Upon a recent search I found out that kryptonite, the fictional mineral from the Superman comic series, comes in many forms. Since I am not a comic book reader or an avid fan, I had no idea of this as I have only enjoyed watching the blockbuster movies with Christopher Reeves in the past and can remember only the green mineral version which weakens Superman’s power and Lex Luthor would try to use against him in order gain power over Superman. I am intrigued that there are various forms of kryptonite and their various effects can be quite different… (continue reading to see where this goes; it’s a little different than my normal posts)
Wonder Woman, Superman, and Kryptonite

Written by smiles on October 8th, 2009“Leave Only Your Footprints” is an anti-litter campaign slogan I remember from my childhood… (continued)
…Lead by example in your community, teach our youth (and the elders that never learned!) to show some respect for all communities and the planet where we all live.
Site Navigation
Written by smiles on September 5th, 2009As my list of links I have continued to add in the sidebar grew, it was becoming longer and longer to get to the bottom of pages. I’ve just completed a little rearrangement that I hope will be more user-friendly and to give some better attention to the people I support.
From now on in the Navigation area to the right, you will find category pages that begin under Recommended – Blogs, Business, Creativity, Internet Tools, Music, Personal Development, Philanthropy, and Shopping. Each of these pages now have the links that were previously in the sidebar with a brief description of the site, possibly my relationship to the website owner, and sometimes a coupon code offering discounts or my referral.
I’ll continue to add on to these pages with more links, perhaps even add a new category page, and insert related items that are relavent to the page featured. I hope this change simplifies things and allows you to discover something of value that you may have missed in previous visits. If you have any other web-design related suggestions that you think would be helpful, please feel free leave a comment with your suggestion. I may not use all ideas on this site but I do appreciate the feedback and your ideas could also be helpful to someone else who has or is building their own website or blog.
Sonia’s Mission to Help Teenagers Rise Above
Written by smiles on August 20th, 2009Sonia is a friend that I met a few months ago at the Next Level seminar I took in Las Vegas (see previous posts Life and Death and The Road Less Traveled) has had quite a turning point in her life. When I met her, she was a single mom in California and a high school Math teacher without any real clear direction that I could see, except she wanted to do something to make her life more fulfilling for her and her young son. Since that event she has taken a couple of more courses and the change that I am seeing in her life (in less than 3 months since we met) is that she is now living a life with definite purpose and incredible energy to create the life she wants. I would like to share with you a letter I recently received from her sent to our group of attendees from the Next Level.
“Hey Guys!
I miss you all so much. I can’t tell you the great impact your love and friendship has made on my life. I am creating amazing results! Our experience together was definitely a turning point and catalyst for the wonderful things I am creating!
As you know or may remember, I am a High School Math teacher and my dream and passion is…” (continued)
RSS Feeds & Subscriptions to Websites
Written by smiles on July 20th, 2009…I have finally started paying attention to the RSS and subscribe buttons that I see so often on other webpages. I’ve discovered that when I click on them and enter my email address, Wholla! I get the lastest posts delivered directly to my email. (Continued)

The Road Less Traveled
Written by smiles on July 16th, 2009…I started off by flying across country into San Diego, CA and renting a Jeep. I’m a Jeep girl, love adventure, and couldn’t see myself driving around in anything else, especially for what I had planned on this trip. I then drove about an hour East into the mountains… (continued)
Women’s Prosperity Network
Written by smiles on July 12th, 2009Recently I joined a group of women who are determined to make a difference in their lives and of those around them. One of their mantras that I have heard and appreciate at the meetings that I have attended is that “as one woman reaches success at the top we should reach down and give a hand to help the next one up.” This is the mentality that is right in line with the teachings of Napoleon Hill about mastermind alliances.

Soul Searching
Written by smiles on July 4th, 2009In this final discussion about, “What is painful in your life?” I would like to share about Spiritual Pain. No one gave a response about this kind of pain either and I know that exists for so many people. If it didn’t exist, there wouldn’t be wars over religion and people that “lose their faith”. How else can you define an atheist or agnostic? Aren’t they defined as someone that denies or questions the existence of God or the Creator and that the knowledge of the unknown is limited? Doesn’t that belief hurt? (Continued)
How much is this going to cost me?
Written by smiles on July 3rd, 2009Financial Pain – so many of us feel it and no one really wants to talk about it. It’s all you hear or read about sometimes in the media – “The New Economy” and “These Tough Economic Times”. No one brought this up in response to my question, “What is painful in your life?” I know that many of you have this as a silent answer that pains you in your life and wallets. It’s something that I have felt the majority of my life too. (Continued)
