As you know, I’m an eco-guy and own a company called UrbanScooters.com. Well, I’ve been trying to convince some of our manufacturer’s to produce a more eco-friendly stand-up gas scooter and Go-Ped has stepped up to the challenge. I’d like to throw as much support behind this really cool, propane powered, clean burning, green scooter called the ..Go-Ped Pro-Ped as I can.
If this scooter is successfully launched, they will manufacturer more! Please tell everyone you know about it. If you have any questions, just ask. Check out info and a video about the Go-Ped Pro-Ped!
My Dear Friend, Vernon We must love our self before we can love others~ I CAN is 100 times more important than IQ~ My simple presence can make others happy~ Sing as if no one is listening~ Love as if you have never been hurt~ Dance as if no one is watching~ To love myself is the beginning of a life-long romance~ I am filled with light, love and peace~ I treat myself with kindness and respect~ I give myself permission to shine~ I honor the best parts of myself and share them with others~ Today I give myself permission to be greater than my fears~ I love myself just the way I am~ I love and forgive myself for any past mistakes~ Today I am willing to fail in order to succeed~ Practice Daily Thoughts Of Gratitude~ I go to sleep counting my Blessings Love and Blessings Donna
Dear Friend MUSIC THE CELEBRATION OF LIFE! ENCHANTING MEDICINE FOR THE SOUL! Music has been my playmate, my lover, and my crying towel. ~Buffy Sainte-Marie If in the after life there is not music, we will have to import it. ~Doménico Cieri Estrada Music is the mediator between the spiritual and the sensual life. ~Ludwig van Beethoven Music expresses that which cannot be said and on which it is impossible to be silent. ~Victor Hugo When words leave off, music begins. ~Heinrich Heine Music is the shorthand of emotion. ~Leo Tolstoy Music produces a kind of pleasure which human nature cannot do without. ~Confucius Music is moonlight in the gloomy night of life. ~Jean Paul Richter Love and Blessings Donna
Did you know that November 13th is World Kindness Day? While it's sad that we need a day set aside to be kind to people, I'm viewing this as an opportunity to start something that won't end when the sun goes down, but will continue throughout the year and onward.
If you're at a loss of what you can do to celebrate this day, you can go here and get some ideas:
I've learned that we don't have to change friends if we understand that friends change. I've learned that no matter how good a friend is, they're going to hurt you every once in a while and you must forgive them for that. I've learned that true friendship continues to grow, even over the longest distance. The same goes for true love. I've learned that you can do something in an instant that will give you heartache for life. I've learned that you should always leave loved ones with loving words. It may be the last time you see them. I've learned that you can keep going long after you can't. I've learned that we are responsible for what we do, no matter how we feel. I've learned that either you control your attitude or it controls you. I've learned that regardless of how hot and steamy a relationship is at first, the passion fades and there had better be something else to take its place. I've learned that heroes are the people who do what has to be done when it needs to be done, regardless of the consequences. . I've learned that it isn't always enough to be forgiven by others. Sometimes you have to learn to forgive yourself. I've learned that no matter how bad your heart is broken the world doesn't stop for your grief. I've learned that our background and circumstances may have influenced who we are, but we are responsible for who we become. I've learned that the people you care about most in life are sometimes taken from you too soon Love and Blessings--Donna
