30 Days Challenge

 Hey hello Co Creators

Magic Monday: And the Challenge is?  Top Ten Goal Sticks in the Sand

Stop for a moment and ponder.

“How will I know what my Top Ten Goals are, if I don’t know what they are?”

~donna lingard

Create your Creative Light. This week as usual, I’ve been hangin out at one of my favourite places, the beach, only this time I was eating icecreme on a stick. While I was relaxing and enjoying the scene, I had a creative idea. Recycle the paddle pop sticks, collect a few shells, some of the beautiful white sand, add them together and this is what I came up with. It’s kind of a take on the old saying “mark your peg in the sand”. 

 My version:… Tadar!!!

This was fun and easy. I cleaned, dried and painted each of the paddle pop sticks. Wrote my Top Ten goals on each stick, just in thin black permanent pen. I did ten, plus my motto, “Simply Successful in 2010″, on the back of each one, but hey, you could have as many as you wanted. This is another exciting creative way to display your goals. Enjoy the challenge…

Ok now, go for a walk on the beach if you can, eat some icecremes. Exercising and eating yummy food, all the while, creating and attracting all your dreams and goals for Twenty Ten & beyond.

 Remember you can do as much or as little as you like. It is all about simple creative successes. Having some fun and Ticking off your goals list and celebrating those dreams and goals throughout the year. Being Creative.

My Motto for 2010 “Let’s make Twenty Ten Simply Successful”

See you on Wisdom Wednesday:

Yours in Creativity

A Microsoft Christmas Eve

‘Twas the night before Christmas, when all through the house
Not a creature was stirring, except Papa’s mouse.
The computer was humming, the icons were hopping,
As Papa did last minute Internet shopping.

The stockings were hung by the modem with care
In hope that St. Nicholas would bring new software.
The children were nestled all snug in their beds,
While visions of computer games danced in their heads.

PageMaker for Billy, and Quicken for Dan,
And Carmen Sandiego for Pamela Ann.
The letters to Santa had been sent out by Mom,
To santaclaus@toyshop.northpole.com

Which has now been re-routed to Washington State
Because Santa’s workshop has been bought by Bill Gates.
All the elves and reindeer have had to skedaddle
To flashy new quarters in suburban Seattle.

After centuries of a life that was simple and spare,
St. Nicholas is suddenly a new billionaire,
With a shiny red Porsche in the place of his sleigh,
And a house on Lake Washington that’s just down the way

From where Bill has his mansion. The old fellow preens
In black Gucci boots and red Calvin Klein jeans.
The elves have stock options and desks with a view,
Where they write computer code for Johnny and Sue. 

No more dolls or tin soldiers or little toy drums
Will be under the tree, only compact disk ROMS
With the Microsoft label. So spin up your drive,
From now on Christmas runs only on Win95.

More rapid than eagles the competitors came,
And Bill whistled, and shouted, and called them by name.
“Now, ADOBE! Now, CLARIS! Now, INTUIT! too,
Now, APPLE! and NETSCAPE! you are all of you through,

It is Microsoft’s SANTA that the kids can’t resist,
It’s the ultimate software with a traditional twist
Recommended by no less than the jolly old elf,
And on the package, a picture of Santa himself.

Get ‘em young, keep ‘em long, is Microsoft’s scheme,
And a merger with Santa is a marketer’s dream.
To the top of the NASDAQ! to the top of the Dow!
Now dash away! dash away! dash away – wow!”

And Mama in her ‘kerchief and I in my cap,
Had just settled down for a long winter’s nap,
When out on the lawn there arose such a clatter,
The whir and the hum of our satellite platter,

As it turned toward that new Christmas star in the sky,
The SANTALITE owned by the Microsoft guy.
As I sprang from my bed and was turning around,
My computer turned on with a Jingle-Bells sound.

And there on the screen was a smiling Bill Gates
Next to jolly old Santa, two arm-in-arm mates.
And I heard them exclaim in a voice so bright,
Have a Microsoft Christmas, and to all a good night

Merry Christmas to all, Get a great sleep tonite,

Tommorrow is Christmas woohoo alright!!

Hi Challengers,

My 30 Days of Christmas Posting is nearing it’s end. We are only 4 sleeps away from the big day now. wooohooooooo excited…

My family and my 2 sisters families, will be joining many other spirited christmas revellers at  a sunshine coast local waterfront resort for xmas lunch this year. Wow what a kool idea that was.

Although it makes this time of year much less hectic as we are not racing around food shopping, planning and deciding who will sleep where. It is kind of a letdown really, as the buildup to christmas is much more relaxed. Oh I think I can handle that.

So what will you be doing to celebrate christmas this year?

Bye for now…
