I have never done any acting before so it’s a challenge, but I am always up for a good challenge. I urge you to do the same. Challenge yourself to do something you have never done before or think that you can’t do. You might be surprised at the outcome. I never thought I could become a comedian, but not only did I become one, I was one of the top 100 club comics in the country in the 80’s & 90’s. I never thought I could be a professional speaker, but I challenged it and I am doing it. I never thought I could be an author, but now I have two books out. Challenging yourself to go beyond your boundaries is good for you.   Remember that. The following is an interesting exercise.... You answer a few questions regarding your world and nation opinions then click the "find your candidate button" and the program calculates the candidate who's position on the issues is most like your own...

They had earlier fled their home in England and sailed to Holland (The Netherlands) to escape religious persecution. There, they enjoyed more religious tolerance, but they eventually became disenchanted with the Dutch way of life, thinking it ungodly. Seeking a better life, the Separatists negotiated with a London stock company to finance a pilgrimage to America. Most of those making the trip aboard the Mayflower were non-Separatists, but were hired to protect the company's interests. Only about one-third of the original colonists were Separatists.

Many of the cast members of the movie The Secret have been on The Oprah Winfrey Show, Larry King Live, and Ellen. But what is it really?

It can be broadly classified under the mind-body medicine. More and more doctors are prescribing meditation as a way to lower blood pressure, improve exercise performance in people with angina, help people with asthma breathe easier, relieve insomnia and generally relax the everyday stresses of life. Meditation is a safe and simple way to balance a person's physical, emotional, and mental states. It is simple; but can benefit everybody.

Rinse and wash turkey. Discard the giblets, or add to pan if they are anyone's favorites. Place turkey in a Dutch oven or roasting pan. Separate the skin over the breast to make little pockets. Put 3 tablespoons of the butter on both sides between the skin and breast meat. This makes for very juicy breast meat. In a medium bowl, combine the water with the bouillon. Sprinkle in the parsley and minced onion. Pour over the top of the turkey. Sprinkle seasoning salt over the turkey. Cover with foil, and bake in the preheated oven 3 1/2 to 4 hours, until the internal temperature of the turkey reaches 180 degrees F (80 degrees C). For the last 45 minutes or so, remove the foil so the turkey will brown nicely. Native American Wisdom Honor the sacred. Honor the Earth, our Mother. Honor the Elders. Honor all with whom we share the Earth:- Four-leggeds, two-leggeds, winged ones, Swimmers, crawlers, plant and rock people. Walk in balance and beauty. - Native American Elder Humor You Can Use Everyday I can’t believe the price of turkeys this year. Looks like the supermarkets have got us by the giblets. I can’t afford a turkey so I just stuffed the canary. The boss is giving us the holidays off with pay. We get the day off, he gets paid. My boss is so mean when he dies they’ll have cheerleaders at his funeral. My house is in such bad shape, last night I heard the termites laughing at it. _________________________________________________ For storytelling workshops and seminars for your school or library, call the WorldWideBC offices at 336-597-5310. ___________________________________________________ Visit B.C.’s Blog at http://worldwidebc.blogspot.com/ and find out what’s going on with his two sons.
