THIS WEEK IS THE BUMP EXPERIMENT WEEK...BECOME A BUMPER AND BUMP IT UP!

When we least expect it and many times when we most need it out of the blue something wonderful happens!” Billy calls this experience "getting bumped."

Sow good thoughts, watch them take root and grow your dreams into reality.
The law of harvest is to reap more than you sow. Sow an act, and you reap a habit. Sow a habit and you reap a character. Sow a character and you reap a destiny. ~ James Allen, 1864 - 1912, British Author
And, remember...Feed Your Good Dog, so your good dog always wins!

Congratulations to the finishers of the New York City Marathon today including two of my cyber friends Pamela Robbins and Kevin Green. I watched the race throughout the day on line. I tracked the results for Kevin and Pamela; I remembered how my friends were concerned that they could not track me on line and that is the feeling I felt when I did not see results for Pamela after the 15 mile mark. Then my daughter suggested I click on next and also pointed out she could still be on the course and… Continue

Hello Eveyone,
Well I haven't really seen the response I was hoping for on this sight yet, but I think it is because of my lack of understanding how everything works here.
I am trying out the blog posts for the first time and Erin thanks for your response.
I have been sharing my ideas about The Touch A Life Mission with my co-workers and have gotten much praise for my efforts. In our discussions I am confronted also with comments like "you are fighting a losing battle", "you are totally out numb… Continue

On 9/7 a tweet from Lissa Rankin caught my eye. I clicked on the tweet link and felt this overwhelming urge to do as she suggested - write my obituary.
Mary (Alper) McManus died on 12/26/2053 the day after she celebrated her 100th birthday surrounded by her husband of 76 years, Tom, her twins Ruth Anne and Tom,Jr, her grandchildren, great grandchildren and adoring friends and fans of her poetry. She made her transition peacefully in her sleep.
Mary will best be remembered for her gentle, lovin… Continue

In Memory of Frances Elizabeth Hurley (1924 - 2009)
Frances is remembered, in part, for her many "sayings" one of which is "Give them the flowers now." This saying is from a poem entitled Give Them The Flowers Now written by Leigh Mitchell Hodges (1876 - 1954). The poem illustrates how Frances viewed life should be lived, and that is to appreciate and share the goodness of life every moment, every day.
Following is an excerpt from the poem:
Just a kind word or a greeting,

Following is a story from a series of short stories about a young boy named Jamie. Jamie is being raised by parents and grandparent whom have taught him positive values and attributes in subtle ways. All of the stories in some manner relate to the apple orchard near Jamie's home.
Hence, the title of the series "Tales from the Orchard". Each short is entitled to have a duality of meaning.
If you read the stories I hope you will enjoy them. The setting is similar to where I grew up, but Jamie is… Continue
