Who am I really?

Posted on May 22, 2024 by Rod's World

Over my journey, I have tried several careers to increase my finances; unfortunately, I have only recently.

I discovered I lived on the premise that money is evil, which made it difficult to be serious about it.

I came up with three business ideas, all of which I am rather good at; the first was Rod has a way with Words:

This service provides words to help you with your branding and editing of words you have already written up to the level of editing books, of which I have done three

The second is Rod’s Rocking Research: I ask great questions on Google and can provide what you require 5 times faster than most other researchers.

My favourite and latest enterprise is called I Can Make You Grow. Back in the day, I did a leadership program at Landmark Education called Team < Management and Leadership.

Program. It was a twelve-month program in which you listened to TMLP Level 1 and then put in what you heard was missing for them to succeed with their projects. I was rather good at it.

I’m leaning towards I Can Make You Grow and am off to the Small Business Expo next week to get some ideas.

Here is some advice from Marc and Angel Chernoff to empower your day

Let go of the past.
Identify the lesson.
Lose the negative attitude.
Accept accountability for your current situation.
Focus on the things you can change.
Figure out what you really want.
Eliminate the non-essential.
Be very specific.
Concentrate on DOING instead of NOT DOING.
Create a daily routine.
Maintain self-control and work on it for real.
Forget about impressing people.

Lets seek out some I Can Make You Grow quotes:

Your new future if you hire me to listen to your plans.

They say you do not need to enter your coffin to be barely alive.

Here is a beautiful song about it: bit.ly/44Z5uBm

Well said, Mandy; get the fuck out of there via I Can Make You Grow.

Conformity is the work of the devil.

Try to do this every day.

I like the word Indomitable.

So, nothing is lost if you attempt to improve: bit.ly/3yuQMpp

I want to be Happy versus lets lead an authentic life

Posted on September 14, 2023 by Rod's World

A friendship that meant a lot to me ended when I recently received a voicemail stating that I did not make her feel happy when we were together. I have recently given up this low vibration way of life for one where people are authentic about where they are in their lives. I acknowledged that I was sad and advised the person that doing it via voice mail was as weak as opium. Eight hours later, she sent me another voicemail. I declined the offer

I want to be happy lives at the consciousness level of Life By Me. Where we struggle day to day to be something we are not, the personal development mantra of be happy and life will be wonderful, denies all the other emotions . I am realizing in conversations with more and more people that I no longer can live in this false universe versus one where people live a life of authenticity.

What do Marc and Angel have to say about this via one of their wonderful lists:

12 Lies to stop Telling Yourself:

I don’t have enough yet to be. happy.
My dreams are impossible.
I am stuck with people who hurt me.
My failed relationships were a waste of time.
Things will. never get better.
Failure is. bad.
Great things will come to me effortlessly.
My past is 100% indicative of my future.
I never need to meet anyone new.
I can’t live without those who are gone.
I’m not ready because I’m not good enough yet.
I have way too much to lose

We now move onto what society has said about being authentic over the years:

This is a life worth living.

Take the steps and have these things in your life.

You are the star in your own movie, no one leses.

Those of us who decide to do this are way way cool.

Cry Freedom.

To show up and be real, Yes Please.

Love is always the answer, Ragnar.

You are the George Lucas of your life, Make a great movie, you deserve it.

And who I am is authentic.

The cost of giving up your real life.

The desire to always be happy is a Personal. Development disease.

This is not an easy path to travel, be brave

Why I totally respect my new. mentor, Peter Sage.

How often in your life have you done these things and provided leadership?

So, my life is transforming as I hang around. I nearly died last week , when my brakes failed. My reaction was a thought, I nearly died, not a week long mental tirade about how it was unfair.

My purpose in life is to save the planet for my three year-old grand niece Tawera. I was at a documentary where the producers answered a Q and A. I asked a water biologist if Tawera had a chance of reaching 69, my current age. She also has two teenage children. Her answer, if we keep putting off what we need to do, probably not. but she had hope that the new generations were waking up and would do what it takes.

I have no idea how to do this. I live my life from my koan: Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, It’s our time. Do not think governments are going to do it, they survive to be in power.

Here is the playlist for your musical enjoyment: https://bit.ly/45OBCa9

To my readers in 160 countries, do yourself a favor and enroll in Unlimited Mindset’s 12 month training at PeterSage.com You can thank me at the stage when you understand what it is doing to your authenticity..

I miss you, Sage.

Death by a Thousand Cuts

Posted on September 2, 2023 by Rod's World

Can listening to your mentor speak for an hour change your life at 69 years of age.. You bet your sweet bippy it can.

The subject: The four levels of consciousness which I wrote about quite recently, but as. I enter their power further and further, my life looks and feels so different that I just had to share the journey with someone, so you, whoever reads this are the chosen. few..

The four levels are:

Life does it to me. AKA Victimhood
Life By Me: Hard Yakka and struggle, a life of boring certainty.
Life Through Me; nUncertainty, massive mistakes, remarkable results, worth waking up in the morning for.
Life As Me: Think MLK, Mother Teresa, Nelson Mandela, Barack Obama, something to aim for. you may be killed by the lower levels because you scare them so much.

Enoug said, give level three a try, it will interrupt your life so much in unexpected way. My fuse box blew up, We the flat occupants had to pay for the new fusebox after our electricity supplier turned the power off. We did it, they turned up 8. hours later at 11.15 pm to restore it, now thats uncertainty, big time. Lucky for Smart phone data and a moxy M1 Powerbook.Yew.

Time for a Marc and Angel list.:

Heres their 17 Deadliest decisions you can make:

Not Loving what is.
Waiting and Waiting and Waiting.
Changing who you are because others have changed.
Letting heartache define you.
Running away from problems.
Being ungrateful.
Allowiing long-term anger to occupy your heart.
Believing that beauty looks a certain way.
Letting your expectations run rampant.
Disrespecting others.
Disrespecting yourself
Putting up with unfaithful friends and lovers.
Rushing love.
Neglecting your most important relationships.
Trying to controlevery last detail about everything.
Never taking risks.
Giving up on you.

Peter, if you read this, I believe that you and Marc and Angel are meant to do good work together, their two books are manuals for life.

Onto the quotes and tracks:

God, She has a fine sense of humour.

We need more of these type of people in our life.

From one of the classic writers of the Twentieth Century.

Can Peters wonderful work cure this, I think so.

Thank goodness for that.

Uncertainy, one of our superpowers. Yew!!!

Want a secure life, do this.

The cost of certainty, an unfulfilled life.

Time to enter mystery school, didn’t they make a film about that.

Philosophy 191.

Boom, Boom, Boom, etc. etc.

The curly headed one, he changed the world.

Not sure if I agree with this, maybe my fellow USM students, but 90 percent of the planet, nada.

What a great songs Vincent. is, someone as beautiful as you gets me every time.

An hour of songs, Oops, well you will have a soundtrack for your morning exercise.

Back to why I do this. My vision: Save the planet for my three year old grand niece, Tawera. How? Love and respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, it’s up to us. Do I know how to do it, Fuck no, thats what uncertainty gives you..

Heres the playlist link: https://bit.ly/3L8mzjA

So off to the 160 countries that read my words of possibility, Thank you, it makes a difference.

Can I ever Trust Again?

Posted on August 8, 2023 by Rod's World

When did you first lose the trust that small children. have for their mothers? For some it may be wgen their parents divorced, a truly prevelant experience these days, or your Nonna and Poppa died, or a friend took their own life unexpectedly. i thought I had done enough “work” om this until my last relationship when bizarre sexual practices were part of the deal and it broke my trust of women.

We each have our version of it. I now think when there is an opportunity with a woman, what if I have to break my values again just for the realationship to continue. This makes me incredibly sad, a phycoligist friend of mine said I needed to do a course of therapy after I told her what Happened and what I had done because it was so outside normal values, especially mine of Love and Respect for All.

I have connected with someone I wouldlike to say to, You can trust nme totally But can I promise that, time will tell.

Marc and Angel have a list of things of 11 ways to become the personwe love:

Stop judging and appreciatebeauty within you.
Treat yourself the way you wanr others to treat you.
Care less about who you are to others.
Know your worth.
Son’t rush intinate relationships
Let go of those who are’nt really there.
Fotgive yourself and Othwrs.
Focus on the positive.
Believe in the person you are capable of being.
Work on goals you believe in.
Keep looking and moving straight forward.

Time for some quotes and tunes on Trusting each other.

What does it take to trust the netire universe, a noble task?

Thats why we are in each others life at the moment.

The universe was created to bless us and support us to have a wonderful life.

But the. universe requests that you put in some effoty to.

Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included : Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, It’s our time.

May you find your beautiful lan earlier than later.,

The universe knows that you need to be patient at certain times.

Don’t fight what the universe has planned for you, Its quite painful to do so.

Its such a perfect day, I’m glad I soent it with you.

Be careful of your thoughts, she is listening and will provide what you ask for.

She is more and more on mine, because I have been am being transformed by Peter Sage. PeterSage.com, check him out.

And I feel like letting go, what will turn up.

Enjoy your time on the unierse, the universe is not in a hurry, ehy are you?

The more you learn the art of surrender the faster tou will realise your dreams, It begins in the heart.

Back to the words. I wrote this blog after listening to a peter Sage workshop on creating yout reality. I have Peter to thank for transforming my thought patterns at the tender age of 69. Go to PeterSage.com and check out his wonderful life altering distinctions..

My koan for life is Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, It’s our time.

Thankyou to the readers who have read my blog in 160 countries around the world. We are transforming the possibility on the planet one read at a time.

Treaty Now, Treaty Now

Posted on July 30, 2023 by Rod's World

I yook part in a rematkable event yesterday. over 500 singers sang Yothu Yindi’s iconic anthem Treaty now in the CBD od Naarm/ Melbourne in Four fifferent locations, The Myer Music Bowl, The National Gallery of Victoria and we Flashmodded the major gathering space Fed Square.

Stever taverner and The Spooky Mens chorale , one Australia’s most popular choirs led us included it as part of their natioal tour to support the Yrs campaighn for the Voice recognition of First Nations people in out country. I was alive in 1967 when their status was changed from fauna to humman beings. Yes, we are a racist nation at heart, what other country would have a White Australia policy for 70 years

My friend Anfrew weote the best thing I have read on this. vindicitive campaign that is dividing our nation due to the efforts of the Murdoch Media scum. There it is:

4. It will be permanent, and future governments won’t be able to remove it.

5. Ensuring the Voice can speak to “executive government” means its central role is entrenched, regardless of future governments.

6. It will be gender equal and include youth members, meaning more voices from Indigenous communities will be heard.

7. It has been carefully devised and given the green light by legal experts.

8. Fixed terms mean representatives will always be accountable.

9. The Voice would be a good mechanism through which to negotiate Truth and Treaty processes with the Commonwealth.

10. Parliament, and by extension the Australian people, would still hold the ultimate say over what becomes law.

The ‘against’ campaign usually have one or more of these arguments:

1. It’s symbolic, and fixing systemic issues facing Indigenous communities would require a body with actual power.

2. Governments can ignore its advice if they don’t like it.

3. The Voice adds race to the constitution.

4. Because the Voice will be designed by parliament, future governments could change or sideline it.

5. Indigenous people already have a voice via an unprecedented level of Indigenous representation in parliament.

6. Truth and Treaty should come before the Voice.

It is important to also look at who is supporting which campaign:

Left leaning parties who have always done more for indigenous rights in Australia like Labour and Greens overwhelmingly are supportive of the Voice.

Right leaning parties who have a track record of not supporting indigenous rights in Australia like One Nation, Liberal and UAP are overwhelmingly against the Voice.

I have noticed that people who have a tendency towards believing in conspiracy theories and who have a general aversion to anything that the government does, tend to be against the Voice. These are the same people who would tend to be anti 5G, anti vax, anti UN, pro Trump and Qanon etc.

I hope that when people make their vote, they consider the actual question being proposed and have read the Uluru Statement from the Heart in full as that is where the Voice idea came from so provides the best context for who is asking for it and why they want it.

Referendum question and constitutional amendment

VOICE.GOV.AU

Referendum question and constitutional amendment

No list from Marc and Angel this week, sorry my friends

Here are the quotes and some different versions of Treaty Now, ours is being edited from yesterday still.

Australia will look like a nation odf dickheads worldwide if the vote loses as I fear it will.

Yes, yes, yes, yes, yes , etc. etc . etc.

Women and the youth of Australia will vote Yes in droves, they did not grow up in Racist Australia.

Some miighty woeds as ro why you should vote yes.

All you gubbas out there, this is what the voice is about a real say for our First Nations brothers and sisters.

Powerful words supporting the Yes Vote.

Even people with gray hair are saying Yes.

Love the colours in this one.

And our youth have a say.

Black and White, we all support it.

The colours of our land, the flag of the First Nations people of Australia, the land was never ceded.

This is the first blog I have written not wearing my glasses because of the miracle Costa Rican herbal cure, a bit irrelevent

The Uluru statement from the Heart, where this all began.

Yes we can do it.

Back to my words on Interculturalism, The Voice is definitely a part of that. Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; It’s up to us, Because we can, It’s our time.

To my readers in 160 countries world wide, this is a very important moment in the history of our country . We may grow into adulthood, or maybe recognised as dickheads worldwide.

Those are Mighty Words

Posted on July 24, 2023 by Rod's World

I post a lot on social media, especially on Booker Looker land AKA Facebook. Sometimes up to 50 posts a day. They are always from the land of empowerment and possibility. I believe we have a choice moment to moment to empower others or join the dangerous My Opinion is the Truth cult and take others down being righteous about a certain subject. One can make a profound difference the other engenders hatred towards another.

There are so many mighty words available, they have been being written from the advent of the written word, you just have to look for them. I love the fact we have access to them all via the great goddess known as Google. This is what took me to my business Rods Rocking Research and the fact that all you need to do is type in a few words and the metaverse provides you with millions of answers which has only been enhanced by the phenomenon know as AI.

My great skill is that I have the fastest hands in Australia on Google and the ability to ask great questions that cut through the dross and get me to where I need to go in an instant. Give me a request and I can find the solution almost instantly. Just don’t expect it to arrive beautifully laid out, that is not my thing, perhaps I need a VA or two.

How do my friends Marc and Angel Chernoff put it in one of their beautiful lists, lets go there:

15 Ways to Live, And not Merely Exist:

Appreciate the great people and Things in Your Life.
Ignore other people’s negativity.
Forgive those who have hurt you.
Be who you really are.
Ghoose to listen to your inner voice.
Embrace change and enjoy your life as it unfolds.
Choose your relationships wisely.
Recognize those who love you.
Love yourself too.
Do things your future self will thank you for.
Be thanks for all the troubles you don’t have.
Leave enough time for fun.
Enjoy the little things in life.
Acceot the fact that the past is not today.
Let go when you must.

So time for some of my favourite mighty words from the great wordsmiths over time ans some tunes to go with them:

There are special people in your life, they are your keepers, they may not fit your image of what they shoulld look and be like.

How great do you you dare to let your life to be, dream so big that you can never fulfil it.

How many of those negative thoughts you had actually happened, I guess not that many.

I forget who said it, but you do not die when they put you in the ground, it is when you stop learning.

Personal self responsibility, Life doing it for you, because you say so.

The world is waiting for your genius, why else do you think you were one of the lucky sperm who made it through.

Only you know this, stop looking for others to answer this question for you.

What we spend our entire life searching for, sadly some of us never experience it.

Its you who is the miracle in your life, look in the mirror daily to reminnd yourself.

There is no planet B, as there. is no plan B.

I love that Harvard study where the three percent who wrote down their goals made more than the other Ninety Seven percent during their l ives.

Loving and firm intent, such life transforming words, Thanks Peter.

The eternal question we get to answer moment to moment, what do you choose?

To the members of the ever dangerous My Opinion is the Truth cult, no it is not.

We are close to the end, Here is where I post my koan for Interculturalism so it pervades the 160 countries across the world who honour me by reading thi. Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included: Why; it’s up to us, Because we can, it’s our time.

The playlist, I saw Rising Appalachia live in Naarm/Melbourne, only because a dear friend shouted me a ticket into the festival they were playing out, humanity is so generous if you let them be, the art of receiving, give your damn pride up and miracles will occur.

Fingers crossed, here is the link: https://bit.ly/473a8yy

Thanks to those who will read this, I rather like it.

Will the Rainbow Children save the planet?

Posted on May 22, 2023 by Rod's World

I have done many things in my 68 years, one of them was hang around CERES environmental park in Naarm/Melbourne where I went from being the World’s Greatest Volunteer to a board member for 7 years after a very strange invitation by the team leaders one stormy winter night.

CERES is a 5 acre city farm that used to be the Brunswick tip. A group of hippies got together 40 years ago and put the idea to turn the tip into a farm. The only problem being they had energy but no money. Some liberated councillors at the time gave it to them for the acorn rent of $1 a year which it has remained at over the time, CERES is now a multi million dollar business.

Two of its features have been the Cafe and the playground where the rainbow people could bring their rainbow children and meet their Mothers Groups, on a Saturday 900 cups of coffee would be sold. I think it is up to the third generation of this happening. Mothers who were brought by their mothers are returning with their offspring.

I had not been for ages and went there to renew my membership last Saturday. I did not know The Olives to Oil festival was on. The local councils set up a drop off spot for your olives and you get them pressed into oil as a community service, I have never seen that many olives in one place in my life.

But back to the Rainbow kids. As always there was entertainment. I knew them Santirino is an traditional Italian band who also do the tarantella if the weather allows for it, unfortunately this was not the case on Saturday. Rosa sang beautifully, I. had forgotten how beautiful she is, so full of vitality and passion. My mate Phil was on accordion and flute, I have followed his different musical ensembles for over 40 years. This is one of the better ones.

At the end of their first set Rosa announced they had a special guest. A young teenager, at the most 12 or 13 approached the stage and did this amazing French number with so much confidence it belied her tender years. I overheard her mum say she could speak and sing in 6 languages. She was definitely one of CERES rainbow children.

It restored my faith that humanity does not have the people in our society that will save the planet, we have the rainbow children. The last generation have moved on and formed Extinction Rebellion across the planet. They know what it takes.

Some wise words from Marc and Angel Chernoff:

life is full of positive experiences. Notice them. Notice the sun warming your skin, the small child learning to walk, and the smiling faces around you. Smell the rain, and feel the wind. Live your life to the fullest potential by reveling in the beauty of these experiences, and letting them inspire you to be the most positive version of YOU.

What would happen if. you approached each day intentionally, with a positive attitude? What would happen if you you embraced life’s. challenges with a. smile on your face? What would happen if you surrounded yourself with people who made you better? What would happen if you paused long enough to appreciate it all?

Livong a positive life is all about creating positive habits to help you focus on what truly matters. This is the secret of super positive people . here are 9 simple ideas to help you follow in their footsteps:

Wake up every morning with the idea that something wonderful is possible today.
Celebrate your existence.
Appreciate life’s perfect moments.
Embrace life’s challenges.\
Live and breath the truth.
Fill your own bucket.
Become addicted to constant and never-ending self improvement.
Help the people around you smile.
Spend time with positive people.

Here is the link to the work of Marc and Angel: https://www.marcandangel.com/about/

Lets move on to the quotes and music:

One of the greatest philosophers of the last and this centuroes.

There are 7 billion I Am’s hanging out there on this planet. Enjoy each others company.

Or followers of Peter Sages mindset training.

What is your favourite colour of the rainbow?

Thats you Joan is talking about.

Some of my favourite song-lines.

Faith not organised patriarchal religion.

What connects you, do you have rainbow. children in your life?

I am feeling that through Peter’s I Am technology.

love You.

Is this in the Mastery stage, Peter?

I have seen a triple rainbow in my life, I felt extremely lucky, I did not find the pot of gold.

love native wisdom, it is so eternal.

Finally, rainbows are too remind you to stay strong.

Finally a gift from our country to yours, sing along people.

Back to me, I used to make my money from writing koans aka slogans, I only use two of them these days: Love and Respect for All, Everybody Included and its up to me, because we can, Its our time. We need Peters definition of wealth: An abundance of gratitude more and more these days. These blogs are for an abundance of possibility.

Until next time, my dear readers in 160 counties, thank you for your stand for possibility.

Don’t listen to GOOP!!!

Posted on May 8, 2023 by Rod's World

I have had an interesting year, Met a billionaire and multi millionaire. Dropped 20K I could not really afford, and been locked up as an involuntary patient in a mental health unit as consequences of the first two things for four weeks, Once in, it is not so easy to get out.

I , through these mistakes, learnt a lot, including the acronym GOOP, the Good Opinion of Other People and the deadly effect it has on you achieving your dreams. I thank Peter Sage, the creator of this distinction for altering how life occurs for me now.

I also am enquiring into two other distinctions,Your opinion is not the truth, Ever and Listen, you do not learn when you are speaking.. The opinion one was described to me in the following manner: Opinion lives on one side of the Universe and truth the other. our task, this time in , is to align them as closely as possible. Unfortunately most humans give up at a very early age on this quest, this is when cinversation dies. His Holiness I credit the third one to, one of my favourite wise men. Do you think he was on a camel that night in Bethlehem?

Time for a Marc and Angel list, this time it is called 20 ways to create million dollar ideas, here we go

Generate lots of ideas
Fail a Lot
Consume information Consciously
Focus on topics and ideas with large markets
Make sure there is money in your market
Keep your eyes, ears and mind wide open
Test variations of the same idea.
Figure out what works well in one market and tailor it for another.
Put the pieces together
Spin a new twist on a previous breakthrough
Systematise a popular service into a reproducale product.
Play with Opposites.
Look for problems and solve them.
Design other products that supportother successful products.
Keep it simple.
Use the tools and skills you already have.
Surround yourself with other thinkers.
Be enthusiastic about what you are doing.
Accept constructive criticism, but ignore naysayers
Actually do something with your ideas.

Do you do this, I’m not great at it, i am a “nice person”

The famous the five we spend time with covered here.

Spend your time with the one or two, I am very bad at this.

Most relationship advice is GOOP< you know that already.

oopers don’t like this behaviour, they think you are weak, we know better.

A POTUS.

How many in your circle, fuck them off.

I like these women, they rock.

The blame game sucks, big time.

Self explanatory!!!

What are you animal spirits, have you learnt the lesson?

hut the fuck up, get on with it.

Nike – Just Do It!!!

Edmund Hillary, I think. I’m showing. my age knowing hisname, forst non Sherpa to climb Everest.

All the songs are what came up when I put in my word is the truth songs, there are a lot out there.

Time for Rod’s Words. Interculturalism – Love and respect for All, Everybody Included. Why we do what we do: It’s up to us, because we can, it’s our time. I used to make a side hustle writing koans, these are my favourite two. Thanks Peter Sage for a new possibility at 68. I tell everybody.

Until we meet again, my Blog fans. in 160 countries.

Words aren’t Enough To Convey How Much I Miss You.

Fleassy has a spoken word performance Witches, Fleassy’s inspiring poem on women’s empowerment, reached 1,000,000 views in 3 days. It currently sits at over 2,600,000 views in less than one year: Witches.

Truth is Fleassy’s power used to scare the shit out of me, as when she performed she stood in her power, something I had sought for over 60 years and until this year, failed to achieve. Each week of the course I am falling more deeply in love with what gifts she has to offer the world. Each week we have a group Zoom call, this week it was on giving and receiving gifts. I belong to the tribe of the Givers and am incredibly naff at the latter. Each person shared their own version of how they perform them, each one was unique.

So I went in search of my quotes on the subject, not surprisingly there are thousands more on giving than there are on receiving. I think the ones I have chosen display this quite well, let’s begin the journey:

1. It doesn’t say you have to create a cycle of giving and receiving that never ends.

2. The red words are the important ones: The law of Giving and Receiving.

3. Self Care is always an essential part of the recipe though.

4. Dame Freya Madeline Stark DBE was an Anglo-Italian explorer and travel writer. She wrote more than two dozen books on her travels in the Middle East and Afghanistan as well as several autobiographical works and essays. She was one of the first non-Arabs to travel through the southern Arabian Desert. I imagine that she would have had to be a maven at receiving given the cultural conversations of the time in that part of the world: Sweet Child of Mine.

5. Love the name, Peace Pilgrim, and her ethos.

6. And yes, they rhyme: Treasure.

7. The names a little bit clouded, but what a beautiful quote.

8. This is exactly what we discussed today: Superwoman.

9. How good are you at actually asking for receiving help, let alone a gift?

10. From Little Things, big things grow: That magnificent song.

11. Yes, it can fulfil your dreams.

12. Bit obscure, but I love the colours: Singing In The Rain.

13. One of my top ten on the net, I have 5,000 groups, so that says something. if you don’t know him, Google time.

14. Loretta Young was an American actress. Starting as a child actress, she had a long and varied career in film from 1917 to 1953. She won the 1948 Academy Award for Best Actress for her role in the 1947 film The Farmer’s Daughter and received an Oscar nomination for her role in Come to the Stable in 1949. Young moved to the relatively new medium of television, where she had a dramatic anthology series, The Loretta Young Show, from 1953 to 1961. The series earned three Emmy Awards, and was re-run successfully on daytime TV and later in syndication. In the 1980s, Young returned to the small screen and won a Golden Globe for her role in Christmas Eve in 1986: Nobody’s Perfect.

15. The final lesson, there’s that asking word again. Go on, you can do it.

I’m sure as I go through the excellent material provided by Fleassy to transform my listening and ability in the arena of Public Speaking I will fall more deeply in love with what this course has to offer, by the way, it is online so any of you can sign up, we have a few Americans already.

How could I not start the playlist with Spoken Word, so Deepak Chopra leads off followed by The Gunners. Some pop from Bruno Mars and Alicia Keys fill the next two slots. My most ever chosen Playlist song is next, an Aussie classic by Paul Kelly and Missy Higgins. We finish with two uniquely diverse artists, Hollywoods Gene Kelly, and the pop world artificially created Hannah Montana: Words aren’t Enough to Convey How Much I Miss You

So to our beloved group of humans on the Rise journey, I wish you Love and Respect for All, Everyone Included. Until we meet again, my dear friends.
