-- Poetry -- Occasionally I like to share some of my published poetry here on this blog. I have in fact another book of poetry coming out this winter, however these 2 poems were excerpted from my first book - Towards Understanding , a collection of 125 of the best poems I'd written between the ages of 16 - 25 or so. *I have a new book coming out this winter with poetry written from 25-42 years of age.   MY DOOR, EVERMORE Soft, shallow music flowing, Birds whispering their quiet, undemanding love, Lustrous trees bending to the powerful wind That’s just outside my door - evermore. Can’t you hear the music from where you stand? The echoed chirps of love? Can you feel the wind blowing, my friend? Just outside my open door – evermore. Inside the open door Is a small, neat, cozy mat. And on its face clearly written: welcome. To your right is a place for your hat. Inside my door - everm...

The original file that I have doesn't have that going on so it must have gotten garbled in the world of technology when the blogger loaded this on to her site. Apologies in advance to our readers :) ...s...

 -- Quote of the Day --  “Reading – we all know that reading is important, it is a critical good habit… 88% of the wealthy in my study, they read 30 min or more each day of self-help, self-improvement, career related material; compare that to 2% of the poor. …The wealthy people their lives are all about continuous self improvement, so they read – they read 2 or more education books a month, so 24 books a year at a minimum. Poor people don’t do this – if they do read they read for entertainment. …79% of the wealthy network 5 hours or more per month verses 16% for the poor. …The habits that we pick up in life, 40% of the day is habit, so you are on auto pilot – if your parents did not teach you success habits, then 40% of the time you are on autopilot living poverty habits and life is bad. …66% of the wealthy watch 1 hour or less of TV per day; verses the average individual watching 6 hours of TV per day. …Even if you shaved off one hour and used it for...
