Girl slain, 2 wounded in apparent retaliation for good deed

Girl slain, 2 wounded in apparent retaliation for good deed

I just do not understand the world today. How is it okay for these people to still live? I really wish each wrong doer can physically and mental experience each and every bad deed they have done. Experience the pain of abuse, experience the pain of the relatives ... feel the loss of a loved one gone from your life forever and you can never talk to them again. Take all that and mulitply it by 10 and see how long they last. Prison is too easy for these criminals.. and a quick death is too compassionate.

GRRRR!

http://moneyning.com/frugality/7-habits-of-highly-frugal-people/

best quotes from article that resonated with me:

"to change your life you need to change your attitude because no one else is responsible for what happens to you but you, so you can either complain about the things you don’t like in your life or you can set about changing them."




 "Regardless of how you were raised or how you were treated at school you are able to choose your behavior now. Being proactive means understanding that you are in control of the direction your life takes and in control of your day to day interactions "



You cannot take control of your finances until you make the commitment to do so . ( I had to do that for myself. I had to cut back.. on Starbucks.. home made coffee. Cooking at home instead of eating out all the time. Looking up at the numerous websites for coupon and deals for things to do with the limited amount of resources I have so I don't feel deprived of my lifestyle. Just living smarter. Rather then bankruptcy... see if settling is an option. At least you are trying to take care of your debt.)


such wonderful sites as: http://www.bloomspot.com/ , http://www.restaurant.com/ , http://www.livingsocial.com/ http://www.groupon.com/
http://www.goldstar.com/   are all great sites to use when you want to go out but dont want to spend a fortune. There are so many things to do that does not require money or better ways to save. I never go to an event without checking one of these sites first.

If you don’t visualize what you want out of life then you are at risk of other people and external circumstances influencing your life because you are not influencing it yourself.


Recognize that you don’t always know the full story. As you aim to implement frugal principles and stick to a budget you may often find yourself thinking ‘it’s not fair’. 


 is this us... constantly dreaming for the bigger and better? What if we are the big fish in a small pond.. but as soon as we go to the big pond ... we are the smaller fish.. which would you rather have?

True wealth is not measured in possessions but in assets



You are not the only person in your life.  (Listen)

Frugality does not mean having to give up all the luxuries and things which make you happy

Animal Kingdom

Yet more proof.. that male species will stop at nothing for a "hot" piece. LOL Sad.. but funny at the same time. People! pick up your litter!
discoverynews:
Beetles Die During Sex With Beer Bottles
It’s a case of mistaken attraction, because the beer bottles happen to possess all of the features that drive male Australian jewel beetles wild. They’re big and orangey brown in color, with a slightly dimpled surface near the bottom (designed to prevent the bottle from slipping out of one’s grasp) that reflects light in much the same way as female wing covers.

Wishing I Could

dearoldlove:
I really wish I could love you like you love me. Does that help? Well, it’s true anyway.

Reflecting back on my life: I find that I have been very fortunate with my personal relationship. For the most part: the people I have met and dated and fallen in love with have all been great guys that have loved me with all of their heart.

For one reason or another it just didnt work out. It does not mean that they loved me any less.. but actually more then I love them. Each one has expressed over the years that I was :
I feel bad to have broken so many hearts.. or disappoint so many guys.. I tried and it just didnt work. I wish I could love them the way they want me to.. Honestly not trying to be vain.. but I wish I could and I'm sure there is a lucky lady out there wanting to be the recipient of their love and devotion... I just wish sometimes that they could move on and be happy with who they are with.

They shouldn't be blind to Love that was meant for them:

October is here!

 
It's officially Autumn ! :) I love this time of year, the crisp clean air, the bright vibrant colors and the smells of baked goods.
I also love that I can whip out my scarves ( though living in the city.. scarves are handy to have year round)

The different colors and texture is limitless :) Men in scarves are so sexy too! yummy! :)



Waking up in the morning and taking that brisk walk to the bus stop in the ... breathing in the crisp autumn air.. is so exhilarating. You can spot the trees beginning to change colors and seeing them dance in the wind.









We can start burning candles and not overheat ourselves ... another love of mine.. candles, the light, the ambiance, the scent... so magical. When I lived in my smaller 1 bedroom apt.. I use to not turn on the heater and just fill my house with candles to keep warm.. it was such an awesome experience and so soothing.. I wish i had that place again.
