 -- Quote of the Day --  “Visualize what your book will look like. …Go to the local bookstores …and walk up and down the aisle and ask the helper ‘where would I find a book on…’ and describe your book – and then to look at their competition, who else is writing a book on that topic, what are they saying about it, do they have other products, open up the book to the table of contents and see what they say about that topic. …This exercise is to inspire you and help you model some successful parts and define what you are going to cover in your book. …I don’t believe in writer’s block – it is simply fear or being not sure about what you want to say. Breaking through writer’s block comes down to your vision, your purpose for writing book – if you have a compelling driving force for that book, you’re going to get through it. …call someone – ask them what questions they would have on the topic, what they would want to know, if they know anyone who you could ...

-- Quote of the Day --  “It takes a lot of courage to release the familiar and seemingly secure, to embrace the new. But there is no real security in what is no longer meaningful.

-- Quote of the Day --  “When a person has a mental health challenge, we need to discover who is the person that suffers from the illness – stigma tends to de-humanize the person, we need to see them as a person. …Sometimes these are genetic based diseases, and by seeing them as consumers with challenges we can see them as innocents. We can’t put any blame on them; we can’t judge them. They are simply people with challenges that we may not have. …We have to back off on the stigma of mental illness. …Including them, they need to be part of the community as well. …Who ever told us or thought of the idea that the organs of the body get sick but that is only true from the neck down. But the brain is an organ – it means there is just another consumer out there with some health problems.” ~ Steve Brannon Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on January 1...

How to Properly Recycle Appliances - Why is this important?  * Today's article was written by: Gina Howard - an avid DIYer who has had to repair, replace, and recycle many appliances in her fixer upper home.  Gina is concerned about making DIY projects as green and eco-friendly as possible, and prefers to repair appliances if at all possible, but if not, making sure they do not go to a landfill and that they are properly recycled. When appliances break down or you simply want new ones, it is time to think about their disposal. It may seem easiest to throw small appliances in the trash, but this is wasteful and harmful in many ways. Appliances do not break down and disappear, and some large appliances, such as refrigerators and air conditioners, contain harmful substances, and some appliance parts can be repurposed and metal and steel recycled. In addition, refrigerators and freezers pose a danger for children who may become trapped inside. Fo...
