Have you voted yet today? Here’s your reminder. 
I have asked my Facebook friends one single question that has gotten me curious about the power of Facebook and Twitter.
Just about everything boils down to numbers in politics right? Well, where do Twitter followers and Facebook likes fall into that?
Here was my question: Will the candidates with the most Twitter followers and Facebook page likes win this election?
(If so, could that even predict how the next presidential election goes???)
Last week I skimmed a post on ChrisBrogan.com called: 106 Excuses That Prevent You From Ever Becoming Great.
Seasoned typically Brogan-style with some wit and wry humor it listed normal excuses that get a solo-entrepreneur’s way of delving into or staying on track with modern business strategies like blogging and social media marketing. See if these excuses sound familiar:
“You don’t know where to begin.”
“Someone else is already doing it.”
“You’re afraid of what your costumers will think.”
How often do you think twice or even three times before sharing that link on your Facebook page or posting that professionally questionable blog post or tweeting that controversial but 100% true tweet? I do it, and we should do think twice. However, it’s not such a bad think to save the time and take a leap just to keep the conversations going.
“Your best ideas escape you.” – You simply can’t let this happen.
“You can’t commit to a schedule/calendar etc.”
“You’re too tired.” – Oh dear. Aren’t we all?
And then you scroll down to the bottom of his post to presumably number 106 and it says:
“You don’t have time.”
Seriously? You just read (or at least scrolled through) 106 excuses, 106 debunks and nearly 7,000 words. You have time.”
Sometimes, we just have to see excuses for what they are… Reasons for us to not be or do as great as we can.
If you would like to read the 99 other reasons why you aren’t but should be great

Quote mentioned by the Huffington Post article about Steve Jobs Death on October 5, 2011 It’s worth reposting.
Back in 2005, Jobs revealed some of his thoughts on death in a heartfelt commencement address at Stanford University, telling students:
“Remembering that you are going to die is the best way I know to avoid the trap of thinking you have something to lose.”
- Steve Jobs
From the diary of a Pre-School Teacher: My five-year old students are learning to read. Yesterday one of them pointed at a picture in a zoo book and said,
“Look at this! It’s a frickin’ elephant!”
I took a deep breath, then asked…
“What did you call it?”
“It’s a frickin’ elephant! It says so on the picture!”
And so it does…
Hooked on phonics! Ain’t it wonderful?
Now that’s funny, I don’t care who you are..
This was forwarded to me as is except I bolded the main sections. I know I don’t usually post religious content, but I don’t think that there is anything wrong with doing so.
—– A friend sent this to me. It’s been said that God first separated the salt water from the fresh, made dry land, planted a garden, made animals and fish… all before making a human. He made and provided what we’d need before we were born. These are best & more powerful when eaten raw.
We’re such slow learners…
God left us a great clue as to what foods help what part of our body!
God’s Pharmacy! Amazing!
A sliced Carrot looks like the human eye. The pupil, iris and radiating lines look just like the human eye… and YES, science now shows carrots greatly enhance blood flow to and function of the eyes.
A Tomato has four chambers and is red. The heart has four chambers and is red. All of the research shows tomatoes are loaded with lycopine and are indeed pure heart and blood food.
Grapes hang in a cluster that has the shape of the heart. Each grape looks like a blood cell and all of the research today shows grapes are also profound heart and blood vitalizing food.
A Walnut looks like a little brain, a left and right hemisphere, upper cerebrums and lower cerebellums. Even the wrinkles or folds on the nut are just like the neo-cortex. We now know walnuts help develop more than three (3) dozen neuron-transmitters for brain function.
Kidney Beans actually heal and help maintain kidney function and yes, they look exactly like the human kidneys.
Celery, Bok Choy, Rhubarb and many more look just like bones. These foods specifically target bone strength. Bones are 23% sodium and these foods are 23% sodium. If you don’t have enough sodium in your diet, the body pulls it from the bones, thus making them weak. These foods replenish the skeletal needs of the body.
Avocados, Eggplant and Pears target the health and function of the womb and cervix of the female – they look just like these organs. Today’s research shows that when a woman eats one avocado a week, it balances hormones, sheds unwanted birth weight, and prevents cervical cancers. And how profound is this? It takes exactly nine (9) months to grow an avocado from blossom to ripened fruit. There are over 14,000 photolytic chemical constituents of nutrition in each on e of these foods (modern science has only studied and named about 141 of them).
Figs are full of seeds and hang in twos when they grow. Figs increase the mobility of male sperm and increase the numbers of Sperm as well to overcome male sterility.
Sweet Potatoes look like the pancreas and actually balance the glycemic index of diabetics.
Olives assist the health and function of the ovaries.
Oranges, Grapefruits, and other Citrus fruits look just like the mammary glands of the female and actually assist the health of the breasts and the movement of lymph in and out of the breasts.
Onions look like the body’s cells. Today’s research shows onions help clear waste materials from all of the body cells. They even produce tears which wash the epithelial layers of the eyes. A working companion, Garlic, also helps eliminate waste materials and dangerous free radicals from the body.
