Here are some lovely quotes that I recently found which really mean something to me:
Never worry about the size of your Christmas tree. In the eyes of children, they are all 30 feet tall.
~Larry Wilde, The Merry Book of Christmas
Blessed is the season which engages the whole world in a conspiracy of love!
~Hamilton Wright Mabie
Christmas is forever, not for just one day,
for loving, sharing, giving, are not to put away
like bells and lights and tinsel, in some box upon a shelf.
The good you do for others is good you do yourself…
~Norman Wesley Brooks, “Let Every Day Be Christmas,” 1976

This time last year, GetFreeWebDesigns.com launched as the newest open source web design community and it now houses over 570 free XHTML template designs.
Today, almost a year later, a new public forum has been added to the site and now visitors can join in the discussions.
Learn and discuss web design topics such as HTML, XHTML, CSS, PHP and other programming languages, as well as comment about specific templates. There’s also a classified section to offer or request web design or programming services.
I am quite certain that in no time this forum will be very active and it will be very interesting to watch it grow. GFWD is the 4th open source community that I’ve been a been part of and a lot of the core members have stuck together through all kinds of ups and downs to continue sharing our knowledge and our work with the world.
We hope to see you there.

“Obstacles don’t have to stop you. If you run into a wall, don’t turn around and give up. Figure out how to climb it, go through it, or work around it.”

It really is. I mean I have the worst time managing mine. Before I know it, it’s like bed-time for most folks and I don’t feel like I’ve accomplished anything.
Meanwhile, if the truth be told, I’m way too hard on myself. I’m a mother, a housekeeper, an artist and an entrepreneur, and friend to a few…not necessarily in that order. But do you see what I mean?
Something’s gotta give which is why I had to publicly post about my vacation goals. I had to let the universe know my intentions so that it can in turn guide me to the best way to achieve them!
So back to my time…I never seem to have enough of it. My days and nights fly by. I spend many a night falling asleep at this computer and that is taking it’s toll on this ole’ body of mine.
So I’m going to have to let some things slide a little longer. Like housework. Surely my real friends don’t care if there are a few extra dust bunnies in my home?
And as of this writing, I’m assigning myself a new curfew. I will shut down earlier at night and get some more rest. I know that is my biggest problem. Being sleep deprived makes me lose focus and that’s how mistakes are made or accidents happen.
Tomorrow’s another day so goodnight, world.

When my parents and some aunts and uncles were alive, they did not have access to the technology that is available today. Medical Alert technology has become widely sought after by our increased aging population and I can see incredible value and the need for products in this niche.
Imagine – as a son or daughter, or grandchild – and someone older whom you love is having mobility problems because of sickness or age? You worry about them falling and how will they get to the phone, don’t you? You worry if you can’t get to them on time, who will?
They can’t get to a phone usually if they were to fall but with a Medical Alert system that offers Fall Detection, emergency personnel are alerted wherever they are at any given time. And I think that would be very comforting, indeed. And it’s technology like this that makes me excited because it helps people and could even save lives.
This is when technology is a good thing.
Of course, technology does come with a price, and I wish companies would understand that there are people who desperately need this service but not everyone can afford yet another monthly fee. Perhaps a lite version of the technology could be created to solve the problem?
Personally, if it was my loved one, I would be paying the monthly fee if I could, or split the cost with siblings just so our family could have peace of mind. However, I would like to see Medical Alert products created more affordably for everyone to use.
After all, everyone deserves to be protected and safe.
