betterdays @BetterDays4Me (3777) • Philippines 15 May 12

I have heard about the law of attraction a lot of times even when I was young. Recently I even saw a youtube video about it with a movie title "The Secret" which became very popular and they talk about the power of the "law of...

JodeneB I believe in the law of attraction. Success breeds success, likes attract like. Just like when you smile at a passing stranger, they will probably smile back, then pass that smile onto another person. I know from personal experience, that if I am positive,...

I have recently discovered Greek style yogurt. Now, there are several brands but the two that I have found to be the best are the Greek Gods brand and Zoi. These have become my decadence without guilt. I mean, like, anything that...

JodeneB I love yogurt! But, I haven't rally had the greek yogurt yet. I have seen that Rachel Ray uses it in a lot of her recipes. My mother got turned on to it too. She eats it everyday for lunch with nuts or fruit. She loves the Chobani brand the best. (I've seen it...

All that glitters is not gold

dragon54u @dragon54u (31636) • United States 17 Nov 11

But this glitter is even better! Attached is a photo I just took that does not do justice to the beauty outside my window. At this time of year I look out and marvel at the golden leaves that are still clinging to the tree. The...

JodeneB I definitely look for the beauty everyday! You kind of have to, or else you'll get tired & depressed....at least I would. I realized that I am happier when I get to get out & get into nature. Sometimes, I will just "BE" with it. Listen to the birds, watch the...

How Do You Curb The Halloween Candy (Dun dun DUN!)

talfonso @talfonso (246) • United States 30 Oct 11

Halloween = candy. That's what a lot of foodies, most of whom are struggling with the weight, are thinking. That's right - most of us still go trick-or-treating, others don't. But either way, there's bound to be bowls upon...

JodeneB Your way sounds pretty effective...like it would get your mind off the urge & distracted to something else! As for me......I love candy. So far, I am good about just having 1. I put it way back in the cupboard, making it hard to get to. And, it helps to remind...

Can anyone identify with some of the characters of the show "The Office?"

MrsBone344 @MrsBone344 (48) • United States 16 Nov 11

The Office is one of my favorite tv shows and it makes me wonder, can anyone identify with the characters of the show? Or knowing anyone who are just like some of these characters? For example, you have Dwight Schrute who does...

JodeneB Definitely an awesome show! i luv it too! Funny you should use the word incompetent. My first reaction to your question is my supervisor having similarities with Michael Scott! My boss isn't as bad as he is, but a lot of times he'll say or do something and...

JodeneB good for you! These days, employers don't seem to care about their employees very much. We get treated like slaves, not human beings. I think you did the right thing! You need to take care of you & your family 1st & foremost, not the people @ subway who don't...

Life Without the Microwave

JodeneB Good for you! I had heard something about changing the molecular structure of the food. I do have a microwave, but don't use it very often. The reason for that is that I don't eat all that frozen pre-made junk at the stores. Those frozen meals are so full of...

Success? Principles? Which one do you think is of greater importance?

aquacan @aquacan (216) • China 21 Oct 11

Suppose that you have struggled for many years to achieve success but still get nothing . Just at that time, there are two roads in front of you. One of them is a shortcut and you know it can lead you to success very soon. But...

JodeneB That is a very good question! Although, I would love to say success, I would definitely chose Principles!!!! I could not live with myself, if I took shortcuts and went against my beliefs. I think I could (eventually) gain achieve success by being honest & true...

Recently I've become involved with a small local nonprofit that hands out free warm clothes, shoes, boots, jkts, personal hygiene items, blankets, etc to the homeless and the needy in a urban downtown setting. I love it. It has...

JodeneB that would be a great thing for you to do! I have never had a clothing drive, but I donate clothing & other items to the good will every few months. There are a lot of homeless people in my area & especially the way the economy is going, more people need to...

overpaid

leinrix @leinrix (490) • Philippines 6 Oct 11

do you think jhonny depp really mean what he says when he said he was being overpaid to star at the pirates of the caribbean where he earned $300 million?

2 responses

JodeneB He probably did mean it! (I would definitely agree) Obviously he is one of the best actors out there, & deserves millions, but 300 is a bit much! I would think he meant it because he has stated that he doesn't even live in the U.S. (I think because of the way...
