Hard Scrabble Life

~* A Hard Scrabble Life *~

Seven little wooden tiles
hold promise and frustration
lay jumbled in a tiny trough
awaiting your inspiration.

A couple hundred squares
upon which they could rest
and cast their vexing spells
of lexical incantation.

Lucky tiles doubled or tripled
singularly or aggregately
find their true valuation
only through multiplication.

Hard Scrabble Life While it’s a game of X’s and O’s
you must mind your P’s and Q’s
RSVP your opponent’s ABC’s
maintain vigil so not to lose EZ.

Shelter from the Storm

I came in from the wilderness a creature void of form
“Come in” she said
“I’ll give you shelter from the storm”

Bob Dylan – “Shelter From The Storm”

Beliefs DETERMINE Our Results!

Leadership Without Being in Charge

Beliefs reside in our conscious mind and in our subconscious. Holding beliefs that are incompatible is cognitive dissonance and everyone who looks has work to do on themselves or it is done to you.

Self-limiting beliefs that we are unaware of run us producing results determined by the belief and we then justify with our story of reality. When aware of them you have a choice to ignore, to stop being aware or take a new approach. Removing them may take a lifetime or some, once you learn how to ‘weed’ your mind, may disappear permanently.

One of my favorite stories is in Matthew and Mark where Jesus walks up to a fig tree expecting it to have figs out of season. The fig tree said no and it had a great excuse too. However, the Creator of the Universe asked for something He clearly had given the fig tree…

Limp Alley adds new virtual currency called “V” … (yawn)

Posted on October 28, 2013 by mrbill01

So Dupped-Us (aka virtual ceo of Limp Alley) has posted Empire Avenue Introduces V! which is a real yawner of a blog post.

LimpAlley's new virtual currency ... it's virtually worthless! The original “virtual currency” of LimpAlley – the “eave” or “e” – has been so devalued that Dupped-Us had to dream up another one — the “V” … which will soon be as worthless as the “e”.

LimpAlley’s new virtual currency … it’s virtually worthless!!!

We all know these symbols – $ € £ ¥ – to have or denote value of some meaningful sort, and even the new ₹ (Rupee) is worth a little something, but LimpAlley better hope their new V thingie does NOT get confused with the Vanuatu vatu, ‘cuz that thing ain’t worth much at all … that’s just my 2¢!!!
