Where
Do I Find the Time?
Here's the skinny
on gearing UP your business: "Being too busy to
come to grips with time management is like putting off getting
your roof repaired because it is the rainy season."
We have designed
the programme for women in business who are really really busy
- with their businesses, families, volunteer commitments - you
name it! We recognize too, that there's a difference
between being "busy" and being
"productive". During our research, we found
that 100% of current Accelerator participants are feeling LESS
STRESS because of the program.
Ask about how we
can help YOU gear UP!

=============================================== PARO's Accelerator
project has been supported with a grant from the Canadian Women's
Foundation Economic Development Collaborative Fund, a partnership of
the Canadian Women's Foundation, CIBC, The George Cedric Metcalf
Charitable Foundation, The Ontario Trillium Foundation and an
Anonymous donor. 
Very
interesting concept (albeit very sad for the frog).
How often do people get into situations, whether it be related
to daily routines, work, relationship, commitments, or personal
crisis, knowing that it isn’t the healthiest situation or
environment to be in, but stay anyway?
Not realizing that by staying the temperature slowly rises by
means of ongoing stress, unhappiness and/or emotional/psychological
pressure? I
wonder how many of us are like that frog, killing ourselves slowly
without realizing it? I
do realize, and acknowledge, that life can be extremely complicated,
but I also believe that the greatest power and natural gift humans
have access to is the power
of choice. Choices
are made based solely on our awareness, perceptions and life
experiences up until the point of choice.
Until we become exposed to new awareness, perceptions or
experiences our choices will never be any different (which, I must
add, is why it is crucial that you do not beat yourself up over the
choices you have made in the past…you know different now, so of
course you would make a different choice). Inspired
Living is about living consciously, always self-reflecting and
choosing to transform through learning and continuous development.
Inspired Living will mean different things to different people.
Ultimately, it is about choice followed by inspired action to
create a life and environment that inspires you, the people around
you, and the world.
Choose
to avoid the boiled frog syndrome for yourself, and by doing so
inspire others to do the same! Submitted

Safety is #1
It's natural to be upset immediately after impact, but take a moment to collect and calm yourself, and to assess whether or not you've sustained any injuries. When you step out of the vehicle, step out onto the curbside, and stay protected from other traffic. Exchange accident information away from the vehicles, taking care not to place yourselves between or in front of the vehicles. 2. Exchange information (Keep a pen and notepad in your glove compartment) It's important for both parties to exchange detailed information c even if the damage appears minimal - in a calm and non-confrontational manner: • names, addresses, and phone number (home, work, cell) of both drivers • insurance policy numbers and their expiry dates • ask to see a driver's license, as proof of identification (note birth date) • note the make/model/serial number of the other vehicle (colour, year) 3. Note the surrounding and circumstances of the accident The more information the better. Chances are you're dealing with another upright citizen, but protect yourself, just in case. Take note of how many people are in the other vehicle and a rough idea of what they look like. A rash of recent fraudulent insurance scams lately has people claiming for "injuries" sustained in accidents they weren't even involved in!

A Seed of Source... Snacking on protein-rich sunflower seeds may help lower your blood pressure. Recent
research shows that a diet with ample amounts of vegetable protein, such
as the protein found in sunflower seeds, may help keep blood pressure
down. A diet high in animal protein offered no such benefit in the study.
Stock up on sunflower seeds, cashews, and kidney beans to get your fill of
blood pressure-lowering veggie protein. Source: www.realage.com

ever give up on a dream due to the amount of time it will take to
achieve it. The time will pass anyway." ~*~*~*~*~*~*~* POSITIVE QUOTE : "Human intellect is a divine lamp, and its light penetrates to the depth of things." DAILY MOTIVATION : Tips for Dining Out I
do not know about you, but sometimes I get tired of
my own cooking, or there is a special occasion and I find
myself eating out. Or, maybe because of work, we must eat out
often. The
terms to avoid are a'la king, au gratin, basted, breaded,
buttered, broasted, creamed, fricasseed or fried. Here is to slimming down and feeling great! source: Irby Stewart Have an groovy weekend!!
