They say life is somewhat complicated and unpredictable. It is indeed but it is because of our choices. We have our own freewill to do things and thus, we are responsible of whatever actions we take.

we may say that life is unpredictable because there are situations that we feel we are not going anywhere or shall we say there’s no longer hope and that we are in distress, desperate and yet along the way someone or something comes along to help us and make us realize that beyond the shadows of uncertainties, there is still a rainbow of hope. Unpredictable in a way that the least we expect things to take place, they happen either negatively or positively.

Life becomes complicated because of our own doings. These pertains to decisions we come up to just because we are being overpowered by our emotions without thinking that we could hurt others or our self as well. There could have been an easy way to dwell with; but sad to say, sometimes we choose to take our own.

along the process of discovering ourselves, we have to really be responsible enough because it is in our actions that speaks louder than any other outlet that we go through. seeking help and advice is one of the best thing to do. Instead of being alone, why not adhere ourselves to activities that enhances the best qualities and hidden talents that we have so that whatever problems that we may encounter, we still have other means not to take them seriously. And most of all, prayer is the best and most powerful tool to deal with our dilemmas. A positive outlook in life is one way to stay and look happy and young.

There’s a workplace trent that has been going since the mid - ’90s called "self-promotion." When I first heard of it, in the United States, it was relatively acceptable among self-employed entrepreneurs, freelancers, and even among those in the corporate world. Self-promotion, considered by some to be boasting and by others to be an art, means doing away with false modesty and applying creative and confident methods to market your products, services and yourslef. If you are aiming for a business deal, you simply have to be more aggressive (without looking it) in following up "silent" prospects; if you are writing a resume, you make it more elaborate than the usual facts - only approach. In short, you are telling future clients or employers that you will definitely be an asset to their company.

Strangely, Jesus’ words in today’s Gospel reminded me of self-promotion - maybe because at first glance it points ho Himself. "All power in heaven and on earth has been given to me." If these words were uttered by a cell phone salesman, or even by a priest, for exmaple, it would indeed sound like the self-promotion of the most ridiculous variety, but Jesus is Jesus, and in our guts we know he is not simply boasting about his products, services or himself, nor is he regarding us as prospective clients whose approval or affirmation he needs.

Jesus’ words are backed up by "performance" - his works, miracles, life attest to the power he has been given, and we know where tat power comes from. If we must call his declaration of power "self-promotion" so be it, but let it enable us to ensure that our self-promotion is supported by excellent performance and the "right connection." To be healthy and fruitful, self-promotion must recognize that true power comes from God, who is Love. At the end of today’s Gospel Jesus tells his disciples "I am with you always " Thus, his "Self-Promotion" is not meant to ultimately point to himself but to assure us that with such power as his we cannot but win. Aim for the "right connection" then realize that in promoting yourself you also have the welfare of others at heart,and you will always win.

Creatively
You worked your art
You spun a web
Around my heart
How beautifully
Your deeds have spread
Each intricately
Woven thread
With strands of care
You dried my tears
Your gentleness
Dispelled my fears
Your wisdom
Helped me understand
And patiently
You held my hand
To give me courage
To brave the storm
With kindness
You have kept me warm
Your passion
Lit a glowing fire
That filled my soul
With sweet desire
You’re all
That I was dreaming of
For the web you spun
Was made of love

You came into my life unexpectedly,
and everything took a turn for the better.
Your warm eyes, your laugh,
the sincere way you speak,
and the kindness you showed me,
all became a part of my life.

As you unfolded yourself to me,
I discovered more and more beauty.
I have never seen so much
gentleness in one person.
Without even knowing it,
you were slowly making a place
for yourself in my heart.

It used to seem so hard at times
to feel so close in a relationship.
But it’s so easy to feel close to you.
I can’t tell you how nice that feels.
I realize now that I had never known
what it meant to be loved
until I was loved by you.

A road might lead to anywhere to harder towns and grays or, to a witch is pointed hourse hidden by bristly trees.

It might lead past the tailors foot where he sews with needle and thread her by miss pim the millinet’s with her bats for every head.

It might be a road to a great, dark, cave with treasure and gold piled high or a road with a mountain tied to its end, blue humped against the sky.

Or, a road might lead you anywhere to Mexico or maine: But then, it might just fool you, and lead you back again.

A fire that is carefully stoked and tended will not burn out.
It will blaze so brightly that its warmth lingers in your heart.
It will beckon your tired soul and embrace you in its radiance.
The familiar smell of its smoke can bring a wistful smile,
and the occasional blast of fireworks can take your breath away.
Its sizzle can enthrall you; its flickering flames entrance you.
The glowing embers provide comforting heat,
and the knowledge that a subtle movement or gentle breeze
can rekindle a bonfire.
My love, the spark that ignited the day we met
remains an eternal flame.

The only way to navigate Love
Is to be lost within it
It is neither a beast to be conquered
Nor a thought to be cornered
You are a guest in its presence
A voyeur in the dark
So feast not
Rather be the feast
Worthy of legends
For there is no sweeter ecstasy
Than the nectar
That is the yearning of your heart

When her teen daughter reached that age when she finally got her menstruation, mom knew from her own mom’s guidance how she would prepare her daughter for this turning point in her life. This gave the daughter much reassurance, especialy knowing that her mother was never too far away to give her those needed tips on personal hygiene, the birds and the bees and what to watch out for as she matures into adulthood.

And when the daughter grows up and becomes pregnant herself, she is confronted with the fear of the unknown, "Am I ready to be a mother?" After all. she will be faced with the responsibility of nurturing her baby from the moment he or she is born. Simple things like knowing how to bathe that very delicate body, or hold that limp head, or sanitize the umbillical cord area are daunting to a new mom

Some moms would wish that there was a school to prepare them for all that, so that the joys of motherhood would be experienced from the very start.

Many people today apply credit card because of its advantages like for example if you are going to shop at the mall you don’t need to bring thousands of cash that can cause bulky into your bag and you can easily pay the things you bought in just one swipe away of your credit card.

Credit card will be the one who is responsible to pay the purchase you make. So, easy isn’t it? All of the card issuers can gain profit from variety of foundation such as annual fees that are being charged to the customers, also fees for those people who pay late or for short penalties and lastly they have small percentage of the cost of each purchase using your card.

So, think about it if you have credit card on how wonderful it is. That is why I am eager to have one. But take note you must not over used it because it may end you up down. Like for example using it everyday and when the bill arrived you will shock when you see you have thousands of dept that you can’t pay in just one month that is why be careful using your credit card. If you don’t have one take a glance of this website www.creditcardflyers.com one of the site that provides credit cards to the consumers. You can see excellent list of credit cards for you to choose which is the best for you.

Well the point I am suggesting that website it is because they have cash back credit cards which means it can save you thousands of money but it depends on the things you purchase. Get one of those if you don’t have one!

I need to make an okay living. The people who work for us need to. But after you make a comfortable living, how much more do you need? It’s like I make a joke about nerd values, because I’m very much in the rich nerd tradition. And you know, we say, like, hey, people pay us for this stuff, like programming. You know, what else do we need?
