1/11/2011... the start of something new.

Today I will open my brand new Journal book. Its pages are blank. i'm going to put words on them.  The book is called possibilities, and its first chapter is New Year's…  on 1/11/2011 

 

On the first line I will write

I was born a Champion and each day I'm finding the courage to seek out my big dreams, regardless of what anyone else says, or thinks.

 

Second line - This is one of my favorite quotes.

I am only one, but still I am one. I cannot do everything, but still I can do something,

and because I cannot do everything, I will not refuse to do something that I can do.

Helen Keller

 

Third line - 

"Instead of giving myself reasons why I can't, I give myself reasons why J Blind I can."   

 

Fourth line:

Thank You God for another day of life. I live to be a Passionaire.

Words from a Cancer  survivor

 

And the rest is still unwritten….

Holiday Greetings to You & Possibilities for the New Year from & J Blind I Can

 

Hey! Friends, First of all I just want to say Thanks a ton for clicking on the link and traveling over in cyber space to read my Bloggle post.  I welcome you  with my open virtual arms.

 

This is always a crazy time of year. Between decorating the house, shopping for gifts and attending holiday events, the month seems to fly by at warp speed. I'll be heading this year to Puerto Rico the Enchanted Island to spend the holidays with my family and also get together with my friends that I haven't seen for quite some time since last I went to visit  back in the 90's.

 

I particularly love this time of the year for several reasons.  People are decorating their homes, twinkle

Lights are starting to shine everywhere and everything is becoming very festive, around the island.  The other reason is that this Preemie baby yeah that's me after spending weeks in the hospital was born in December.    I was So blessed to be given the chance of life in this wonderful month where we reflect on the birth of Jesus, and his love for the world. I believe that my heart reflects that spirit of love that 's felt during the Holidays, but the difference with me is that I share it all through out the year.

 

I've decided for the coming year to step back and unplug myself from the Social Media circuit. I want to take the time to analyze my business model more in depth, and at the same time explore other opportunities that maybe easier for me to manage with my screen reader. Moreover, I'm also planning to outsource certain things of my business that I believe will help me tremendously since this past year the biggest obstacle for me has still been  the accessibility issues on the net and that has help me back from  really growing my business  online.

I have some big plans for 2011 with some major updates coming to Bloggle.

 

Well as for me I'm also going to embark on the journey of me, which I will focus on my body, mind, and spirit. I embrace change in my life, and for once and for all I will stand up and deal with the monster that I call fear which has been holding me back for some time now.  I must admit that I'm truly afraid to take the first steps, but all it takes is a CHOICE. Well I guess I'll never know if I don't take action and just do it!

 

I won't be making any New Years resolutions like most of the people will. For most Americans it will only be another year and another stack of resolutions down the proverbial drain. On the other hand, I've already begun my journey, and set short daily goals, and planned out the long term goals that God willing I would like to achieve. I intend to stay laser focused like an eagle because I have my hearts eyes on the prize.  I believe that I can. Just watch me! You'll see  that one day I will have my chance to shine.

 

My Quote "I am Disabled in the world, but I'm able in the spirit"

 

Stay tuned :) So have no fear my Bloggle readers, J Blind I Can will be back next year.

 

"Good, better, best. Never let it rest. Until your good is better and your better is best" Tim Duncan 

 

All the best to         you and your family...wishing you peace and love, happiness

and prosperity in 2011.

 

 

'Till next time I Bloggle

Fall in love with autumn

Bloggle wants to Spread the spirit of  this wonderful season with you.

The heaps of Autumn leaves and the riot of colors all around whisper that one thing-it's

 Fall once again.

 

It's a September of splender.  We're already feeling fall's cool breeze and I'm loving it! 

To celebrate the official day of the Fall season I would like to share this great recipe with you.

 

Apple season is here once again. 

 Many are ready to bake their delicious famous Apple Pie, or others just like to toss slices of Apples in a raw Salad.  As for me I love to make fresh Apple sauce.  Suprisingly, I came across this great recipe with a totally new twist that's bubbly.

 

Here we go.  This recipe is called "The cinnamon-kissed Sparkling Apples cocktail".

Serves 4

3 c. cored, chopped apples with peels

2 c. apple juice

1 Tbs. sugar

Champagne or Prosecco

1 Granny Smith apple with peel, cut into 1/4" dice

Ground cinnamon

In a small saucepan over medium-high heat, bring first three ingredients to a boil.

Lower heat to medium and simmer until reduced by half, 15 to 20 minutes. Strain and

refrigerate until cold.

Pour 4 oz. Champagne or Prosecco into a Champagne flute;  top with 2 oz. strained

Juice.  Drop in 1 Tbs. diced Granny Smith apples and sprinkle with a pinch of cinnamon.  

 

Now you can enjoy this delicious Fruity Fall Cocktail to bring in the new season.

 

So how to you like them apples?

Fall again.

 

Autumn

When the trees their summer splendor

Change to raiment red and gold,

When the summer moon turns mellow,

And the nights are getting cold;

When the squirrels hide their acorns,

And the woodchucks disappear;

Then we know that it is autumn,

Loveliest season of the year.

Getting off the stress express. too many dream busters inside!

J Blind I Can here with another post from Bloggle.me  

My Affirmation for today .

"Our greatest glory is not in never failing, but in rising up every time we fail."

-Ralph Waldo Emerson

 

 

 " Let Me Listen To Me and Not To Them."

Gertrude Stein

Here's my question. What does today's quote mean to you?

I don't know about you, but I can so relate to this quote

I remember that I once heard an interview with the great motivator Les Brown on PBS where he was explaining that there will always be   those naysayers that have a hidden ajenda to get your off track from reaching your life goals.

 

I call these kinds of people dream busters.   They are the ones to always try to bring you down, who don't support or understand you or the things your do to better yourself in life.

Do you know someone that fits this description?

 

I try to stay away from people that have this distructive way of thinking because I know that it will surround me with negative energy.  I've noticed that when I have my guard down I feel that my stress levels elevate and all the negative words that were said to me just totally drain me out, and I'm no longer focused.  What's so sad, and  at the same time very hard to believe is that these people that are so negative can be your very own family and friends. 

 

Even though they have little faith in the things that I do and in the business that I'm trying to build I will continue to believe in myself to be the best that I can be.  It doesn't matter anymore what others say because I know without doubt that what I want to achieve in my life with God's blessing one day will happen.  I am letting my actions and success speak for itself.

 

So today I will throw out the doubt and fears, will keep taking action and keep moving forward

I'm in the pursuit of my own happiness.  Working hard each day to create my own lifestyle freedom.

 

I'm driven ... Working hard to make it happen.  Nobody is taking this from me.

do all my shopping online! Not only am I shopping from the comforts of my own home,

online! All this, and cash back for all my purchases? It's a win/win situation

for me."

Michael Jackson in our hearts forever

Oh! my gosh! Can you believe that today June 25 already marks the one-year anniversary of the shocking death of the King of Pop, Michael Jackson?   This is sure to be an emotional day for all his Fans around the world.  Still cant believe we have lost him.

 

I sang with him.

I danced with him.

I laughed with him.

I was inspired by him.

Today i will celebrate him.

 

I can remember that I was on Twitter when I first found out the sad news of Michael Jackson's death.  Suddenly my Twitter client just stopped working.  Twitter was over capacity with all the Michael Jackson news coming in so I quickly ran to turn on the radio and yes it was true.  All the news outlets and music stations were talking about the passing of Michael Jackson.  The news of his death really hit me hard.  I was in total shock and I know that the world was also stunned to know that the legendary Michael Jackson was no longer with us.

 

Jackson died a year ago at age 50, on the eve of a comeback tour, this Friday, June 25.  All over the world, fans will be commemorating his death and remembering his brilliant

life.  Several cities worldwide will be participating in an Internet-spawned movement,

www.mjworldcry.com.  Tomorrow many radio stations around the country will be Michael Jackson day, and they will only be playing songs from the late King of Pop.

 

You can Honor Michael's Memory by Leaving your tribute for MJ here on this site, www.ThankYouMJ.com.  You never know  it just might be read live on the air.  Rock out to all of Michael Jackson greatest tunes listening to these other stations that will be also paying tribute to the King of Pop.

 

* WBLS 107.5 FM): Musical features all weekend and comments from celebrities and friends.

* WCBS 101.1 FM: Listener-voted countdown of top 40 Michael songs, tomorrow at 9 am.  Plus Jackson songs all weekend in "Hall of Fame."

* WHTZ 100.3 FM:  A Jackson song every hour tomorrow.

* WKTU 103.5 FM: "MJ All Day," 24 hours tomorrow, followed by Jackson music and specials

* WKXW 101.5 FM:  Tribute with Joe Henry, tomorrow at 7 p.m., leading to a Jackson weekend.

*WRKS 98.7 FM:  Kicks off all-Jackson weekend tomorrow at 6 AM, with the D.L. Hughley Morning Show.

*WXRK 92.3 FM:  Jackson in a 5 pm mini mix tomorrow.

*Sirius/XM:  Hourly Jackson songs tomorrow over "80s on 8," "70s on 7" and other channels.

 

How will you be celebrating Michael Jackson's memory tomorrow?    Share your plans with us in the comments below.  Many news reports say that Michaels fans around the world will paint  murals, purchase his video game,or dress up and dance to his music busting  a move doing the Moonwalk.

 

Tomorrow I'll be remembering Michael Jackson by Twittering all of his Youtube videos every hour.  You can follow me on www.twitter.com/blindican

  Then later on I will be going with my friends to several events that are happening around the Harlem area this weekend.  I also have plans to watch the documentary movie called This Is It!  This Documentary was about all the rehearsals for what was going to be a record-breaking string of concerts, a combination comeback/farewell tour at the age of 50, but It was a tour he never got to begin.  He left behind tapes of run-throughs, tech rehearsals and full-on performances.  None knowing what was about to happen) it somehow became a movie, and a bitter sweet memorial, too!

 

Here's the list of Michael Jackson tribute programs to air on TV, radio on one-year anniversary  

http://j.mp/bVZG3r

 

There will NEVER be another person like him.  The world has lost its greatest treasure! To me MJ was an inspiration for all, great entertainer, and a remarkable human being.  He was one of a kind.  I will always remember the man that changed the world with his gift of music.

 

Michael Jackson (RIP)
