The word anniversary eludes to celebration. One this day, we commemorate. As I write, my heart swells with sadness, my eyes fill with tears. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;h3 style="font-family: verdana;"&gt;My reflections......&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/h3&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;On that day, &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;9/11&lt;/span&gt;, I was vacationing with friends in Hilton Head, SC on the eastern coast. An early start to the day; they were taking a swim while I was enjoying coffee, watching Good Morning America. However, this would be no good morning ... only &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;span&gt;mourning&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;Breaking news&lt;/span&gt;. I felt the shock. Moments later I watched live as the second plane crashed into the tower. I cried. I ran outside to tell my friends. Others heard me - sprinting from the pool to their rooms to see the news for themselves. The panic was palpable. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;We sat together around the television for many hours, as the events of that &lt;span style="font-style: italic;"&gt;dreadful day&lt;/span&gt; continued to unfold. No one knew quite what to say or to feel. All of us deeply saddened, filled with grief, fearful, nearly paralyzed. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;I had no friend or loved one flying that day. No personal connection to anyone in New York or DC, to anyone in the military, to anyone who might have perished. Yet, I felt connected .... I believe we were all connected in some sense.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;We all &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;remember&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;in our own way, and not just today. I no longer see those friends - due to circumstances which transpire over the course of a decade in life. I wish them well, with love. I'm certain they too will reflect on that day and those events and how we were together through it all, much as I have in my thoughts and in writing. &lt;/span&gt;  &lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a title="peace is the way via deepak chopra" href="http://www.chopra.com/peace" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img style="float: left; margin: 0pt 10px 10px 0pt; cursor: pointer; width: 200px; height: 150px;" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/-4xxz2w_X37c/Tm0frbZFptI/AAAAAAAAAd0/2C7d5QIAsuU/s200/imaginepeace.jpg" alt="imagine world peace photo blue peace sign flowers" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5651207938367661778" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;September 11, 2001&lt;/span&gt; changed our world forever.

&lt;br /&gt;First, thanks to Misty (&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/mysticle"&gt;@Mysticle&lt;/a&gt;) for allowing me to post on her blog today! Today, more than 25 bloggers, including this one, are standing with me to &lt;a href="http://www.seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5"&gt;Ask 5 for 5&lt;/a&gt; for Africa. Here's why....&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="yiv2080240816MsoNormal"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I began pursuing a BIG dream two weeks ago. After deciding I could no longer avoid the news about the &lt;a href="http://seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5"&gt;famine in the horn of Africa&lt;/a&gt;, I had that gut feeling that I couldn't sit this one out. I HAD to do something &lt;i&gt;because I could&lt;/i&gt;. Something bigger than I could do alone. That's when &lt;a href="http://www.seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5"&gt;#Ask5for5&lt;/a&gt; was born.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" title="A malnourished child in an MSF treatment tent in Dolo Ado by DFID - UK Department for International Development, on Flickr"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 485px; height: 323px;" alt="A malnourished child in an MSF treatment tent in Dolo Ado" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6150/5977576239_727c6a90b0.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Two of my children, Ashen and Bereket, were adopted and are from the region affected by the &lt;a href="http://www.seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5"&gt;drought in Ethiopia&lt;/a&gt;. They would be two of the statistics if they still lived there. I see my son’s and daughter’s faces in the photos of those suffering in the refugee camps. It could have been him. It could have been her. The thought haunts me.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 486px; height: 322px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-iCmOu2iGvf8/Tkw_gwcdFUI/AAAAAAAAKCE/BJEbn6UJCHY/s1600/Bereket+and+mom+web+2.jpg" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;And moms just like us are watching their children go hungry day after day. I can't imagine what it's like, but I have to –I have to be there to help them, because it could have been my children. These families have lost their livestock, their crops, food prices are inflated at the market if there any food there, and don’t have any more lifelines to tap into. Many are traveling hundreds of miles through parched land in hope of finding help. Many are dying along the way. It is estimated that 29,000 children have died in the last 90 days in the &lt;a href="http://www.seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5"&gt;famine in Somalia &lt;/a&gt;alone.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img style="width: 485px; height: 366px;" alt="Malnourished children, weakened by hunger" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6029/5977576537_d2cb3b7f4d.jpg" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;But I KNOW we can do something about it. Instead of feeling overwhelmed and paralyzed, we can rally ourselves and our friends to respond! I set up a fundraiser through See Your Impact. 100% of your gift will go to the relief and development organization &lt;a href="http://www2.worldvision.org/?&amp;amp;r=t" rel="nofollow" target="_blank"&gt;World Vision&lt;/a&gt;, where it will be combined with government grants to &lt;b&gt;multiply up to 5 times in impact!&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;You’ll receive updates on just how your funding is being used to help save lives affected by &lt;a href="http://www.seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5"&gt;famine in East Africa&lt;/a&gt;. I'm amazed at how much we've raised already -- over $7,000 in just four days! We blew through our first 3 goals in just 3 days and are well on our way to $10,000 and beyond!
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I need &lt;b&gt;you&lt;/b&gt; to help me save lives.&lt;i&gt; It's so so simple;&lt;/i&gt; here's what you need to do:
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ol&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Donate $5 or more on &lt;a href="http://seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5/"&gt;this page&lt;/a&gt; (http://seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5)&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Send an email&lt;/b&gt; to your friends and ask them to join us.&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;li&gt;Share &lt;a like=""&gt;&lt;a="" and="" facebook="" href="http://seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5/" it=""&gt;Ask5for5&lt;/a=""&gt;&lt;/a&gt; on Facebook and Twitter, and join our page to stay updated too!&lt;/li&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/ol&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I'm also looking for 100 bloggers to stand with Ask5for5 to spread the  word during Social Media week, September 19th - 23rd. If you're interested, email me, ask5for5@gmail.com.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;&lt;img alt="Extra food for every child under five" src="http://farm7.static.flickr.com/6028/5978210260_fb7c86089a.jpg" height="400" width="300" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Thanks! Please &lt;a href="http://www.seeyourimpact.org/members/ask5for5"&gt;donate and email your friends&lt;/a&gt; right now--don't wait for a calmer moment, because if you're like me, other demands inevitably crop up and you won't get to it. A child's life hangs in the balance, but you can help save her!
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;Overnight tonight will occur the first new moon of 2011, at 09:03 UT and 13 degrees Capricorn. This is a powerful new moon, as it coincides with the first Solar eclipse of the year on January 4th. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://lunaf.com/english/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: left; float: left; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img border="0" height="227" src="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nNmL_fsD_9s/TSK9JhIdFPI/AAAAAAAAA10/zlmbRvqjEsw/s320/new+moon+capricorn.jpg" width="320" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;This is a time to open yourself to abundance and prosperity through manifesting. We can tap into the intense energies of the new moon. I use this time to affirm and renew, to invigorate, to inspire myself. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-size: small;"&gt;Particularly for Sagittarius, this new moon is about fresh starts and opening new income sources, as it falls into our second solar house of earned income. You can read more about the Sagittarius forecast for January (and for your sign too)&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.astrologyzone.com/main.html" target="_blank"&gt; here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="color: #444444; font-size: small;"&gt;Internationally recognized spiritual teacher/facilitator, astrologer &lt;a href="http://celestialspace.wordpress.com/" target="blank"&gt;Dipali Desai&lt;/a&gt; writes “New Moon phase of the lunar cycle is considered to be fertile and auspicious for a new beginning. Combine that with a Solar Eclipse and here is one powerful and delicious package for manifestation .....&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-size: small;"&gt;The Sun and Moon team up together during a New Moon, that is they  concentrate both the Conscious (Solar) and the Subconscious (Lunar)  towards a common intention or goal. In this case, the sun and moon&amp;nbsp; meet  in the sign of Capricorn and the 13 degree point is the ‘active spot.’&amp;nbsp;  Solar Energy symbolizes vitality, vigor and outward expression. We can  channel this energy towards a solid plan or intention.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-size: small;"&gt;&amp;nbsp;&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;With the Solar Eclipse, it is as if, powerful rays of Solar light  shining within the dark fertile void where all is possible. We bring the  formless into form. Within the past few months, we have undergone  ancient initiations to consciously lay down a strong foundation  (Capricorn) of integrity. It is very likely something fresh will birth  and we will manifest it in our lives over the next twelve months in a  tangible way. We must be show self-responsibility and wisdom as we step  onto a new stage."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-size: small;"&gt;I also enjoyed reading Jan's insights at &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.astrogrrl.com/2010/12/new-moon-solar-eclipse-in-capricorn.html" target="_blank"&gt;AstroGrrl.com &lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="font-family: Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-size: small;"&gt;I wrote about &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: #444444; font-size: small;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://mysticle.blogspot.com/2009/07/on-july-22nd-2009-there-will-be-to.html"&gt;New Moon Lightcasting&lt;/a&gt; previously. When performing my Lightcasting ritual, I release my mind and heart to manifest; to ask for what I want to attract into my life. I open my senses, attuning to the signals from my higher-self. I feel love and gratitude, and cast these feelings into the universe. In a peaceful, silent moment, I will ask the universe to provide abundance and I will trust the universe to find a way.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;What is Social Media 2.0?&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;While Social Media (or Social Media 1.0) is all about harnessing the power of social networks, Social Media 2.0 focuses on another collaborative social networking. Imagine the combined power of the most popular social networks like Twitter and Facebook working in tandem with blogs and wikis in real time in order to publish information at astonishing speeds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;Social Media 2.0 is not just about providing information “for the moment” but it deals with the crucial aspect of sustainability of information. Social bookmarking and advanced tagging of content are crucial component of Social Media 2.0. It thrives on a simple principle that information must be presented and preserved simply in order to be used effectively.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;Benefits&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;Social Media 2.0 provides greater internet visibility, wider reach and better search engine performance for any business. It’s fair to say that it handpicks the best practices from Social Media 1.0 and traditional PR techniques to create a new paradigm that gets the best of both worlds.&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;If your business missed the social media bus, it’s not too late to get your act right. Social Media 2.0 is here – it’s bigger, better and set to change the enterprise world for good!&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://mysticle.blogspot.com/search/label/social%20media"&gt;Social Media&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt; is a &lt;i&gt;Hot Mess&lt;/i&gt;. &lt;a href="http://joannalord.com/category/social-media" target="_blank"&gt;Joanna Lord&lt;/a&gt; said it best during her presentation at &lt;a href="http://www.slideshare.net/searchexchange/joanna-lord-searchexchangesocialmedia" target="_blank"&gt;SearchEx&lt;/a&gt; earlier this year. We hear it every day, everywhere, and I'm excited to be part of this rapidly evolving craze.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;This year, I've been lucky enough to attend three &lt;b&gt;Social Media Conferences&lt;/b&gt;. The above mentioned, &lt;a href="http://www.pubcon.com/dallas2010/" target="_blank"&gt;PubCon Dallas&lt;/a&gt;, and &lt;a href="http://www.searchenginestrategies.com/archives/2010/newyork/" target="_blank"&gt;SES NY&lt;/a&gt; were all fantastic experiences, no doubt. I learned a great deal and met so many amazing people. Listening to &lt;a href="http://www.un-marketing.com/blog/" target="_blank"&gt;Scott Stratten&lt;/a&gt;, also known as the &lt;i&gt;unmarketing&lt;/i&gt; guy, deliver his &lt;a href="http://www.pubcon.com/bios/scott_stratten.htm" target="_blank"&gt;keynote speech&lt;/a&gt; at PubCon with such energy and enthusiasm, and then later meeting him ... well, that was a highlight of my trip.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://socialfresh.posterous.com/" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;img src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nNmL_fsD_9s/TF0CnJ2YWTI/AAAAAAAAAy0/Dv3VPMOzhB4/s200/sofresh-charlotte.jpg.scaled500.jpg" height="145" border="0" width="200" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Really, that is what it's all about for me. Networking. Being SOCIAL. Learning too, of course, but that's just a bonus.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I hope to attend more &lt;a href="http://socialfresh.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Social Media Conferences&lt;/a&gt; and Events like the upcoming &lt;a href="http://socialfresh.com/charlotte/" target="_blank"&gt;&lt;b&gt;SocialFresh&lt;/b&gt; &lt;/a&gt;in Charlotte later this month. These events offer tremendous opportunity for networking. I've been able to meet and chat with the faces that I tweet, both locally and around the globe.  
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;I wasn't able to attend SoFresh last year, when &lt;a href="http://jasonkeath.com/social-fresh/" target="_blank"&gt;Jason Keath&lt;/a&gt; launched it in the Queen City. Twitter and hashtags helped me follow the &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/sofresh" target="_blank"&gt;buzz&lt;/a&gt;; however, this year I want to be right there in the Hot Mess.
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Give me a shout &lt;a href="http://twitter.com/Mysticle" target="_blank"&gt;@&lt;span style="font-family:Verdana,sans-serif;"&gt;Mysticle&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/a&gt; beforehand, and please say Hi if you see me there.
&lt;br /&gt;

Building a business is not easy and growing it is even tougher. A business can&amp;#8217;t survive if it doesn&amp;#8217;t care about its customers. Since users/ customers are the focal point of social media, it ensures that they are in good hands.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="Amp_Content_Hr"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote class="Amp_Content_Item" cite="http://smedio.com/2010/07/29/how-to-save-a-dying-business-with-social-media/"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong id="AutoGeneratedID-3"&gt;Improve Customer Service&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

It can do wonders to enhance your reputation in quick time and it can help revive a brand&amp;#8217;s tarnished image. Likewise, if a dying business doesn&amp;#8217;t do anything to prevent its downfall; social media can often unknowingly prove to be the last nail in its coffin.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;
&lt;/table&gt;&lt;/blockquote&gt;&lt;div class="Amp_Content_Hr"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;blockquote class="Amp_Content_Item" cite="http://smedio.com/2010/07/29/how-to-save-a-dying-business-with-social-media/"&gt;&lt;table cellpadding="0" cellspacing="0"&gt;&lt;tr&gt;&lt;td&gt;&lt;strong id="AutoGeneratedID-6"&gt;Contacts and Networking&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

A great product is of little value if it doesn&amp;#8217;t have an effective sales channel. I&amp;#8217;ve come across many businesses that&amp;#8217;ve managed to overcome troubled waters by building contacts and seeking help using social media. In today&amp;#8217;s age of globalization, we live in a unified world and a global economy. It&amp;#8217;s fair to say that social media is a business&amp;#8217;s gateway to globalization.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;span class="Amp_Source_Button"&gt;&lt;a rel="clipsource" target="_blank" title="http://smedio.com/2010/07/29/how-to-save-a-dying-business-with-social-media/" href="http://smedio.com/2010/07/29/how-to-save-a-dying-business-with-social-media/"&gt;Read more at smedio.com&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/td&gt;&lt;/tr&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://artmarketingsecrets.com/2010/07/social-networking-to-target-your-art-market.html"&gt;&lt;/a&gt;~ Great advice for the Art Community … and for Anyone using Social Media Marketing to establish their brand. Let the Real You shine -:¦:-
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HJeYxAxUgvQ/Tk1Oa820NKI/AAAAAAAAAWA/yA1rS1UUk48/s1600/social-media-marketing-art.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 199px; height: 200px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-HJeYxAxUgvQ/Tk1Oa820NKI/AAAAAAAAAWA/yA1rS1UUk48/s200/social-media-marketing-art.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5642252133084705954" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Social Networking to Target Your Art Market
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Facebook and Twitter (and email to some extent) give you the chance to connect with like-minded buyers, patrons, business partners, and fellow artists in a way that was only possible in local communities before. There is a very good chance that you can build real relationships that lead to sales. But here is the key:
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;Be yourself, share your values, share your passion. Be respectful of other people’s viewpoints but don’t modify yourself. Say what is true for you with your voice and your paintbrush. Do it in your local community, do it on facebook and twitter, do it with your email list. For sure, some people will drop away, but they’ll be replaced by others who are more likely to “get” you and your work.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Hi all, just a quick Tuesday Tip this week.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;If you're not yet using&lt;/b&gt; &lt;b style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;a href="http://hootsuite.com/" target="blank&amp;quot;"&gt;Hootsuite&lt;/a&gt;, try it today. I highly recommend this professional twitter client. It makes my tweeting experience run so smoothly.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gZS7MZyQ3gs/TlL0vUAPYpI/AAAAAAAAAcg/EkAgG6ppwA4/s1600/Hootsuite.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 258px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-gZS7MZyQ3gs/TlL0vUAPYpI/AAAAAAAAAcg/EkAgG6ppwA4/s320/Hootsuite.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643842376709399186" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;What makes Hootsuite so great ... well, everything, all in one place.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;ul style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Automatically shorten any URL with ow.ly&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Schedule tweets to post easily&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Organize your Hootsuite with tabs and columns&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Add multiple twitter profiles&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;li&gt;&lt;b&gt;Add other social network profiles: Facebook, LinkedIn, Myspace, Foursquare, Ping.fm&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/li&gt;&lt;/ul&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;Then you can easily post a status update to any or all of your profiles directly from &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://hootsuite.com/" target="blank&amp;quot;"&gt;Hootsuite.&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UPRYbB0U2YY/TlL1XV6N-dI/AAAAAAAAAco/tQkY8fDZJJk/s1600/Hootsuite_Dashboard_-_Misty_Wuori_-_Mysticle.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 159px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-UPRYbB0U2YY/TlL1XV6N-dI/AAAAAAAAAco/tQkY8fDZJJk/s320/Hootsuite_Dashboard_-_Misty_Wuori_-_Mysticle.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643843064415779282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nNmL_fsD_9s/S58f3vOGCdI/AAAAAAAAAsQ/L41x1hL0_aU/s1600-h/Hootsuite2.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;" target="blank&amp;quot;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;More great stuff: retweet, @ reply, follow &amp;amp; unfollow, DM, and favorite tweets&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I use this twitter client every day and it makes my social networking so much easier. Maybe you'll find it useful too.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;Thanks for visiting. I really hope you're finding my Tuesday Tips a valuable resource.&lt;/b&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;You can enhance your blog by adding a personal welcome greeting for your new Google Friend Connect followers, as I have done.&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;First, log into your Google Friend Connect &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/" target="_blank"&gt;administrator page&lt;/a&gt;. From the left sidebar, choose the blog you wish to work with. &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VDmS_bjN7rw/TlL28XOW1uI/AAAAAAAAAdI/QOkpm2-ORcI/s1600/google%2Bfriend%2Bconnect%2B-%2Bmisty%2Bwuori.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 194px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VDmS_bjN7rw/TlL28XOW1uI/AAAAAAAAAdI/QOkpm2-ORcI/s320/google%2Bfriend%2Bconnect%2B-%2Bmisty%2Bwuori.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643844799935469282" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://2.bp.blogspot.com/_nNmL_fsD_9s/S3pwKO9pB2I/AAAAAAAAArw/hFnY_qnmJHY/s1600-h/GFC_a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; color: rgb(68, 68, 68); text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Next, you will choose the Site Settings tab in the left sidebar. Some admin pages are experiencing issues showing this tab. In that case, you can access Site Settings by manually correcting the URL (see below). &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BsRsYFuq_Gk/TlL2kAaiJII/AAAAAAAAAc4/Ns_dKF74Wtk/s1600/google%2Bfriend%2Bconnec%2Burl.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 17px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-BsRsYFuq_Gk/TlL2kAaiJII/AAAAAAAAAc4/Ns_dKF74Wtk/s320/google%2Bfriend%2Bconnec%2Burl.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643844381495665794" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nNmL_fsD_9s/S3prKhHiwoI/AAAAAAAAArY/a32RZYFunxk/s1600-h/URL_a.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="margin-left: 1em; margin-right: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;Replace the word Overview with the word Settings&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YK2MiI1SBSw/TlL2qfTZJ1I/AAAAAAAAAdA/WbW7Fqn5ATI/s1600/google%2Bfriend%2Bconnect%2Burl%2Btools.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 15px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-YK2MiI1SBSw/TlL2qfTZJ1I/AAAAAAAAAdA/WbW7Fqn5ATI/s320/google%2Bfriend%2Bconnect%2Burl%2Btools.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643844492866430802" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Once you have accessed Site Settings, you need to open the Advanced tab. From there, look for the box below Join Confirmation message:&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-VDmS_bjN7rw/TlL28XOW1uI/AAAAAAAAAdI/QOkpm2-ORcI/s1600/google%2Bfriend%2Bconnect%2B-%2Bmisty%2Bwuori.jpg"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bhqBZVKXca0/TlL2a_8xnrI/AAAAAAAAAcw/WMhTfwG4BKI/s1600/google%2Bfriend%2Bconnect%2B-%2Bmysticle.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 225px;" src="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/-bhqBZVKXca0/TlL2a_8xnrI/AAAAAAAAAcw/WMhTfwG4BKI/s320/google%2Bfriend%2Bconnect%2B-%2Bmysticle.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643844226752028338" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In this box, you can enter a personal greeting to welcome all new members who join your blog through Google Friend Connect. Limited HTML markup is available, and you may include alternate links. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In my opinion, this is a great enhancement feature for your blog, and well worth the minimal effort. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I hope this helps. Please feel free to contact me with any questions. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

&lt;div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;~ I simply had to share this amazing, inspiring video. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b style="color: #666666;"&gt;Found in the twitter stream via my friends &lt;/b&gt;@&lt;a class="_username username _userInfoPopup" href="http://twitter.com/sojourner9" target="_blank" title="sojourner9"&gt;sojourner9&lt;/a&gt; &lt;span style="color: #666666;"&gt;and&lt;/span&gt; @&lt;a href="http://twitter.com/MakikiGirl" target="_blank"&gt;MakikiGirl&lt;/a&gt; &lt;b style="color: #666666;"&gt;...that's what it's all about.                &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;From the award-winning documentary, "&lt;a href="http://playingforchange.com/" target="_blank"&gt;Playing For Change: Peace Through Music&lt;/a&gt;", comes the first of many "songs around the world" being released independently.&amp;nbsp;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/Us-TVg40ExM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;/param&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/Us-TVg40ExM&amp;hl=en_US&amp;fs=1&amp;rel=0&amp;color1=0x402061&amp;color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" width="425" height="344"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: #666666; font-family: Arial,sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Four years ago while walking down the street in Santa Monica, CA the voice of Roger Ridley singing “Stand By me” was heard from a block away. His voice, soul and passion set us on a course around the world to add other musicians to his performance. This song transformed Playing For Change from a small group of individuals to a global movement for peace and understanding.

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(243, 243, 243);"&gt;- &lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/home/overview" target="_blank"&gt;Google Friend Connect&lt;/a&gt; is a great tool for enhancing the social aspect of your blog. Visitors can follow your blog using their Google, Yahoo, AIM, or OpenID account. Google Friend Connect is completely integrated with Google Profiles and with Blogger. Followers can also friend each other on your site and around the Blogosphere. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gEohedHfB-4/TlL4jDTbGqI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/eY56AWiJ6zU/s1600/google_friend_connect_-_join.png"&gt;&lt;img style="display: block; margin: 0px auto 10px; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 370px; height: 325px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/-gEohedHfB-4/TlL4jDTbGqI/AAAAAAAAAdQ/eY56AWiJ6zU/s400/google_friend_connect_-_join.png" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643846564114537122" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;In your individual &lt;a href="http://www.google.com/profiles" target="_blank"&gt;Google Profile&lt;/a&gt;, you can choose which of your own links you wish to include. This helps friends to connect with you around the web. I wrote more about &lt;a href="http://mysticle.blogspot.com/2010/01/introducing-tuesday-tips.html" target="_blank"&gt;Profiles&lt;/a&gt; in my last &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;a href="http://mysticle.blogspot.com/2010/01/introducing-tuesday-tips.html" target="_blank"&gt;Tuesday Tips&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;segment. Your readers may also choose to follow and display their &lt;a href="http://www.blogger.com/profile/" target="_blank"&gt;Blogger Profile&lt;/a&gt;, and show a list of their own blogs, as well as other blogs they follow.  &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I recommend that you follow your own blogs, so readers may connect and friend you through Google Friend Connect. I've found that you will not see another user's friend request unless you are visiting the same blog where they sent their request from. I always search through followers of blogs I join, looking for friendly faces and, of course, for the blog author. &lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I simply enjoy networking with people. Google Friend Connect is a great tool for your blog. Joining other sites, which you enjoy reading, will also help drive traffic back to your own sites. For more information and helpful hints, follow Google's Social Web Blog &lt;a href="http://googlesocialweb.blogspot.com/" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;

&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;Hi Everyone ~ I hope you all took pleasure in a wonderful holiday season, with family and friends. A new decade is upon us, and I'm very excited for all the potentials awaiting.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;This year, with my blogging, I plan to introduce a few weekly/monthly series of posts. I truly enjoy writing and communicating with people around the globe. Equally, I hope You, my readers, enjoy my posts. We are here to share and network.&lt;/span&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;I would like to introduce &lt;/span&gt;&lt;i style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;Tuesday Tips&lt;/i&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;. Here I will share some tips and tricks I've learned to help with your social media experience ... everything from blogging, Facebook, Twitter, Ning, etc. I'm optimistic that you'll find my suggestions useful. Please always feel free to leave comments, or contact me anytime.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;Today, let's start with an easy one ... your &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/profiles" style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" target="_blank"&gt;Google Profile&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;. You can create your own personal profile on Google, just like I have &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/profiles/mysticle" style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" target="_blank"&gt;here&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div class="separator" style="clear: both; text-align: center;"&gt;&lt;a href="http://1.bp.blogspot.com/_nNmL_fsD_9s/S0Li9Sd_MGI/AAAAAAAAAk0/eJPHglpqwUw/s1600-h/Google+Profile.jpg" imageanchor="1" style="clear: right; float: right; margin-bottom: 1em; margin-left: 1em;"&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;By adding a short Bio and links to your other online profiles and blogs, people &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;a href="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JY3KAT_RWWc/TlL0c0kTGkI/AAAAAAAAAcY/X52-tpIXZaE/s1600/Misty%2BWuori-Google%2BProfile.jpg"&gt;&lt;img style="float: right; margin: 0pt 0pt 10px 10px; cursor: pointer; width: 320px; height: 204px;" src="http://3.bp.blogspot.com/-JY3KAT_RWWc/TlL0c0kTGkI/AAAAAAAAAcY/X52-tpIXZaE/s320/Misty%2BWuori-Google%2BProfile.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5643842059033057858" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;can easily connect with you. Also, you can incorporate this profile into your B&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;lo&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;g &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;&lt;b&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;and &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a href="http://www.google.com/friendconnect/" style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);" target="_blank"&gt;Google Friend Connect&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt; (which I will discuss next week).  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt; &lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/b&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;&lt;div style="color: rgb(68, 68, 68);"&gt;&lt;b&gt;Okay, that's all for now. Thanks for dropping by!&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;

It is a time to give thanks, to harvest, to celebrate and express gratitude.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: arial,sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;div style="font-family: Arial,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;I am blessed in so many ways in this life. I have my health and the security of a warm, dry place to sleep every night. My family is dear and loving and so supportive. My friends are wonderful and caring and make me laugh.

I know they are grateful for the second chance that my home provides. My partner provides love and attention, and he puts a smile on my face.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;/div&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;/div&gt;&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif; text-align: left;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;This is just a short post to everyone, to let you know that I am grateful for your support and your friendship. This year, it has been so wonderful connecting with so many amazing people all around the world. I appreciate YOU.&lt;/b&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;a onblur="try {parent.deselectBloggerImageGracefully();} catch(e) {}" href="http://www.blogactionday.org/"&gt;&lt;img style="margin: 0px auto 10px; display: block; text-align: center; cursor: pointer; width: 110px; height: 39px;" src="http://4.bp.blogspot.com/_nNmL_fsD_9s/SteKt8df-JI/AAAAAAAAAg4/tzTFseR8i30/s200/bad-88-31.jpg" alt="" id="BLOGGER_PHOTO_ID_5392931600728062098" border="0" /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;I believe in our ability to 'create our day' or 'create our world'. A simple concept: if we focus on the negative, we bring about more negative. If we set our intentions toward a positive change, we generate positive results.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;
It upsets me to see acres upon acres or forests destroyed, for industrialized development's sake. It upsets me to observe people tossing all of their waste into the "trash" bins at our recycling center, instead of making a small effort to recycle. However, with this post, I'll focus on a few Solutions to impact climate change. If more of us set our intentions on constructive means, our positive energy will flow into the Universe. Really, it's all about living Green. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
~ Reduce, Reuse, Recycle - we've all heard this phrase. How many actually take the steps? &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;
~ Invest in green bags, and remember to Use them. Keep a few in your vehicle, so they're accessible. Not to say that you need to drive to the store every time ... walk or ride your bike. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt; ~ Limit your need for driving, when you can. We (my partner and I) are lucky enough to live in an area where we can walk to many stores and restaurants. I have friends using public transportation or they carpool to work. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt; ~ While I'm on this subject, here's another idea. Replace your gas powered tools (mower, trimmer, etc) for electric or rechargeable cordless electric models&lt;/span&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;em style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;"&gt;&lt;/em&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;. Better still: buy a manual mower - that's what we use for our small lawn. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;~ Eat organic, or vegetarian if you choose. Even if you do this once or twice a week, it will make a difference. If you want to learn more about the Why: read this&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.newscientist.com/article/dn16573-eating-less-meat-could-cut-climate-costs.html"&gt;article&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt; &lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;It certainly opened my eyes.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51); font-weight: bold;font-family:verdana;" &gt;~ Turn out the lights! Not just the lights, but your computer and printer, and other electronics when they're not in use. Most computers have a hibernate mode, which works nicely. While you're at it, invest in compact fluorescent bulbs for the house ... you can gradually replace standard bulbs. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;There are so many solutions, I cannot mention them all in one post.

Take a look at other bloggers' posts, at the&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;" href="http://www.blogactionday.org/"&gt;Blog Action Day&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;site, and on&lt;/span&gt; &lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 0, 153); font-weight: bold;" href="http://twitter.com/blogactionday"&gt;Twitter @blogactionday&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-weight: bold;"&gt;.&lt;/span&gt;  &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;The Sagittarius born are known as the philosophers of the zodiac. Yes, I am one of them. More and more I find myself pondering the collective consciousness. I, along with many others, believe we are moving towards an awakening. I read, study, and analyze. I connect myself with others, to consider varying thoughts and ideas. I contemplate.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;We do possess the ability to expand the collective consciousness, through awareness and unity. It is within our human potential.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);"&gt;I wanted to share this interesting video clip from a profound movie "&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;a style="font-family: verdana; color: rgb(51, 0, 153);" href="http://www.whatthebleep.com/crystals/"&gt;What the Bleep Do We Know&lt;/a&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt;." The clip includes an interview with &lt;a style="color: rgb(51, 0, 153);" href="http://www.masaru-emoto.net/"&gt;Dr. Masaru Emoto&lt;/a&gt;, the Japanese author of "Messages from Water."&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt;Dr. Emoto's studies have proven that human speech or thoughts, when directed at water droplets before they are frozen, result in the formation of water crystal images upon freezing. These appearance of these crystal images is determined based upon whether the words or thoughts were positive or negative.   &lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:Verdana,Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;font-size:100%;"  &gt;Dr. Emoto captured and documented the water's 'expressions' photographically. &lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;object height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;param name="movie" value="http://www.youtube.com/v/s4nK6W7FoFk&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x402061&amp;amp;color2=0x9461ca"&gt;&lt;param name="allowFullScreen" value="true"&gt;&lt;param name="allowscriptaccess" value="always"&gt;&lt;embed src="http://www.youtube.com/v/s4nK6W7FoFk&amp;amp;hl=en&amp;amp;fs=1&amp;amp;color1=0x402061&amp;amp;color2=0x9461ca" type="application/x-shockwave-flash" allowscriptaccess="always" allowfullscreen="true" height="344" width="425"&gt;&lt;/embed&gt;&lt;/object&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="font-family:verdana;"&gt;This certainly offers a concept to ponder.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(102, 102, 102);font-size:100%;" &gt;&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt;"All speech, action, and behavior are fluctuations of consciousness. All life emerges from, and is sustained in, consciousness. The whole universe is the expression of consciousness. The reality of the universe is one unbounded ocean of consciousness in motion.&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt;&lt;br /&gt;
Consciousness is the basis of all life and the field of all possibilities. Its nature is to expand and unfold its full potential. The impulse to evolve is thus inherent in the very nature of life.&lt;/span&gt;&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;br /&gt;
&lt;span style="color: rgb(51, 51, 51);font-family:verdana;" &gt;Knowledge is structured in consciousness. The process of education takes place in the field of consciousness; the prerequisite to complete education is therefore the full development of consciousness -- enlightenment. Knowledge is not the basis of enlightenment, enlightenment is the basis of knowledge."&lt;br /&gt;

&lt;div style="color: #444444; font-family: Arial,Helvetica,sans-serif;"&gt;&lt;b&gt;"I think we are drawn to dogs because they are the uninhibited creatures we might be if we weren't certain we knew better.
