When Someone Cares ...

When Someone Cares . . .

When someone cares

it is easier to speak,

it is easier to listen,

it is easier to play,

and it is easier to work.

When someone cares

it is easier to laugh.

Thanks for caring about me.

I want you to know

that I care about you!

I love you and I will always

be here for you!

Love never hurries, it is always kind.

It is not jealous, and never boasts of its greatness.

Love is not rude or selfish.

It is always ready to forgive and forget mistakes we make.

Love is no friend of wickedness, but delights in honesty and truth.

Love is strong and never gives up.

It never loses its trust in God or its hope for the future.

Love will survive all things because it is everlasting.

1 Cor 13:4-8

My name is Carol Salisbury and that is my little dog Taffy with me in the picture! Currently we live in Southern California in the good old USA. She is one of the joys that the Lord has blessed me with in my life. She's a little camera shy which is why I'm holding her head to face the camera. I'm not really trying to strangle her ...

I found her in my local shelter after searching for my perfect match for over a year. It certainly was well worth the wait because she is perfect! Well, almost... but that's a different story! Be sure and check out "Taffy's Corner" & "Taffy's Friends" at our website http://youpayitforward.com/ for the rest of our story! If you have "fur babies" that you'd like me to add to "Taffy's Friends" page with a link to your website, just follow the directions there and I'll be happy to do it for you! "Taffy's Friends" page is such a "fun" page to look at (even if you don't have fur baby pics to add to it) that I just love to update it with new pics and links!

Well, back to my story... I was born December 26 in Lynwood, California in %^&*.... hmmmm, what's wrong with my keyboard??? I guess it won't allow birthdates to be inserted in here.... hehehehe! Yes, I am part of that rare species... a true Californian! Yes, it was terrible having my birthday on the day after Christmas. My mother gave me the opportunity to change the day to celebrate my birthday on to any other day of the year so I chose Easter. My child's mind told me if I was going to move it away from Christ's birthday then it should be near his resurrection day! My mom decided we'd just leave the celebration day where it was...

I was the 4th and last child to be born and grew up in a little town called Hollydale which eventually became part of South Gate and is in Los Angeles County in Southern California. I looked like Shirley Temple with all my ringlets (yes, those are really mine!) and I wanted to learn to tap dance just like she did... so I was enrolled in the local park tap class.

I never got to finish that class because the doctor thought I had Scarlet Fever and I was put on bed rest! Turned out I just had knocked knees and ankles that rolled out... so I wore high top orthopedic shoes and special orthotics, you know the kind of shoes they used with those steel leg braces? The doctor said I was lucky that I didn't have to wear the braces. I had to wear that type of shoe until Junior High when I got to wear black & white oxfords... of course they weren't in style any more... and then in High School I got to wear white buck oxfords. They weren't in style either... wonder where my mom found those things anyway???

When I turned 18 I got to wear regular people's shoes! Yahoo! Got a summer job before I started college... liked it so much that I never went to college (except for a few night classes) and continued to work and bought a car. Soon thereafter I met the man I married. He was 13 years older than me and when he asked me out I said I would have to think about it. I told my mom about it and she said go ahead and go out with him just for the fun of it. Well, I ended up falling in love with him and a year later I married him.... and I never let my mom forget it was all her idea!

I divorced him after 20 years of marriage... it seems he just couldn't be a one-woman man. I couldn't handle that since I was a one-man woman. I tried to stick it out since I had been raised that you marry once in your lifetime but I also lived by the "3 strikes and you're out" rule! Actually he is the person that introduced me to network marketing. He went to a business meeting and came back signed up with a nutrition company... I don't even remember what the name of that company was. The next company he got us involved in was NSA water filters for $10,000! Hey, anyone need a water filter? I think I've still got 1 or 2 left in my garage...

Next came Tupperware (my choice, not his!) and I was very successful. But after 8 years of parties, deliveries, packing orders and prospecting for new party chains, I got burned out.... turned in my company car and resigned. I have been involved in many companies since then... mostly to be able to purchase products at wholesale and a few of them to create a residual income. More on that later...

I also owned a Dance Studio for 20 years with my business partner, Barbara Vera, where I taught 6 days a week... choreographed, directed, and produced huge dance concerts and musicals each year. I love teaching and working with students to help them be the best they can be, but owning your own small business is NOT a joy... it is a MILLSTONE around your neck. We lost our lease in 2001 so we no longer have that business, but I still teach 1-2 days a week for another studio where I can just enjoy the perks and not have to deal with all of the headaches of "owning your own business". I have students that perform on Broadway, choreograph for music videos, got a dance degree through a University and are currently teaching dance, others that have received a degree to teach Pilates and Dance Conditioning, and several that are in community and professional dance companies.

One of my students recently auditioned for the world-renowned Alvin Ailey Dance Company and was chosen to join them. She'll be moving to New York this June on full scholarship to begin studying with them and learn their repertoire! She was my student since she was 5 years old and she's now 22! I have another student that has just made the commitment to audition for the Miami City Ballet Company in February 2007 so I have made a commitment to her to work with her every week until then to help her realize her dream. She started dancing with me when she was 12 and is now 26. She has belonged to several different community dance companies already but this will be her first attempt to join a large professional ballet company.

I now do network marketing full time working from home which gives me the time to be more active in my church & local community. It also gives me the time to help take care of my best friend of 29 years who is now in a long term care nursing home after having suffered a very severe stroke following a major surgery in March. I go to see her 3-4 times a week... I would ask for your prayers for her continued recovery in Jesus' name... her name is Barbara Vera. At one point she had been placed in a Hospice Center as the medical community said there was no hope and nothing more they could do but to let nature take it's course. However, God has plans for her and didn't let her die. She is paralyzed on her right side and is unable to speak but her mind and personality are there, and she is getting more alert everyday! Thank you for praying for a continued miracle working in Barbara....

I'm so glad that the company I work with has many different ways of earning money ... two of which are totally passive wherein the company builds your residual income for you. Fortunately for Barbara, she had joined this company as well and is currently earning a residual income that continues to grow each month even though she cannot walk or talk at this time. Currently it is paying her health insurance premiums and is a great help in her life.

So, there you have my story. I am now full-time Internet Marketer and love the freedom and lifestyle of working with my dog at my feet (or lying on my bed). Welcome to my world of "Paying It Forward"! If you aren't sure what that means, I highly encourage you to rent the movie "Pay It Forward"... you'll be glad you did! It could change your perspective on life! Just put on your best smile, start thinking of others and what you can do for them and you can change the world... one person at a time!

To meet us and learn more about Taffy and I, please visit our web site at http://youpayitforward.com/. Be sure to visit Taffy's Corner while you're there for a good chuckle! When you visit Taffy's Friends page (the link is at the end of Taffy's story), be sure to watch "The Dog Video" to laugh your socks off!

Blessings to you all!

The Master Papason

A Mother's Love

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can understand our tears,
Can soothe our disappointments
And calm all of our fears.

There are times when only a Mother's love
Can share the joy we feel
When something we have dreamed about
Quite suddenly is real.

There are times when only a Mother's faith
Can help us on life's way
And inspire in us the confidence
We need from day to day.

For a Mother's heart and a Mother's faith
And a Mother's steadfast love
Were fashioned by the Angels
And sent from God above.

So, please welcome our guest of honour:
James Maxwel,
from Las Vegas

Here is James's Bio

MATRIX - Reloaded

Hey Lisa,

Thanks for this opportunity to re-visit my Ancient Past. Thanks in advance for making this visit to share your thoughts and encouragements on what will soon become "The Lives and Times Of James Maxwel" - if this spotlight thing keeps shining on me! So please sign my GuestBook before I turn into a pumpkin! http://www.goodnewsforall.com/GuestBook/index.php

==================================

In the beginning... (Nope... wrong entry)

I guess the stork miss-read the notation on my delivery card, so the initial "P" for Palace became "P" as in dirt "Poor" in Jamaica.

But who am I to complain. I was the 7th in a brood of 12 children for my Mother and the 1st for my Dad, who proudly dubbed me "Papason" - cute, huh.

For some Godly reason I don't understand 'till this day - my mother thought I was special - must be for the fact that I wouldn't eat solid food for 3 or 4 years - had to have mother's milk and soup. Wouldn't do those country miles on foot, either - my uncle had to carry me on his shoulders most of the time -used to chase my older sister around the yard with a stick, asking her "What's my name?" and she would reply "Master Papason, Sir! Now, you see why the Stork didn't leave me at the Palace - what a tyrant I would be! Like most kids I had imaginary friends and could see spirits from the beyond until I turned off the communication.

My Mother was a saint, generous to a fault and was very spiritual. God Bless Her Soul.

Fast forward - Despite all that I grew up to be very independent - finished my education in Bus Admin and Marketing and took to the business world. Did OK, but I was always a restless adventurer wanting to cover new grounds instead of doing routine stuff. Immigrated to the States, studied Adv in New York and took to selling any thing I could get into.

I was never an avid reader - read magazines and books from the back to the front - but did a lot of reading on success books - Finally decide on my own formula - "Find something you do well and love to do, and fate will take care of the rest.

As those who have read my other Bio Entries know by now that I have a Beautiful and Loving Ex-wife (not the lady on my slides) and three adorable daughters. No sons - which is good because I am not an avid sports fan.

Characters Wanted - Link:

http://www22.rockyou.com/viewslideshow.php?instanceid=1559556

I seem to have innate talents in most of the art forms - signing -writing - graphics -dancing - but no patience for routine and practice. Sorry, Guys. This is getting so long, I surely wouldn't read it.

Thanks again for putting up with me, Love You ALL

My Colors

My Color

All the colors of the rainbow, what a sight to be seen
From the brightest of reds, to the darkest of green

We all can see the rainbow, some more clearly than the rest
our emotions are tied, to the one's we see the best

Some may see the blue, for it is cold as a lonely life,
others may feel the red, for it can smell as an aromatic spice

The color of the sun runs through my veins, for I feel my life is bright
No need for the competition, constant struggle, or the fight.

Can everybody one day find? the ever present pleasures of life
Or do they just except, the daily troubles and strife

Feel the energy, grasp the image in the mirror
Be happy with what you see, without question or the fear.

To find out more about him, here is his BIO!

Hello to all my friends and ones I have yet to meet. As I always do things outside the box I thought who would be the best person to do my Bio other than myself? The only person I could think of was the first woman I fell in love with, my Mother. These are her words as she remembers them.

"Some notes about our son Nick

(His Bio)

Nick was born June 13 -1951 in a small village in Holland. He was a big boy of 9 pounds and a good baby. He never cried and seemed to be content. In 1954 we immigrated to Canada and made it our home. We stayed with friends for 2 weeks and moved in our own apartment. When Nick was 5 his baby brother was born and Nick loved him.Nick has done some crazy things. One day a lady came to the door and told me that he drank milk and cream from the bottles that were standing on the porch. That time the milkman left them early so when Nick went to school he did that . They were only scared that he would get sick. Also Nick went to Catholic school and when the kids were not behaving the nuns would put the kid on his knees under a statue and left them there. Nick had nightmares and would wake up crying, so we transferred him to a public school. The nun had told Nick he would go to hell.He also had karate classes as he was not a fighter .It did not help much as he would not defend himself. Ten years after Nick was born a little baby sister was born and he was crazy about her. He was an inventive kid. One day he had a carton box and was making wings for it and a little wheel .when finished he said “Mom open the window, .I am going to fly. There were so many incidents but these are just a few. Nick went to high school and after that became a sheet metal apprentice. He got a job at A.W. Henley Machine & Tool and worked there for 18 years. Nick married in 1976.After 18 years of marriage they divorced. It took a couple of years to get it all together. He had 3 back operations and is still fighting to have his WSIB file re-opened as he does not get much on disability. Then he met Yvette and they are already 10 years together. They go through thick and thin. At times to keep him busy, Nick started a cigarette tin foil ball. He has got so many friends to save the foil and started it the day he met Yvette. The ball is now about 43lbs, so save your empty packs as this is going into the Guinness Book of Records. Nick is a very caring person and if I have something on my mind, I can always call on him. He is the oldest, the first and also my best friend.

Too Often

Too often we don't realize
What we have until it is gone.
Too often we wait too late to say
"I'm sorry - I was wrong."

Sometimes it seems we hurt the ones
We hold dearest to our hearts;
And we allow foolish things
To tear our lives apart.

Far too many times we let
Unimportant things into our minds;
And then it's usually too late
To see what made us blind.

So be sure that you let people know
How much they mean to you.
Take the time to say the words
Before your time is through.

Be sure that you appreciate
Everything you've got;
And be thankful for the little things
in life that mean a lot.

Maybe God wants us to meet a few wrong people

before meeting the right one

so that when we finally meet the right person,

we will know how to be grateful for that gift.

Now, let's introduce you our Guest of Honour of this week:

Scott Reynolds

"Scott has a great sense of humor and is an all around good guy and great friend to have here at AdlandPro!"
-Shannon B.-

I am Scott Reynolds and this is

my Bio.

I was born and raised on a Dairy Farm in Randolph Vermont USA.

My childhood was spent out doors, no matter the weather. My two younger sisters weren't really the ideal playmates and the neighbors were far enough away so we could only visit them once in a while. So that left me to find my own adventures. We never had much money but always seemed to get by. Of course we had meat, milk and veggies from the farm. Who needs anything else? We never had much for toys but that didn't matter because by the time we were old enough to think about it we had to pitch in and help with the farm work. One of my favorite toys was the tiny wheelbarrow I got shortly after I learned to walk. I wore the little tire right off that poor wheelbarrow hauling bedding for the cows, helping my dad. I was probably more of a pain in the butt than a help, but I was the biggest little three foot man in my eyes. As I got older I found taking things apart to see how they worked a great adventure. I also found I had to be selective in what I took apart. Some things people still used! Then I graduated into building things. I built a full set of haying equipment for my pedal tractor that I dragged around the yard for a long time. My parents were catching on, soon it was hard to find building materials and I had to move on again. High School was kind of like how my life turned out. I just coasted by through most of it and then decided I would get more out of it if I tried. Still a quiet, not to out going kind of guy. I graduated with high honors the last half of my senior year. I also took both auto and recreational - agricultural mechanics, I was student of the year in both. Most jobs I have had over the years have been mechanical, a couple factory jobs but couldn't hack that. Ran my own shop for about 5 years, I let other people talk me into working for someone else again. I have been working for my present employer for 24 years this May. I have worked on everything from weed whackers to Tractor Trailers.
I am on my third marriage, (I think I have it figured out this time!) second house, and an attitude that might let me succeed this time. I have two boys and a girl from two of my marriages, two stepdaughters from the last. My whole life has been about working, I guess I should have spent a little more time with my wives!? With the divorces and the kids wanting to stay with mom, I started drinking and isolating myself (protecting myself from more hurt and rejection)..................No need to bore you with details.................. ending up in a one room apt with no friends, no license, and my job on the line. I don't know yet what happened to change my mind. I had a great friend in the bottom of my beer. But one day I woke up and decided I wanted to live the rest of my life, not just watch life goes by. The rest is history. I quit drinking, well I fell of the wagon a couple of times in the beginning but haven't had a drink now for two and a half years. I met a wonderful woman whom I married. I started trying to make money on line, after all, every where you looked someone was telling how much you could make just by setting at home with a computer in front of you! I have learned a lot, spent a lot, and not made much. Yeah, I've joined at least one of every type program out there. They all have at least one great point, I found it takes more than that.
The last two years have been great! Its weird spiraling up instead of down! I had some hard times this winter (money got tight, two computers crashed, had to drop most of the paid programs I was in, give up my web site) but because of the new positive aspects in my life, I'm fine! AdlandPro is a big part of my new positive life. It has supplied a great support system of friends! It has given me Dr. King, and all my friends/partners at WOSAT Distribution LLC. It has given me Bo, Dennis, and all my friends of Right Road I love to help people and with all these friends helping me, I might just get smart enough to actually help someone! LOL I Thank God, my wife Marcia, My children (and step daughters), My boss that put up with me all those years and still believes in me, and all my friends at AdlandPro for making my life wonderful!
OOOpppps! Can't forget our dogs, Buster, Zoe, Coco, and Jack, and kitties, Snag and Cougar.

Dream Work - Team Work

"The secret of staying young is to live honestly,
Eat slowly, and lie about your age."

-- Lucille Ball --

"Be Joyful in hope, patient in affliction, faithful in prayer."

We wish you a wonderful Birthday!
May you have the best in life always!

Enjoy the day and live life kingsize,
William Connelly from South Jersey!

South Jersey has played a role in lots of historic events. The Revolution. The American Civil War and the Underground Railroad. Women's Suffrage. In fact, the region has been a key player in just about every major event in our nation's growth and traces of everything from simple 18th century Quaker meeting houses to the stark Burlington County Prison to elaborate 19th century Victorian Main Street communities to 20th century battleships, still stand in testimony to South Jersey's role in history.
South Jersey's place in history began, oh, about 80 million years ago in the Cretaceous period when a Hadrosaurus laid down one day and never got up again. Fast forward to one fine day in 1858 when William Foulke was digging around in Haddonfield and hit upon that poor, forlorn dinosaur. It was the discovery of the century -- the world's first nearly complete dinosaur skeleton – which shook up the scientific world and the way it looked at the prehistoric creatures. The location where Foulke found the Hadrosaurus foulkii was designated as a National Historic Landmark and is marked with a bronze plaque at the edge of Cooper River Park.

Somewhat younger,
