Do You Have Any New Year's Resolutions?

Do you have any New Year's Resolutions? What are they?

What are mine? Well one of my goals is to just make more money!

I have been learning a lot about the law of attraction and I am also becoming quite a fan of it as well.

I want to attract more money into my life and that is what one of my New Year's resolutions is going to be.

So, do you have any New Year's resolutions and if so what are they?

Do You Vote?

I just heard on my local news that only 30% of registered voters turned out for our November 2nd elections! I sort of kind of found that news shocking because I thought that more people voted than that!

Voting and participating in the elections is a very high priority in the area that I live in - which is LaMott, PA. So many people in my area turn out to vote - including both the young and the old! It is also the time when everybody greets everyone even if you saw them just a few hours ago!

I have to admit that I didn't start voting until later in life - like somewhere in my 30's - don't ask me why I waited so long because I honestly couldn't tell you!

But now that I am a registered voter I have not missed voting in one election since I became a registered voter!

I know that some people gripe about voting and I even have a relative who has told me that he doesn't vote because he just doesn't think that it will do any good! I disagree with him however! And I have even tried to convince him to vote. He is a veteran and has received many different kinds of government grant programs that have helped him financially - especially with his medical bills. But still he doesn't vote????

So my question to you is do you vote? Have you ever voted in the past but stopped doing so? If so, why?

Quiz - Who Am I Meant To Be?

I found this interesting quiz on Oprah.com and decided to take it myself.

Although I am very happy with the career choice that I have made about researching grant programs I decided to take the quiz anyway just to be curious.

It will take you a few minutes to get through the questions but once you finish you get a pretty detailed answer. I have to say that the results that I got for myself were quite accurate!

Who Am I Meant To Be?

What Is Your Favorite Halloween Movie?

I guess that I would have to say that the original "Halloween" movie is my favorite Halloween movie!

I'm talking about the original version with Jamie Lee Curtis although it is a little out-dated now. I haven't seen the newer version yet - the one with Malcolm McDowell in it.

The original Halloween movie just seems to me to be the one that epitomizes Halloween the best.

So what is YOUR favorite Halloween movie?

Do You Think That You Could Ever Be A Debt Collector?

I just got finished blogging about an online article called "Confessions Of A Debt Collector" to my Money Basics Blog 101 and the article was very interesting.

The article mentioned that the average salary of a debt collector can be as much as $12 per hour and I know that a lot of people who are out of work right now would be interested in taking that kind of job if for no other reason than the salary.

However this sort of job does have its disadvantages and one of them is that there is a quota that you have to fill - in other words - you have to collect a certain amount of money. Debt collectors also receive a commission on the money that they actually collect.

So the question is do you think that you could be a debt collector?

For me personally one of the jobs that I hated the most was selling Time Life books over the phone! I did not last at that job very long because I believe that I only sold one set of books! So I do not think that I would like taking a job as a debt collector.

So what do you think? Could YOU be a debt collector?

6 Teaspoons Of Sugar?

I read an interesting fact online about how much sugar a woman should have per day. The amount is 6 teaspoons of sugar per day!

I thought about how much sugar I consume in a day. I try to just use 2 teaspoons of sugar with a cup of coffee or tea - mostly tea because coffee always kind of makes me jittery!

But that is just for the beverages. What about the sugar that I have with my cereal and the sugar that is in the soda that I drink? I think that is way above the suggested limit!

Don't know what I would do without my morning tea though but reading about how much sugar one should consume has me thinking about cutting down.

So do you meet or exceed the suggested amount of sugar that one is suppose to consume per day?

How Do You Think President Obama Is Doing So Far?

I realize that in some respects that it is just too early to tell how well the President is doing!

In some ways I think he means well but this is such a big financial mess that our country is in! The President gave money to the banks to help people to avoid foreclosures and what did the banks do? They were still doing foreclosures! I think that for a change, President Obama should help those peoples and families who are facing foreclosures on their homes by stopping ALL foreclosures for at least 4 - 5 years! Why? Because people are losing their jobs meaning that it becomes harder to pay for their bills including their mortgages.

I realize that the "cash for clunkers" program was a good idea to stimulate the economy but a lot of people still didn't have enough money to still buy a new car.

In my own personal opinion I think that the President should try helping the PEOPLE of the United States instead of helping the companies and big businesses!

What Element Are You?

What Element or Elements are You Most Aligned With?

Here is my quiz answer:

You are most aligned with FIRE and WATER.
Fire represents energy, tool for transformation, connection to personal power, and inner strength. Water represents emotional release, intuition, and inner reflection.

The elements you are not as strongly connected to are air and earth. Air represents intellect, mental intention, and connection to universal life force. Earth represents grounding, foundation of life, substance, connection to life path, and family roots.

What Did You Have For Breakfast Today?

there used to be a time when I skipped breakfast because I was usually so much in a rush! But now as I'm getting older I realize that this is not a good thing! I'm sure that you have heard of the saying that "breakfast is the most important meal of the day - right?

This morning - in an effort to eat more healthier - I had an orange (vitamin C) and some toast with butter and jelly and of course my morning cup of coffee!

Are You A Night Owl?

Are you nocturnal?

There was a time when I was a DJ that I used to work the night shift - 12am-6am - and I was quite comfortable with it except when someone was knocking at the door or the phone rang!

I also used to work the same shift at a supermarket putting away the groceries. I liked that shift because you could wear any kind of comfortable clothes that you wanted!

Of course I have also had jobs where I have worked during "normal" business hours too!

Now since I work from home doing grant research my hours are pretty much what I want them to be!

However I realize that there is a whole world of people who work at night and sleep during the day. Are you one of them?

What Element Were You Born Under?

I'm copying and pasting the code. I hope it turns out alright!

You Were Born into the Metal Element

You are an energetic, active person who values ambition. You think success is important. You are very unique and competent. You know how to live a good life, without following anyone else's rules. You have to watch out for anxiety. Sometimes you find it hard to let go and relax. You are stubborn and persistent. You won't give up out of principle, even if it's the right thing to do.

What Element Were You Born Into?

I checked it in the preview mode and it seemed to come out okay!

Getting back to my quiz results I was hoping for a more "earthy" element but this does sound a lot like me!

Name A Favorite Movie Of Yours....

One of my favorite movies is a movie called "Contact". It stars Jodie Foster and it is a movie about a woman scientist who continues to believe in what she is trying to do even though it seems the people around her don't!

(This movie also has a sub-plot about government grants and getting funding for one's endeavors and since I do grant research this interests me more!)

There is also a romantic sub-plot as well with a good-looking male actor as well!

I like this movie because it just seems so much like real life in that when someone has a dream or feels strongly about it there seems to always be an obstacle or someone or something that gets in the way. There is even the possibility of others trying to get you to give up on your dreams - but yet the main character continues to pursue her dream!

As a Dream Job Consultant, I truly believe that reaching one's dreams is absolutely possible! A lot of people dream about working from home. I do it and so do a lot of other people so this is something that is entirely possible! You can find out more about working from home by going to my Working From Home Blog.

I'm happy to say that the movie does have a good ending - but I won't give away the entire storyline.

So.....what is one of YOUR favorite movies and why?
