Putting words into the readers mind is an art. A clean a crisp description requires a certain flair that only creative vision can supply. The way an article gets woven together word by word, each sentence and paragraph into one complete article, illuminate the essence of the article.

It’s like baking a delicious Apple pie, whereby the main ingredience is the creative article. For some people creativity comes natural. Many others experience a writer’s block, the creative sap stops flowing, in their mind.

What I find helpful is to let my mind ramble in relaxed meditation. I close my eyes in a quiet surrounding area. This helps me to de-clutter useless ideas. My focus becomes sharper in perspective.

Always keep you pen, pencil and notepad handy to write down the flow of inspiration. Here lies some funky stuff that happens on white paper. It comes from the deep reservoir of your mind. Thoughts that are reference and reconstructed, when coupled together, create uniqueness.

Create Your Mood

·       Surround your environment with things that goad your creativity.

·       Create a Collage where you can read and see the pictures, to get your creative juices flowing.

·       Realize what keys unlock your creativity?

·       Take a mini vacation and do something fabulous. It takes the boredom out of life and works wonders to stimulate your adrenaline for optimum creativity.

Writing an article doesn’t have to be mundane but exciting, to keep your readers panting for more…

I love my medium size Collage, which I hung on the wall behind my computer. It has trigger words that stimulate my libido. This works for me and it will too for you.

Today in a slower moving economy, using a Plan “B” back-up strategy in job stabilization is the way to go, when your job is at jeopardy.

This past March 64,000 people lost their jobs __ The Bureau of Labor Statistics. The number of unemployed persons was up to 132 million. It’s enough to make anyone feel down in the dumps.

Here are some helpful solutions to secure job safety:

ü Show the boss your value with focus task to cut cost and decrease spending.

ü Set-up an extra income stream that doesn’t depend on your current job. Example: A Handy-Man Repair Business. It will give you complete control over your time and pay check.

These days to survive, it is common sense today to have multiple income streams. If one falters then the other moves in to fill the gap.

I say, “Restrictions can’t terminate you.

           Trouble can’t terminate you.

            Other people can’t terminate you.

            Only you can terminate you.”

If you need to adjust, you have to adjust. All it takes is the desire and going after adjustment with passion.

Without delay apply Plan “B” Strategy, to recoup lost revenue for a brighter future. It’s worth the risk of change.

“Are you sneezing your head off and wondering, why?”

Spending more than what you can afford?

It’s time to trim down the refills. Curtail on spending more than what you can afford in your gas tank. Your hard earned money should not wrap around your gasoline bill alone. There are more important things to consider.

Gas savings means maximizing the amount of gasoline use, thus giving better gas mileage. This approach would give you more than what you paid for. If you must drive on a daily schedule saving more and maximizing consumption would definitely be beneficial with the gasoline sliding scale pricing these days. Helpful tips are these reminders:

§  A regular tune up = longer vehicle life and better gas mileage and less gasoline refills

§  Do you like to race? Driving faster waste gas and can land you in trouble. Simply driving slower saves you money. If you drive at 105 kilometer per hour instead of 88 kph your gas use increase gasoline up to 17%, simply overspending.

§  Check your filters = clean air filters perks up your gas mileage up to 10%. This will ensure optimum engine durability for your car.

§  Use gentle Braking = Try to know ahead of time, in traffic to apply steady brake. Frequent starts and stopping consume gasoline more than 18%.

§  Check all 4 tires for proper inflation. Keep inflated per manufacturer instruction manual. Note that under inflated tires can increase gas use by 1%. Well inflated tires decrease faster deterioration and saves money on gas.

§  Lower velocity wind resistance = It’s best to keep windows closed for highway driving to reduce less drag and more gas consumption.

All in all, to get the most from increased gas prices and coupon savings, these few adjustments to your car can really help you to save gasoline at the pump. Cost-effective is being cautious where your money goes and to save money.

Ever since I could remember, neither rain, sleet or snow ever stopped the mail delivery. Most everyone had their own jingle for the postman or post woman. A much admired person, in the neighborhood.  The American Business Heritage is an important stamp.

Amazing thing, mail delivery is older than our country. However, in these days the mail has to perform a balancing act to survive, financial deficits. It’s definitely no routine business as expected caused by the following changes:

ü $5.9 billion cost cuts

ü $5.2 billion in pieces in dropped mail volume

ü $50 million for construction, new facilities; executive salaries frozen

If no remedy, United States Postal Service would be down, in planned volume by 12 to 15 billion mail pieces says, __ Officials.

Have you noticed the longer line wait, in the Post Office from staff employee cuts: It’s still great to experience the high quality and courteous service given in recession? What I have learned waiting in line. If each one does our part not grumbling by inconvenience, like an oasis where drops of rain water accumulate we all can make a contribution to refresh peace. It’s the greatest gift of wisdom from one generation to the next that comes from experience.

Looking at last year alone, for every penny raise, high fuel consumption increased operations costs to operate 200,000 vehicles…$8million. If no change, the reserve funds will wear out for the postal service says, John Potter, Post Master General. It’s tough grid in coping. Unused facilities are being sold. No bailout is sought by the Postal System just a holler for help from the government, while there is still time.

In Congress, Blair noticed he could give attention and set apart money to address needs without using taxpayers’ funds, since Congress funds free mail for the blind overseas.

Planning ahead to reduce future mail crisis the subcommittee chairman _ Stephen Lynch _ D_ Mass stated, “ The Postal Service faces budget shortfalls. There are many options to think about to restore financial stability without cutting service to a 5 day work week.” The Post Master General will not receive any bonus raise this year under the current climate in recession. Without congressional intervention, USPS will run out of money this year.

There is wonderful knowledge out there in cyberspace.

Is it easy to stop anytime you want to?

“Have you updated your business functions lately?”

Developing good advertising ethics requires that you generally practice that honored saying, “the customer is always right.” Dissatisfied customers may be downright, unreasonable but if you treat them with courtesy and as precious, they will return. Anyone who has dealt with them knows that fact.

Having a website business online today, offers plenty of perks over a brick-and-mortar business. Using the process of automation, for many business functions helps you to enjoy:

1)         Flexible scheduled hours

2)         Lower business overhead expenses

3)         No property leases

4)         A productive, quiet work atmosphere

5)         The potential to generate more money

When you provide good customer service and stand behind your promises to customers, it will increase your chance of success. However, the only drawback with a website business is that your customers don’t have face-to-face contact with you. Hopefully, your love and business passion will help elevate their trust and establish your credibility as an upright, ethical person.

Let’s say you advertised a product with a money back guarantee, you got to stand behind your promise. Be forewarned that some people will take advantage of such offers but they are few in numbers. Just one disgruntled customer can put a terrible mark on your reputation.

Here’s a prime example:

ü You put a page up on your website with a offer good through a certain date

ü A date typing error happen that was your mistake

ü You did not want the additional time, realizing it after you published the offer

Good advertising ethics requires that you stand behind what you publish related to the extended time period. Why? If you correct the date, and the customer returns to purchase your product, you stand by the offer. You can turn this situation around to your advantage. Above the offer you can insert a note telling your customers you made an error, but will still honor the offer. Your customers may think that your advertising ethics must be impeccable, thus you may gain more sales that increase personal business relationships, knowing you didn’t have to honor it but you did!

In fact, if one customer has been treated unfairly, the word can spread to their friends and online message boards. For a good source, see Advertising Ethics. A happy customer will tend to blow the trumpet for upright advertising principles.

I do hope that this inormation is helpful. Kindly leave your comments. Thanks.

How could we cope?

Still after twenty years dad’s injury impinged our lives. Not only were two of his senses stolen, but some of his memory was taken as well. Life for dad was not easy after the severe brain injury.

Many individuals and a lot of medical assistance were utilized.

Here’s what happened. I was eleven years old when my family was in a severe tractor-trailer accident. I managed to walk away with a mild concussion and a few stitches. My mother’s injuries were more serious. My father died twice that winter day. The heroic effort of many people revived dad’s life and brought him back to us. He laid hospitalized, in a coma, for fourteen days. Dad was a patient suffering from a severe brain injury. Sometime later, he did recover somewhat. However the doctors were not overly optimistic about just how extensive his brain injury would be. We were doubtful that he would be able to speak or function as he once did before. After all the tests results were in the doctor’s hands, we finally would know his fate. A part of his brain no longer functioned. Dad was unable to taste or smell. The accident had caused irreversible trauma to his brain.

“My tears fell like rain, when his life was changed.”

In the United States alone it is estimated that 1.4 million people will suffer a brain injury from falling or being involved in a motor vehicle accident that top the list every year. Some individuals with head and brain injuries are treated and released, while others have perished. I was happy to forget my mild concussion injury in a short time. But when you ask anyone affected with a severe brain injury how easy it is to go on with their life, they will tell a far different narrative.

Very comforting is knowing that help is out there for you. You are not alone with this battle. Many other victims share the same stories that you do. So don’t be afraid to reach out within their support network at your fingertips.

A good starting source to get started for concise information is The Brain Injury Association of America. Helping the brain injured to cope through traumatic times is there specialty area of concern. The only thing you simply have to do is reach out for help.

I do hope this information is helpful. Kindly leave your comments. Thanks.
