No Time To Meditate?
Are you one of those people who says, "I used to meditate" or "I meditate sometimes" but "I can't keep it up because I don't have time"? Meditation comes in many forms - and it may be something you do without noticing. Last week I had lunch with a friend, Tim, who, with only a little prompting, began to rhapsodize about fly fishing. You know, standing hip-deep in a stream, casting and waiting and reeling them in, only to let them go, because after all, this is about the experience, not about eating the fish. It had always seemed kind of silly to me, but not when Tim got done telling me about it. He told me about the wonders of being still, connected to all of nature, hearing the rush of water over...

The 1980s was a glorious decade to say the least. This decade initiated great cultural and technological advances which still are shaping the world in which we live today. Companies launched in this decade include CNN, MTV, USA Today, and technology unleashed in this decade were the video recorder, personal computer, compact discs, satellite dishes and the grandaddy of video games today - Pac-Man. Meanwhile, in the rest of the country, babies were nursing, beggining to crawl, walk or talk. These were no ordinary babies - but Star Babies. Of course at the time they were oblivious to their potential and the influence that they would later have on the lives of all of us. What made these Star Babies...

I recently came through a week of very hard work, chaotic energy and long hours. As I reviewed my goals and progress for the week, I realized that I couldn't remember much of anything that happened during that week. It was all a muddled blur in my mind, one day blending into the next. I do believe that hard work is good for us. However, if we don't also include periods of rest, quiet contemplation and recreation, what are we working so hard for? We must also make time to enjoy the fruits of our labor. They say "a woman's work is never done", but this holds true for men also. Work in general is never done - which is a good thing really, because if there is no more work to be done, there is no more...

The Different Types Of Autism Treatment
Autism refers to a brain disorder, which typically affects a child's ability to communicate, form relationships, and respond appropriately to the environment.

Publish Anything: The Saga of a PublishAmerica...

She claimed it was a traditional book publisher. I was struck with their slogan, "We treat writers the old fashioned way - we pay them." Wasn't that what publishers were supposed to do? But since my novel was just sitting on the DiskUs Publishing site and doing nothing but supplying me with enough money to buy a pair of skate laces every three months, I thought maybe it would have a better chance over at PublishAmerica where it would be available as a trade size paperback both on...
