Stealing Coins From The Fountain

mimi — Tue, 23 Feb 2010 03:09:01 +0000

The Westin Hotel in LA has an awesome fountain in the lobby and being the curious person I am,I decided to check it out to see if anyone had dropped coins in there and sure enough,there were a bunch of coins in the water..suddenly a naughty thought occurred to me…..
Is it stealing if you take coins from a fountain?
Seriously.

The King and Dr.Nick

I’m one of 3 people in the entire world who aren’t obsessed with Elvis Presley.
I’ve never really understood what the big deal was about Elvis although I have to admit his moves impressed me.
I’m also one of 5 people who didn’t know the back story and controversy behind Elvis’ death until I picked up a copy of The King and Dr. Nick: What Really Happened to Elvis and Me.

Regardless of what you think about Dr.George Nichopoulos, you have to hand it to the man for being loyal to Elvis and staying loyal to him even years after his death. This man clearly cared a great deal about Elvis Presley and it shows in every line in his book. Its sad he lost his career in the aftermath of the King’s death but flipping through the book,you don’t detect any anger or bitterness…just an underlying tone of regret that he didn’t have the knowledge he has today.Too bad he can’t turn back the clock and re-do everything.

The King and Dr. Nick: What Really Happened to Elvis and Me is a special loving tribute from a wronged friend to Elvis Presley.In the book,the doctor gives his side of his life with and after Elvis.Whether you believe him or not,you owe it to yourself to read this book–if for nothing,to at least catch a glimpse of Elvis at his best,while performing for the adoring crowds.

You are beautiful

Worrying does not empty tomorrow of its trouble, It empties today of its strength

What makes me weak? My fears…..

What makes me whole? My God.

What keeps me standing? My faith.

What makes me compassionate? My selflessness.

What makes me honest? My integrity.

What sustains my mind? My quest for knowledge.

What teaches me all lessons? My mistakes.

What lift’s my head high? My pride, not arrogance.

What if I can’t go on? Not an option.

What makes me victorious? My courage to climb.

What makes me competent? My confidence .

What makes me sensual? My insatiable essence.

What makes me beautiful? My everything.

What makes me a woman? My heart .

Who says I need love? I do.

What empowers me? My God & Me.

Who am I? I AM A PROUD STRONG WOMAN!

Life is all about asses

Life is all about asses.
You’re either covering it,
Laughing it off,
Kicking it,
Kissing it,
Busting it,
Trying to get a piece of it,
Or behaving like one.

On an inspirational roll

Be kinder than necessary because everyone you meet is fighting some kind of battle.
A sharp tongue can cut your own throat.
If you want your dreams to come true, you mustn’t oversleep.
Of all the things you wear, your expression is the most important.
The best vitamin for making friends….. B1.
The happiness of your life depends on the quality of your thoughts.
The heaviest thing you can carry is a grudge..
One thing you can give and still keep…is your word.
You lie the loudest when you lie to yourself.
If you lack the courage to start, you have already finished.
One thing you can’t recycle is wasted time.
Ideas won’t work unless ‘you’ do.
Your mind is like a parachute……it functions only when open.
The 10 commandments are not a multiple choice.
The pursuit of happiness is the chase of a lifetime!
It is never too late to become what you might have been.
Life is too short to wake up with regrets.
So love the people who treat you right.
Forget about the one’s who don’t.
Believe everything happens for a reason.
If you get a second chance, grab it with both hands.
If it changes your life, let it.
Nobody said life would be easy, they just promised it would be worth it.
Friends are like balloons; once you let them go, you might not get them back.
Sometimes we get so busy with our own lives and problems that we may not even notice that we’ve let them fly away.
Sometimes we are so caught up in who’s right and who’s wrong that we forget what’s right and wrong.

I really love this

‘To get something you never had, you have to do something you never did.’ When God takes something from your grasp, He’s not punishing you, but merely opening your hands to receive something better. Concentrate on this sentence… ‘The will of God will never take you where the Grace of God will not protect you if you know him as Lord………….

There comes a point in your life when you realize:

Who matters,
Who never did,
Who won’t anymore…
And who always will.
So, don’t worry about people from your past,
there’s a reason why they didn’t make it to your future.

One Flaw In Women

mimi — Wed, 27 Jan 2010 06:34:15 +0000

Women have strengths that amaze men.
They bear hardships and they carry burdens,
but they hold happiness, love and joy.

They smile when they want to scream.
They sing when they want to cry.
They cry when they are happy
and laugh when they are nervous.
They fight for what they believe in.
They stand up to injustice.

They don’t take “no” for an answer
when they believe there is a better solution.

They go without so their family can have.
They go to the doctor with a frightened friend.

They love unconditionally.
They cry when their children excel
and cheer when their friends get awards.

They are happy when they hear about
a birth or a wedding.
Their hearts break when a friend dies.
They grieve at the loss of a family member,
yet they are strong when they
think there is no strength left.
They know that a hug and a kiss
can heal a broken heart.

Women come in all shapes, sizes and colours.

They’ll drive, fly, walk, run or e-mail you
to show how much they care about you.

The heart of a woman is what
makes the world keep turning.

They bring joy, hope and love.
They have compassion and ideas.
They give moral support to their
family and friends.

Women have vital things to say
and everything to give.

HOWEVER, IF THERE IS ONE FLAW IN WOMEN,
IT IS THAT THEY FORGET THEIR WORTH.

Do you believe this?

God doesn’t give you the people you want,
He gives you the people you NEED….
To help you, to hurt you, to leave you, to love you and to make you into the person you were meant to be.

Cleaning House

mimi — Sun, 24 Jan 2010 03:42:26 +0000

Last Week I threw out worrying, it was getting old and in the way.
It kept me from being me; I couldn’t do things God’s way.

I threw out a book on MY PAST
(Didn’t have time to read it anyway).

Replaced it with NEW GOALS, started reading it today.

I threw out hate and bad memories,
(Remember how I treasured them so)?

Got me a NEW PHILOSOPHY too, threw out the one from long ago.

Brought in some new books too, called I CAN, I WILL, and I MUST.

Threw out I might, I think and I ought.
WOW, you should’ve seen the dust.

I ran across an OLD FRIEND, I hadn’t talked to in a while.

His name is GOD the Father, and I really like His style.

He helped me to do some cleaning and added some things Himself.

Like PRAYER, HOPE, FAITH and LOVE,
Yes… I placed them right on the shelf.

I picked up this special thing and placed it at the front door..

I FOUND IT- it’s called PEACE.. Nothing gets me down anymore.

Yes, I’ve got my house looking nice.

Looks good around the place.

For things like Worry and Trouble there just isn’t any space.

It’s good to do a little house cleaning,
Get rid of the things on the shelf.

It sure makes things brighter; maybe you should TRY IT YOURSELF..
BE BLESSED AND BE A BLESSING TO SOMEONE ELSE!!!!
May the Lord open the windows of heaven and pour you out a blessing that
you will not have room enough to receive it all.

May the Lord bless you exceedingly abundantly above all you could ever
hope for.

Take 60 seconds & Bless someone!

The Sweet By and By

When I heard country music superstar Sara Evans had written a book,I rolled my eyes – seriously.I’m just being honest here.I know she’s an amazing singer but I didn’t think she could write.I’m glad to report back to you that not only can she write but The Sweet By and By,her collaboration with Rachel Hauck is a surprisingly entertaining page turner.

The book has a solid theme and it is well written.I can say for certain its one of those books you will read in one sitting because once you start,you wont want to put it down until the very last page.Will the book win any literature awards?No…and I doubt thats what Sara Evans was aiming for when she worked on The Sweet By and By but for a first time author,Sara Evans did a really good job and hopefully this is just the beginning of many more great stories to come.
