Unless you've been living under a rock, you know that the way you conduct your internet business, more specifically your marketing, is about to change.

When we give ourselves the loving we need (and it takes so little time when we actually do it!), our time with others tends to be joyful, graceful, playful, touching - in each moment complete.

Did you know that Albert Einstein could not speak until he was four years old and did not read until he was seven? His parents and teachers wor­ried about his mental ability.

Beethoven's music teacher said about him, "As a composer he is hopeless." What if young Ludwig be­lieved it?

Loving starts with the individual. When we want loving from someone else to "make us whole," we know we are not giving ourselves the loving we need.

The very purpose of existence is to reconcile the glowing opinion we hold of ourselves with the apalling things that other people think about us.

As the hectic pace this season brings starts slowing down and returns to normal, there are a few things to consider about your online business. Are you being as productive as you could be? Was this past year as successful as it could have been? If not, are you ready to implement the changes necessary to make it happen?

Our loving is a work in progress. We are continuously refining it, honing it, adding to it, shaping it. This is what we think we are doing. We also know love is continuously refining, honing, adding to and shaping us.

Loving is an action. Love is a feeling. The difference between love and loving, is the difference between fish and fishing. I like loving -- the moving, growing, changing, active, dynamic interplay (inner play?) between self and others, and between self and self.

Today we woke up to one of those wonderful, magical days where the trees were covered in hoar frost. In a moment of reflection, I realized just how truly fortunate we are. We have a beautiful fire in the fireplace keeping us warm, the bills are paid, we have plenty of food on hand and will be spending time with our family and friends over the holiday season.



I've been very fortunate. I've met some wonderful people in my time online. People willing to offer guidance and assistance when it's needed. People willing to share their skills and resources. As terrific as it is to have all these new contacts, it becomes difficult to thank them all - especially at this time of year when we typically show our appreciation. To all my readers, subscribers, new friends, fellow publishers - thank you so much, for being you.

The great thing about an Internet business is that we can reach out to people from all over the world - people of different faiths, different beliefs. In the spirit of the holiday season, I wish you all a joyous and Merry Christmas. Be happy, be well and be safe. Here's to a prosperous year in 2004.

Now that December 21st is behind us (the shortest day of the year), each coming day will bring a little more sunshine and light our way. Now that is good news. We are also having wonderful weather over the holidays and up here in Manitoba, Canada - that's an extra blessing.

One insight gleaned during a few minutes of meditation might save hours, perhaps days of unnecessary work. That's what we mean when we say -- from a purely practical point of view -- meditation can make more time than it takes.

A Christmas Thought was shared by a friend. I love the spirit of Christmas - getting together with family and friends and spending quality time together. Sadly, the commercialism of this seasonal festivity tends to over-run the good intent, the spirituality, if you will. I hope A Christmas Thought will put things back into perspective. Happy holidays to all.

"Do you receive lots of junk email messages from people you don't know? It's no surprise if you do. As more people use email, marketers are increasingly using email messages to pitch their products and services. Some consumers find unsolicited commercial email - also known as "spam" - annoying and time consuming; others have lost money to bogus offers that arrived in their email in-box."

"Although the number of companies advertising online — and the number of consumers shopping online — are soaring, fraud and deception may dampen consumer confidence in the e-marketplace. But cyberspace is not without boundaries, and fraud and deception are unlawful no matter what the medium." The complete Overview by the FTC can be found here:

Last week I walked into our local post office to send some Christmas cards and pick up my mail. I dropped the cards on the counter for the postmaster and proceeded to my mailbox while thinking through all the things I had to do that day. When I looked up, the postmaster was smiling and told me how much I owed him. I had forgotten to put stamps on the cards.
