Roz on All Levels

I put this blog up months ago because I wanted to have a voice.  I have so much to share, but for the life of me, I don’t know where to begin.  Did that ever happen to you?

It’s kind of where my life is these days – One foot here, the other foot there and I just can’t get both feet planted firmly in one place!  That says a whole lot about me at this time in my life.

But you know…  I do not think I am alone and that is why I am sharing this.  IT IS OK to be at a turning point or at a point of breakthrough in your life. The idea is to take the time to enjoy the journey — after all, the journey is ours to enjoy!

When I first put the blog up, I was on a roll, but then my host’s server crashed and everything I had done here was lost. A lesson well learned, now I use the Wordpress Backup Plugin to backup the blog a couple of times a day, whether I’ve worked on it or not! On the other hand, I temporary lost my voice!  Trust me, that won’t last long!

I invite you to comment in the COMMENTS area below.

There are absolutely no words that can describe how my heart aches for Patrick Swayze and his family.  Patrick fought the good fight… but he suffered so.

It is times like this when we ask ourselves WHY? 

But, this was a man who fought up until the end and I am sure – together with his wife — created many good lasting memories.

My heart goes out to his family, friends, loved ones, business associates and fans.  May their hearts heal quickly and ONLY the good memories live on.

I just visited a blog and it bugged me with all this nonsense about CHANGING who you are.  I LIKE ME!  It took me a lifetime to get to know THE REAL ROZ!

Yes… I am always looking for ways to improve, which I look at as growth. Growth is good. Growth is fun and learning new things is fun and healthy, it keeps one young and in touch.

I was brought up by non-emotionally supportive parents.  I was never good enough.  I was never like their friend’s children, they never liked my friends, I embarrassed them (only in their heads), etc. etc. It was non-ending!

Finally in 2002 or 2003 when I did my first program with Tony Robbins ~ “Get The Edge,” I unloaded all that old junk (for lack of a more colorful word).  Tony’s simple statement “Your Past Is Not Your Future” freed me forever. Before that I used to say: “I am where I came from,” or “I am a product of my upbringing!”  RUBBISH!

I DO embrace where I came from because it gave me a glimpse into the lives of what others might be feeling.  When I say “I know how you feel,” I DO!

I hate it that people are using that old language to get you to coach with them or buy their products.  It’s lousy marketing and disgusting that people are praying on all those old or perhaps in today’s economy with all its challenges…  NEW beliefs, fears of hangups.

I can’t write what I would really like to say, but…
DON’T  BELIEVE  IT  FOR  A  MOMENT!

There is NOTHING wrong with you:

• Make your decisions using YOUR “good common sense!”
• NEVER make a decision on emotion. It will be the wrong decision most of the time if you do.

Please comment below and let me/us know how YOU feel about this.  We can grow together!

I was just reading a Blog post on “giving the gift of kindness!”  It made me realize just how blessed I am.

At this time in my life, thinking back to the negativity I was raised on, it IS a gift — the gift of experience and knowledge.

Although most of the bruises of the negative talk have healed, I am in a unique position to turn it around and encourage, support and inspire others.  When I say “I know how you feel,” I DO!

NEVER GIVE UP — DO LISTEN to what other’s say, evaluate it, see IF there is any worth in what they are sharing, but… NEVER GIVE UP!

Turning a negative into a positive is a priceless gift.  The negativity may not feel like a gift when it is happening, but given a little time to regroup and re-evaluate there is ALWAYS something worth learning and sharing with others — or a “life-lesson” to tuck away for yourself.

I am working on three Blogs simultaneously — four if you count: http://www.SayItWithEcards.com/blog.

My goal is to make each Blog as informative and valuable in content as possible.  I am also attempting to make each as interactive as I possibly can so that we can communicate and you can communicate with others who post comments.

Although I’ve been using WordPress for quite some time, I was not as familiar with all the plugins as I would have  liked to be, so that is part of what I am doing now. 

I truly appreciate your patience.

Today is Wednesday, August 26, 2009.  I worked — more like played — most of the day with my Flip Ultra Video Camcorder in the hopes of capturing stills (Flip Snapshots) from the videos I was creating as I went.

Since I am working on three Blogs at the same time, my goal was to shoot images I could use in the Blog Headers. I visualized what I wanted, but visualizing is sometimes a lot easier than creating, but I’m having great fun trying and learning with each try.

Tomorrow will be lots easier as I laid the groundwork today. Who knows… I may already have something I can use.  I’ll look with fresh eyes in the AM.

What did you do today?  I would love to hear!

Nighty Night!

Today is Tuesday, August 25, 2009 ~ The new banner is up and a few new plugins have been added.  The customization is not completed, but we’re on our way.  Stay tuned, much more on the way!

We had a server crash and being I had just started to build this Blog I lost ALL the progress I made in the 24 hours before it was backed up on the server.  That is when I accomplished the most.

I have most of the content, so that will be put back.

My other new Blog was completely demolished into oblivion ~ but that was only an installation.

Don’t ask…

ALL the NEW content, comments, plugins, customizations, etc. I added to this Blog in the last few days are lost!

I got up Monday morning to an email from my host that the server was having issues and the hard drive would have to be replaced. At that point they had moved to an alternate drive, but everything was working.

I hurried and backed everything up, I thought… But since I have two hosting packages I backed up the wrong server and all the work I did on this Blog is GONE!!!

Fortunately I have most of the content and can rebuild, but the host should have backed up AGAIN when they knew they would have to do work.

The site was down more than 24 hours and I am more than a little upset, but upset is not going to get things done and me back to where I was.

This is absolutely NOT ok though…
