Podcasts are popular with those who enjoy communicating with others. I have found myself visiting these sites and listening to some interesting conversation about a wide variety of topics. If you enjoy speaking to others or have thoughts on a show idea, why not create your own podcast? It's simple. Here are a few resources to help you get started. Best wishes!

Kill Boredom
When I get weary of visiting the same websites and doing the same things online, I always go back to my projects. Times of boredom actually inspire me to do what I like the most which is writing.
Years ago, I created a site for people, like myself, who sometimes find certain activities on the Internet redundant and quite boring. I listed various tips on dealing with boredom from boring people to being bored while unemployed and what to do about it. When you have a moment, please do visit: Bored Looking for Things to Do. Feel free to comment on some of the material there. I hope the thoughts/ideas will kill your boredom!
Thanks in advance for your support.

My Thoughts on Love this Valentine's Day
I thought of my book, "Laboring to Love Myself" and how appropriate to call attention to it to those who are starved of love this Valentine's Day. Why does one feel so overwhelmed with just living?
For I have learned, that one is void of love. No love coming and no love going. Repeated rejection over one's years produces no love for self or others. "What do I care? I care about no one? No one cares about me..." says the loveless.
No action produces no reaction. If I show no love to others it isn't any wonder that I have not love. If my love is not received, then it is my responsibility to find someone or group who will sincerely love me. I hope that this Valentines Day you will reflect on what it truly means to love beyond a simple token of appreciation.

Trials are Breeding Grounds for Elevating One's Self Spiritually
Before you pity someone who appears to be going through much trial, consider thinking about what you can learn through someone else's storm.
When one is under pressure, sometimes the mind is clouded with much confusion and chaos, but other times ideas come--many ideas that seem promising especially when money is an issue.
I have learned that blessings are readily available to us when we are willing to give of ourselves without expecting reimbursement. What might one give to a business, a school, an organization, church, and other places that might increase traffic, revenue, better programs, and more without dropping a single dollar in the lap of yet another someone who just might be looking for a little more than that? An idea that not only helps what is on the surface, but renews what is deep within.
With many trials over my years, I have recognized that although mind and body were at times weakened, spirituality stayed strong. It propelled me to think higher, to take the distractions of trial off myself, and look beyond my circumstances.
I am grateful for the relatives, individuals, and businesses who have encouraged me to stick some things out when I was very much ready to say, "Goodbye." I know that an Almighty God moves in His time and not our own. Will there be loses on life's journey even with an Awesome God standing in front of us? Of course, because God is only going to give us what he knows we can handle be it right or wrong from a societal point of view. Not every relationship is a blessed one, not every child is destined for greatness, not every location is a good place to live, not every job is a good one...God knows what is best--that is if we are willing to seek a Higher Power to help us!
As I viewed the many homeless people who lay on the streets of downtown Los Angeles and under bridges along the freeways, I heard in the spirit, "Many of the poor had quit life just before they received their blessings." They experience life curses due to things like: rejection, fear, illegal activities, and more. God had at one time sent messengers to his children along the way to help, but to no avail.
I recall those who were once homeless give testimonies at churches I had attended. They used their trials as opportunities to build their faith. These people are inspirations because they show all what God can do when a person has nothing, yet still has the willingness to want something out of life no matter what the issues.
Take a moment to invite the Holy Ghost power of Jesus Christ into your life then watch what happens!

3 Places on the Web for Videos/Audio I Like...Howcast, YouTube, Blog Talk Radio
When talking with people about a wide variety of subjects, I find myself referring them to the following websites including my own blogs and videos. You might find these useful depending on your needs.
1. Howcast - great place to learn how to do things visually. Very professional videos and easy to understand. Each video tells you what you need in advance.
2. YouTube - in addition to silly entertainment, they have good audiobooks and documentaries that the public has uploaded including my very own life experience channel: nmenterprise7
3. Blog Talk Radio - insightful podcasts, music programs. Here are a couple by friends of mine, one about marriage and the other with gospel music and interviews.

On the Move Again...
Time to re-locate! Preparing to move again across America to sunny So-Cal. As always, keep me in prayer those of you who know me. I am very happy with our family's latest decision. Here we go!
Check out past photos of our So-Cal experiences. Walking and riding around Los Angeles County and yes, we saw a deer near a busy neighborhood with little undisturbed land, that's why it was so surprising!

The Work has Begun on Yet Another Site...
I didn't anticipate recording audio and video related to my spiritual experiences, the Bible, and societal observations of the saved and unsaved for literally years now. But after being around sincere believers in Christ for a time while visiting loved ones in Pittsburgh back in 2009, I felt spiritually charged and I haven't come down, I seem to be elevating for every trial I go through both on and offline.
What is it about a faith that makes one feel like he or she is on top of the world one minute and down in the mirk and mire the next? How does a belief in a Creator you can't relate to, like human beings, make you want to do some things differently in your life? I needed a place to lay my thoughts down like one lays his or head. Sometimes audio and video just can't capture those little things that hit home. There is work in reading--the kind of work that auditory and visual learners need in order to come up higher in their personal walks with Jesus.
So I am working on a project that shares thoughts about walking with the world renowned Holy One that many confuse with the god of this world, Satan/Lucifer, so I've heard in the spiritual realm. In the future, I will share the link on this site God willing. But for now, sisters and brothers who are strong in your faith and participating in similar Kingdom business, be in prayer for my family and I.
God bless.
