PRIOR-itizing Life

It seems in this day and age, we are in the age of technology and even more so, we are in the age of where money is what rules the world. We no longer look at how to help people unless there is a price to pay, an 'amount' that needs to be put on one persons life, one family's livelihood, one country's survival, our world, as a whole. But why must there be a price to pay for living our life? Why should we have to beg for food, pay for water, never be happy because of our life circumstances? Are we not put on this earth to LIVE? To be HAPPY?! So, go back a few centuries and look and what might have happened if the almighty dollar had not been created. What if in this day and age, all you had to do was to donate your time, somewhere, for someone. Help out a neighbor, a business, work your farm to create food for others, work in a store to place clothes on racks, food on shelves, items needed for our everyday lives, in place for others in this world?

I don't get it, I really don't. Sure, call me naive, but I just don't get it. IF I want to follow a star, say, Oprah Winfrey, or Sandra Bullock, find other ways online to follow them, through you tube videos, interviews given on news and websites that you know are trustworthy. Watch "E" news sites and more, to see if you can catch information about those people to see if they have ac...

One of the newest trends of social networking today is Twitter. Many have heard of it, thinking oh this could be cool, others think just yet another annoyance when it comes to social networking. Yet another way for people to contact me, or yet another way for people to find me, get on my last nerves, but first, think of a few things. Twitter has much to offer to everyone, from the very young to the young at heart. Yes, it is a highly weighted advertising tool for many people, BUT, it is also a way to find out some very cool information out there that you might not otherwise be privy to see or even know about. Some trivial information, such as what someone had to eat today or what their kid did, might not seem so grand or informative, but then you have stock information, weather information, links to good videos, great and new innovative ideas on how to network, to challenge your life, others, inspiration and so much more. It is worth checking out and even signing up just to see what it...
