Rich Beyond Words

Okay I know I like to blog about attracting money and other good things to yourself.

So I think it’s fine for me to write occasionally about blogging, internet marketing and list building as these are things which can definitely contribute to your wealth.

In this case I have to agree with the Build a Better Blog ladies who say that it’s darn aggravating when people don’t leave their names when commenting. I myself can’t determine either whether to take the comment for real or consider it spam. And how the heck do you reply back to the person?

So I’m guilty of being Richcroc on some places like Twitter, & Science of Getting Rich Forums but every one knows I’m Claudia Apfelthaler. Oh and then there’s the Science of Being Well Forums which I like to hang out at from time to time where I’m registered as Healthcroc.

A little portrait puts a face behind the name. Me I’ve got nothing to hide and you?

Another touching story from an unknown author.
I ran into a stranger as he passed by,
“Oh excuse me please” was my reply.
He said, “Please excuse me too;
I wasn’t watching for you.”
We were very polite, this stranger and I.
We went on our way saying good-bye.
But at home a difference is told,
how we treat our loved ones, young and old.
Later that day, cooking the evening meal, My son stood beside me very still.
As I turned, I nearly knocked him down.
“Move out of the way,” I said with a frown.

He walked away, his little heart broken.
I didn’t realize how harshly I’d spoken.
While I lay awake in bed,
A still small voice came to me and said, “While dealing with a stranger, common courtesy you use, But the children you love, you seem to abuse.
Go and look on the kitchen floor,
You’ll find some flowers there by the door.
Those are the flowers he brought for you.
He picked them himself: pink, yellow and blue.
He stood very quietly not to spoil the surprise, and you never saw the tears that filled his little eyes.”

By this time, I felt very small,
and now my tears began to fall.
I quietly went and knelt by his bed;
“Wake up, little one, wake up,” I said. ”
Are these the flowers you picked for me?”
He smiled, “I found ‘em, out by the tree.
I picked ‘em because they’re pretty like you.
I knew you’d like ‘em, especially the blue.”
I said, “Son, I’m very sorry for the way I acted today; I shouldn’t have yelled at you that way.”
He said, “Oh, Mom, that’s okay. I love you anyway.”
I said, “Son, I love you too,
and I do like the flowers, especially the blue.”

if you’re wondering why I’ve plastered this post with pictures of myself it’s because what I’m about to tell you is so darn interesting.

I was watching Galileo which is one of those TV programmes which has all sorts og interesting stuff. Anyway on this particular series some clever people were saying that each person has a left and a right face. So after seeing the experiment on TV I thought I’ve got to try this out on myself. I always knew that my left and right face is different. One look in the mirror told me so. I know my smile is skew. I was kind of shocked by the results and I nearly didn’t publish it for fear of revealing my neanderthaler aspects to the world! (Every woman likes to show only her best self) But what the heck? These are my pictures. I did this with photoshop. I ruled a line down the middle of my face and then copied the separate halves and stuck the mirror images together.

It’s like I can see my kind self and my mean self. Ouch!

What you haven’t heard about the thirty day challenge yet?

Hello this is the hottest and most informative internet marketing information available. And it’s FREE.

You got that right - FREE.

I know I should have told you about this earlier but I was well, how can I say? I was just having an identity problem can you believe?

Seriously I was having a crisis about my blog and freaking out about which template to use etc. Every time I looked at the darn thing I just hated it. And that of course turned into a whole procrastination scenario - common I’m sure you’ve been there.

Then I totally believed I had to buy myself a camcorder because my webcam doesn’t allow me creativity and bla bla…. Typical procrastination.

Phew, glad I found the wordpress theme I’m using because you know what? it just resonated with me. And I don’t care if other people are using it. The point is I have dreams often that I’m in one of those hot air balloons. This was like wow, here are the pictures in my head in a FREE wordpress theme!

But now back to the 30 day challenge - it’s beginning on the 1st of August 2008 and there’s some preseason stuff you need to catch up with. Stuff like learning about twitter, friendfeed and browsers etc.

Let me just say that I’ve been around some and the 30 day challenge is worth money.

Ed and Dan are more than just nice guys. Ed is on the social front more but Dan’s a clever geek guy and between the two of them you land up with a dynamite package. Also they’re fun which counts loads for me. Because I despise boring big time. So they get my vote for entertaining and informative.

Do yourself a favor like this minute and get signed up to the 30 Day Challenge.

Here’s a video I made on my webcam the day before I fell into useless apathy ha ha… but it is about the 30 day challenge.
