Do you ever feel like you sit down at the computer to check your email and do some internet marketing around 8:30 AM and before you know it you look at the clock and it is 4:30 PM? Cyber space seems to consume a lot of our lives.
Being a grandmother involved with internet marketing, I strive to be a good steward of my time. I enjoy spending time with my grandchildren. This means working smarter with my online business opportunity!!

I truly appreciate the assistance the leaders of GVO give us and their passion to help people succeed in their business, whatever it may be.
I have gone the route of spending 12+ hours a day trying to get things done with previous online internet marketing opportunity I was in, and all I can say is~ “This would have really made my life easier”, given me the tools to be successful and definitely would have allowed me to spend more fun time with my grandchildren.
I not only enjoy learning about online internet marketing (we are never too old to learn new things), but I also have a passion to write children’s books and work at my online jewelry business. I need to work smarter, not harder! There are only 24 hours in a day and I intend to use them all to my greatest advantage. GVO allows me to do just that.
So I am here to say, “Thank you GVO for making a more productive, with less time spent, difference in my life.”
Hope you will check out GVO. GVO offers a two week trial period for $1.00 because they realize people really need to experience the Titanium Hosting Package, they can’t just look at it!!
I wish you great success more quality time doing what gives you pleasure.
Time waits for no man, or woman!! You have heard me say that procrastination can steal our motivation and dreams. I am not about to let that happen. It feels so wonderful to be able to be back and sharing here on my blog.
For the past few months this internet marketing grandma has been dealing with an over abundance of technical problems. I must say, I have learned much. Thank God it appears that everything is back in working order and I now can forge ahead. I am eternally grateful to everyone who has helped me in my great time of need.
Today has been a day involving the wearing of many hats. It amazes me how much we can cram into a day. Meetings, half a dozen phone calls, Skype calls, making a bank deposit, dropping off and picking up items at the library, a trip to JoAnn’s for materials I needed for my jewelry business, a stop at the grocery store, and last but not least making a custom bracelet.
I find in times when I am stretched in my energy and emotions that I can always come up with a smile and happy heart knowing that I am helping others. That is true with whatever we find ourselves doing. So no matter how many hats you wear, always wear a hat of “love”. I always feel I help myself when I help others.
I recently came across a new internet marketing business opportunity that really reaches out and helps people with their internet marketing needs. This new opportunity is Prosperity Rising. Would you believe that you can join and have a lifetime Gold Membership and audio/visual conference room that holds up to 300 people for FREE!!
Prosperity Rising is a new site that says it guarantees more CONVERTING web visitors and online advertising with very little effort or cost. So I decided to put it to the test…
My first impression was the site looks professional and clean, with an attractive look and feel. It is easy to read and understand. Joining the site was easy and painless–they do offer 2 upgrade options but they are not required to gain the benefits.
The Members’ Area is very well laid out and intuitive–I could figure out what to do after only a few minutes and was able to get up and running in less than 5 minutes. Inside the site, you create links and ads–the links you simply enter any URL links you use into the generator and it transforms them into “Prosperity Rising” links. You create ads for anything you want to promote using the Prosperity Rising Ad Generator, which is very easy to use. You can create as many links and as many ads as you like. And they are organized in a logical way–links are displayed in the order you create them but also your 5 most recent links appear on the main page for quick reference. Also, since the link generator is the tool you’ll use most, it is also right at the top of the main page when you login. Very smart!
After you’ve created at least 1 link and 1 ad you can start to generate traffic. Just use and promote the new Prosperity Rising link instead of the original source link you had. Every time the Prosperity Rising link is clicked, the page loads followed by a cool slide-up ad window at the bottom. It displays an ad PLUS an image with your affiliate link that goes back to Prosperity Rising. So if anyone clicks the Prosperity Rising image they see the site, and if they signup they become your referral. It’s a great viral feature because you can build referrals without even trying to just by using the site.
Now every time the ad window displays (your Prosperity Rising links get clicked) you earn credits that get YOUR ad displayed in the ad windows when other members’ links get clicked. So the more clicks, the more times your ads get displayed.
And this works virally–meaning as you make referrals into Prosperity Rising (either by promoting it or just using it and visitors click the Prosperity Rising image on the ad window to join) you also earn ad credits on THEIR link clicks. And this works up to 5 levels deep. So you can create a massive amount of free ad views and web traffic by referring others to Prosperity Rising also.
I didn’t get to test the full effect of a big downline yet (I just got the tool) but I can tell you the rest of the site works exactly as stated–my links got clicked, I earned credits, and my ads got displayed. Prosperity Rising even tracked my results so I know how many clicks and how many ad displays. That was an impressive unadvertised extra feature.
There is one more benefit and feature which might be the best of them all–downline emailing. You can email your downline with offers, promotions, or whatever you like, and here is where Prosperity Rising really shines. They took time to make the emailing often enough that it’s valuable as a user, but no so often that it’s a burden to your downline. But the best part about this feature (and actually the credit earning too) is that it tells you exactly how long until you can mail again. Now THAT’s cool.
Overall I have to say I am impressed with Prosperity Rising. It is simple yet powerful, and delivers on its promises. Highly recommended to anyone who wants to increase traffic and advertising.
If you think you would like to be part of a community of like-minded people , receive awesome training and be provided an arsenal tools to help you succeed, please check out Prosperity Rising. Don’t forget you can sign up for FREE! Keith Carberry, one of the co-owners, has a meeting Monday through Friday at 10:00 AM EST called “Coffee With Keith.” Please join us. You are always welcome. This time is spent answering questions and sharing all of the tools you have in Prosperity Rising.
I hope you are happy and successful and I look forward to your return.
One of the many blessings of being a grandparent is that we have an endless supply of memories. I especially like the internet because through blogging it provides an enormous audience to share these memories with.
I became a single mom when my two daughters were 9 and 10 years old. They truly were the glue that held my life together. Out of many tough times, we had a lot of fun! They were the tools that helped me become successful back then.
Today as I was working and searching for the right tools to accomplish a project I am working on I started reminiscing about my past. I was thinking how much better our lives would’ve been if internet marketing, as we know it now, was in existence back then. The time frame I am referring to is the early 80’s . I would have been able to work at home and improved our quality of life.
One time in particular comes to mind. It was the 4th of July and my girls were out roller skating in our neighborhood. I had just gotten out of the shower and was drying my hair when my youngest daughter came running in hysterics “Come quick, come quick!” Her sister had fallen and she told me there is blood everywhere.
Now what follows is a description of a dedicated mother. I tore out of the house and was running after her up the street before I realized all I had on was my bath towel. For a split second I thought, “Oh dear, there goes the neighborhood.” I found my daughter and she had done a job on her face, chipped her front tooth and banged her body up pretty badly. As the days unfolded, she resembled a roller derby queen for sure! This was before knee pads, helmets and all the protective gear were in use. I gathered her up in my arms and took her home. I was praying that my neighbors had missed the excitement and the inadequately dressed mom.
Whether you are a grandparent working an internet marketing business, or a very accomplished person who has been doing this for years, I have found a wealth of tools in one location. I would like to share this with you. With NPN you don’t have to work harder….just work smarter!!
Global NPN.com has marketing tools that would cost a fortune elsewhere. You can join NPN for $10.75 a month. You not only have access to a capture page creator, a full ad tracker system, a set and forget recruiter, a multi-downline building system to mention a few, but an unmatched referral system that you will want to check out for sure. There are also great tutorials and training tools throughout the system.
I hope this information on NPN will be helpful and provide you with the tools to help you become successful.
Whether you are a grandparent involved in an internet business opportunity, or just starting out in the world of internet marketing, I just want to take this opportunity to let everyone know that the clock is ticking to upgrade to a Gold Member in one of the most powerful groups on the internet. This group is Veretekk. If you haven’t heard of Veretekk before, I will explain a few details and let you be the judge if this isn’t something that will help you achieve success in whatever business you are involved in.
Veretekk provides world class marketing tools that empowers the little guy and allows the average person the ability to achieve success, whatever their primary business may be!
There are 3 types of Traffic Portals within the Veretekk system:
“Traffic Portals” are standard lead generation web sites. Their entire focus is to help you to develop high quality, Premium Leads by offering valuable products, services, or information for free or at a discount.
“Profit Portals” are the same as Traffic Portals in that they are fully developed lead generation systems, but they go one step further by also offering their own affiliate program that you can sign-up into and create an additional revenue stream. It’s totally up to you if you want to do so. Veretekk is all about empowering you with tools to promote your business. That said, Profit Portals are legitimate lead generators for you. Signing up into the associated affiliate programs will simply help you catch additional revenue from leads that from people who purchase something through that system.
“SEO Portals” are designed specifically to aide with Search Engine Optimization (SEO), not lead generation or direct marketing. As with all portals you have full control over the content (displayed text, hyperlinks, title/meta tags, photo upload, etc.) which makes these websites a powerful addition to your portfolio of SEO tools. Utilizing these portals allows you to expand your control out to over 40 different domains!
You can sign up for a Free Silver Membership to Veretekk. This would allow you to get your feet wet so to speak and check out the system.
Then you can upgrade to a Gold Membership which will give you complete access to all the power. The cost of this upgrade is usually $100.00, but if you join as a Silver and upgrade to a Gold before April 1st, the upgrade fee is being waived. That is a big savings.
A lot of added phenomenal features go into effect on April 1st. In addition to what is already available, such as: Live Webinars -VOIP technology on steroids. There are video tutorials throughout the system to help you in addition to training modules and live Veretraining classes. You will have Verefied Email – No more SPAM complaints. Build huge mailing lists that are completely verified and 3rd party verifiable. State of the art spam compliant. With your Gold membership you will have a Vereconference room that will be available for your use. There are many other bells and whistles, but I just want to give you an idea that Veretekk has developed over the past 10 years a system that is not matched by any other.
If you want to take your business to the next level, check out Veretekk. I hope that this information has been helpful. Don’t miss out on the $100.00 savings!!
I know there are times when it seems like whatever we are doing is not reaping the rewards that we anticipated in online business internet marketing. It would not matter if you were a grandparent or not, we nonetheless find ourselves wondering what we are doing wrong. I am here to say…you are not alone!!
One of the most important things that I have found is to make sure you are involved with like-minded people. That makes a big difference. I have been blessed to be part of a group of extremely helpful online marketing business entrepeneurs. I have learned much and continue to learn on a daily basis. If we reach the point where we think we “know it all” we might as well give up. There are always new techniques and programs to be learned.
It is nice to realize that even at 63 and being a grandparent involved in a home based internet marketing business opportunity I can learn how to be a valuable team player. It is self gratifying that I can contribute to other people’s success. That is what makes team work so invaluable. We really all do have our own gifts to contribute to help one another. I love the pay it forward philosophy.
It goes without saying that you need to do your due diligence to be sure that the company you are anticipating working with is all that it says it is. As we all know, either by personal experience, or by what others have told us, there are a lot of scams on the internet.
Get involved with a business opportunity that has a product that is desired by the masses. It is most difficult to get others involved in something they have no need of.
I have recently gotten involved in a business opportunity that is environment friendly, helps with weight loss and overall health and also provides chemically free household products. Ultra International’s Pure Selects collection of Home Care and Personal Care Products are some of the highest quality and safest products on the market today. I recently heard that during the time of our last election 100 mothers were surveyed as to whether if they knew the products they were using for household cleaning, or personal cleanliness contained harmful ingredients to their family if they would change what they were buying. 94% said they would. To me that is a no brainer. Who would willingly put their children, or family in general, in harm’s way if they knew what they were doing was harmful. I quit smoking, cold turkey, because I didn’t want to think I was harming my children’s lives. And I smoked three packages a day!!
The point I am trying to make is after the company checks out, make sure the products check out. And last, but certainly not least, investigate the compensation plan.
If you are comfortable with your findings, then roll up your sleeves and get to work.
If I can do this, I am sure you can. There are awesome tools and individuals involved in internet marketing that are more than happy to help you find success. Be weary of individuals that are going to charge you an arm or a leg and ask you to mortgage your first born. For those individuals I have one word ….RUN!!
When the going gets rough it helps me to remember that I am working at MY home based business opportunity. I can at any moment, put what I am doing on hold and go play with my grandchildren. That is invaluable to me. My family is most important to me. Being involved in an internet marketing business allows me to enjoy my Golden Years. I only wish that I had the opportunity to do what I am doing now when my children were young. I could have been at home baking cookies when they came home from school.
I truly wish you all the best in whatever you choose to do.
My son-in-law gave my daughter and his two children tickets to see Cirque du Soleil, Kooza for Christmas. He was extremely thoughtful and included me in this outing. Yesterday was the big day. It is really difficult to find words to describe how awesome we all found this production. Absolutely amazing!
It was by far the most entertaining event of this nature I have ever seen. Even before Kooza started there were clowns and people from the production entertaining the crowd.
It was wonderful to not only watch the talents of these entertainers but to watch the expressions on my grandchildren’s faces. We all sat in amazement.
The show lasted for approximately three hours with a 30 minute intermission. It seemed that we had no more than sat down and it was over. Now that is entertainment!!
In looking back on this exciting event you can’t help but think of the number of hours of training and practice these entertainers put into these acts. In addition, the precise placement of props and work of the production crew is phenomenal. Every aspect of this production worked perfectly. A very well oiled machine of people and materials all coming together to give those of us in attendance more than we could have ever hoped for, and believe me we were hoping for a lot. It is definitely difficult to find words to describe our feelings.
I was sitting here today thinking about those of us in the internet marketing business. There are so many “tools” out there to help us become successful. There are also tools that won’t do a thing to add to our success and serve to just deplete our finances. I have been in internet marketing for approximately 3 years. I have been very successful when it comes to finding the finance depleting tools!!
I am excited to share that over the past 6 months I have been introduced to the tools, props and well oiled machinery of leaders in the industry that will assist me in soaring to higher levels to achieve success in my online business. Granted being an almost 63 year old grandmother I won’t be able to swing on a trapeze, walk on stilts, spin around on the wheel of death, or accomplish any of the other amazing feats that the cast of Kooza performed, but I will become successful at my online marketing business.
I have the “crew” of the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group to thank for opening up my eyes to a world of legitimate marketing tools. They have put in many hours of training and practice to help us. In addition the members of the Crazy Foxes are all available to help 24/7. There is a new report, DAM-IT that is available that will tell you all you need to know about the Crazy Foxes. If you are serious about marketing online, you really should take the time to read this report.
You will several programs find listed on the Crazy Foxes site that you will find useful. I have said it before, and I will say it again. I have learned more in the past 6 months with the Crazy Foxes than I have in the previous 2-1/2 years.
You can sign up for a free Silver account at Veretekk. This is our primary marketing system, lead generator, SEO producer and also one of our primary income sources. You will want to eventually want to sign up for a Gold Account. Until April 1st, the upgrade fee for the Gold membership has been waived. This is a $100.00 savings. Currently, Gold membership will cost you $41.95 a month. You will earn far more than that. Check out the current benefits of the Silver and Gold accounts at Veretekk. The following improvements will be happening on April 1st, 2009.
In addition to what is already listed Gold Bully Pulpit (send email to your lists) everyday instead of once a week. Additional 10 more website SEO portals (Increasing the number of configurable portals from 41 to 51)
You will have a new tool that will allow you to post ads to your SEO portals from the Portal Control Panel. Veretekk Gold will include a Vereconference Light 5 seat room accessed from your Back Office like the trainers do for moderating and configuration and plugged in the new WEB 2.0 design for your guest to log into.
The ability to switch your front end conference room access to access your more robust Vereconference room account (if you have one) or to the corporate room so your guest can join our conferences on Monday.
There will be a more robust compensation plan will be initiated on April 1st as well.
I am sure you can clearly see from the above information that Veretekk provides important tools to help you become successful. Veretekk has not only developed these tools, but they provide live training classes and video tutorial training so you will become proficient at using these tools.
I want to thank you for taking the time to read this information. I hope that your online internet marketing business will soar to new heights when you utilize the great tools listed herein.
Internet marketing is truly exciting and during this crucial time in our economy, I believe we have a great vehicle here to succeed and bring our families through these tough times.
I am a 62 year old grandparent who recently retired. I want to take this opportunity to pass along some information and tips that I have learned over the past couple of years regarding online internet marketing businesses. If you currently have a home based business and are finding success working online …then I applaud you. Keep up the good work! With the economy like it is with layoffs and people being forced to retire you might be contemplating starting a home based business. If that is the case please read on.
The most important thing I have learned is NOT to believe everything you are told. Be sure to do your due diligence on a business before you leap into it. Make sure that you know how the program works. Be sure that you are going to have sincere support and training from your leaders. Get a feel for whether or not this is going to cost you a lot of money to work. If it is … RUN!! You would be surprised at the hidden costs of some internet marketing businesses. Take into consideration you might have advertising costs, costs for leads, etc.
I spent 2-1/2 years with online business and spent a lot of my retirement fund trying to make it work. I took the training, attended meetings, followed the instructions of my upline leaders, sent emails, newsletters, and phoned people around the world and worked some days as much at 16 hours. When all was said and done I was in debt and not making enough money to meet my expenses with this business. Hence the warning, “Know what you have in store.” I finally faced the fact that this program was not going to work and I quit.
I am here to say, I am so very thankful that I did not give up because of one bad experience. A friend introduced me to the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. This is a group of like-minded people consisting of great knowledgeable leaders and other internet marketers that are working at becoming successful. This is a group of people with integrity, who are ethical, honest, positive and have a good work ethic. It is sad to say, but these qualities are not always easy to find with the businesses out there on the internet.
I have been in this group for about 5 months and I have learned so much more than I learned over the past 2-1/2 years. I was not a stranger to computers, but I have learned skills that were the farthest from my dreams. It is not true that “you can’t teach an old dog new tricks.”The Crazy Foxes Marketing Group has awesome training and they direct you to programs that will help you become successful. And yes, there are many grandparents! They show you the correct, professional way to do things. I just can not say enough good things about the Crazy Foxes!! Please check them out and make your own decision after reading what you find there.
No matter what the product or service is that you are selling on the internet in the Crazy Foxes you will have access to the tools that will help you succeed.
This is just a short list of the programs/tools that I have learned about working with the Crazy Foxes. These tools are not just for grandparents that want to succeed at their home based business, but all internet marketers will find value in these.
• Veretekk: Veretekk is a powerful tool. Sign up for a Free Silver Account. This is our marketing system, our lead generator, SEO producer, and more… plus it is ONE of our primary income sources.
• New Plan Network: NPN is a real income generator, and I’m talking SERIOUS income, NPN and its products are the internet’s best kept secret. From Capture Page creator, to the elite multisponder auto responder system, these are absolute must haves for every internet marketer.
• Traffic Hoopla: Free system – Traffic Hoopla keeps on top of the best of the best Traffic Exchanges and Safelists. You join Traffic Hoopla and then join the highest producing traffic generators on the web, all managed from this central location.
• Protracker Plus: ProTrackerPlus is the ad tracking program recommended by the $200 Per Day Blueprint. It allows you to track your hits, conversions and more, and you get paid to refer others.
• Social networking. Twitter and Facebook are only two of many available. You not only develop relationships but you learn about powerful tools, and are able to share your knowledge with others. It is a great feeling to be able to “pay it forward”.
If you are like me, as a grandparent you want to be able to spend quality time with your family. You have paid your dues in the work force! I love the fact that my schedule is flexible working online. I can pick and choose the hours I want to work or “play”. That is very important to me after working in the corporate world with set schedules. Whether it be watching my grandkids play Wii, or trying to learn some of the “moves”, or enjoying an awesome dinner my daughter has prepared, or just being with them….life can not get much better than that.
Having a home based business will also help you when it comes to paying your taxes to the IRS. An office at home allows you to take many deductions which translates to money in your pocket. I know personally that the stock market has taken a big chunk out of my retirement fund. I am grateful finding ways to make the money I do have go further. There are many publications available to give you the regulations on what you can, or can not deduct.
With the economy the way it is, I think we are going to see a lot more people thinking about home-based internet businesses.
Benefits abound in executing your business from your home:
• You can work from the comfort of your own home.
• You do not have the expense of gas for your car.
• Less maintenance expense for your car, tires, oil changes, etc. (and general wear and tear)
• An aspect sometimes missed you can also save on your auto insurance. Less commuting miles to work allows you a savings on your coverage.
• Money spent eating your lunch out with your co-workers. You not only save money by eating at home, but this allows you to live a healthier life. Plan your meals.
• How much are you currently spending on clothing, drycleaners, etc.? This will no longer be necessary. Just think, you can get up, grab a cup of coffee (don’t have the expense of your local coffee shop), and sit down in your office. You can even stay in your PJ’s all day, if you want to!
• A huge benefit…maintaining your office at home allows tax deductions. Be sure to check with IRS regulations and not take deductions you should not!!
• And one of the greatest benefits of a home-based business is that it allows you to spend more quality time with your family. It allows you to have a flexible schedule.
I recently retired after spending 45 plus years in the corporate world. I am working with an awesome group of internet marketers called the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. There is 24/7 chat support and I have developed relationships with like-minded people. I have been involved with other internet businesses, but have NEVER learned as much as I have with the Crazy Foxes.
If you are going to establish a home-based internet marketing business, do your due diligence homework. There are a lot of scams coming down the pike. Even if a company states they have been in business for years, dig deeper. Find out exactly what the plan is that you will have to follow to become successful. Granted you are like the rest of us. More than likely you are going to make some mistakes in the learning process and spend more money than you thought would be required.
There are tremendous tools available to anyone who puts the required effort into their business and believe they can succeed. Be sure to attend available trainings and meetings. Be open to learn from others.
• Veretekk: Veretekk is a powerful tool. Sign up for a Free Silver Account. This is our marketing system, our lead generator, SEO producer, and more… plus it is ONE of our primary income sources.

You are not obligated to join these businesses. However, you have the ability to expand your profile on the internet with new opportunities. These businesses are listed under “Programs” on the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group Website.
I wish you great success in whatever road you travel. Be sure to take advantage of the tools available to you. Research, consistence, perseverance and belief in yourself can bring you success.
Here we are blessed with another year. The question is are we truly going to end 2009 feeling that we have accomplished what we set out to do and have we been a blessing to others. I have found that when I help others and put them first I find myself on the receiving end more times than not.
In looking back at 2008 my saddest recollections were that I had not taken the one or two moments out of my busy schedule to go have a “that lunch” with a dear friend, or pursue insisting that I be able to visit another dear friend in the hospital. Both of those treasured friends are gone. I do hope they know that I truly loved them. I no longer pass up an opportunity to let people in my life know that I love them. Hold your family and friends close to your heart.
I am one of those people who set out with a determination to lose weight in the new year. When December 31st arrives I usually find myself wondering what went wrong. The excess pounds are still lingering! I must admit, it was I who went wrong. I didn’t set realistic goals and work the plan. I am so very excited this year to be part of a group of individuals in the Crazy Foxes Marketing Group. We are going to become the Crazy Foxes Biggest Losers! We will encourage each other and that makes a big difference. We have established a blog sharing recipes, tools and tips.
The Biggest Loser program on TV is a great inspiration to me. The segment that just aired in January, 2009 especially hit me hard. If a person is overweight and does nothing about it they will not only encounter painful health problems, live a lesser quality of life, be unable to enjoy activities with their family, but they also face the possibility of not living to be part of their family’s milestones. A parent not at a wedding, or a grandparent missing the blessings of watching their grandchildren grow. That gives me new determination.
If the Crazy Foxes can encourage you, or help you in any way, please let me know. This is the year that we can get healthy. Remember it is not a “diet”. It is a lifestyle change. One of my favorite sayings this year is, “It isn’t what you do between Christmas and New Years, but what you do between New Years and Christmas. That applies not only to your health but also your other goals.
With regard to your success in your business, what are your goals? No goals set usually leads to nothing achieved. You need to plan your work and work your plan. As with weight loss, if you haven’t put in writing where you want to go and what you want to achieve this year, there is a good chance you will end up on December 31st thinking, “What have I actually accomplished this year.” I have done that and for that reason I know how important it is to put your goals and plans into writing. Post it where you see it every day. As you accomplish your goals along the way it will serve as an encouragement.
In setting goals be realistic. After you have decided what you are going to accomplish this year break those goals down into semi-annual and quarterly increments. Take that one step further and break those down into monthly and weekly goals. This way it will not be so overwhelming to achieve.
There are so many dynamic social networking services out there. It doesn’t matter if you are involved with internet marketing or the corporate work place. I recently was introduced to Twitter. There is a plethora of tips, tools, relationships, and just downright great communication on Twitter. It is awesome to feel the attitude of helpfulness amongst the members. You will be able to expand your knowledge on many issues. It is another tool on the internet that makes the world a much smaller place! It is a good feeling too when you come across a person who is in need and reach out to help.
So as 2009 proceeds I wish you much success, “Aha “moments of joy, heartwarming experiences with your family and friends, and the knowledge that you are truly loved by friends, family and God. Be sure to share your love with others (even strangers that pass through your life).
