer be an option.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The only question is… Are you ready for a new perspective?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/DAnthony_InspirationalAuthor.htm"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;D Anthony&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;

Our lives are supposed to be more than the hustle and bustle, than passing the time wondering, wishing, and waiting, than the daily grind of managing to live through each individual day until there are none. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="AStandard"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:#00000a;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:#00000a;"&gt;No, our intended destiny has to be about bigger, more meaningful, timeless, and lasting concepts like purpose, discovery, charity, faith, love, happiness, and fulfillment. It is vital we come to appreciate that with the right attitude and choices, our lives can, and will, make a difference, that within us we have the power to monumentally change ourselves and influence others.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="AStandard"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:#00000a;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:#00000a;"&gt;And it all begins with perspective.

In need of an occasional uplifting thought to help re-calibrate life's direction, or simply remind you about the wondrous possibilities all around you... about the potential you have to immensely influence those possibilities, yourself and others around you each and every day. Struggling just a little with the fairness of the hand life has most recently dealt you? Or perhaps that mind set more accurately embodies a loved one or a close friend. Well, either way, have we got the ultimate trump card for you - the perfect tool for beginning to turn that bad fortune around. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Consider, just for a moment or two, that, whether we realize it or not, the key to our respective attitudes and destinies, our happiness and fulfillment, what comes of each day and the extent of relevance and impact we will have on the people and events around us from this point forward - is largely in our respective hands? That's a pretty awesome responsibility when you stop to think about it - especially without a roadmap, of sorts, to help us get back on the right path.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And that’s where “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential” comes in. Through an uncommon yet compelling and engaging brand of wisdom, insight and perspective the motivational and inspirational stories, poems and maxims will help to foster a more uplifting, inspired and empowered outlook each and every day – and your potential to more purposefully and advantageously shape your tomorrows.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Interested in how a change in perspective could enhance your life, or a loved one’s today?

Words to live by.  &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;Lightword Publishing&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Now readers can convert their lives from  the drain of personal and financial worries to a meaningful, creative, and  spiritually rich reality. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;BookReview.com&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;A nice present for  yourself. Or a great gift for someone who considers you to be important to his  or her life. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;Dorothy Lafrinere, Founder of  WomensSelfesteem.com&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;You cannot help but feel driven towards a stronger  commitment towards a more fulfilled and purposeful life. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;Publisher  &amp;amp; Editor of Bookpleasures.com, Norm Goldman, B.A. LL.L&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;What sets D  Anthony apart is his snappy, entertaining prose style, bolstered by his poetry  and sincere guidance. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;Book Description&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;There simply has to be  more to life than the here and now, more than worrying about bills, the job,  schedules, and acquiring more possessions. Life is supposed to be more than the  hustle and bustle, more than the daily grind of merely making it through each  day until there are no more. Our days are supposed to be rooted in more  meaningful and lasting pursuits like purpose, charity, faith, happiness, and  fulfillment. We are here to make a difference. In The Nurse in the Delivery Room  Slapped Me. Once, you will find stories and perspectives that will help unlock  your amazing potential-potential to foster monumental change in yourself and the  people around you. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;From the Author&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;In the end, it all comes  down to balance. Thus, this motivational and inspirational book is as much about  the potential exhilaration and wonder that can be life - as it is the emotional  devastation, inherent dignity and perspective that can come with death. It's  about nurturing an impassioned and unwavering belief that we each possess an  innate ability, through our thoughts and deeds to positively change the world -  and nurturing the appreciation that, because some things are in fact beyond our  direct influence, faith in a considerably higher power is necessary. It's about  the pain of having life, often in the form of someone we care about; knock us  down - and the will it takes, and triumph that comes with, making it back to our  feet. It's about the existence of love, laughter, passion and perspective that  can make yours, and mine, a most audacious life - and the pain, tears, loss and  fear... and the intended inspirational lessons to be derived. It's about the  realization that without the rain, there would never be true and lasting  appreciation for the sun. It's about being willing to step up to bat... and  being willing to really swing. But, more than anything, it's about life, being  cognitive that the sand continues to flow through the respective hourglasses of  our existence and what we choose to think - and not think, do - and not do from  here. Enjoy the book.  &lt;P&gt;Each day, be inspired - then aspire to more...  &lt;P&gt;D Anthony &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;From the Back Cover&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;There simply has to be more  to life than the here and now, more than worrying about bills, the job,  schedules, and acquiring more possessions. Life is supposed to be more than the  hustle and bustle, more than the daily grind of merely making it through each  individual day until there are no more. Our days are supposed to be rooted in  more meaningful and lasting pursuits like purpose, charity, faith, happiness,  and fulfillment. We are here to make a difference. In "The Nurse in the Delivery  Room Slapped Me... Once", you will find stories and perspectives that will help  unlock your amazing potential -- potential to foster monumental change in  yourself and the people around you. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;B&gt;About the Author&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;From the  devastating untimely demise of his beloved mother... from the overwhelming  heartache and sense of bewilderment, the catalyst of intense questioning about  validity of purpose and the relevance of faith... from the entirely selfish need  to simply have living begin to matter again - eventually a new, considerably  more selfless destiny, would begin to emerge. In time, discontent would become  renewed purpose and disillusionment reinvigorated passion - passion to get the  most out of this life and to aspire to his true intended destiny... passion to  encourage all who can dare to dream to discover and strive for their very own  unique and incredible version of the same.  &lt;P&gt;It is with that resolve that he launched the motivational and inspirational  website, SomethingToShare.com, as an insightful respite from life's issues and  pitfalls - and a haven for perspective to help make it through the day. And with  this inspirational book, he takes the next step; offering an empowering,  optimistic and highly effective brand of perspective, charging us to recognize  and nullify long-held, counterproductive limiting thoughts, paradigms and  self-doubt... and challenging us to find and reclaim our dreams... our  aspirations... our happiness... our fulfillment... our very purpose for being  here. &lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV style="CLEAR: left; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px"&gt;&lt;SPAN  class=caretback&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#cc6600&gt;‹&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt; &lt;A  href="http://www.amazon.com/Nurse-Delivery-Room-Slapped-Me-Once/dp/0931761255/ref=dp_return_2?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;n=283155&amp;amp;s=books"&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#003399&gt;Return to Product Overview&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV style="CLEAR: left; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#cc6600&gt;______________________&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV style="CLEAR: left; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#cc6600&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV style="CLEAR: left; PADDING-BOTTOM: 4px"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#cc6600&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;A  href="http://www.amazon.com/Nurse-Delivery-Room-Slapped-Me-Once/dp/0931761255/ref=dp_return_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;n=283155&amp;amp;s=books"&gt;The  Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me...Once&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; on  Amazon.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;A href="http://ststhebook.com/"&gt;STSThe  Book&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5678221109101101814-8380931419056757738?l=inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/feeds/8380931419056757738/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5678221109101101814&amp;postID=8380931419056757738&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/8380931419056757738'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/8380931419056757738'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/2008/03/inspirational-book-d-anthony-author-and.html' title='Inspirational Book: D Anthony Author and Motivator'/><author><name>D Anthony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17376042642410422431</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678221109101101814.post-5423873067251531872</id><published>2008-03-17T03:52:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-03-17T03:46:54.541-04:00</updated><title type='text'>Inspirational Short Stories</title><content type='html'>&lt;DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Inspirational Short  Stories&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;D Anthony, author of "The Nurse in the Delivery  Room Slapped Me...Once" continues to gain notoriety and presence on the  internet.

What if your life could be considerably happier and more fulfilled? What if your life could be considerably more inspirational and inspirational in nature? What if your life could have considerably more purpose, direction, passion, enthusiasm, enjoyment, wonder, perspective and achievement? More over, suppose your life was meant to be comprised of all these things. Finally, suppose the means to becoming a more inspirational, motivational, happy and fulfilled individual is primarily in your hands? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Would the knowledge that you have it within your power to monumentally change your existence - change anything? Would your outlook, perspective and day to day decisions continue to remain the same? Could you possibly simply continue living life the same way?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;These are a few of the concepts and associated questions presented for your consider in the uniquely and unconventionally entertaining, challenging, uplifting, motivational and inspirational book, “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential”, by D Anthony. Here’s a excerpt straight from the pages of the inspiring book that is compelling people to consider, believe in, seek, expect and strive for more out of life… more purpose, happiness and fulfillment out of each and every day. From the chapter entitled “Playing With Passion”;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;Get In the Game&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Why is it that some people virtually always seem to ride a wave of achievements and others do not? Why is it that, some continuously migrate ever closer to fulfillment of their dreams and others do not? Why is it that some regularly find and experience true and meaningful happiness in their lives and countless others do not? Is the latter group the equivalent of God's neglected stepchildren, undeserving of the opportunities that, for select others, are as natural as the light of day? Not likely. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Are the unfulfilled merely random martyrs, eternally condemned, never to understand or appreciate the extent to which they can, and do, control their destinies? Is their fate simply to mark the passage of time in an uninspired existence, forever mired in the status quo? That depends.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The Formula Revealed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Suppose a surprisingly simple winning formula for life actually exists. Suppose, much like a well-designed, practiced, and executed game-plan in your sport of choice, one’s life can be successfully scripted. And finally, suppose that once a game-plan has been initiated, success invariably comes down to the quality and consistency of choices made each day and the degree of the positive attitude incorporated to sustain them. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;It could convincingly be argued that our present disposition in life has been most predominately defined by our choices in the past and tomorrow's potential by our choices today. In other words, the most crucial difference between those who possess success, prosperity, and happiness and those who do not is the collective tenor of the choices made, and whether an inspired attitude was, and continues to be, maintained to properly nurture those choices. As a result, the degree of individual success or failure we are destined to achieve, and the extent to which we will be intimately familiar with true and lasting happiness, is essentially up to each of us. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;This perspective suggests our ongoing results are derivative of how we respond to those events and happenstances. It is the adoption and unconditional commitment to this mindset, and associated behaviors that most uniquely distinguish the truly happy from the unhappy, the successful from unsuccessful, the passionate from the discontented, the leaders from the followers. When it's all said and done, each of our lives truly is what we make of it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;To reap the greatest rewards, the nature, tenor, and perceived criticality of day-to-day decisions and associated behaviors must continuously be enhanced. In addition, ever-more-challenging and wider-reaching perspectives must be embraced, perspectives that both govern and elevate not only our decisions and attitudes but the very course of our lives. Armed with this mindset, it becomes increasingly impossible not to believe passionately in the power of your destiny. It becomes increasingly impossible not to invest unwavering belief in, and commitment to, your dreams and aspirations. It becomes impossible to believe that you can’t change the world. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;With this psyche duly engaged, time, especially that which remains will develop much greater significance. Nurtured by passion, purpose will find more and more fertile ground and grow. Once the roots of purpose begin to grow and the need for fulfillment finally takes hold, a future not founded on purpose, a future not utilizing the precious time we have remaining to the fullest, will cease to be, on any level, acceptable. Then life can really begin.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Just imagine the limitless potential of our greatest qualities enriched with a never-ending injection of passion. Imagine the potential force of those qualities, those talents, unchecked by fear of failure. Imagine an ever-expanding confidence in your abilities, fortified and empowered by a healthy supply of internal praise and anticipation for each and every looming triumph to come. Imagine having some place you need to be, some place your heart, your mind, and your spirit enthusiastically agree that it’s where you ought to, no, have to be. Then, without concern for distance, undaunted by would-be-limiting doubt, you take a deep breath and step.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;If you are true to adopting this mindset, taking that first step will be immensely gratifying. And it's that empowering feeling that will inspire each new incremental step to come. Each successive individual victory will mandate an ever-more committed you. Commit to this mindset and greater purpose and personal fulfillment will be fostered. Commit to this mindset, and your true intended destiny can be your own.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;It comes down to perspective and choice. Will we crave personal growth and fulfillment enough to commit to this simple yet empowering life-enriching perspective? Will we endeavor to continuously enhance our perspective, to foster the best choices? Will we stand and represent, or will we cower and defer? In the end, it all starts and ends with the fundamental question: In the arena of life, will the essence of our true destiny be merely that of a spectator or will we be stars in the game?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Only time and our next steps will tell.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Bottom line, the choice and the opportunity is very much ours… each and every one of us. We don’t have to simply accept life as it is. And because our time is both so precious and so fleeting, perhaps a motivational and inspirational book that will give you the insight and perspective to induce your very own transformation to the you you never even knew you could be – is long over due.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Want a new perspective?

His dedication to this cause is only matched by his powerful words within  the pages.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Inspiration, motivation, intelligent action with some real  time information concerning all aspects of esoteric knowledge, describe this  book to a tee. Mr. Anthony has come to the full realization that living well is  a choice and a responsibility. We are all blatantly responsible for the twists  and turns that our lives take. He has unlocked the mystery of the ages in a very  down to earth and meaningful manner that anyone from youngsters, to the elderly  can benefit from.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Would I call "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped  Me...Once" an inspirational book? Of course, as I was moved and inspired to  realign my introspective side to new heights. Would I recommend this book for  anyone and everyone to read? Indeed! I have now delved deeply within the pages  and I gain new angles of positivity and creativity, each and every time I read  it.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I enjoy this type of inspiration. There is no call to action  concerning religion. There is no talking about how we live our lives, but only  the digging deep and unlocking the full human potential that is within us  all.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I heartily congratulate D Anthony and I am looking forward to the  next that he writes. I know that it will be inspiring, motivational and all  written with a special style and grace that describes this inspirational author  and motivator.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;You may purchase the book directly from the Author's  Website by following this link: &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A href="http://ststhebook.com/"  target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000  size=2&gt;http://ststhebook.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;Amazon.com also  carries this fine inspirational work at this link:&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A  href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0931761255?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=inspbookofmot-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativ"  target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000  size=2&gt;http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0931761255?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=inspbookofmot-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativ&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT  size=2&gt; eASIN=0931761255&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The price of the book is pennies compared to the  knowledge and inspiration that you will carry for your life  journey.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;_____________________&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Butch Hamilton-SEO Master-Phase IV  Marketing Group&lt;BR&gt;From Domain Purchasing Through Website Constuction and  Effective Promoting on Google&lt;BR&gt;806-874-3314&lt;BR&gt;806-205-0648&lt;BR&gt;fax  806-874-0036&lt;BR&gt;Office Hours: M-F 9-6 CST&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A  href="http://superior-seo-services.com/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000  size=2&gt;http://superior-seo-services.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A  href="http://avirtualoffice.com/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000  size=2&gt;http://avirtualoffice.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;A  href="http://seosubscription.butchhamiltonseo.com/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#ff0000  size=2&gt;http://seosubscription.butchhamiltonseo.com/&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;FONT size=2&gt;  &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5678221109101101814-4213833565491877885?l=inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/feeds/4213833565491877885/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5678221109101101814&amp;postID=4213833565491877885&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/4213833565491877885'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/4213833565491877885'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/2008/03/inspirational-book-by-d-anthony.html' title='Inspirational Book by D Anthony'/><author><name>D Anthony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17376042642410422431</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678221109101101814.post-2654025744748629625</id><published>2008-03-09T11:42:00.000-04:00</published><updated>2008-03-09T11:37:22.689-04:00</updated><title type='text'>D Anthony Continues Success</title><content type='html'>&lt;DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;D Anthony, author of "The Nurse in the Delivery  Room Slapped Me...Once" continues to gain notoriety and presence on the  internet.

This author provides  interesting and stimulating short story discussions concerning life, death,  relationships and throws into the mix, certain not thought of parodies to  entertain and mystify the reader. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;"The Nurse in the Delivery Room  Slapped Me...Once" tells a tale of the path that many have travelled before due  the death of loved ones. The slow and steady rise of once again being able to  live life on a new level is clearly defined on the pages.

This is a book about the importance of time, the power of choice, growth,  toughening up and having a heart, commitment, passion, and inspiration. This is  a book that considers the ups and downs, life, and death – and what it all  means. More than anything however, this is a book that considers a journey's  impact, a life-long quest for meaning, happiness and fulfillment, and the  resulting stories, perspectives, and lessons that I have collected along the  way.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;As it turns out, somehow in the midst of years of just trying to  survive the excruciating heartache, disheartenment and sorrow that come with  having someone you love with all your heart taken away. Life began to take on a  whole new meaning for me. I realized that life is fleeting. I realized that  whether we utilize our time wisely, whether we believe in ourselves, whether we  challenge our fears, whether we endeavor to reach for our dreams and  aspirations, whether we strive to make a difference - one thing is certain: the  sand will continue to fall through the hourglass, and one day will soon become  the next.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;So, in the time we have here, why wouldn't we choose to spend that  time purposefully, striving for that which matters? Why wouldn't we want to live  our lives dedicated to experiencing every bit of true happiness and fulfillment  we could possibly acquire?&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;Perhaps you doubt that "true happiness and fulfillment" really  exist, having long ago accepted these concepts as trumped-up illusions treasured  only by people not living in the real world. A story comes to mind. Years ago,  in passing, I asked a young boy how he was. He answered that he was doing "good"  because he didn't have to go to school that day, continuing that he didn't like  school and wished he were done. I asked him whether he realized the importance  of school, adding that if he got good grades he could be anything he wanted to  be. I asked if he could be anything, what he would choose. He responded, "You  mean like a bus driver?"&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;Don't get me wrong, a bus driver is a perfectly honorable and  respectable profession. I think the boy was working with a very limited  perspective about his universe of options.&amp;nbsp; His thought process wasn't  along the lines of: &lt;EM&gt;not interested in becoming a CEO, judge, doctor,  astronaut, or a governor… I think I want to be a bus driver&lt;/EM&gt;. He simply  wasn't aware he had so many other options. Sound familiar? &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;Perhaps your perspective is, after years of trying, that true  happiness and fulfillment just isn't within you. Since I have a hard time  believing that the Almighty indiscriminately gifted some of us with a  magnificent, destiny-defining spark, and did not gift countless others, my  suspicion is that we all have the potential within us. It's just a matter, for  some, of unlocking the door so that the potential can be released.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;I'd like to think that, so many years ago, having presented that  young boy with a more opportunistic outlook and additional career options, that  he went on to improve his life. I'd also like to think that the stories and  perspectives in this book will help unlock your amazing new potential and very  own unique and winning mindset.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;Make no mistake about it, we are all interconnected and most  everything has purpose. What I do today has impact on your tomorrow. And what  you do tomorrow has impact on others and me the following day—for good or bad.  My mother was called home &lt;EM&gt;yesterday&lt;/EM&gt;. &lt;EM&gt;Today&lt;/EM&gt; I wrote, and you're  reading, this book. And if your heart and mind are open, if you possess a  willingness to consider, embrace and incorporate – then happiness and  fulfillment can be yours and we can all look forward to a brighter  &lt;EM&gt;tomorrow&lt;/EM&gt;."&lt;/P&gt;

While it’s very important to have audacious stretch goals… goals that will fundamentally positively impact who we are and our status in life – it’s key that we do two things. First, we should not only focus on those goals, but identify additional goals that are of a short-term and intermediate range. Second, we should segment the audacious stretch goals into smaller sub-goals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Book Antiqua;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"&gt;The reason this is so important is that our dreams and aspirations, the achievement of your goals, requires consistent fuel – as well as our personal commitment and perseverance. And in order to keep that personal commitment and perseverance going, an injection of energy, or adrenalin, is required from time to time. That energy… that adrenalin… comes from the feeling we obtain when you accomplish goals.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Book Antiqua;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"&gt;So, the result, as we are able to accomplish some of the smaller, more immediate or intermediate goals, we get an injection of energy that serves to help propel us further along the path toward our even bigger goals. By the same token, and perhaps even more importantly, if we break down our big audacious goals in a manner that is segmented in smaller components – then each time we are able to accomplish one of the sub-goals, you put yourself in a position to not only receive a boost of energy, but also to be that much closer to accomplishing our big audacious goals. And that shot of energy goes a long way toward inspiring and motivating us to do whatever is necessary to accomplish whatever remaining sub-goals are left to be completed.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Book Antiqua;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"&gt;By contrast, if we only have big audacious goals – as an example, graduating from school… If we focus on that goal only, then the endpoint of that goal could be multiple years away. As a result, it becomes more difficult to maintain the commitment to that goal – as difficulties introduce themselves… as we come across the bumps in the road we will most definitely experience. This is why, many times, we set goals and end up not having the stamina needed to achieve them.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Book Antiqua;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"&gt;So again, set not only your big goals, but intermediate and short-term goals as well. These goals, both personal and professional, will collectively form an important, empowering gravitational force pulling us ever closer to our true destinies. And, as far as the audacious stretch goals are concerned, we should have those as well – because those are the ones that can ultimately lift us and transport us to places we never dreamed we could go. We should just be sure to segment them into smaller segments, which can more quickly be accomplished and provide us with the necessary evidence that we are moving ever closer to our respective desired endpoints – while giving us the positive energy we need to overcome any lurking bumps in the road.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Book Antiqua;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

He felt bitterness &amp;amp; pain.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The truth is, from time to time, life is going to knock us down.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;At the age of nine, the author came across a book in the school library, with a simple message.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;While she didn't have many friends, she would skate day in &amp;amp; day out. Skating was who she was.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Her neighbors didn't understand. All that mattered to her was doing what she enjoyed &amp;amp; she wasn't in need of anyone else's blessing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;After the author finished college, started his career, a conversation caused him to remember Miss Tessie Tate. He began to search for this book. The book was no longer in print &amp;amp; inquires to his elementary school for information went unsatisfied. The librarian had not even heard of Miss Tessie Tate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;A book service search was able to track down a copy for him.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Miss Tessie Tate was about being true to yourself. It was about the power of self determination. It was about deciding the direction that was/is best for you &amp;amp; not letting anyone turn you around.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The author of Miss Tessie Tate - Jean Horton Berg.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The author wondered how different our youth would be if school systems mandated inspirational &amp;amp; motivational reading materials as part of the required curriculum.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;With the right attitude, this day anything is possible.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Everyday, there is fascinating new territory to discover, &amp;amp;

your spare time is dwindling? Here’s a recommendation that may help balance the scales – at least somewhat.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;If you think about it, there is a good bit of time that we spend, during the course of each day, that we could actually be significantly more productive. Examples of those times include driving time, shower time, lunch time, break time and pretty much anytime we are simply waiting on something or someone. Typically the way we spend that downtime is by occupying ourselves with any number of primarily mindless distractions such as the radio, television, phone conversations, random thoughts, etc. In reality, we could be considerably more productive with that time.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Thus, the self help improvement tip is this… Think about the issues, concerns and things that need to be solved in your life. Generate a list. Categorize the individual items in terms of whether you anticipate each to require considerable thought or not – and also in terms of each item’s relative importance to your happiness and fulfillment. Once you’&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_0"&gt;ve&lt;/span&gt; done that, be sure to keep a copy of that list close at all times.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And during those &lt;span class="blsp-spelling-corrected" id="SPELLING_ERROR_1"&gt;down times&lt;/span&gt;, pick a problem off the list and think about it. When you’re on your way to work… while you’re in the shower… when things slow down for a couple minutes and you have nothing else pressing to do – think about how you might resolve the problem - and how to best address the symptoms that allowed the problem to arise. Think about tasks you can do to minimize the relevance of the issue – as well as steps you can take to make the issue completely go away. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Just doing that… What you will find is that you will become considerably more productive in the time you do have. What you will find is that your list of problems will grow shorter and shorter – moving you that much closer to true happiness and fulfillment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Happy living to you…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;D Anthony&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;Inspirational Author and Motivator&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;Author of “&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0931761255?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=inspbookofmot-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0931761255"&gt;The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once&lt;/a&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;Founder of &lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/"&gt;&lt;span class="blsp-spelling-error" id="SPELLING_ERROR_2"&gt;STSTheBook&lt;/span&gt;.com&lt;/a&gt;

Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential")? Founded in the depths of sorrow, SomethingToShare.com was created as the only possible logical response to the completely illogical, unfair and unwarranted passing of my mother. The loss of my mother was a harsh dose of reality - coupled with pain and heartache the likes of nothing I'd ever known. Death had come into my life and abruptly taken the person most important to me - and I hadn't been able to do anything but helplessly watch, pray and cry. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;For me, her passing was, by far, the most horrific, excruciating and emotionally draining event that I had ever experienced. And in the resulting disillusioned, angry and rebellious state of mind that first week, I searched for answers... for a reason to go on... for something to alleviate at least a small portion of the pain. What I didn't know was that composing the program for my mother's funeral services would provide that opportunity. It was when I compiled the following for the back of the program that the stage was set for the healing to begin;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;None of us knows the volume of sand remaining in the hourglass of our lives... Now more than ever she teaches us to appreciate time... Now more than ever she teaches us to appreciate the people we spend it with... I urge you to seek out your loved ones, hug them, and let them know how much you care. God Bless...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Eventually out of the sorrow grew determination - determination to follow in her path so I would one day see her again... determination to refocus my life... determination to remind others about the value of each day... determination to make a difference in her name. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;From there, a few friends lent their perspectives, effort and a liberal helping of smiles (not to mention a few cathartic tears) - and countless others have cared enough to share and, in so doing, have become part of our extended SomethingToShare.com family. From there, my first motivational and inspirational book, "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me... Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential" was born – along with STSTheBook.com, dedicated to showcasing the book and other inspirational products.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;The goal... Via a continuous helping of motivational words, inspirational gifts, a little perspective, possibly a tear or two, a few laughs and whatever else we can think of - we endeavor to help motivate and inspire you to begin to make a difference in this world... for you and the people around you. Further, we encourage you to make the most of today - because when it's all said and done... tomorrow simply isn't promised. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;The concept and mission of SomethingToShare, the motivational and inspirational book, the resulting endeavors and most especially, absolutely any hint of positive impact and/or inspired, uplifting and beneficial outcomes induced are dedicated to the memory of a Rose, my mother - and her belief that no matter what this life brings, we must count our blessings, strengthen our resolve, lean on our faith and go right on living. Or as Mom would so succinctly put it… I used to cry because I had no shoes, then I met a man with no feet. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;So you are encouraged to open your mind and your heart today and to remember us whenever you are in need of a little inspiration. And above all know that if you touch just one life this day and the next... The world will be a better place.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Each day, be inspired – then aspire to more…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:11;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;font-size:85%;"  &gt;D Anthony&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;font-size:85%;"  &gt;Inspirational Author and Motivator&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Author of “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0931761255?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=inspbookofmot-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0931761255"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;Founder of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;STSTheBook.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.somethingtoshare.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:85%;"&gt;SomethingToShare.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;font-size:85%;"  &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;font-size:85%;"  &gt;© 2008 D-Rose Productions, All Rights Reserved&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:85%;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5678221109101101814-7321350613701528392?l=inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.ststhebook.com' title='Motivational &amp; Inspirational Book'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/feeds/7321350613701528392/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5678221109101101814&amp;postID=7321350613701528392&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/7321350613701528392'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/7321350613701528392'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/2008/01/motivational-inspirational-article-why.html' title='Motivational &amp; Inspirational Book'/><author><name>D Anthony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17376042642410422431</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678221109101101814.post-7576377369587187019</id><published>2008-01-18T16:29:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2008-01-18T16:38:13.151-05:00</updated><title type='text'>"The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me.

I’m deeply concerned on behalf of the youth… the messages, values and life lessons they are receiving and the limited expectations, paradigms and the nature of the potentially life-long outlooks being set.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;Norm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;Do you ever feel that you are preaching to the converted and that those who need most to read your book ignore it?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;color:black;"  &gt;D Anthony:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;color:black;"  &gt;Without a doubt… And I must admit, sometimes it gets a little frustrating… conversing with people unhappy with the direction their lives are headed, offering them a message they can use to begin to turn things around – and them not being willing to give it an honest try. It reminds me of an anecdote I came across, which I share in the book. A young man stops at a porch and queries an older gentleman in a rocking chair – “Is that your dog moaning… is something wrong with him?” The older gentleman responds, “Oh, he’s just lying on a nail… that’s all.” The young man presses further, “Well, why doesn’t he simply get off of the nail?” “It’s not hurting him that bad, I guess”, was the response. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;color:black;"  &gt;So, when it comes to those who most need to read the book, my job is to endeavor to help them consider that life is both precious and fleeting, our yesterdays don’t have to define our ‘todays’ and there’s a much more enjoyable and fulfilling life waiting beyond the nail. My job is to endeavor to help them to realize that nail… it’s not going to be the one that moves.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;Norm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-AUTOSPACE: ideograph-numeric"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Are you working on any books/projects that you would like to share with us?

My inspirational website, &lt;a href="http://www.somethingtoshare.com/"&gt;http://www.somethingtoshare.com/&lt;/a&gt; is due for a bit of a makeover, which should happen in the coming months. It is most definitely a great place for your readers to visit for a little perspective to help make it through the day, for those trying to deal with the loss of a loved one and for those who have inspirational life stories and poems they might like to share. SomethingToShare Inspirational Plaques are available with beautiful images of nature and uplifting messages at &lt;a href="http://www.somethingtoshare.com/Plaques/Main_InspirationalPlaques.shtm"&gt;http://www.somethingtoshare.com/Plaques/Main_InspirationalPlaques.shtm&lt;/a&gt;. They are a great source for daily inspiration – and perfect for the home and office. And last but not least, I’ve begun writing a blog.

is the culmination of a life long dream? And as a follow up, what motivated you to write the book?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;D Anthony:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;Not so much the culmination of a life long dream as a significant step in my perceived intended purpose in life. I feel eternally blessed to have the passionate, inspired, appreciative, ever-questioning and ever-striving perspective and attitude I have. And I believe my mission is to pass that sense of hope, inspiration and fortitude to anyone interested in living a better life – and getting more out of each day. And that’s a big part of my motivation for writing the book and everything else I’m working on. Inspiration is one of the most wonderful, life-altering gifts we can possibly give to ourselves and our loved ones. And my dream is that massive quantities of us come to realize that we, both individually and collectively, actually have so much to share.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Norm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;Where did you get your information and ideas for &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me…Once?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;D Anthony:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;In a word – life... The ironic thing is I am not a detail person. For some reason, detail just isn’t what my brain has ever tended to prioritize, or these days even maintain. To the contrary, the way I see the world, and the events that happen around me, is through a conceptual filter of sorts. As a result, I will often times recognize value in seemingly the most mundane of day to day events – conceptually linking that event with otherwise completely unrelated events or things experienced, seen or heard, perhaps many, many years prior, perhaps not until some point in the future – to ultimately derive some, for me anyway… fundamental truth. Of course, because I tend to see things through that conceptual filter, I’m probably not your best source for good driving directions…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Norm&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;How has your environment and/or upbringing influenced your writing?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;color:black;"  &gt;D Anthony:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;color:black;"  &gt;My environment is, in part, the inspiration for my writing - as I tend to question, consider, ponder the possibilities about and write about what I experience, hear and see. My upbringing - now that’s the foundation. My sense of purpose, commitment, diligence, perseverance, caring, faith and belief in self all, I believe, were positively influenced by watching and learning from so many of the individuals who had a hand in raising, caring for, teaching and interacting with me during my formative years. I’m sure I could readily map most of the core values expressed throughout the book to my mother, father, teachers, neighbors and so many others. Ultimately, I guess I endeavor to repay each of them for what they gave me by passing my message of inspiration, quality of life, purpose and potential along.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;Norm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-AUTOSPACE: ideograph-numeric"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;What, in your opinion, are the most important elements of good writing and what tools do you feel are must-haves for writers?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;color:black;"  &gt;D Anthony:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;color:black;"  &gt;This may be somewhat genre specific, but I think the best writing comes not only from the mind – but from the heart. And it is real, honest and moving. I’ve been fortunate enough to have readers tell me that the content in “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once” is insightful, frank and honest. I’ve been told the book is easily understood, concise and an easy read. I’ve been told that the book can be challenging. I’ve been told each of the life stories takes the reader on a journey. I’ve been told the book has been designated for use in specifically reserved get away spots – with those respective reserved spots including a lunchtime bench with birds singing in the background, during extended bath-times with candles lit and specially for when seated on the ‘John’. I’ve heard of a husband and wife that were reading the book separately, and discussing the individual life stories and the relevance to their lives, over breakfast each morning. I’d like to believe these all, collectively, offer evidence on behalf of elements of good writing in the book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;Norm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;How do you measure success?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;color:black;"  &gt;D Anthony:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;color:black;"  &gt;Have my efforts helped to facilitate positive impact in people’s lives?

I am merely someone blessed with the need to, since long ago when I was a child, always ask why, and cursed with the need to then seek the logical answer. The only degree on my proverbial wall is a Bachelor’s in Computer Based Information Management. And that’s the direction I was heading in, fully immersed on my chosen technical career path (including programmer, PC support specialist and telecommunications management) – then life as I knew it ceased to exist. Just like that, my mom was unapologetically and unceremoniously taken away. I was devastated. I had much heartache. I had much anger. And there was little fairness, meaning or purpose in it all to be found. My mom simply wasn’t here anymore and nothing else mattered – not even life itself. I wrote something to release some of my pent-up feelings. It proved therapeutic. I wrote some more. I realized it was therapeutic for others. The more I wrote, the more I had to say. And in time, the wonder of life again began to take hold, revealing an even more inspired and motivated me – bolstered with true purpose in life now fully understood. And I’ve been writing since…&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:black;"&gt;Norm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;Did you have a set plan when writing your book or was it &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;improvisational?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;D Anthony&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Definitely improvisational… In fact, some of the earlier stories, poems and maxims in the book, weren’t written for the book. They were originally written as rotational content for the inspirational website I founded eight years (or so) ago, SomethingToShare.com. Based on testimonials from site guests about how helpful the passages were however, it occurred to me that I needed to expand the audience… I needed to compose enough content to publish my first motivational and inspirational book. And a lot of writing, a lot of learning, and a number of sleep deprived nights… has me here…&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Norm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:black;"&gt;What's the most difficult thing for you about writing your book?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;D Anthony&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I would say maintaining my focus on all of the administrative tasks necessary to complete the book – when what I really wanted, and felt like I needed, to do was to just keep writing. Now that the book is completed, the internal conflict continues over the time required for marketing.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:black;"&gt;Norm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-AUTOSPACE: ideograph-numeric"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:black;"&gt;What has been your overall experience as a published author?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;D Anthony:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;The experience of being a published author has been remarkable. The book is significantly expanding the audience for the inspirational and motivational message. The volume of positive feedback, complimenting the relevance of the passages and the potential impact they could have, and are having, in readers’ lives has been absolutely incredible thus far. Similarly receiving so many heartfelt reviews and perspectives to this point, complimenting the writing style and degree to which the individual passages are engaging, have further motivated me, as well. Like the terrific Bookpleasures.com review from you Norm &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;(again thank you)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;… Bottom line, I’m just grateful and very much inspired by the unbelievably positive energy I’m receiving.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:black;"&gt;Norm:&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-AUTOSPACE: ideograph-numeric"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:black;"&gt;Do you feel that writers, regardless of genre owe something to readers, if not, why not, if so, why and what would that be?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;D Anthony:&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;I definitely believe writers owe something to their readers. To some degree, I think most every writer has the responsibility to grab and hold the attention of the reader. In the inspirational and motivational genre, I believe there is a particular requirement to uplift, challenge and educate - and hopefully leave the reader with something new, meaningful and relevant to consider.&lt;/strong&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#999999;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Again, this is installment 1 of 3 of my interview with Norm Goldman.

Whether the heartfelt words of an individual reader or the editorial viewpoint of an industry specialist – book reviews are absolutely critical for getting the best impression of a book’s real potential for impact in your life, and/or the lives of loved ones. And I’m happy to say; so far the reviews received have been pretty amazing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;As a perfect example, I’m extremely appreciative to &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Norm Goldman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;, publisher and editor of BookPleasures.com, for contributing such an inspiring industry review: &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;color:black;"  &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0931761255?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=inspbookofmot-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0931761255"&gt;The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoHyperlink"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:blue;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0931761255?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=inspbookofmot-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0931761255"&gt;Author: D Anthony&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="BACKGROUND: white; MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span class="MsoHyperlink"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;u&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:blue;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0931761255?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=inspbookofmot-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0931761255"&gt;ISBN: 0931761255&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/u&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;With his debut book, &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me ...Once&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;, D Anthony examines what life is all about where he explores such topics as our perspectives, values, simple acts of kindness, the need for change, gratitude, luck, success, ups and downs of life, choices, following your dreams and passions, happiness, and plethora of many more topics. And as D Anthony best sums it up, "The simple truth is; life is what we make of it."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me...Once&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; is certainly a lively and challenging discussion that no doubt will provide its readers with much food for thought. The breadth of the philosophical musings are quite remarkable as they are presented in the form of short essays, poems, maxims and truisms that require readers to savour each one in order to thoroughly digest them.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;It may be argued that the book is one man's perspective on life, however, when you analyse D Anthony's sage advice, you have to admit that he certainly is on the right track. For example, D Anthony maintains that in this life and in our outlook, perspective is all that counts. When we think about this, we should ask ourselves how many times we have made mountains out of molehills where we feel that the worst is going to happen to us. There is no doubt that each day brings with it a variety of problems, however, why is it that many of us perceive them with the same level of importance. Author Henry Kaiser best summed up the term problems when he asserted: "Problems are only opportunities in work clothes," or as one of my teachers once said, there are no problems but only solutions.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I loved D Anthony's essay entitled &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;One Day &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt;where he begins with: "It is said that the most valuable real estate on earth can be found in cemeteries because it is there that, buried among the remains, are all the ideas and opportunities not invested in or executed." How often do we procrastinate and fall into the trap of that old song that was co-written and sung by Peggy Lee entitled Maana. As explored throughout the book, D Anthony reminds his readers that they only have one life to live. Why not take advantage of everyday and make a difference either to ourselves or to others.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;In another essay D Anthony tackles the issue as to why some people are successful riding a wave of achievements while others are floundering or spinning their wheels without going anywhere. In other words, many of us lack the passion to fulfill our dreams or we fall into the trap of being apathetic. As D Anthony sums it up, "Apathy is a state of mind, a desolate, stagnant, barren, psychologically debilitating state with an exorbitant cost of living. Don't even visit."&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;These are only tidbits of the astute counsel D Anthony provides to his readers hoping that somewhere along the way many of us will wake up and smell the coffee.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;There are hundreds of books devoted to spiritual enrichment that are often quite dull usually digressing with a great deal of repetition and "mumbo jumbo." What sets D Anthony apart is his snappy, entertaining prose style, bolstered by his poetry and sincere guidance. In the end, however, it is up to the reader to decide if he or she will pursue the path outlined by D Anthony or remain stuck in their comfy old ways without entertaining the thought that perhaps change is necessary. Why not take a few risks, and maybe, just maybe, D Anthony knows what he is talking about and deserves a great deal of praise with his down-to-earth advice.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;Norm Goldman&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;, B.A. LL.L&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;color:black;"&gt;The Publisher &amp;amp; Editor of Bookpleasures.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;It should also be noted that Norm conducted an interesting author interview in which I provide additional insight into various topics including “The Nurse in the Delivery Slapped Me… Once”, motivational and inspirational books in general and what motivates and inspires me.

So not if, but when this happens - it will be primarily our perspective that will ultimately determine the nature of our attitude. And it will be primarily our attitude that will ultimately determine the nature of our response.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;For this reason, and countless others, those who can manage to maintain a passionate, inspired approach to each and every day create a tremendous edge for not only effectively dealing with life's immanent lows - but for maximizing the quantity and quality of life's potentially magnificent highs... not to mention simply being considerably more happy and fulfilled on a daily basis.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;So how can you begin to maintain a passionate, inspired approach to each and every day? That's the easy part. Believe it or not, it's as simple as beginning to alter your everyday perspective by changing the things that you expose yourself to, talk about, think about and dedicate time to -.. on a regular basis. Exposure to anybody and everything negative, to the extent possible, should be eliminated - otherwise severely minimized.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Have you ever spent a considerable amount of time around someone who is overwhelmingly negative? Did you notice the affect to your psyche, spiritual equilibrium and overall energy level? If you are anything like me, the longer you stay around that extreme negativity - the more draining it becomes. Much like Superman in close proximity to a chunk of a certain glowing green mass from home, there have been times I could literally feel my energy... my spirit my 'Mojo... being inexplicably drawn from my body and mind. After a long period of exposure, I didn't particularly want to achieve anything, improve anything, create anything, aspire to anything or help anybody. I just wanted to, no needed to, go somewhere and commence to recover.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Conversely, spending ample time around someone who is inherently upbeat, energized, purposeful, inspirational, motivational and continually aspiring to be better is a sure fire way for me to come away from the interaction feeling considerably more inspired and more empowered... that much more ready to believe in myself - and more committed to strive for my dreams and aspirations.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Well interestingly enough, it works in a similar fashion with exposure to low dosages of negativity or positivity on a steady basis. Negative comments, thoughts, perceptions, expectations, words and deeds will do nothing, over time, but limit your potential - and ultimately tear you down. Truly positive influences on the other hand, from wherever they come, such as motivational and inspirational books for instance, collectively can continuously challenge, encourage and motivate us - forever nudging us forward... forever reminding us that never has a home run been the outcome of either a timid or non-existent swing.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;The bottom line is life tends to play out much better when we have the ability to positively influence its outcome. And the most effective way to be that positive influence is to simply create a you that is continuously influenced by positivity. Do that and you can't help but be a more positive person. And if you are a more positive person, you can't help but be incrementally happier and more fulfilled in this life - even when a challenge or two finds you.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Here's the SomethingToShare signature motivational and inspirational passage, "Begin Anew" &lt;em&gt;(also featured in the inspirational book, "&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0931761255?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=inspbookofmot-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0931761255"&gt;The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me... Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential&lt;/a&gt;")&lt;/em&gt; to get you started. Read it, consider it, then read it again. For each time you read it, and anything else positive you can get your hands on - and dedicate the time and energy to absorb it... you can't help but have a little more perspective, and be a better person. And the world can't help but be a better place...&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/_je6_8YH8Bsk/R4Nl5X-8luI/AAAAAAAAAAc/xI0nfh8Jh-Y/s1600-h/magnet_new.jpg"&gt;&lt;img id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5153074435006961378" style="DISPLAY: block;

Inspirational Book: Is This The Book For You, Or A Loved One?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Believe it or not, at the point I was working on the subtitle for my motivational and inspirational book, “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once”, my perception was I needed to keep the subtitle as short as possible. Even more important to me however was that I provide the prospective reader with some sense of the potential impact that could come from this book with the unusual name. After working my way through a number of iterations &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;(a little more about that in a later post)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; I eventually settled in on “Stories and Perspective to Help Unlock Your Amazing Potential”. However, something still didn’t seem right. It didn’t take me long to realize what it was. I quickly made the correction and sent the final text off to the publisher – “Stories and Perspectives to Help &lt;u&gt;You&lt;/u&gt; Unlock Your Amazing Potential”. I know… what was I thinking? I had made the long subtitle for the book with the long title even longer. However, for good reason… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;This motivational and inspirational book isn’t about the kind of hype we are far too often bombarded with – and it’s not the place to find false promises about how instantly more successful, wealthy and popular you can magically expect to be. You shouldn’t expect any ‘whoo-hoo’ moments &lt;i&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-STYLE: italic"&gt;(more about that in a later post)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/i&gt; or the allure of some ancient and, until now, closely held set of absolutes which is ‘the secret’ to an unconditionally plentiful life. No… Compared to those approaches, I would say that the effective philosophical ideas and perspectives espoused in this uniquely uplifting, motivating and inspiring book are more closely aligned with the considerably simpler, very much more relevant and to the point, offering on a birthday card I purchased some time back. On the front of the card is a man stating that he had consulted with a very wise man and was prepared to share the answer to the age-old question of how to most effectively accomplish the much sought feat of living a long life. On the inside of the card – Keep breathing for as long as you possibly can.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;As a result, getting back to the modified subtitle, the original subtitle was missing the most critical ingredient - You. You see, for as much potential growth, opportunity, direction, promise and purpose I believe the book can ultimately help to foster in your life, as well as the lives of friends and loved ones – the bottom line is, without you… without your willingness to commit… to challenge and begin to replace ever comfortable, long-held perceptions, paradigms and thoughts that limit your forward progress (instead serving to only hold you back)… to implement the kind of new uplifting, forward-leaning, motivated, inspired and aspiring mindset that will begin to fundamentally forever change your perspective, and thus the scope of your very destiny… This book, or any other book for that matter, cannot change a thing.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;So, if you’re truly ready… If you have the capacity for an open mind and heart… “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once” is packed with life affirming stories and perspectives to help you begin to perceive things in a more productive and beneficial manner. So - what do you say? Are you ready to experience the kind of potential that awaits you within the pages of this uniquely motivational and inspirational book? Are you ready to alter your perspective and, as a result, begin to unlock your very own amazing potential?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Want to learn more?

What inspired message would be most beneficial for building the kind of foundation we would need to begin to make 2008 your year… and mine too?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Then I came across one of my inspirational stories (which, by the way, is featured in “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential”) – and upon a quick reread, I decided this should be the message. Why… Simply because I’m just wondering how many opportunities collectively we missed out on in 2007 simply because our perspectives weren’t open… because our paradigms and mind sets were limiting – and how much better 2007 could have been… Don’t get me wrong – 2007 was a pretty good year! But, how much more rewarding, happy and fulfilling could it have been?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Well, the simple fact is if we want 2008 to be the best year it can possibly be, we’ve got to maximize our options. And if we are going to maximize our options, we absolutely have to be open to all of the opportunities that come our way… in whatever shape, color or form they come in. If we can develop and maintain that perspective and approach throughout 2008, while every choice will not pan out, we’ll certainly be taking the necessary steps to stack the odds in our respective favors. And when the odds are stacked in our favor… how can 2008 be anything else but a great year? I know that’s my plan anyway. Enjoy…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;I Didn't Find What I Was Looking For...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;I didn't find what I was looking for... Those were the only words that comprised a recently received E-mail concerning SomethingToShare.com. Despite the diverse offering of inspirational material, and the extremely low cost of admission - it's peculiar that a tiny population of visitors have nothing to offer except negativity. Typically these individuals, armed with merely a quick visit to one of the many areas offered on the site and minimal comprehension - are perfectly eager to pass uninformed judgment.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;I remember the initial 'I didn't find what I was looking for' response, temporarily at least, invoked feelings of shock and confusion. Shortly thereafter however, I reasoned that being overly concerned with the tainted views of the few only served to devalue the heartfelt thoughts and praises of our many inspired visitors. And frankly, that wasn't an acceptable option. Attempting to gain some perspective on the most recent E-mail and how such a negative thought process is rendered however, a somewhat surprising realization occurred. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;First the background... A few months back, I heard a Motivational Speaker tell a story about a visit to the East Coast. Upon meeting a woman familiar with his work, he found himself in a friendly conversation. The woman, asked whether he found West Coast neighbors to be friendly. His response was "Well, I don't know... do you find people friendly on the East Coast?" "People here are terrific", replied the woman - "neighbors look out for each other, people are generally pleasant, it's a good place to live." To which the motivational speaker offered - "that's about what you would find on the West Coast."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Later that day, he found himself in a similar discussion with another woman curious about his perspective. When asked whether he found &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;California&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt; people to be friendlier than people on the East Coast - he asked whether she found East Coast people friendly. "No, not really... people here don't seem to have much interest in each other... they don't talk much... they don't seem to have much to do with each other", she replied. "That's about what you'll find on the West Coast", the Motivational Speaker indicated.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;How could his answer to both women be the same? To answer that question, we should first examine how two women, living in the same area, have completely opposite perspectives about their immediate environment. Could it be that their perceptions have little to do with the environment itself - and much to do with the perspective of each of the individuals?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;In the end, ultimately what life offers us is mostly influenced by what we are looking for... Be friendly and open yourself up to people - and they will be more likely to open up to you. Believe you are going to have a good day - and you greatly increase the probability you will. Look for the good in someone or something - and that's exactly what you will most often find.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Thus, as our perspectives are most often a reflection of our paradigms, I realized the author of the E-mail was in fact incorrect. In reality, he or she had found exactly what they were looking for - just as numerous positive individuals have, prompting such inspired testimonials about the site. The site content didn't change... just what people happen to be visiting it.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Essentially every day, and every situation, is ultimately a garbage in - garbage out scenario. What you get out of it is directly dependent on what you put in to it, psychologically... physically... spiritually. Thus, when the dust settles, the real message is inspiration can come, but only to those who would be inspired - others will find only words.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;And as each moment is what we make of it, I am going to forget about the one, focus on the many, conclude this article and enjoy the rest of my day.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Be inspired...&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Here’s hoping you will be looking for the right things when you find them in 2008…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Thanks for the time spent supporting this motivational and inspirational blog in 2007.

When we can begin to live our lives this way, we maximize our opportunities, our decisions and our ultimate outcomes. In other words, while there are no guarantees in life, we can most certainly via our respective perspectives, attitudes and choices begin to considerably increase our odds of success – and eventually even learn to actually stack life’s proverbial deck in our favor.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Frank and engaging life stories, poems and quotes are utilized to offer insight and a liberating brand of perspective to the reader fostering a real potential for greater direction, motivation, inspiration, happiness and fulfillment in your life. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Chapters such as 'Born To Lead', 'Perspective, It's Here Somewhere', ‘Playing With Passion’, 'Eventually, Death Visits Us All' and 'And Faith Ensues', provide the underlying structure for the wonderfully reflective, stimulating and uplifting collection of stories and perspectives shared in the book. Individually, the stories and perspectives will take you on a mental, spiritual and emotional journey – sometimes touching you, sometimes challenging you, sometimes daring you to believe. However, when considered with an open heart and mind collectively, the stories and perspectives can comprise a powerful and invaluable tool;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;ü&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT: 100% 'Times New Roman'"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;for permanently lifting your spirits&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;ü&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT: 100% 'Times New Roman'"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;for dismantling toxic and limiting thoughts &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;ü&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT: 100% 'Times New Roman'"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;for fortifying your faith&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;ü&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT: 100% 'Times New Roman'"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;for finding intended purpose &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;ü&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT: 100% 'Times New Roman'"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;for the empowerment of your dreams&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;ü&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT: 100% 'Times New Roman'"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;for appreciating the meaning of the past&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;ü&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT: 100% 'Times New Roman'"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;for continuously willing yourself forward&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in; TEXT-INDENT: -0.25in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Wingdings;"&gt;ü&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT: 100% 'Times New Roman'"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;for helping true happiness and fulfillment to reign&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;I believe you will find this motivational and inspirational book a refreshingly atypical approach to increasing awareness, growth, appreciation and passion in, and for, life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;But, you don’t have to just take my word for it… &lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/product/0931761255?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;tag=inspbookofmot-20&amp;amp;linkCode=as2&amp;amp;camp=1789&amp;amp;creative=9325&amp;amp;creativeASIN=0931761255"&gt;Click here to visit Amazon.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;img style="BORDER-RIGHT: medium none; BORDER-TOP: medium none; MARGIN: 0px; BORDER-LEFT: medium none; BORDER-BOTTOM: medium none" height="1" alt="" src="http://www.assoc-amazon.com/e/ir?t=inspbookofmot-20&amp;amp;l=as2&amp;amp;o=1&amp;amp;a=0931761255" width="1" border="0" /&gt; to see some of the inspiring reviews received thus far.

Besides… inspiration never gets old. Enjoy…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:Georgia;" &gt;A Little Faith&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;A recent newspaper article featured a story about a New Mexico mother who, last Christmas Eve, after being in a catatonic state for sixteen years, suddenly regained her consciousness - suddenly awoke to her loving awaiting family. As it turns out, she stopped breathing after suffering a blood clot in her lung during a Caesarian section. After resuscitation, doctors determined that brain damage had resulted from the lack of oxygen. This caused her to slip into a catatonic state - where she remained for well over a decade with no sign of communication. Yet on the Eve of Christmas, with no rhyme or reason, she blurted out to the attending nurse - "Don't do that". Since that incredible day she has been slowly but surely re-familiarizing herself with life again - getting to know her children… getting to know her friends… getting to know herself.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Two things struck me about this story. Most obvious of course, is the fact that the mother's sudden return after all these years is nothing short of miraculous. Every once in a while we are presented with a sign that there is something majestic out there… that our lives have meaning far beyond anything we can comprehend… Impressive too was the love and faith of her family... a family that refused to give up - or give in. A family that said no matter how long it takes, no matter the pain - we'll be there for you … we'll wait for you. This is the stuff that miracles are made of… proof that a lot of love and a little faith can go a long way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Book Antiqua;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:'Book Antiqua';"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;A little something to think about the next time it seems like the deck has been stacked against you. Have faith, be inspired and don’t give up. Life isn’t done with you yet…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Talk to you soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

Inspirational Book: The Gift of Inspiration&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Here’s a thought… Now that all your Christmas shopping is all wrapped up (or more accurately unwrapped), the Yuletide spirit is beginning to wane and most houseguests have made their respective ways in the direction of home – perhaps it’s time you do something special for you… a bit of a reward, of sorts, for all the generosity and goodwill you’ve shown. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;Alternately, perhaps there is an individual or two who, through noteworthy sentiment or deed, exhibited the kind of unadulterated spirit of the season that warmed the heart and made this holiday season so memorable and spiritually fulfilling. Imagine the feelings of joy and appreciation that would result from the unexpected presentation of a token of your heartfelt gratitude.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;If either scenario rings true or otherwise sounds like a worthwhile objective, then perhaps you should consider giving one of the best gifts of all… the gift of inspiration. For it is the gift that offers incremental benefit, each and every day... For example, if the chosen gift was an inspirational book with motivational stories and inspirational poems such as “&lt;a href="http://www.amazon.com/Nurse-Delivery-Room-Slapped-Me-Once/dp/0931761255/ref=pd_bbs_sr_1?ie=UTF8&amp;amp;s=books&amp;amp;qid=1198891996&amp;amp;sr=8-1"&gt;The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential&lt;/a&gt;”, a loved one or yourself could read a new passage or two daily… taking the time to fully absorb each passage for all it is worth… taking the time to let the perspective take you wherever, on that day, your mind and heart needed to go. Or, if your preference is for something of a more presentational manner, something to be proudly displayed and admired every day, the &lt;a href="http://stores.ebay.com/Inspirational-Book-and-Plaques"&gt;SomethingToShare Inspirational Plaques&lt;/a&gt; might be worth a look.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;So, as the so-called season for giving begins to wane, consider presenting yourself and/or a loved one with the optimal gift - the gift of inspiration. After all, it is the gift that will keep giving. And there’s absolutely no better way to create the positive momentum necessary to give 2008 the early makings of a great year.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Georgia;"&gt;

Inspirational Book: What’s In A Name?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;“The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once”, at first glance, probably sounds a little unorthodox as a title for a Self-help book. Which stands to reason since the book is pretty unorthodox in itself. You see the book is an inspirational book. And it is also a motivational book. So, when people ask me (paraphrasing of course) whether the book is inspirational from the standpoint of motivating readers to take charge of their lives, to overcome obstacles, to achieve and aspire to more and/or to become personally more confident, committed, focused and fulfilled… or is it inspirational from the standpoint of inspiring readers to fortify their faith in the Almighty, to find inner peace, to have greater spiritual awareness, to better understand self and one’s potential impact in the time we have and/or to become more Zen-inspired, finding the optimal balance between the internal and external – invariably my answer is yes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;In effect, the book is about life – and the balance necessary for us all to become more inspirational and motivational in the way we see ourselves, circumstances and events – and in the way we most often approach and respond to others. Ultimately the book is about the incredible potential for improvements we have the capability to make within our lives, on a day to day basis, to make today better than yesterday and tomorrow better than today… and developing the kind of enhanced perspective and attitude that fosters better decisions, better outcomes and enhanced happiness and fulfillment. And that most certainly makes “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help Unlock Your Amazing Potential” a pretty unorthodox inspirational book.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Taking us right back to the title itself… “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once”, as the first inspirational story in the book so colorfully lays out, represents the very first time in life that, for no apparent reason, and no apparent warning – life hits, slaps or kicks you. However, more importantly, what the story and this inspirational book as a whole emphasizes is - What are you ‘gonna do now?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;I’ll give you a hint. If you want to be the most effective… if you want to have some stake, and more critically, some influence of the path and direction the future takes… it begins with perspective and attitude, and ends with better decisions, and thus, better outcomes. It starts with instituting the mind set and behaviors that will have you first look up – then begin to get up. After all, the nurse in the delivery room may have slapped me… but it was only once.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;So, would you like to begin to institute the kind of perspective and real change in your life that can help you begin to see both yourself and the world around you in a new way that fosters considerably more opportunity and meaning? Well, have I got a motivational and inspirational book for you…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Each day, be inspired – then aspire to more…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Talk to you soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

           All the decorations and lights on the tree&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;But what the day was really about&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;            Was the multitude of gifts given to me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;I remember the words of my mother&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;

           That the meaning of the season was charity&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Years have passed, understanding is clearer&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;            Caring for friends and family I’ve come to see&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Christmas isn’t about the decoration and lights&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;            But about love inspired gifts that come from me&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And on this December 25&lt;sup&gt;th&lt;/sup&gt;, I can honestly say I know, with more certainty than ever before, that I am truly blessed. In part, because of the way events overall panned out… But even more, I believe, because of the perspective and attitude I’ve created and continuously strive to maintain, and the resulting decisions - this turned out to be a pretty incredible year. And because I wholeheartedly expect to continue to foster a mentality and existence empowered with passion, motivation, inspiration and the unquenchable need to aspire to more, there’s no reason to suspect anything less from the year to come.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And so this is the gift… the empowerment that comes with an uplifting perspective and enhanced attitude - leading to better decisions, more opportunistic outcomes, a better you and a better world, day by day… that I want to pass along to anyone who has a desire to improve. This is the gift that I want to pass on to everyone who wants to improve their lives… begin to identify their intended destinies… to begin to see the purpose and potential that is ours to grasp and utilize to improve and get the most out of each and every waking day. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;So, I ask you… What if your time in this place was intended to be more inspirational, more purposeful, happier and more fulfilled? What if the power to make it so, by in large, could be in your hands? What if? Wouldn’t that have the potential to be just about the greatest gift of all?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Merry Christmas, Happy Hanukah, Happy Kwanza and Happy Holidays… Be blessed, a little happier and a little more fulfilled this day - and the world will most definitely be a better place…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;

I woke up yesterday morning and decided it was time to break out the Christmas music. Okay… I know it’s a little late in the season for most - but what can I say? The Christmas Spirit hits… when it hits.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Perhaps, for me, it’s my very own personal psychological backlash on behalf of the unabashed, over-the-top mass commercialism, outlandish spending and the apparent lack of recognition for the true meaning of the season. Don’t mind me however. I guess my real problem is I’m just a tad bit nostalgic for the way things used to be - the caring… the tradition… the generosity… the authenticity… the goodwill… the sense of family, neighborliness and friendship… the wonder… the fascination… the timelessness… the simplicity… the love… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Or perhaps it’s simply my ever ascending age giving way to eternally flawed memories. I’d be willing to wager a little though, that some truth lies in my longing desire for the past. For instance, I can remember the Christmas many, many years ago when all I wanted was a Slinky. It was all I asked my parents for – and, largely ignoring other toys, all that I played with for the bulk of the day. Boy, I certainly went up and down the steps a few times that day. Somehow though, I have difficulty envisioning that happening with the kids, and the kind of gifts expected, today.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Just the same… The Christmas Spirit is upon me. And in a few hours, when I head out to finish up my shopping – perhaps I’ll come across an occasion or two to, through some simple and charitable deed, do my part to remind a few other last minute shoppers of what the Christmas season used to be all about. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And for those of you reading this who do celebrate the season – I dug up one of my earlier passages on the topic. Take a few seconds and consider the following… what Christmas is, what it was - and what we truly want it to be about… &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;This &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Holiday&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt; Season …&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;We celebrate the birth of the Son&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The revival of our spirit for giving&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The rejuvenation of love for mankind&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And the rekindled essence of living&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;We give thanks for the blessings bestowed&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;For friends and family, whose love we hold dear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;For health, physical, emotional and spiritual&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And economic stability throughout the year &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;In that Spirit let’s pledge the gift of kindness &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;On behalf of someone not otherwise known&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Inspired with the love signified by the birth&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;An act where the real spirit of Christmas is shown&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 1in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Merry Christmas!&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And the world will be a better place…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;D Anthony&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;Inspirational Author and Motivator&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Author of “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Founder of &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;STSTheBook.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;

that time is the one thing  that we all battle against.&amp;nbsp; We never seem to have enough time to do the  things that need to be done.&amp;nbsp; There are 24 hours in every day that we walk  the planet.&amp;nbsp; Within those 24 hours, are precious reminders that we are  running out of time.&amp;nbsp; We can seem to find the time to make excuses about  not having enough time, but in all acutality, we really do have the time, we  just don't make the time.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;In dealing with all types of people on the  internet, there seems to be a common thread amongst them all.&amp;nbsp; They talk  about wanting to start an online business of some kind.&amp;nbsp; The spend hundreds  and thousands of dollars in the pursuance of this idea, but in all actuality,  have they really explored the core of the program, and are they willing to do  whatever is necessary to build this business?&amp;nbsp; I would wholeheartedly  answer no.&amp;nbsp; I will give you my reasons for this below.&amp;nbsp; They seem to  struggle and strain with the time factor.&amp;nbsp; When I ask them this question,  "so what have you done today to build your business on Google?"&amp;nbsp; Their  answer is most likely, well, I really didn't have time to write the article like  I know that I should have.&amp;nbsp; I really did not have time to work on learning  all that I could learn about the program I am trying to promote.&amp;nbsp; I really  did not have the time to learn the necessary things that I need to make money  online.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;Interesting points to be made here.&amp;nbsp; We all  have NO time, but in fact, we have ALL the time that we need in any given day to  pursue whatever we want to pursue.&amp;nbsp; How long does it really take to write a  small keyword specific article about your program?&amp;nbsp; How long does it take  to pull up your webpage and really dig deep into the product or service that you  are promoting?&amp;nbsp; How long does it take to actually learn to become an  internet professional?&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;The answer to these questions is simple.&amp;nbsp; It  takes as long as it takes.&amp;nbsp; If you think that you don't have the time to  learn, youi won't.&amp;nbsp; If you think that you don't have the time to write, you  won't.&amp;nbsp; If you think that you don't have the time to become an expert in  your online business, then you certainly will not have the success that you  claim that you want.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;Progress in any endeavor that you choose takes time  to develop.&amp;nbsp; You must arrange your thinking to be in direct relation to the  events to happen that you are hoping and praying for.&amp;nbsp; Hope is planning to  fail.&amp;nbsp; Prayer is begging for something that you already possess.&amp;nbsp; God  grants us all 24 hours in this day to do with however we want.&amp;nbsp; That is the  gift.&amp;nbsp; The whole problem begins with the way that you think.&amp;nbsp; Unless  you unlearn negative and self-defeating self talk, you will never experience  anything but the negative.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;In closing, I have developed over the years of  visualizing what I consider to be the perfect prayer.&amp;nbsp; I take time to say  this prayer often through the day.&amp;nbsp; Its a simple prayer, that tells exactly  my thought processes at any given point in time that I choose.&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;Here is my perfect prayer.&amp;nbsp; "&lt;STRONG&gt;Thank You  for My Possibilities!"&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;Take time to develop the habit of success, not  failure.&amp;nbsp; Take time to develop your business into the plan that will take  you to a new level of success.&amp;nbsp; Take time to learn the specific techniques  and strategies that you need to become successful with a business.&amp;nbsp; After  all, you have the time.&amp;nbsp; Now, its up to you to take that time and turn into  a productuve and meaningful time.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Butch Hamilton-SEO Master-MOM, Predator and  Jaguar Marketing Director&lt;BR&gt;806-874-3314&lt;BR&gt;806-205-0648&lt;BR&gt;fax  806-874-0036&lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;A  href="http://superior-seo-services.com"&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;http://superior-seo-services.com&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;

&lt;TABLE cellSpacing=1 cellPadding=3 width="90%" align=center border=0&gt;   &lt;TBODY&gt;   &lt;TR&gt;     &lt;TD class=quote&gt;I found some interesting Google search results this        morning for the keyword term web conferencing. I will start out with the        keyword &lt;A class=postlink        href="http://www.google.com/search?q=web+conferencing+resources&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;start=10&amp;amp;sa=N"        target=_blank&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#9154b4&gt;web        conferencing resources&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. This result is holding page one        for the &lt;A class=postlink        href="http://butchhamiltons-search-engine-optimize.blogspot.com/2007/10/web-conferencing-resources_21.html"        target=_blank&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;FONT        color=#9154b4&gt;blog&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt; I have going. This clearly indicates        the validity and the power of blogging to gain search engine recognition.        &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The next keyword phrase I found was &lt;A class=postlink        href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;rls=GGLJ,GGLJ:2006-37,GGLJ:en&amp;amp;sa=X&amp;amp;oi=spell&amp;amp;resnum=0&amp;amp;ct=result&amp;amp;cd=1&amp;amp;q=interactive+web+conferencing&amp;amp;spell=1"        target=_blank&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;FONT        color=#9154b4&gt;interactive web conferencing&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. This        particular position, I have nailed three or four positions on page one. As        a matter of fact, I am nearing the top on this keyword with, you guessed        it, another &lt;A class=postlink        href="http://butchhamiltonveretekk.biz/2007/12/15/interactivewebconferencing.aspx"        target=_blank&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#9154b4&gt;blog        post&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. With this particular blog, I host it on my own        server; however, clearly indicating again, the power of blogging. Its        really amazing to watch the process of seo unfold on Google. The constant        ebb and flow of the internet is intriguing, and my passion for seo        continues to rise each time a position is obtained. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The next        keyword phrase would be &lt;A class=postlink        href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;amp;q=free+web+conferencing+service"        target=_blank&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#9154b4&gt;free web        conferencing service&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. The interesting part of this        keyword is that I just approached this less than a week ago, and already        have page one on Google for another &lt;A class=postlink        href="http://butchhamiltonveretekk.biz/2007/12/19/freewebconferencingservice.aspx"        target=_blank&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;FONT color=#9154b4&gt;blog        post&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/A&gt;. While Vereconference is really not a free web        conferencing system per sae, the signup is free, and unlimited signups are        available to try the system fully to see if its a fit for a particular        business. &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;These results I am writing about this morning are in        real-time, so its important to realize that Google is an ever changing        dynamic system. You may not see the same results as you click through.        These are only a few of the results for the seo campaign for        Vereconference. The journey continues towards the top of the major player        known as web conferencing. This is a high traffic keyword, and the major        players in that realm have unlimited resources to assist them with their        online promotions. I guess you could say that buying a keyword position on        Google is entirely possible, even with so-called organic    positions.&lt;/TD&gt;&lt;/TR&gt;&lt;/TBODY&gt;&lt;/TABLE&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;SPAN class=postbody&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;Even though the big players of web conferencing have the most  money, I know for a fact that Vereconference has the best web conferencing  service. I do not say this in an advertising way. I have done the comparative  analysis by signing up for each of the major web conferencing systems. I have  not found even one that comes close to Vereconference in terms of form,  functionality and pricing.&amp;nbsp; Vereconferencing is soon going to reach  organizations where communications are an integral part of the overall scope of  their online business.&lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;The art and science of obtaining top positions on  Google continues with interactive posting of keyword specific articles  concerning web conferencing, interactive web conferencing, free web conferencing  and webinars.&amp;nbsp; I will add more results as they become available.&amp;nbsp; For  more web conferencing, please visit:&amp;nbsp; &lt;A  href="http://webconferenceroom.net"&gt;http://webconferenceroom.net&lt;/A&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A href="http://vereconference.com/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#680099&gt;http://vereconference.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A  href="http://webconferencingresources.net/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#680099&gt;http://webconferencingresources.net&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A  href="http://freewebconferencingservice.com/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#680099&gt;http://freewebconferencingservice.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt; &lt;BR&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;A  href="http://webconferencingresources.biz/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#680099&gt;http://webconferencingresources.biz&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;BR&gt;_________________&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;BR&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Butch Hamilton-SEO Master-Head Vereconference Master  Distributor &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;A  href="mailto:butchhamilton.webroom@info.trafficwave.net"&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#680099&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;butchhamilton.webroom@info.trafficwave.net&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;  &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;A href="http://butchhamilton.com/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#680099&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;http://butchhamilton.com&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;  &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;A href="http://butchhamilton.linkscout.com/" target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#680099&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;http://butchhamilton.linkscout.com&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;  &lt;BR&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;A href="http://blogfather.net/blogs/bf_webconferencing.xml"  target=_blank&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#680099&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;http://blogfather.net/blogs/bf_webconferencing.xml&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5678221109101101814-5692810106576274026?l=inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/feeds/5692810106576274026/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5678221109101101814&amp;postID=5692810106576274026&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/5692810106576274026'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/5692810106576274026'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/2007/12/web-conferencing-results.html' title='Web Conferencing:  Results'/><author><name>D Anthony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17376042642410422431</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678221109101101814.post-4648491825125141433</id><published>2007-12-21T23:38:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-23T00:55:54.954-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Inspirational Book by D Anthony</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="Section1"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;About A Motivational &amp;amp; Inspirational Book: Time For A Change?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;At this point in your existence, does your life seem to have purpose? Are you well on the road to achieving the kinds of things you always wanted to? Do the words meaningful and fulfilling describe many of your endeavors? Do you really like, and are you truly proud of, the person you’ve become? If change is desired, do you have a viable plan to begin to implement it? Can you see a realistic probability for true happiness and fulfillment in your future? And finally, do you currently buy into the belief that a considerably more motivated and inspired outlook and significantly improved results is a viable outcome for you?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Is your honest answer to any of the previous questions… no? Is the reality that your answer to most if not all of the questions is no. If so, don’t think for a moment that you’re alone. The simple truth is often times in life, especially in these hectic times and days of immediate gratification, we get so caught up in running around, attempting to check off all the things we’ve come to associate with living – that we forget we’re actually supposed to be alive. But the good news is it doesn’t have to continue to be that way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Take a look at the following…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="MARGIN-LEFT: 0.5in"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;There simply has to be more to life than the here and now, more than worrying about bills, the job, schedules, and acquiring more possessions. Life is supposed to be more than the hustle and bustle, more than the daily grind of merely making it through each individual day until there are no more. Our days are supposed to be rooted in more meaningful and lasting pursuits like purpose, charity, faith, happiness, and fulfillment. We are here to make a difference. In "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once", you will find stories and perspectives that will help unlock your amazing potential—potential to foster monumental change in yourself and the people around you.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;These are the words you’ll find on the back cover of a pretty fascinating, insightful and uplifting book, “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential”. Inside you will find stories and perspectives that will challenge, inspire and motivate you to begin to perceive, see, define and respond to your circumstances in very different, and significantly more effective, ways. And if you are willing to truly commit to the message, to yourself and to your future… My belief is you will find that beginning to turn things around in your life, day by day, just may be much more feasible than you ever thought.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;But, I’m getting ahead of myself. In the coming days and weeks I will be providing much more detail about what “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once” is all about… what the message is, what the message is not, excerpts from the inspirational book and reviews that will help motivate you to give a new outlook a chance. So, stay tuned…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Or better yet, if you want to jump ahead of the class you can visit &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;http://www.ststhebook.com/&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;.

And as the namesake implies, the true magnitude and potential of our efforts is ultimately contingent on the extent to which we are all willing to share - share our feelings... our experiences... our insights... our inspiration... our growth… our dreams… our potential. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;So, what about you? What are your hopes... your fears? What causes your biggest smiles... your heaviest tears? Do you take time out from the hustle and bustle of life every once in a while to examine your priorities... to challenge your perspective... to question your destiny? Do your loved ones truly know that they are? What is the one thing that you wish you could do to make an impact in this life? Exactly what's stopping you from getting started?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;We must realize that in the end what matters in this life is not what we could have done - but what we do. And no matter how much we tell ourselves that we cannot make a difference, the truth is each day each one of us can make a difference in someway… for someone. After all, it doesn't take a lot to make a difference - just a little time and a little concern as the following passage so eloquently illustrates;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#999999;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;Starfish&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;, (an interpretation), Author: Unknown&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;A young girl, vacationing with her family, arose early with excitement. Today was the much touted Starfish Day - a day full of festivities beginning with the collection of Starfish souvenirs. Excited, the young girl's early arrival to stake her claim was interrupted by something further down the beach. A quarter mile away there appeared to be a figure repeatedly throwing something into the ocean. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;As the young girl approached, she asked what the woman was doing. The woman replied, "high tide has washed all of these Starfish up on shore and they will die if I do not save them." In disbelief the young girl countered, "you can't be serious... there are hundreds and hundreds of Starfish along the beach... you can't save them... what difference could you possibly make?" &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;With this the woman picked up a Starfish, threw it especially hard against the waves. Then turning to the young girl she offered, "I definitely made a difference in that one's life - didn't I?"&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;A little later as the guests filed out of the hotel, they were perplexed to see two figures down the beach repeatedly tossing something into the ocean.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:#999999;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:#999999;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Without a doubt, we have the capability to make a difference each and every day... for the people we know and those we will never know. Selfless deeds and inspirational words have a way of taking on a life of their own - many times fostering generations of other selfless deeds and inspirational words in their wake. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;So make a positive impact, no matter how big or how small, every chance you get. Whether you bring laughter to someone in the midst of losing all perspective or offer hope where there is a short supply... whether you sacrifice for someone in their hour of need or simply try to appreciate a different point of view with your paradigms freed... whether you pay for the next car at the toll booth or choose, on a daily basis, find ways to inspire, encourage and motivate yourself, your family and friends... Whatever you choose to do, make even a small difference on this day and the next…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And the world will be a better place…&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Talk to you soon.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;D Anthony&lt;br /&gt;Inspirational Author and Motivator&lt;br /&gt;Author of “The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once”&lt;br /&gt;Founder of &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;STSTheBook.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt; and &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.somethingtoshare.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;strong&gt;SomethingToShare.com&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:georgia;font-size:78%;"  &gt;© 2007 D-Rose Productions, All Rights Reserved&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:Times New Roman;font-size:100%;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size:12;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5678221109101101814-3677106744141103501?l=inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='related' href='http://www.ststhebook.com' title='Inspirational Book by D Anthony'/><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/feeds/3677106744141103501/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5678221109101101814&amp;postID=3677106744141103501&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/3677106744141103501'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/3677106744141103501'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/2007/12/inspirational-book-by-d-anthony_18.html' title='Inspirational Book by D Anthony'/><author><name>D Anthony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17376042642410422431</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678221109101101814.post-8855582964906642169</id><published>2007-12-17T09:52:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-17T11:37:58.905-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Inspirational Book by D Anthony</title><content type='html'>&lt;div class="Section1"&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;Motivational &amp;amp; Inspirational Stories: Feed the Bear&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Recently I found myself endeavoring to better understand the actions of a couple co-workers (from my ‘day job’). Although slightly different in their approaches, they shared some rather obvious characteristics – seemingly very much foreign to me. It was easy to see that both were very much rooted a ‘me first’ mentality – each willing to do whatever was needed to ensure they looked good to management, each, whenever perceived necessary, just as willing, seasoned and comfortable with backstabbing and discrediting undeserving innocents along the way. As I rounded out my quick comparison of the two, it further occurred to me that they also shared a seemingly less than ingenuous inherent concern that the task at hand, or initiative itself, be either successfully executed or flawless in effort. Instead, their apparent concerns were only that their associated decisions and actions be perceived that way… that whenever the proverbial lights were on, management inferred their efforts as the most results-based and commanding. It wasn’t about the quality of the mission so much as their relative position in comparison to other employees, when the ‘cameras were rolling’.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Having seen the results of their predatory traits numerous times before… having witnessed the easily discernable drop off of concern and diligence once anyone immediately capable of boosting their respective careers were no longer in earshot – on this particular day I found myself wondering. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Regretfully, it occurred to me that these two individuals, by no means, had the market cornered in this arena – and this most definitely was not merely a corporate thing. The unfortunate truth is on a daily basis, in everyday life, the results of this ‘Me First’ mentality can be readily found. For instance coming out of the market one day, there was a middle-aged gentleman who obviously had the job of collecting the carts from the parking lot. Part of the job, no doubt, was to clean the assorted debris out of the carts before returning them to the store – as I witnessed him diligently retrieving the loose scraps left behind by departed store customers. What I found astonishing was that every loose piece of trash from the carts he retrieved, in a non-accidental manner, ended up in a new resting place - littered across the parking grounds. Apparently, keeping the store’s parking area free of debris wasn’t listed in his job description… apparently, neither was consideration for whoever would eventually be tasked with cleaning up the parking area or any negative customer impressions and/or impacts until clean-up time arrived.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;What was the mindset that provoked each of these people, and so many others, to live mired in such a self-absorbed fashion… and such a self-serving way? What was the thinking… the psychological wiring… that allowed some to be so concerned with only self – while caring little about things such meaningful concepts like the bigger picture, content of character, quality of work, legitimacy of effort - and simply not being the type that, for personal interests, has a propensity to willingly throw someone else under the bus?&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;It was at that point that I recalled a scene from a movie – originally derived, I believe, from an old joke… Two friends are in the wilderness, upon which they both notice a bear coming towards them. One of the men immediately begins to feverishly work to get his sneakers securely on his feet. The second man asks - “What are you doing… do you really think you can outrun a bear?” The first man looks up at his friend and responds – “I don’t have to outrun the bear… only you.”&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Perhaps, I considered, there are simply two types of people in this world… those who live their lives like the first friend in the joke – and those who do not… those who could readily sacrifice a stranger or a friend if the ends had the potential to be personally advantageous – and those who simply weren’t wired that way. Then, I reconsidered; perhaps it’s a little more complicated, and a little less black and white, than that. Perhaps we all have the capacity to and do, from time to time, on at least some level, make self-centered statements and decisions – and/or behave in a manner that would suggest the outcome as it effects others is meaningless or irrelevant. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And perhaps, in the end, being a truly happy and fulfilled being is about striving to minimize the instances where we allow ourselves, regardless of the place or circumstances, to stoop to that level… striving instead to accomplish, persevere and achieve in a manner that doesn’t require sacrificing another. For when we willingly sacrifice others for our own gain, in reality it is our own content of character that takes the biggest hit of all.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;So, feed the bear… if you must. Just endeavor to find an approach that doesn’t require you to serve up yourself or a friend – and, for that matter, any innocent bystanders. Because everything in life is much sweeter, and true happiness and fulfillment is only attainable when your content of character remains in tact.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal" style="TEXT-ALIGN: center" align="center"&gt;&lt;span style="color:silver;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;color:silver;"&gt;***&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold;font-family:georgia;" &gt;An Inspirational and Motivational Place&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;And thus begins the blog writing component of my humble existence. After creating, administering and serving as he primary contributor for eight year old, ever popular inspirational website, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.somethingtoshare.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;SomethingToShare.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;, progressing the message further with the publishing of my first motivational and inspirational book, “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;” and rolling out the accompanying inspirational and motivational website, &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;STSTheBook.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;, where you can find inspired book reviews, inspirational stories and other uplifting excerpts, and just about any other detail about the book – and how this particular inspirational book can make a difference in your life and the lives of the people you love… This article marks the commencement of my efforts to bring a similar brand of motivation, inspiration, insight and perspective to the Blogosphere.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Sometimes the message might be in the form of a nugget of wisdom intended to help you to increase awareness, challenge the status quo and/or widely assumed constraints, consider your power to change, slow down sometimes to appreciate the wonder of the ride and scenery, strive for purpose and seek your intended destiny – and/or to continuously migrate in the direction of whatever brings you happiness and fulfillment. And sometimes the message might be simply a reminder that obtaining the things we truly desire is often times a factor of the extent to which we are willing to play nice and sometimes share the things we’ve got.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;We will discuss the power of inspiration, passion, motivation, individuality and believing in self. We will discuss the value of time. Inspirational, motivational and generally positively intentioned thoughts, acts, people, websites, stories, poems, quotes and influences will be highlighted. Beneficial elements of my inspirational and motivational book, “&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once: Stories and Perspectives to Help You Unlock Your Amazing Potential&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;” will be highlighted – as will similarly uplifting offerings from &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.somethingtoshare.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;SomethingToShare.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt; and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.ststhebook.com/"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;STSTheBook.com&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;, as well.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;Expect honesty. Expect frank opinion. Expect passion. Expect a little emotion. Expect much motivation. Expect even more inspiration, Expect light topics. Expect topics that are pretty heavy. Expect some paradigms and perspective to be challenged. Expect lots of questions - and perhaps an occasional answer or two. Expect a little of everything. Then open your mind and heart – and see how the message uplifts you and how much farther together we have the potential to go.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p class="MsoNormal"&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:georgia;"&gt;So, are you ready for a regular injection of fresh perspective and empowering inspiration?

&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt; &lt;P&gt;Well, the real questions are who is D Anthony, why am I on a quest to make a  difference in the world and what does this inspirational book (with the weird  title) really have to offer? First, it might help to know a little of the  background…&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;While seemingly always possessing an insatiable need to not only pose the  difficult, challenging questions, but to endeavor to answer them - it was a  single dramatically life-altering event that would first crystallize the  foundation for many of the very much atypical themes, insight and perspective so  richly interwoven throughout the pages of my very first book.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;From that devastating untimely demise of my beloved mother… from the  overwhelming heartache and sense of bewilderment, the catalyst of intense  questioning about validity of purpose and the relevance of faith… from the  entirely selfish need to simply have living begin to matter again – eventually a  new, considerably more selfless destiny, would begin to emerge. In time,  discontent would become renewed purpose and disillusionment reinvigorated  passion – passion to get the most out of this life and to aspire to my true  intended destiny… passion to encourage all who can, and will, dare to dream to  discover and strive for their very own unique and incredible version of the  same.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;It is with that resolve that I launched and continue to grow the highly  inspiring and uplifting website, SomethingToShare.com - as an insightful respite  from the unchecked stress and spiritual drain that too often defines our day to  day existence, a haven for perspective and a place to inspire. It is with that  resolve that, through much of the same heartwarming and engaging style popular  with website guests, my latest offering, "The Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped  Me… Once", endeavors to take the next step; offering an empowering, optimistic  and highly effective brand of perspective, charging all to recognize and nullify  long-held, counterproductive limiting thoughts, paradigms and self-doubt… and  challenging us all to find and reclaim our dreams… our aspirations… our true  happiness… our fulfillment… our very purpose for being here.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;The "Nurse in the Delivery Room Slapped Me… Once" represents D Anthony's  initial offering in a planned inspirational, motivational and enlightening  series.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Each Day, be inspired – then aspire to more…&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;D Anthony, Inspirational Author and  Motivator&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;A  href="http://ststhebook.com"&gt;http://ststhebook.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;A  href="http://somethingtoshare.com"&gt;http://somethingtoshare.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;A  href="http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.com"&gt;http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.com&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;A  href="http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.net"&gt;http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.net&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&lt;SPAN style="FONT-WEIGHT: bold"&gt;&lt;/SPAN&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt;&lt;div class="blogger-post-footer"&gt;&lt;img width='1' height='1' src='https://blogger.googleusercontent.com/tracker/5678221109101101814-4498645951515846121?l=inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com' alt='' /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;</content><link rel='replies' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/feeds/4498645951515846121/comments/default' title='Post Comments'/><link rel='replies' type='text/html' href='http://www.blogger.com/comment.g?blogID=5678221109101101814&amp;postID=4498645951515846121&amp;isPopup=true' title='0 Comments'/><link rel='edit' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/4498645951515846121'/><link rel='self' type='application/atom+xml' href='http://www.blogger.com/feeds/5678221109101101814/posts/default/4498645951515846121'/><link rel='alternate' type='text/html' href='http://inspirationalpoemsandbooks.blogspot.com/2007/12/d-anthony-inspirational-author-and.html' title='D Anthony:  Inspirational Author and Motivator'/><author><name>D Anthony</name><uri>http://www.blogger.com/profile/17376042642410422431</uri><email>noreply@blogger.com</email><gd:image rel='http://schemas.google.com/g/2005#thumbnail' width='16' height='16' src='http://img2.blogblog.com/img/b16-rounded.gif'/></author><thr:total>0</thr:total></entry><entry><id>tag:blogger.com,1999:blog-5678221109101101814.post-2376224036570768727</id><published>2007-12-16T23:13:00.000-05:00</published><updated>2007-12-16T23:09:38.585-05:00</updated><title type='text'>Inspirational Book</title><content type='html'>&lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=4&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Inspirational Book&lt;/STRONG&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;The inspirational book "The Nurse in the Delivery  Room Slapped Me...Once" is beginning to be seen as&amp;nbsp;a powerful medium where  D Anthony, noted inspirational and motivation author, conveys his knowledge and  expertise into the art of living well.&amp;nbsp; His experiences have led him into  the incredible life journey as only set backs and disappointments can do.&amp;nbsp;  STSTheBook.com is making page&amp;nbsp;two on &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;A  href="http://www.google.com/search?q=inspirational+book&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;rls=GGLJ,GGLJ:2006-37,GGLJ:en&amp;amp;start=10&amp;amp;sa=N"&gt;&lt;FONT  color=#ff0000&gt;Google&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt; for inspirational book at this  time.&amp;nbsp; This is clear evidence that the search engines see this valuable  information to readers of inspirational material.&amp;nbsp; Here is an excerpt from  the home page of STSTheBook.com&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;"This is a book of potential, faith, purpose, hopes and dreams.  This is a book about the importance of time, the power of choice, growth,  toughening up and having a heart, commitment, passion, and inspiration. This is  a book that considers the ups and downs, life, and death – and what it all  means. More than anything however, this is a book that considers a journey's  impact, a life-long quest for meaning, happiness and fulfillment, and the  resulting stories, perspectives, and lessons that I have collected along the  way.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;As it turns out, somehow in the midst of years of just trying to  survive the excruciating heartache, disheartenment and sorrow that come with  having someone you love with all your heart taken away. Life began to take on a  whole new meaning for me. I realized that life is fleeting. I realized that  whether we utilize our time wisely, whether we believe in ourselves, whether we  challenge our fears, whether we endeavor to reach for our dreams and  aspirations, whether we strive to make a difference - one thing is certain: the  sand will continue to fall through the hourglass, and one day will soon become  the next.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;So, in the time we have here, why wouldn't we choose to spend that  time purposefully, striving for that which matters? Why wouldn't we want to live  our lives dedicated to experiencing every bit of true happiness and fulfillment  we could possibly acquire?&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;Perhaps you doubt that "true happiness and fulfillment" really  exist, having long ago accepted these concepts as trumped-up illusions treasured  only by people not living in the real world. A story comes to mind. Years ago,  in passing, I asked a young boy how he was. He answered that he was doing "good"  because he didn't have to go to school that day, continuing that he didn't like  school and wished he were done. I asked him whether he realized the importance  of school, adding that if he got good grades he could be anything he wanted to  be. I asked if he could be anything, what he would choose. He responded, "You  mean like a bus driver?"&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;Don't get me wrong, a bus driver is a perfectly honorable and  respectable profession. I think the boy was working with a very limited  perspective about his universe of options.&amp;nbsp; His thought process wasn't  along the lines of: &lt;EM&gt;not interested in becoming a CEO, judge, doctor,  astronaut, or a governor… I think I want to be a bus driver&lt;/EM&gt;. He simply  wasn't aware he had so many other options. Sound familiar? &lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;Perhaps your perspective is, after years of trying, that true  happiness and fulfillment just isn't within you. Since I have a hard time  believing that the Almighty indiscriminately gifted some of us with a  magnificent, destiny-defining spark, and did not gift countless others, my  suspicion is that we all have the potential within us. It's just a matter, for  some, of unlocking the door so that the potential can be released.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;I'd like to think that, so many years ago, having presented that  young boy with a more opportunistic outlook and additional career options, that  he went on to improve his life. I'd also like to think that the stories and  perspectives in this book will help unlock your amazing new potential and very  own unique and winning mindset.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P align=left&gt;Make no mistake about it, we are all interconnected and most  everything has purpose. What I do today has impact on your tomorrow. And what  you do tomorrow has impact on others and me the following day—for good or bad.  My mother was called home &lt;EM&gt;yesterday&lt;/EM&gt;. &lt;EM&gt;Today&lt;/EM&gt; I wrote, and you're  reading, this book. And if your heart and mind are open, if you possess a  willingness to consider, embrace and incorporate – then happiness and  fulfillment can be yours and we can all look forward to a brighter  &lt;EM&gt;tomorrow&lt;/EM&gt;."&lt;/P&gt;

&lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;In this article, I am going to discuss the issue of  wasting time, and how to utilize fully the 24 hours that you have before you  when you arise from your slumber.&amp;nbsp; There are many articles written on how  to leverage your time and efforts more effectively.&amp;nbsp; There are even keyword  categories on Google that represent millions of pieces of information picked up  by the spiders, ever second of every day.&amp;nbsp; I am going to share with you  some ideas that may help you in getting a better grasp on the realities of  making money online.&amp;nbsp; You may or may not agree with me.&amp;nbsp; It really  makes no difference.&amp;nbsp; I am here to state my case.&amp;nbsp; Take the  information and use it to your distinct advantage, or simply continue doing what  you are doing now, and have no success at all.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;Butch Hamilton-SEO Master-MOM, Predator and Jaguar  Marketing Director.&amp;nbsp; &lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;I like to turn to  Wikidpedia, for more relevant insightful information concerning different  topics.&amp;nbsp;&amp;nbsp;This brief overview of time will provide a segway into my  presentation of wasting time.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;P&gt;"There are two distinct views on the meaning of the word  &lt;I&gt;&lt;B&gt;time&lt;/B&gt;&lt;/I&gt;.&amp;nbsp; One view is that time is part of the fundamental  structure of the &lt;A title=Universe  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Universe"&gt;universe&lt;/A&gt;, a &lt;A title=Dimension  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Dimension"&gt;dimension&lt;/A&gt; in which events  occur in &lt;A title=Sequence  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sequence"&gt;sequence&lt;/A&gt;, and time itself is  something that can be measured. This is the &lt;A title="Philosophical realism"  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophical_realism"&gt;realist&lt;/A&gt;'s view, to  which &lt;A title="Sir Isaac Newton"  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Sir_Isaac_Newton"&gt;Sir Isaac Newton&lt;/A&gt;  subscribed, and hence is sometimes referred to as &lt;A title="Newtonian time"  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Newtonian_time"&gt;Newtonian time&lt;/A&gt;.&lt;SUP  class=reference id=_ref-0&gt;&lt;A title=""  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time#_note-0"&gt;[1]&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SUP&gt;&amp;nbsp; A  contrasting view is that time is part of the fundamental human intellectual  structure (together with &lt;A title=Space  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Space"&gt;space&lt;/A&gt; and &lt;A title=Number  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Number"&gt;number&lt;/A&gt;) within which we sequence  events, &lt;A title=Quantity  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Quantity"&gt;quantify&lt;/A&gt; the duration of events  and the intervals between them, and compare the &lt;A title="Motion (physics)"  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Motion_%28physics%29"&gt;motions&lt;/A&gt; of objects.  In this second view, time does not refer to any kind of entity that "flows",  that objects "move through", or that is a "container" for events. This view is  in the tradition of &lt;A title="Gottfried Leibniz"  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gottfried_Leibniz"&gt;Gottfried Leibniz&lt;/A&gt;&lt;SUP  class=reference id=_ref-1&gt;&lt;A title=""  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time#_note-1"&gt;[2]&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SUP&gt; and &lt;A  title="Immanuel Kant" href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Immanuel_Kant"&gt;Immanuel  Kant&lt;/A&gt;,&lt;SUP class=reference id=_ref-2&gt;&lt;A title=""  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time#_note-2"&gt;[3]&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SUP&gt;&lt;SUP  class=reference id=_ref-3&gt;&lt;A title=""  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time#_note-3"&gt;[4]&lt;/A&gt;&lt;/SUP&gt; in which time,  rather than being an objective thing to be measured, is part of the measuring  system used by humans.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;In &lt;A title=Physics href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Physics"&gt;physics&lt;/A&gt;,  time and space are considered &lt;A title="Fundamental unit"  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Fundamental_unit"&gt;fundamental quantities&lt;/A&gt;  (i.e. they cannot be defined in terms of other quantities because other  quantities – such as &lt;A title=Velocity  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Velocity"&gt;velocity&lt;/A&gt;, &lt;A title=Force  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Force"&gt;force&lt;/A&gt;, &lt;A title=Energy  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Energy"&gt;energy&lt;/A&gt;, etc – are already defined  in terms of them). Thus the only definition possible is an &lt;A  title="Operational definition"  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Operational_definition"&gt;operational&lt;/A&gt; one,  in which time is defined by the process of &lt;A title=Measurement  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Measurement"&gt;measurement&lt;/A&gt; and by the &lt;A  title=Unit href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Unit"&gt;units&lt;/A&gt; chosen.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Periodic events and periodic motion have long served as standards for units  of time. Examples are the apparent motion of the sun across the sky, the phases  of the moon, the swing of a pendulum, heartbeats, etc. Currently, the unit of  time interval (the &lt;A title=Second  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Second"&gt;second&lt;/A&gt;) is defined as a certain  number of &lt;A title=Hyperfine  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hyperfine"&gt;hyperfine&lt;/A&gt; transitions in &lt;A  title=Cesium href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Cesium"&gt;Cesium&lt;/A&gt; atoms (see  below).&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Time has long been a major subject of &lt;A title=Science  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Science"&gt;science&lt;/A&gt;, &lt;A title=Philosophy  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Philosophy"&gt;philosophy&lt;/A&gt;, and &lt;A title=Art  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Art"&gt;art&lt;/A&gt;. Its measurement has occupied  scientists and &lt;A title=Technologist  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Technologist"&gt;technologists&lt;/A&gt;, and was a  prime motivation in &lt;A title=Astronomy  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Astronomy"&gt;astronomy&lt;/A&gt;. Time is also of  significant social importance, having economic value ("&lt;A  title="Time value of money"  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Time_value_of_money"&gt;time is money&lt;/A&gt;") as  well as personal value, due to an &lt;A title=Awareness  href="http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Awareness"&gt;awareness&lt;/A&gt; of the limited time  in each day and in human lifespans."&amp;nbsp; Granted, this is a little wordy, but  you get the point that time is a constant element.&amp;nbsp; As a matter of fact, I  am NOT a clock watcher, a calendar watcher or actually any other means that  people gauge their time by.&amp;nbsp; I simply live, work, enjoy and am not at all  concerned with the day, date, time or the events happening around me of which I  have absolutely no control.&amp;nbsp; In other words, I live a very free and flowing  lifestyle.&amp;nbsp; This is one reason that I am one of the most powerful seo  masters on Google today.&amp;nbsp; I am fluid and ever changing in my approach to  marketing successfully on Google.&amp;nbsp; I will share some insider secrets on how  to achieve this.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;In my seo business, I have the opportunity to come into contact with many  people.&amp;nbsp; These people are looking for a way to live outside the thoughts of  convention.&amp;nbsp; They are looking to leverage their time and efforts more  effectively, live life on their own terms, and generally make money with an  online business.&amp;nbsp; They fall short of those expectations most of the  time.&amp;nbsp; I like to think about the whys of them having no success.&amp;nbsp; In  the spirit of fairness, I simply ask them a question.&amp;nbsp; What have you  actually accomplished today to build your business?&amp;nbsp; Most of the time they  come back and say, "I posted to Craigslist, I worked on my Veretekk  configuration, I talked to some people on skype, I went into a training class  and recorded the session, I tried to learn a thousand new techniques today for  promoting online and other things.&amp;nbsp; In all actuality, they really  accomplished nothing of what they needed to be doing to build a business.&amp;nbsp;  Anyone should be aware that writing is the basis of success on Google.&amp;nbsp; The  written words contain power in obtaining top positions on websites so that  people will view your information.&amp;nbsp; They have not done one thing in this  area, because they just don't have the TIME!&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;Ah, the word TIME comes into play again.&amp;nbsp; They don't have enough time to  sit and type a few effective keywords, but they seemed to have all the time in  the world to chat, send non-sensical emails, listen to others who are successful  tell them exactly how to accomplish it and yet, they just miss the boat entirely  on the one key element that they need to become a success on Google.&amp;nbsp; In  all actuality, you can become very successful, highly recognized and have the  ability to command the search engines just by writing keyword specific articles,  just like the one you are reading.&amp;nbsp; How many choose to do that?&amp;nbsp; Not  many I think.&amp;nbsp; There seems to be an almost inherent tendency in the online  professional world, to do all the wrong things.&amp;nbsp; I have been noticing this  for quite some time.&amp;nbsp; I do try to lead people in the right direction, but  the fact of the matter is, you cannot make them enter that world of  accomplishment.&amp;nbsp; Below are some definite time wasters that I have been  witness to.&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;UL&gt;   &lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Checking Emails&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; This is probably one very common    thing that most marketers do.&amp;nbsp; They search the thousands of emails on an    hourly basis in hopes of finding the one email that tells them they have made    a sale of their latest and greatest widget.&amp;nbsp; In all actuality, 99% of all    emails can be deleted, as they are nothing but other people trying to get you    to join their latest and greatest.&amp;nbsp; What a waste of time and energy.    &lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Attending Training Classes&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; While the actual process    of attending training classes concerning topics that are relevant to internet    marketing like search engine optimization, search engine marketing, building    high quality and search engine compatible websites and all the other intricate    details of successful marketing online may be a great thing to do initially,    you must become dedicated to the goal of putting into motion the things that    you learn there.&amp;nbsp; I see a great many of nothing but training    junkies.&amp;nbsp; They come to my seo lectures, turn on the recorders, and go to    the nearest television.&amp;nbsp; This is a total waste of time if you are not    going to use the information    &lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Chat Rooms&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; This is one area that I see people waste    more time, when they actually should be writing keyword specific articles,    press releases, blog posts and posting to forums regularly.&amp;nbsp; Money will    never be made in chat rooms.&amp;nbsp; Oh sure, you make many friends and you may    consider this an integral part of your business, but in my professional    opinion, social networking is a total waste of valuable time.    &lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Wasting Time on the Phone&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; Did you know that most    phone calls only really need to be a few moments in length?&amp;nbsp; Getting to    the point in a phone conversation is paramount.&amp;nbsp; You must clearly state    your purpose to the caller, then its time to get back to work.&amp;nbsp; Phone    time, unless you are making sales, is a total waste of effective time    management.    &lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Surfing Webpages&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; If you spend a lot of time surfing    around trying to find the magic button for successfully building a business on    Google, you will NEVER accomplish anything.&amp;nbsp; Surfing is for people who    have way too much time on their hands.&amp;nbsp; If you need information, simply    type the question into a Google search box, and get the answer.&amp;nbsp; Its time    to get down to the basics of effective time leveraging.    &lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Watching What Others Do, or Don't Do&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; This is    another total waste of time.&amp;nbsp; In my professional opinion, you must go    where no man has gone before on the internet to be effective.&amp;nbsp; You must    be demanding and forthright in your desire to have the success in building a    stable and viable business online.&amp;nbsp; You must be committed to writing in    order to see any success at all on the internet.&amp;nbsp; Unless you are willing    to fly right past all the so-called gurus and what they say to do or not do,    you are going to lose.&amp;nbsp; Do not be fooled by people that you consider huge    networking legends.&amp;nbsp; They may possibly be nothing that your visions of    grandeur and success that you have formulated within your own mind about them    to be.&amp;nbsp; They are very much just like you.&amp;nbsp; They are average people    trying to make money from an online business, and NOTHING more.    &lt;LI&gt;&lt;STRONG&gt;Submitting Classified Ads on the Net&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; Please, move    away from you advertising mentality here.&amp;nbsp; What makes your latest and    greatest different from everyone else's on the classified ad sites?&amp;nbsp;    Absolutely nothing!&amp;nbsp; You can use classified ads to build links, if you    know how to be keyword specific, but in reality online, you are not going to    make sales using that approach.&lt;/LI&gt;&lt;/UL&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;There are some time wasters.&amp;nbsp; You can take my information, knowledge  and expertise and use it to your advantage.&amp;nbsp; You can also just fly right  past the truth.&amp;nbsp; I am all about getting to the bottom line truth concerning  online marketing.&amp;nbsp; You will see more articles coming for shortly within  this site.&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Caution:&amp;nbsp; These articles can  become addictive&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;.&amp;nbsp; &lt;STRONG&gt;&lt;FONT color=#ff0000&gt;Use with  extreme caution.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/STRONG&gt;&amp;nbsp; Leveraging your time, and learning to  stretch each second that you have is very important.&amp;nbsp; We are all just one  heartbeat away from eternity.&amp;nbsp; Its time to start living just that  way.&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/DIV&gt; &lt;DIV&gt;Learning specific mindset training, business sales leadership, learning  seo, sem and all the other necessary elements that you really need to know is  what Jaguar Marketing is really all about.&amp;nbsp; Oh yes, its about making money,  but its of far more value than that.&amp;nbsp; The topics above are just some of the  ones that I conduct in the weekly training sessions at Jag.&amp;nbsp; I use the web  conferencing room as the perfect teacher's training aid to inspire people to  become successful on Google.&amp;nbsp; The whole business is geared to just  that.&amp;nbsp; Jag Marketing is unlike any business found on the internet.&amp;nbsp; It  is all about internet education.&amp;nbsp; Once you begin to become educated in the  real ways to build a business, you will magnify your efforts  exponentially.&lt;/DIV&gt;

The current tribe migrated to the Surin  Islands, about 70km off the coast of Phang-nga province, and has been staying  there for the last 150 years.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial&gt;&lt;FONT  size=2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;When Thailand declared the Surin  Islands as a National Park in July 1981, the Mokens were disallowed to fish even  for their subsistence.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;Environmental protection policies were in conflict with the traditional  life-style of the Mokens.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Banned  from fishing and catching sea cucumbers for their subsistence, and from  collecting shells for sale and making indigenous crafts, they lost their  livelihood.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Many were reduced to  menial labour.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;They now work as  sweepers and general labourers at the Surin National Park&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial&gt;&lt;FONT  size=2&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;o:p&gt;&lt;/o:p&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;Assimilation and integration into  Thai society is slow.&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Partly, this  is because the Thai people look down upon them as "Chao Lay", an implied term  used in Southern Thailand for people "who are ignorant about health and hygiene,  education or wasteful in their spending".&lt;SPAN style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp;  &lt;/SPAN&gt;Being nomadic, the Mokens have no established domicile.&lt;SPAN  style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;This resulted in them being denied Thai  citizenship, with its attendant public services and amenities.&lt;SPAN  style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;Without Thai citizenship which would  have facilitated their obtaining jobs, or receiving state benefits like medical  services, the Mokens were caught in a limbo.&lt;SPAN  style="mso-spacerun: yes"&gt;&amp;nbsp; &lt;/SPAN&gt;They were forced to exchange their  traditional nomadic marine life-style for one based on land, yet they had no  sustainable livelihood."&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;I was intrigued by D Anthony's  short story titled "Moken Time."&amp;nbsp; In his presentation, he shared background  information concerning the nomadic tribe that was very entertaining to  read.&amp;nbsp; These people show no interest in conventional ways of approaching  life.&amp;nbsp; I am suspecting that they have the right way to approach  living.&amp;nbsp; There is no time, no hellos or goodbyes, no remorse, there is only  now.&amp;nbsp; I am was led to think that at some point, I must have some Moken  background in my heritage, as this is precisely the way that I approach life as  well.&amp;nbsp; I like to term it living richly and fully to the nth degree, every  second that God grants me to possess on this planet.&amp;nbsp; D Anthony provides  and insightful peek into the world of Mokens and should inspire people to become  more aware of the present, than being concerned with the past or the future  events.&amp;nbsp; Personally, I highly recommend this inspirational book "The Nurse  in the Delivery Room Slapped Me...Once," to anyone who is inspired and motivated  to lead exceptional lives.&amp;nbsp; He captures the essence of living with his down  to earth style and grace, and the price of the book is well worth the knowledge  times one hundred.&lt;/FONT&gt;&lt;/P&gt; &lt;P class=MsoBodyText&gt;&lt;FONT face=Arial size=2&gt;&lt;/FONT&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/P&gt;

Well, the first  time I spoke to Tom (several months ago) and he explained this amazing system to  me the first thing out of my mouth was "WOW! I've been looking for something  like this!"... The NEXT thing out of my mouth was "Where can I sign-up!". The  rest is history.&lt;BR&gt;Since then I have put several thousand dollars in the bank  using Veretekk generated leads for my Primary Program, Secondary Program, etc...  And now, for the past couple of months since Veretekk launched their Affiliate  Program, I have an additional stream of income... The Veretekk Affiliate  Program.  &lt;P&gt;By the way, my first check from the Veretekk Affiliate Program was a nice 4  figures &amp;amp; the second one is even a NICER 4 figures! THANKS Veretekk!  &lt;P&gt;Of course, I'll never "buy" leads again.  &lt;P&gt;THANKS Tom, Mike &amp;amp; Jeff &amp;amp; God bless you all for putting this amazing  system together the right-way for all of us. It's definitely been a blessing to  my residential business!  &lt;P&gt;Paul Stanton &lt;/P&gt;&lt;B&gt;This System Has "Heart"&lt;/B&gt;&lt;BR&gt;I'm new to the residential  business/Internet marketing scene! I started Dec 04 and by the end of Dec 04,  after spending money and wasting time, I was frustrated and disheartened. I knew  there had to be something out there that worked! Then came Veretekk. I've  learned so much in just a few short weeks. For the first time I'm getting  quality leads. And I'm making money...without having done much of anything. And  this passive income is going to get huge. Veretekk is so powerful and creative.  The trainings are worth their weight in gold!  &lt;P&gt;Veretekk equals All Possibilities!  &lt;P&gt;The guys at Veretekk are ahead of their time. Tom Prendergast has a huge  intellect balanced with a huge heart. He really cares about helping people. I'm  so grateful to have Veretekk.  &lt;P&gt;Please, whatever you're doing...STOP. Do yourself a favor.
