Something to think about

 

Since time is the one immaterial object which we cannot influence, neither speed up nor slow down, add to nor diminish it is an imponderably 

valuable gift.

Vision Boards Do Work

       Do you have recipes and coupons posted on your refrigerator door?  Your door is a vision board.  These seemingly random notes, and reminders point to simple changes or upgrades that you want to make in your life; trying a new menu or saving money-for what?

       To most people a vision board is a group of pictures of cars, homes, vacations and money that you think you want in your life; this is a vision board, a very vanilla one; it doesn't reflect how you feel about these things and how they would change your life.

       Vision boards can also be made up of words, phrases or sentences, with or without pictures that acknowledge your intentions.  They remind you of your core values, your fantasy life, your goals, and your dreams. My favorite quote; "the world is so full of a number of things that I'm sure we should all  be a happy as Kings" (RLS) has always painted a picture in my mind of how I would like to see the World, full of happiness, love and peace.

       More important than the pictures of the new house, is the feeling that you expect you will have if you live in that house.  The pictures of shoes and jewelry are reminders of where you imagine you would wear them, and the lifestyle that goes with images. 

      Vision Boards really do work.  Having images planted in your subconscious mind will lead you to making choices that can turn your visions into reality.  The process is unconscious; it works in the background to lead you in directions that can make your dreams come true.

Your Money - Your Life 

Report to the Credit Bureau     

       The worst part of having your wallet stolen, besides losing personal mementos, is dealing with the crisis of credit fraud.  It is critical that as soon as you are aware of the loss you contact the three credit reporting agencies.  You can place a fraud alert on your accounts so that anyone trying to get credit using your information is blocked.  You should also alert the Social Security Administration.

       If you are lucky you will get calls from companies that have be contacted by the thief to open accounts, but this is not universal. Because so much of today's transactions are done by computers, these inquiries can easily slip through the cracks.

The numbers you need to send these alerts are:

 Equifax  888-766-0008  

 Experian    888-397-3742

Transunion   800-680-7289        

 Social Security Administration  800-269-0271
