    ATTENTION – 1001 Ways to Be Romantic

    ATTENTION – 1001 Ways to Be Romantic

    Well, I must say, this isn’t usually what I would read. As far as romance goes, I have believed that there is nothing anyone could tell me that I DON’T KNOW… and there was me who got somehow caught up in the book when I picked it up at a friends last weekend.

    Romance has always been obvious to me, but I realised that I seemed to have ‘forgotten’ what the real ‘little’ things in life are that I value. So here I was… 1001 Ways to Be Romantic helped me to remember. I promise you, the book is exactly what it suggests and I got to say, make sure you got your notepad and your pen ready when you go through the book as there will be points you will want to write down. I did!

    Dare I say, (and sorry), but this book is especially useful for you males out there and may be JUST what you are looking for. You should read it!

    • LYRICS:

    Oh baby oh would I lie to you??
    Look into my eyes
    Can’t you see they’re open wide
    Would I lie to you??

    CHORUS:
    Look into my eyes
    Can’t you see they’re open wide
    Would I lie to you baby??
    Would I lie to you??…oh yeah
    Don’t you know it’s true
    Girl there’s no-one else but you
    Would I lie to you baby??
    Would I lie to you??

    Everybody wants to know the truth
    In my arms is the only proof
    I’ve hidden my heart behind the bedroom door
    Now it’s open I can’t do no more
    I’m telling you baby…
    You will never find another girl in this heart of mine

    CHORUS:
    Look into my eyes
    Can’t you see they’re open wide
    Would I lie to you baby??
    Would I lie to you??…oh yeah
    Don’t you know it’s true
    Girl there’s no-one else but you
    Would I lie to you baby??
    Would I lie to you??

    When you wanna see me night and day (would I lie??)
    If I tell you that I’m here to stay (would I lie to you??)
    Do you think I give my love away?? (would I lie??)
    That’s not the kind of game I play
    I’m telling you baby…
    You will never find another girl in this heart of mine

    CHORUS:
    Look into my eyes
    Can’t you see they’re open wide
    Would I lie to you baby??
    Would I lie to you??…oh yeah
    Don’t you know it’s true
    Girl there’s no-one else but you
    Would I lie to you baby??
    Would I lie to you??

    Trust me baby
    Hey aint no-one else but you child
    Come on, Come on, Come on…
    Trust me baby
    I wouldn’t lie to you baby

    Secret Behaviours of Successful Bastards

    Secret Behaviours of Successful Bastards

    Link submitted by Jack

    Good old Jack.

    Jack send me another good link today ‘“Secret Habits of Successful Bastards”. I wasn’t sure what category to post this in, as it could be as much “Law of Attraction”, “Laughter” OR “I Love Money”? Well, I decided for “I Love Money” in the end. ;-)

    … lets face it, we all have a “little” bastard in us, but when we need him to show up, I am quite certain that some of us are quite scared.

    Did you know that most successful people I know have no hesitation about being a bastard? And yes, some of them are even more successful because of it. I bet even you like to be one of them.

    a) Here you can learn how to become one of those successful Bastards.

    b) Here you can learn the secret behaviours those Bastards use to get wealthy, powerful and happy.

    Follow the link to take the “Bastardometer” test and see how much of a Bastard already lives ’silently’ in you (and yes, also others)…

    Click on the link below to read all about the secrets: www.successfulbastards.com

    Below is the link to the self-help book for people who are to nice to ever be successful – “Secret Habits of Successful Bastards”

    I am sure we all have a “Bastard” story to tell. If you want to share yours, post them here.

    Personal Finance, Credit Reports, Credit Scores, and Hard and Soft Pulls

    Personal Finance, Credit Reports, Credit Scores, and Hard and Soft Pulls

    Most of us seem to have quite a number of questions about Credit Reports, Credit Scores and the Hard and Soft Pulls… Funny enough, I have had an e-mail a couple of days ago which will answer most of the questions I have been asked in previous e-mails.

    => What’s a credit report?
    => What’s a credit score?
    => Why is my Equifax score different from my Experian and TransUnion credit scores?
    => What’s a “hard pull” and a “soft pull”?
    => What are inquiries?
    => What can I do to maximize my credit score?

    If questions like this are bothering you, click on the link below for some answers:

    Grandma Moses

    Grandma Moses

    Anna Mary Robertson Moses (1860-1961), known to the nation as Grandma Moses died at the age of 101.

    By Neil Eskelin

    At the age of eighty, a farmer’s wife in Cambridge, Virginia, suffered from painful arthritis. The mother of ten children and many grandchildren — and great-grandchildren — loved to do needlework, but her fingers could no longer manipulate the large needle to embroider.

    The elderly woman looked for something else that would keep her occupied and found she could hold a small paintbrush much easier than a needle. So she tried her hand painting. She thought her farm and country scenes were good enough to show at the Cambridge Fair, but only won prizes for her jams and canned fruit. There were no blue ribbons for her art.

    Then one day an art collector from New York City was traveling through the village and noticed several of her paintings for sale in a local drug store. When he showed them to his friends in the art circles of Manhattan, they were more than curious.

    Soon, ‘Grandma Moses’ gained an international reputation. Her widely-collected works of art were featured on calendars, greeting cards and in exhibitions in leading galleries including the Modern Museum of Art in New York.

    Even more amazing, twenty-five percent of her 1,500 popular paintings were done after she was 100!

    There goes to show again that age does not matter and if our heart is in it, you can do anything!

    Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight

    Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight

    Jill Bolte Taylor has become a brain researcher and she studied her own stroke as it happened.

    An amazing, astonishing story with a BIG message! Everything is so connected!

    20 minutes and 11 seconds WELL WORTH watching!!!

    Jill Bolte Taylor got a research opportunity only few brain scientists would wish for. A blood vessel in Jill’s brain exploded and she suffered a massive stroke, and watched as her brain functions such as

    - motion
    - speech
    - memory
    - self-awareness

    shut down one by one.

    Jill spend 8 years recovering her ability to think, walk and also talk. Even though the stroke damaged the left side of her brain, her recovery unleashed a torrent of creative energy Jill has come back stronger than before and she has become a powerful voice for brain recovery.

    Jill Bolte Taylor: My stroke of insight

    “How many brain scientists have been able to study the brain from the inside out? I’ve gotten as much out of this experience of losing my left mind as I have in my entire academic career.”
    ~ Jill Bolte Taylor
