It's that time again... to "Turn Back the Clock!"
As silly as it sounds, I really don't like this time of year! I love the turning of the leaves and the changing weather, but when it comes to the shorter days, that's a NO NO for me! I feel like I am being put on curfew!
On the bright side... The days will start getting longer in less than two months, AND... I love the holidays!
With Thanksgiving right around the corner I have been giving a lot of thought to those who touched my life in a positive way — companies, people, products, etc.
NOTE: Negative situations can be cause for giving thanks as well. We learn and grow from everything that happens to us — good, bad or indifferent. It sometimes amazes me how oddly professional people behave!
For now... I would like to concentrate on the positive. Perhaps we'll get to the negative later on!
I will be writing about this in the month of November. Stay tuned! I will be sharing some of my favorites.
I have been blessed with many people who have made a *life-defining* contribution(s) in my life. Two major players are:
Friday evening I attended "An Evening With Joel Osteen" at Madison Square Garden in NYC. It was a fabulous event, lots of Praise and Worship Singing. I'll probably be hoarse tomorrow!
While Joel was the main speaker, we also heard from Victoria Osteen, Joel's Wife, Dodie Osteen, Joel's Mother and Paul Osteen, Joel's Brother.
IF Joel comes to a city near you, you owe it to yourself. Bring your whole family! You will be glad you did!
Visit http://www.JoelOsteen.com to learn more about Joel Osteen and listen to some of his sermons. You can also see real-time sermons online.

It's hard to believe a year has passed since I attended "An Evening With Joel Osteen" at NYC's Madison Square Garden. It's one-year today!
I am getting ready to attend my second "Evening With Joel Osteen" just eight hours from now. It's very exciting to me. Last year was my first time and going alone I waited until almost the last minute to get my ticket. My self-imposed penalty for procrastinating was to get a seat in the "over-flow" room and watch the event through "closed-circuit TV!(I think it is called. We watched it through a big screen on the stage!)
This year I was proactive and my ticket is for a seat in front of the stage and I will be attending the event "live." I can't wait!
Joel is a powerful speaker. I watch him weekly on Cable TV and always come away with a high-spirit of motivation and peace! It seems his weekly message is almost always timed to my own life's events and/or challenges for that week.
Anyway... I believe there might still be seats available. They go for a nominal fee of $10.00 each IF you buy them at the Madison Square Garden box office in person. IF they have an over-flow room as they did last year the seats were $5.00 each. IF you live in the New York City area... check it out! (I just checked and you must buy the tickets at the box office IF they are available. Online says for this event are closed!)
BTW (by the way) IF you cannot attend you should get "last year's event" on DVD at http://www.JoelOsteen.com. Believe it or not, each time I watch it, it is more powerful than the last. I highly recommend it.

Just wanted to share my own feelings here...
I used to think... in times of crisis... IF "I" could not give a substantial amount 'how could "I" really help!'
During another crisis I heard a message from Dr. Phil that changed this way of thinking. (paraphrasing his words) Dr. Phil said: it did not matter how little one gave, that everything counted. I realized then it WAS ME that was feeling inadequate and that giving was the dominate word here.
Even though I now believe this... this evening I was watching the news and saw all those giving at Lincoln Center in NYC and all the trucks that were driving down. They had so much stuff that they could not fit it all on the trucks. While I was proud to be a New Yorker, once again I felt inadequate and thought: "What could my small donation from each of my eCard sales for the next 30 days do!" I felt silly, and then remembered Dr. Phil's words. (Everything counts!)
May we never know such devastation again.
