Does anybody really care?...

so goes the song, so goes the Presidency.
He' s in we did it horay... so let him work now that's why we worked to get him elected right?
hope not. He can't do it alone and neither can congress.
why?

simple a car needs a driver, navigator too; that is YOU ! all of us.
the loudest squeeks will be heard, go silent and guess who's there?
The machinery is place in Washington - has been for centuries - for the rich and the big interest groups to get what they want passed. See the legally blond 2 or was it 3 - they were great -weren't they!

If we want to see change rather than keep forking it over at the pump, grocery store and everywhere we need to cut dependance on foreign oil and energy...

We need to ad it to our personal targets or goals and plans to do something daily or weekly or what ever. It takes FOCUS and the machinery in place in DC has that focus. They also have the experiece and no how to push their ajendas - just look at the padding on these bail out bills - man just send me about 5 million - no one will even miss it... I won't mind a 1/2 million bonus as a cap on my radio show giving it to me annually -would you?

If we want to see change we have to be the change. you in?

From the desk of T. Boone Pickens
Boone here.
I promised to tell you, every month, whether or not we are making progress on cutting down on imported oil.
In January, I reported to you that in December we had imported just under 380 million barrels of oil at a cost of $19.3 billion.
Today I am reporting on the January imports In January, according to the Department of Energy, we imported ­­­­­­­­­­­­­408.7 million barrels which cost the United States ­­about $17 billion, so the transfer of wealth from America to foreign governments is continuing.
That’s an increase of about 7 percent over December’s imports. But, here’s the thing: Congress is in the final stages of putting together a stimulus package to send to the President.
As a member of the New Energy Army I am counting on you to stand with me. I need you to visit www.PickensPlan.com/action today to contact your U.S. Senators about the stimulus package. Let’s make certain they understand how important the Pickens Plan is to America’s future.

Hard Ice...

Wow what can be done with rock hard ice...?
We visited the Chinese Ice carvings exhibit at the Texan resort in
Grapevine, TX - what they can do with ice... wow...
the 16 -18 foot high angel and her wings that stayed in place? - WOW...

I covered the sand paintings of Tibetan monks
beautiful and temporary - just like the sand paintings
of the Hopi. The creation is in the making of them;
the destruction of them is a reminder that time sweeps away all things on planet earth.
Swami Shivananda:
"Time sweeps away..
Kings and Presidents...
Where is Gandaji...
where is Kennedy...

So Be up and doing yoga Sadhana
you will attain
immortality..."

Many of us 'decide' to loose 10, 20 or even 50 #'s for a new years resolution.
how many of us do it?
why not?

Because our words, or will, has no power...
How to get the power?
easy, very simple actually...
Do you want to know the secrete?

OK, you can spend a life time at a Masters feet to get this...
or many ...
You could spend $5000 or more at Tony Robbins workshop ...
to get this...
or more...

Are you willing to pay the price?
OK, do what you say you will do.

If you say you will be at a place 10 minutes early - be there...
no excuses or accidents or weather stopping you...

If you will always do what you say...
your words will have power.

You will ~will have power.
You have the power now~
how will you use it? or loose it?

now that you know... there can be no more victims only creators.
And as a creator - you are now in control of your destiny...

can things stop you ? yes they can - - if you let them stop you.

So like an Olympic Ice skater
- if you should fall down - get up and keep going...

Where will you be if you keep trying and fail a 1000 times like Col Sanders?
Where you be if you don't try...

Take a look at the yesterdays post from 8 Beams if a slumdog can you can...
If ~ you just have to want to...

So if you want to have a great year...
& if you don't want to - have more of the same -
you are the years creator...

I toast your creative abilities....

Focus practice: try the gazing at a light switch on the other side of a 20 foot room.
slowly walk over to it without loosing focus on the item ( could be a flower or anything)
keep you mind & ideas on it. If it wavers,
start again,
and again...
well and over and over until
your mind will just rest with focus on the light switch...

The real test here is to have a list of things in your plan to do daily.
and do at least one more than you think you can do...

little steps you will loose the weight, stop the smoking, etc.
but if you goal includes eating right for life... then you can merrily keep going.
if you stop the smoking then what?
if this is just another step in you plan - wow you know you are on the way...

Keep sailing,
keep the colored sands flowing, the ice carving...
you grand creator you...

Wild Turky...

Happy Thanksgiving...

A great day to count our blessings and see how we are doing...
You know the cup 1/2 full or 1/2 empty...

The Turkey -

The Original Thanksgiving Turkey was a wild turkey ~a very smart bird; wild ones don't stand around getting fat in the rain and drown like the farm raised ones, purportedly do.

Ben Franklin wanted the wild turkey as the official bird for our new nation - not a bird of prey.

So as you are doing your thanksgiving meditation today, focus on your qualities, note any that are like the farm raised turkey ...

And take steps to more like the Wild Turkey = smart, fast, lean, colorful when needed camouflaged when not, and vegetarian :-)

Have a wonderful Thanks giving...

Greetings to your higherside !

OK the meditation?
a- sit quietly, maybe outside like in this perfect Dallas day ~the hight of the Fall color in the trees...
alough you mind to explore what you like about yourself, the things you did that you like, things thankfull you did.
b-next when they arise or come into view - note the things you didn't like about yourself, or that you didn't do ie: I could have taken 30 seconds and stopped to help that hobbling lady get up the steps... what ever - make a note of them.

Oh, how to change our habits?
Ah, yes

1- Awareness - what are the habits? to find out look at the outcomes you are producing.
2- KIV what are the outcomes you want? Keep In View the outcome i.e.: put a 3x5 card with 135 #'s written on it, stand on it daily - when you get up and just before bed, and see it there.
3- make a plan, go to weight watchers if you need a plan...etc.
4- Follow the plan
5- KIV ~ check your progress with your outcome
6- Make adjustments to get step by step to your outcome. You can use the rubber band on the wrist and snap it when you take the bite of chocolate cake, if you need too :-)
keep the punishment very light, in moderation.
