MLM/Network Marketing Tsunami

MLM Network Marketing education can be pricey and might have a longer learning curve than you originally thought, but the key to success is to be PERSISTENT. Stick with it and glean as much from it as you can. Certainly you can find a few well-educated professionals to learn from – there are also a ton of fantastic MLM Network Marketing books, motivational books and personal wealth and financial freedom books you can learn from.

Be wary of the content you spend your valuable time with. You'll know when what you have in front of you is garbage or if it’s sound.

It’s important to look into good MLM, Network Marketing or any online business when you first get involved in investing into a business. There is so much information overload you need to be careful in choosing.

If it's a program that includes Network Marketing Education as well as have a matrix of some kind and you can refer your friends and business associates to it - you can build a few streams of income from your Network Marketing Education site. It helps to build YOU as a savvy business person, by giving good MLM Network Marketing Education to those around you, as well as establish YOU as a leader in your field of MLM Network Marketing, Internet Marketing or both! With that I say, be careful when looking around - not all Network Marketing Education sites will necessarily educate you, but waste your precious time - and money. There are many, many great opportunities out there, it’s important to do research before committing to this business, but always be surrounded by information that will enrich your knowledge – and again, if it has a matrix involved that can bring another stream of income your way – all the better! So, have fun with your MLM Network Marketing Education and use it wisely.

Noni and Cancer

Each year, 1.2 million people in the United States are diagnosed with cancer, and each day, 1700 people in the U.S. die from this disease. While there is no universal cure for cancer, there are four common treatments used with measured success: surgery, radiation, chemotherapy and biological therapies.

As research continues, new substances are being discovered that help fight cancer. Plant extracts are growing in popularity. Noni is one example of a current plant-based biological therapy. In 2001, the American Association for Cancer Research listed noni as one of the top ten alternative cancer treatments used in conventional settings. The National Center for Complementary and Alternative Medicine (NCCAM), a part of the National Institutes of Health (NIH), is funding research on noni.

I believe Noni, which is grown and harvested naturally in Tahiti, can boost both proactive and reactive health measures, especially when it comes to diseases such as cancer. Over the years, I have recorded the results from a large number of people who drink noni juice. My most recent data show that out of more than 25,000 people who drink noni, 2,188 of them suffered from cancer, and a remarkable 1,510 of them felt noni juice helped with their cancer symptoms. Many people felt noni was helpful in controlling their symptoms and decreasing the typically negative effects from conventional cancer treatments.

There are different ways to use noni juice to combat cancer. Noni can be used in cancer prevention or to help supplement a conventional cancer treatment. Some employ noni along with conventional medicines as an alternative-supplemental treatment for cancer when only conventional methods have not worked. Others may be looking for ways to help control cancer symptoms or side effects that accompany many cancer treatments.

Cancer is "the quiet destroyer." But through scientific research noni juice may, in time, earn the nickname of "the gentle protector and healer." Within our bodies, there are many mechanisms at work trying to safeguard our health. Why not boost these mechanisms with a natural supplement that has been shown to contain important ingredients for promoting healthy cell function? People can improve the quality of their lives or even extend the length of their lives through the use of modern methods and alternative choices.   ~ Dr. Ralph Heineke ~

5 Important Tips for Piano Lessons

Must-Have information before deciding on Piano Lessons!

Music is a very important part of our lives. It does a lot more than just please our ears – it is an integral part of human development. 

Several years ago, there was an experiment done by scientists at the University of California at Irvine in 1993. (published in the journal Nature) They had college students listen to Mozart Sonata for two Pianos in D Major, a relaxation tape or silence.  Immediately after these sessions, the students took a spatial reasoning test (the ability to put together puzzles) and the students’ scored improved drastically after listening to the Music. The reason is because music and spatial abilities share the same pathways in the brain.

Another experiment was done later on by researchers at Appalachian State University and the researchers were successful as well in connecting music to boosting “brain power”.

They gave preschool children (ages 3-4 yrs. Old) training for 8 months. Children were divided into 4 groups: Keyboard lessons, Singing lessons, Computer lessons and No lessons.  After 8 months of this treatment, the children were tested on their ability to put together puzzles (spatial-temporal reasoning) and to recognize shapes (spatial-recognition reasoning) and the results were astounding!  They found that only those children who had taken the keyboard lessons had improvement in the spatial-temporal test. (The children did not, however show any change with the spatial-recognition.)

Another interesting observation I’ve made is the connection between the Medical profession and the Music profession – a large majority of M.D.’s are Classically trained musicians! I’ve encountered many and have asked them all the same question – how do you make the connection between the medical and the musical – and the response I’ve had is that they are both very intricate and require a rare focus and mathematical mindset in many different directions at once. It’s achieved by many years of training in either and/or both fields, which by the same token - enhance each other.  So to them – the similarity in brain function and focus is evident and invaluable to both the medical and the musical. It will be interesting to see the results of further study in that matter. Currently, there is no conclusive proof scientifically of the connection between Medical and Musical.

Now – for the 5 Tips for Piano Lessons!

1) Interest:

Assess the interest of your child. Is this something they really like – or is it your dream? The child should  show genuine interest in music and a keyboard in order for their learning experience to be a pleasant and successful one. If they are not interested – ask yourself why you even pursued it? Is it because you have an inner desire for it? It’s NEVER too late to begin! Sign yourself up for Piano lessons if that’s the case. I’ve have students of every age – some played when they were kids then quit. As they got older, regretted quitting and vowed to one day pick it up again. Then there are others who always had the desire but not the opportunity and now find themselves retired with plenty of time on their hands. They’ve actually become Piano virtuosos! I give you these lovely examples to give you hope and a nudge – psssst! It’s never too late! You CAN live in abundance even with your heart's desires!

2) Instrument:

It’s fine to begin Piano lessons on an electronic keyboard.  As time goes on, the student will know in which direction they’d like to take the Piano lessons. If it’s just for personal enjoyment, it’s fine to stay with a keyboard.

If it’s for classical Piano training – then the student should be switched over to an acoustic Piano. In my experience as a Piano teacher, I’ve realized that a Spinet Piano (the ones that have a low back) unless it is given as a gift, should not be purchased. It would be preferable to purchase an “Upright” which is a Baby Grand Piano, but instead of the strings being vertical they’re horizontal. The reason being, that the action on the keys is much better technically for the student’s hand, and it sound substantially better to the ear.

3) Teacher:

Ask around and get feedback from others about their teachers. Find out the teacher’s background. Where did they get the education from, how long have they been teaching, where do they teach from, what are the surroundings like? Ask current students how patient the teacher is and how do they feel during the lesson. You should get a pretty good idea about the teacher by how current students are progressing. Does the teacher’s personality blend with your child’s. Remember, this is a choice! In school the children have to adapt to the teacher that has been assigned to them, and that’s a good thing. They learn to get along with different types of personalities, but Piano is an extra-curricular activity and should be a pleasant one that they look forward to.

4) Schedule:

Children can be easily overwhelmed by too much in their schedule. As adults – we’ve experienced overload for ourselves and    it’s SO counterproductive! It’s highly advisable to limit activities in order for the kids not to be pulled in too many directions.

Once activities have been chosen, I’ve found with my own kids and students that by writing down a daily schedule, everything gets done and there are no excuses for forgetting to practice.

5) Dedication:

Once a schedule is in place, practicing piano will become part of daily routine. After a while, the student won’t be so “worried” about time, but will want to achieve goals set by the teacher. The student will need dedication in order for the craft to go from mechanical to musical. Encourage them to listen to a wide range of styles and genre’s in order for them to develop their own taste for music. At an early stage, dedication can be ingrained in a student by participating in Recitals, Talent Shows and Worship Services. It takes diligence and dedication – also sacrifices to make piano a beautiful craft.

Abundance on the Web

How to Accomplish Abundance in your Life

Take a look at yourself - inside and out. Where do you live? What job do you have? How do you relate to your friends and family? What interests do you pursue? What adventures do you have?

What do you truly want from life? What's your master plan and purpose? Do you want wealth and success, happiness and peace of mind? Do you want a family and a yard, a yacht or a sports car? Where are you going? Do you have a particular goal, a dream and desire- OR - are you wandering through life just settling for whatever comes your way?

You CAN accomplish anything you want in life - that, my friend is true. Once realizing a desire, you need to set a goal - then you will fulfill that desire by straightforward commitment, total conviction and faith that it is the will of God for your life.

But what if you don't know what you want? Maybe your goals are smaller ones in comparison to others - like losing some weight or buying an new car. Maybe getting a promotion or finding a mate. Whether you want a bigger apartment, your first home or want to be CEO of your company - ANY avenue of prosperity or achievement is open to you if it's what you truly want.

No goal is too small, no dream is too big. Even if you aren't clear on your desires, you can tap into your subconscious mind to get the answers to find the path of your success - by prayer and seeking God in your life. He will reveal the answers to you in many different ways - and open doors to help you find your way.

Can you change your life? Do you want to? Can you picture yourself as your most perfect image of accomplishment? How does it feel? If you have the desire to attain goals, the commitment and perseverence to follow through and the ability to creatively imagine yourself in the position you dream of - you are more than halfway there!

The most successful leaders and artists throughout history have followed specific plans and goals to attain their hearts' desires. It takes tenacity and the attitude the you are more than a conquerer through Christ who strengthens you! Keep an open mind and a hopeful outlook - then change your thinking. Put on the armor of God and the clothes of success - act as though you already have accomplished your desires. Then let the reality catch up!

God's Word clearly tells us, "Therefore I say to you, whatever you desire, when you pray believing that you will recieve them - you shall have them." Mark 11:24

Of course, let's not get discouraged when things don't happen when you think it should, but trust God enough to know that His timing is ALWAYS perfect. God's words of wisdom also comfort us by this gentle reminder, "My thoughts are not your thoughts neither are your ways like my ways." Isaiah 55:8

So let's simply just trust our loving Master.

I leave you with this: A few years ago, at the Seattle Special Olympics, their were nine contestants, all physically or mentally disabled, assembled at the starting line for the 100-yard dash. At the gun, they all started out, not exactly in a dash, but with relish to run the race to the finish and win. All that is, but one boy who stumbled on the ground and tumbled a few times and began to cry. When the others heard the boy cry - all 8 of them turned around and went back to him. Every one of them.

One of the girls that had Down's Syndrome leaned over him and gave him a kiss on the cheek and soothed him by saying,"There, there, that'll make you better."

All nine of them - arm in arm - walked across the finish line together.

Makes us think, doesn't it? The simplest, most innocent in our society remind us about the basic, most important factors of fundamental humanism - love and compassion for eachother.

Laughter is the best medicine: Seen on a church bulletin board," The eighth graders will be presenting Shakespeare's Hamlet" in the church basement on Friday at 7 p.m. The congregation is invited to attend this tragedy."    ;)

Cuba's Reality

Hi there, today I'd like to discuss a subject that is very heavy in my heart. In our society  we are very blessed with abundance of everything our hearts desire, we have the freedom to come and go as we please, to obtain an education in whatever field we wish. To voice our opinions and make our own choices  - the United States of America is a blessed nation that was founded on the solid rock, Jesus Christ. Even so, whether you are Jewish, Muslim, Buddhist, Satanist or a sunflower-seed worshiper you still have the freedom to choose.....

.....And then there is Cuba. Sad, despondent, impoverished, abused. The "Pearl of the Caribbean" of the '50s is no longer. It's funny how easily it has been forgotten, the shining tropical island that is only 90 miles from the Keys. The people have been swept under the proverbial rug, brainwashed and made to feel complacent in the mire. Even those that have been chosen by the Cuban Government lottery to be able to come to the United States defend Cuba and speak of the abundance they live in. My question to them is - abundance of WHAT????? I truly believe it's a defense mechanism. To come and see a regular American Supermarket to them is like Disneyland to American children. Once exposed to the way life "ought" to be with all the choices and basic freedoms - they go into denial because of where they have to go back to. Psychologically they convince themselves the way of life they're used to is the best way. They have no choice. I'll say it again while my heart pangs, they have no choice.

While we live our daily lives in all our busyness, it's very easy to forget that there are people trying to simply survive having to endure every human rights violations. How can we forget that? How can one person make a difference? Our prayers and petitions make a big difference, talking to other people about the conditions in Cuba is another way. Unless you are a Cuban immigrant from the 60s, you are not aware of the mental and physical tortures that began in the Castro regime. 99% of the American public still has no clue to this day about how it all happened that Castro fooled the people and only after he was voted into power did he then tell the Cuban population about his political intent. Since then there have been countless political prisoners ripped away from their families with many never to be seen again.

I can go on forever about Cuba and the tyranny it's shackled down with, but more effectively I'd like to share a site I happened upon that will show actual pictures from the present (click on the link below). The Cuba that tourists see and the one the natives live in are two different worlds. It's time  we exposed the truth.

The fiction novel I'm currently writing is of course a fiction, with the setting in Cuba. Even though the story line is not true I do bring in elements about the real Cuba and describe the dilapidated condition it's in and hopefully this will create a curiosity in the American public about Cuba and it's current state. (or lack thereof) If you have any current stories or even past stories about Cuba, please feel free to contact me, any information will be appreciated.

Part of the mission statement for "Free Cuba Foundation" states the following,"

• That over three decades of athiest and materialist ideology have devastated the ethical and material life in Cuba.
• That the revitilization of the moral and spiritual life of Cuba is necessary for the survival of the Cuban nation.

The Bible says, "Where the Spirit of the Lord is, there is freedom."  Socialism in Cuba has imposed aetheism for long enough. There are things stirring in the spiritual realm and the blood shed on the Cuban soil has cried out for justice. Our God is a just God and has told us that vengeance is His. For we war not against flesh and blood, but against powers and principalities of the air. We must join together in prayer - in God's perfect timing justice will be served.

I leave you with this :   "It is terrible to speak of you, Liberty, for one who lives without you. A wild beast does not bend its knee before its tamer with greater fury. One discovers the depths of hell, and from there looks up at free men with their sun-like arrogance. One bites the air, like a hyena biting the bars of its cage. One's spirit writhes inside the body, like a man who has been poisoned. The wretch who lives without freedom feels like dressing in the mud from the streets. Those who have you, o Liberty, do not know you. Those who do not have you should not speak of you, but win you. " 

José Martí ~ Cuban Statesman, Poet, and Journalist (1853-1895)

Selah.     (pause and consider/meditate on)

I'm not MIA!

Hi, I’m back! Hope you’re enjoying your summer, I am! It’s great having the kids home, would you agree?

Hmmmm……LOL!  Okay, so it’s not so easy. I love having them with me, but – do I have to be their entertainment director too?? Oyyyy! So, this is the “Information Age Society”? What ever happened to using your imagination? Playing in the backyard all day?

Growing up in Manhattan I used to long for the days my Mom would take us to the park, go on nature walks in Hudson River Park, or simply play wall-ball all day. Oh no, these days -  if it’s not electronic, it can’t compete!  All I hear is “I’m bored”. Well, speaking of being “bored”, how about “Board games”? (Like that segue??;) It’s healthy for our family’s relationships that we make it “Board Game night” at least once a week. We should shut out the rest of the world and just focus on each other and enjoy each other’s company. In our world today, life is too hectic, each family member has a different agenda – the older they get, the busier the agenda. We need to refocus them to the fundamental truths of appreciating each other, not focusing all their attention on how to beat the latest video game! What about the massive amount of toys we think the kids HAVE to have. I’ve learned to streamline – it was a hard lesson to learn, but my 6 year old daughter was my teacher.

After having 2 boys, my precious little girl was spoiled by my family, and myself. Every pink little dress, toy or doll had to come into her possession. Last year, you couldn't even walk into her room – really. She had SO MUCH STUFF that even a little mess was a lot of mess. It got to the point where she didn’t even want to play in her room, it was too overwhelming for her. She began to tell me she wanted to move into her brother’s room!

Okay, so I stepped back, assessed the situation and spent the next 2 days packing up toys and clothing to give away to charity. She was actually delighted! Such a simple child, such a complicated life! There really was very little she wanted to keep, a couple of Barbies', the motorcycles and convertibles parked outside her Barbie House and very little else. If only I’d known, I would have saved a bundle! That brings to mind a scripture, “To whom much is given, much will be required.” Luke 12:48. Too much was required of Elise, she could not possibly be expected at the tender age of 6 to be responsible to keep a neat room – when there was such an over-abundance of toys, that is.

Her room looks beautiful now and we can actually use her trundle bed! Now, when I tell her to go pick up her room, I don’t get that wild-eyed confused horrified look, just the usual stomping and grumbling. I can deal with that.

What a lesson for all of us, whether it’s the advertising constantly bombarding us, or our own gluttony – we must get back to the basics.

I’ve actually daydreamed of moving to Tahiti somewhere, no cell phones, televisions, Ipods, Gameboys, bills for a gazillion different things, just a quiet simple life, back to the basics.

Then I get real and know that somehow I would find a way to complicate life. So, like I talked about in a previous article, I’ve learned to streamline my schedule – now I’ve learned to streamline my possessions.

Oh, how much more I enjoy life now! I still desire Tahiti – but I’d still want my computer!

For those of you that are interested in the home-business opportunities, I’m looking into one right now and it looks really good. I’m trying it myself and gaining the trust of the  author of the program, I’ll let you know the details soon.

Aside from the Piano Book Series I’m working on, I’ve also begun working on a fiction novel called “Pearl of the Caribbean”. It’s political, inspirational, intriguing, heart wrenching and action-packed. I should have it ready for the publisher in about 6 months, I’ll release the details on that soon as well.

Hey – if anyone knows of new, cutting-edge Praise and Worship Music of any style, drop me a note in the comment section! Thanks, I’ll get back to you guys soon, God bless ;)

I leave you with this : "Junk is something you've kept for years and throw away three weeks before you need it."  :0) Medicine : After tucking their three-year-old child Sammy in for bed one night, his parents heard sobbing coming from his room. Rushing back in, they found him crying hysterically. He managed to tell them that he had swallowed a penny and he was sure he was going to die. No amount of talking was helping.His father, in an attempt to calm him down, palmed a penny from his pocket and pretended to pull it from Sammy's ear. Sammy was delighted. In a flash, he snatched it from his father's hand, swallowed, and then cheerfully demanded, "Do it again, Dad!"
