Move 7 Steps Closer to Your Dreams
by Lynn Robinson

Do you know what your goals are but can't seem to make them
come true? Is your life going in the direction you'd like it
to? As Will Rogers said, "Even if you're on the right track,
you'll get run over if you just sit there."

These seven suggestions are small steps you can take to create
the life you want. None of them require you to make an immediate

decision or to take a big risk. All you are doing is gathering

information or what I call "putting your energy out there."

1. Talk to someone who made a successful career change about
how they got there.

2. Interview someone who has your dream job.

3. Sign up for a class in something that is either pure fun
or a subject you may want to explore for a new career.

4. If you are thinking about a geographical move, go to that
place on vacation, subscribe to the local paper and ask
friends for referrals to people living in the area.

5. Research your interests on the Internet or at the library.
Small steps count. You are building a bridge to the life you want!

6. Call a career counselor and make an appointment to discuss
your interests. Work with her to create an action plan to bring your dreams into reality.

7. Make an appointment with a financial planner to evaluate
how you could make a career switch and at the same time
maintain your financial security. To find a reputable planner
visit the Certified Financial Planners Website.

Take action on at least one thing each week to move you
closer to your goals and dreams. Making a change in your life
often feels uncomfortable at first, but even the smallest steps
count. Put the energy to create new things in your life out into
the world. Your intuition will guide you as to what actions to take.

The path towards your goal will begin to open up.

"Announcing"

"Candy-Profits From Home." A book that teaches you how
to start your home business in making candy.

managing a candy wrapper business. It comes with
some great bonuses such as 1001 Beauty Secrets,
Little Prayers for Little Hands, and the Science of
Getting Rich. All for one Low Price.

Safety Tip:

Teach your children to be careful around strange dogs.
There are many reports of bitten children, no matter
how friendly the dog may look.

~~~~~~~~~~~
Parent Tip:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Compliment your children every single day. Even if they
have not been good, FIND something to help build their
self-esteem.


~~~~~~~~~~~~
Household Tip:
~~~~~~~~~~~~
Spring is arriving soon.
Purchase one of those yellow light bulbs
that do not attract bugs for your outside light.
They are generally in any store that carries
lightbulbs.

************************
Car Tip
~~~~~~~~
When you spill oil, you can put cat litter on it to
help obsorb the mess.

My grandmother always had a whisk broom in her car.
She'd get out of the car, snag that whisk broom and
sweep out those little rocks, pieces of grass, and sand
that would inevitably get on the floor.

~~~~~~~~
Marriage Tip?
~~~~~~~~~
Compromise. You do not always have to win. Try to stay
away from negativity. Put a smile on your face, and see if
that doesn't bring one to your spouse's lips and eyes, too.

Today's Joke
UNSOLVED
MYSTERY


Juan comes up to the Mexican border
on his bicycle.
 He's got two large bags over
his shoulders.
The guard stops him and says,
"What's in the bags?"

"Sand," answers Juan.

The guard says,
"We'll just see about that ~
get off the bike."
The guard takes the bags
and rips them apart;
he empties them out and
finds nothing in them but sand.
He detains Juan overnight
and has the sand analyzed,
only to discover that
there is nothing in the bags.

The guard releases Juan,
puts the sand into new bags,
hefts them onto the man's shoulders,
and lets him cross the border.

A week later, the same thing happens.
The guard asks, "What have you got?"

"Sand," says Juan.

The guard does his thorough examination
and discovers that the bags
contain nothing but sand.
He gives the sand back to Juan,
who crosses the border on his bicycle.

This sequence of events is repeated
every week for three years.
Finally, Juan doesn't show up one day
and the guard meets him in a cantina in Mexico.

"Hey, Buddy," says the guard,
"I know you are smuggling something.
It's driving me crazy.
 It's all I think about.
I can't sleep.
Just between you and me,
what are you smuggling?"

Juan sips his beer and says,
"Bicycles."
