The Devil's Crow-Bar
Success is The Product of Refusing to Fail
There is a reason these guys wear a mask it's because they are bandits pure and simple. Not only are they bandits they are GOOD bandits. These guys will not give up, they have not a clue what failure even is and they are so focused there is no way they can fail. We live in the country and seem to collect animals. The word is out in critter-ville if you show up the Boston's will feed you. We keep a bag of cat food on the back porch to feed the cats outside. We were keeping it in a nice plastic container with a tight lid, or so we thought. Suddenly the top of the container would be open every morning. My husband caught two of these masked bandits one morning when he took the pup out, they were in the feed. These two are huge! Then the battle began...
We made sure the top was secure, the next morning it was up again, then we shut it and put a gallon of windshield wash on top, the next morning it was open. Fine, we were NOT going to be outsmarted by a critter, so we actually put a two-wheel dolly on top of it. The next morning they had removed the dolly, opened the container and apparently ate their fill. Let me just say, "I can't even lift this thing!" Everything we have done has failed! Every problem we have put in front of them they have solved regardless. Their success is the product of them refusing to fail!
Success is meeting problems head on figuring them out, not giving up ever and, when you do this your success will be the product of you refusing to fail.

A very long time ago I enlisted in one of the military services. We arrived at Boot Camp, got off the bus and were showed our dwellings for the next 8 weeks. The walls were OD green, many won’t know what that means but trust me it’s the most depressing green you have ever seen on a wall. The floors were dark brown and the lighting would have made any Haunted house proud. We came in the door to a large room (presumably the living or visiting room) and continued following one of the Drill Sargents down a narrow hall to our bunk assignments. There was one girl in the lead that suddenly FREAKED OUT! This girl started screaming “I want out of here NOW, this is like a tomb and I’m not staying, that “GodD” Flag doesn’t mean a damn thing to me.===>Read On
How to Survive Owning Your Own Business
Owning your own business is a hair-raising event believe me. You will struggle with depression, fear, hopelessness, challenges, ups, downs, and just plain wanting to give up. No, wait, "now why was it we wanted to own a business again?" "Oh yes, I remember now." We wanted to====>Read On!
In years past the Baby Boomer Generation controlled the major buying market but as they have aged the Millennials are catching up. The Baby Boomer Generation spans the years from 1946 – 1964. The Millennials span is 1980's to 2000. Naturally, there is a difference in what each generation faced which has greatly influenced what they purchased.
Baby Boomers were born in a less technical generation. They grew up in a more serious era than did the Millennials due to the Viet Nam War. The Boomers left home earlier, married earlier and bore children earlier than Millennials. In addition, the push for college was much less than it is for the Millennials, (possibly due to all the blue collar jobs available at that time.) and though it is true college cost much less back in the day than it did during the Millennials era pay was much lower. The conclusion is college was never inexpensive and each generation has its own set of problems.
Today you have the Baby Boomers facing retirement based on income earned from a generation of low pay making the social security return much lower than it would be now. This leaves the Boomers wondering if social security will be enough. Many have had to continue to work way past retirement time to make ends meet.
The Millennials are facing Student loan debt so high, in reality, they may have to use some of their retirement money to repay the loans. As for generation Z, Most have to have a full scholarship, work to help pay for college, or incur college debt the size almost equal to the National Debt! The answer for all three of these generations not simple but imperative and that is to do their best to find extra income.
Three different generations with three different issues but one problem.

All the money in the world can't bring you love, hope or happiness. These things come from within not purchased over a counter in some discount or high-end store. This includes what comes from within us to others.

Anger and Hate Demand The Death of Empathy
The building of Anger and Hate demands the death of Empathy, because, through the death of Empathy is the only way Anger and hate can live and grow. When you are capable of Empathy it's like having a built-in weed killer. Empathy eradicates Hate an Anger before it can grow therefore the first thing Anger and Hate attacks is your Empathy. When you start losing the ability to understand how others feel the weeds of Anger and Hate take over and they do it as fast as the weeds in your yard. If left untreated your yard turns into nothing but the weeds.
Don't let the flower that is your soul be choked out by the weeds of blackness called Anger and Hate. Spray those weeds with love and understanding. These weeds of blackness like the ones in your yard keep coming back too so stay on top of it just as you do your yard.
May you bless all those lives you touch today,

Sherin Mathews the 3 year old that died here in North Texas of what now has been determined a Homicidal Violence case. For those that might not know about this case Sherin was adopted by the Mathews couple who also has a biological child of their own. The explanation (after) the body was found was questionable being that cause of death was from being force fed milk and choking to death. the autopsy came back and was released today as Homicidal Violence. From what I have heard and read about this is the ultimate in the system letting this little girl down. Sadly enough there is still the question if they (the parents) should have the biological child taken away for good. This is where you come in because I would like very much for you to go to my blog and comment your thoughts on this matter.====>Read and React
It was great placement of the celebration of Christ Birthday a week before New Years. We all know that no one really knows the exact date of the Birth of Christ, therefore obviously someone chose December 25th as the date for the birth. There could not have been a better date (other than ===>Read More
It is a time of precious giving, giving of the only gift that can't be bought or wrapped; it's the giving of a gift greater than any amount of money can buy.
This season don't sweat the extravagant gifts you think that loved ones want or desire, give of yourself instead. As you age you won't remember the gifts but you will always remember===Read more
