Fun on the Web March 29 2014 Principles of Success

20 Principles of Success found on a friends post on Facebook

1.  The only thing in life you have control over is your perspective. No matter what happens, YOU control what the meaning is, and what to do with the meaning you give to the circumstance.


2.  Have more fear of regret than failure.


3.  Failure is only part of the journey to success. There is not one success story out there that hasn’t experienced failure. The reason you are hearing about it as a success story is because those people saw failure as a tool to get it right.


4.  It’s not about what you want to do for a living, it’s about you who want to be. What is your purpose and legacy?  I believe the age-old question, “What do you want to be when you grow up?” is wrong. We need to be asking, “Who do you want to be? What footprint do you want to leave in this world?” From there, you will have your answer as to what you should “do.”


5.  Stay focused on your race within. When you are too busy looking behind and around you, people are passing you by.


6.  True leadership comes from good energy. Worry more about what your energy is like than the firmness your handshake.


7.  Life will give you the same challenges/problems over and over again until you learn your lesson.


8.  Until you jump over your inner roadblocks, your outer ones will stay firmly in place. We spend so much time focused on all the exterior obstacles around us, letting them be our excuses. But the more clear and aware we are of our internal roadblocks, and dissolve them, the external roadblocks will begin to disappear, too.


9.  The most successful people are the ones that work on themselves first.


10.  Do not judge—be inspired. If you are too busy judging everyone and everything around you, you are not remaining open to find inspiration in everyone and everything around you.


11. You are not allowed to complain about something unless you are going to do something about it.


12. Surround yourself with people you want to be like.


13. Learn to become comfortable with being uncomfortable. The more fears you face, the more you will grow.


14. Always ask, “What if?” and, “Why Not?” Instead of thinking, “What if I fail?” ask, “What if I succeed?”


15. Creativity is your unlimited capital. Understand and harness its power.


16. “I only have good days.” If you start off everyday with this mindset, even when challenges emerge, your positive mindset will help you overcome them more readily.


17. Create your own footprint. You do not need to do what others have done before you.


18. Hit the “mental reset button.” When you are thinking negative thoughts, envision hitting the “delete” button in your mind and begin to rewrite a better story.


19. Abundance is everywhere. You must choose to see it and believe it in order to fully experience it.


20. There is a lesson in everything that happens to us—wisdom to be gained and gratitude to be given. Begin with gratitude and everything else will reveal itself.

Fun on the Web March 23 2014 Do Your Colors

Did you ever have your colors done? If you never did this, how do you shop for clothes? Do you truly know what are the best colors for you to wear or do you try on everything until you see what is just right?

"The Power of Color - Image consultants know that color is an easy, quick way to look better. How? By clarifying skin and enhancing eye & hair color. But how do you figure out your colors?" 
http://www.stylemakeovers.com/index.html

Wearing colors that are right not only make you feel better but you are actually stronger in them. I know it sounds weird but it was a kind of parlor trick that was done at the in person analysis. They draped you in a scarf of "your season" and you could resist an outside force applied to your arm much more readily than when draped in the "wrong season".
http://colorenalysis.com/

This site shows the actual colors that go with each of the 12 season system
http://www.collegefashion.net/fashion-tips/how-to-find-your-perfect-colors/

Here is an even easier quiz which I personally agree with the results and it goes into more depth than just 4 seasons but breaks into 16 segments.

Fun on the Web March 17 2014 Happy Saint Patricks Day!

Is everyone Irish on Saint Patrick's Day? Maybe not, but the rest of the year 11% of the US population identifies their heritage as Irish, I always identify with my Welsh heritage and claim that is close enough to count. Anyway you look at it it's a day associated with the coming spring. We all need that this year!

Being both a cultural and a religious holiday people celebrate in various ways. I'm not into green beer but I will be eating a corned beef sandwich today. Thank goodness for slow cookers! I'll be looking hard for something green to wear since most of my wardrobe is in storage. How about you?

Don't drink green beer

http://www.realhousemoms.com/pot-o-gold-cocktail/

and of course there are always the Vodka Gimlet and the grasshopper.

Although these parades happened on the weekend this is still an interesting article listing the biggest parades: http://www.ibtimes.com/st-patricks-day-parade-2014-top-10-largest-parades-schedules-route-maps-new-york-boston-chicago-more

Fun on the Web March 4 2014 Mardi Gras - Fat Tuesday

Did you know Mardi Gras is really a season? Starting on Twelfth Night (Epiphany) Jan 6 a season of parties begins along with one parade by Phunny Phorty Phellows - Streetcar Route, 7:00 p.m

Mardi Gras, also known as Fat Tuesday or Shrove Tuesday, is the last day of feasting before Lent begins on Ash Wednesday. It was common to use up your fat and sugar before Lent begins so different cultures offer different delicacies. In Milwaukee with its large Polish population we think Paczki (a jelly filled sugared donut), in New Orleans its King Cake. http://mardigrasday.com/mardigras/kcrecip.php
http://catholicism.about.com/od/catholicliving/tp/Fat_Tuesday_Recipes.htm

But did you know Mardi Gras is really a season? Purists will refer to the season as Carnival but many refer to it as Mardi Gras. Starting on Twelfth Night (Epiphany) Jan 6 or King's Day (since the Wise Men were alledged to arrive in Bethlehem on that day) a season of parties and parades begin. One typically held on Epihany is by Phunny Phorty Phellows - Streetcar Route, 7:00 p.m. Then the weekends start to be the focus for more parades until the final week before Ash Wednesday when there is something going on every day.

Historically speaking it was Pope Gregory XIII who made it a Christian holiday when, in 1582, he put it on his Gregorian calendar (the 12-month one we still use today). In America, parades started around 1838 but private parties has started before that along with the custom of the baby in the King Cake predicting who would have the next party.

Fun on the Web March 2 2014 Mardi Gras - Oscars

Are you having a party tonight for the Oscars? What to watch.
http://www.chicagotribune.com/entertainment/music/chi-oscars-2014-main-20140302,0,5940720.story

If so does your party have a Mardi Gras feel to it? Check out some of these tasty treats and beverages to see if some last minute additions are in order or plan a special meal for the family early in the week. Just a reminder that Tuesday is Fat Tuesday aka Mardi Gras so King Cake and Paczki should be around if you look for them. Although Mardi Gras is really a season, up north it's only right around Fat Tuesday that anything is available (except online).

Kitchen Daily has a recipe for King Cake
