Well-Being is Lined Up Outside YOUR Door

This morning during my morning ritual of inspirational reading, journaling and caffinating, I read "Well-being is lined up outside your door" in Ask and It is Given by Esther and Jerry Hicks.

What struck me as a home-based woman entrepreneur, is how much help and support for our success is available to us in every moment. AND chances are, exactly what you need to grow and expand is OUTSIDE your door.

I reflected on how true this has been in my life this week. On Monday evening, my gal pal Jodi invited me to an Arbonne event www.QueenGina.MyArbonne.com, where I met so many healthy, motivated, financially successful women.

As we were leaving the event, she keenly noticed some brochures left on a table about a local success coach. Jodi handed one to me, and the next morning I was having a fabulous conversation with Michelle Paquette www.AllWaysConsult.com, who then turned me on to, www.AnEmpoweredWoman.com. I immediately contacted Pam, who generously shared with me what an incredible group it really is! They meet at a country club in the Los Angeles area and truly support the business growth of its members (and have lots of other cool events too).

Well, all of this was so much fun and I was clearly in the groove, so since I've been meaning to contact www.EWomenNetwork.com FOREVER (because I hear so many women rave about it), I decided to phone them and that same day I got an almost immediate phone call from my local chapter representative. women who work from home, at first can love the "freedom" of having the home office and getting their "job" done in lounge wear. However, if they're not careful, isolation can quickly set in. And what was once the once "grand idea" of being free, all of the sudden can switch to confinement.

Here Are 7 Ways You Can Improve Your personal & Financial Well-Being:

1. stay connected to your desire and have a clear picture in mind of exactly what you want to create. (Vision boards are great reminders of all of what you love. Also, posting sticky notes around your pad help to frequently have you focus on your goal).

2. Especially if you're a home-based woman entrepreneur, GET ON THE OTHER SIDE OF YOUR DOOR! Some great women's groups that I know of include: *Arbonne international (AWESOME beauty products AND business opportunities!!!) www.QueenGina.MyArbonne.com *E-women Network www.EWomenNetwork.com *Wild Women Entrepreneurs www.TheWildWE.com *www.AnEmpoweredWoman.com (Los Angeles Area) National Association of women Business Owners www.nawbo.com *Queen Esther's Royal Strategies for Success, How to Create YOUR At-Home online Empire

Plus find additional local networking groups in your area! And if you would like to turn me on to others, email me at Gina@EstherExperience.com

Here are a few of my favorite workout dvd's: www.SlimIn6.com Hip Hop Abs http://www.beachbody.com/jump.jsp?itemType=GATEWAY&itemID=239

7. Be your own best friend. Remember to take time for yourself, be with yourself and affirm all that you do and all of who you already are. You're likely to be quick with a compliment for someone else. This week make sure to spend time with you and to truly be your own best friend.

Know that all of what you desire for your life is possible and attainable. Use these 7 tips to really show up in a big way this week. Let yourself get out of your comfort zone and go discover what is on the OTHER side of your door!

How To Configure Wireless Internet Access For Your Laptop

Here's what you need to know (and do) to connect your laptop to a wireless network and get Internet access.

First off, let's talk common sense. Before you access any wireless network, especially one in a public place, you must have anti-virus software installed and up-to-date on your laptop. Your laptop should also be current with all Windows operating system Updates.

That said, the next thing you need is to have a laptop with wireless networking capabilities. If youre not sure whether yours does, do the following to check it out:

  1. Click on Start | connect To | Show all connections, or
  2. Click on Start | Settings | (Control Panel) | Network Connections

  3. Under "lan or High-Speed Internet" you should see a wireless connection icon. (If not, see below about installing a wireless network card).

    Assuming you have wireless capabilities, continue on doing the following:

  4. right-click on the wireless connection icon.

  5. In the pop-up menu, select "View Available wireless Networks."

  6. In the "wireless networking Connection" window, click on the appropriate wireless network.

  7. Check the box that says "Allow me to connect to the selected wireless network."

  8. An icon in the lower right hand corner of your desktop should eventually appear stating that you are connected.

  9. Open your browser and visit any website you want. If authentication is required on the wireless network, you will be redirected automatically to a login page where you'll have to log in using an approved Network User Name/ID and the correct password.

That's all it takes.

Note: If your laptop does not already have built-in wireless networking, you will need to purchase and install, or have installed, a wireless networking card. There are many brands of wireless networking cards. just make sure you buy a card that is 802.11b or 802.11g compatible. linksys cards are an excellent choice and I recommend them highly. If you choose another brand, be certain that the card is WiFi Certified. (For a list of 802.11b and 802.11g certified cards, please visit the WiFi alliance website.)

An Unthought About Decision

most of the time we barely think about what the true consequences of a bad decision can be, and on those occasions when we do think about the consequences, we usually end up lying to ourselves. We find some way to justify what were doing and make it seem not as bad as it really is. I use to think like this until I experienced the consequences of a truly bad decision. let me explain; I heard that some people were going to be drinking at the school football game and thought itd be fun to be wasted at the game. I drove to the school around the time we agreed to meet up to start drinking. We all sat in my parents car in the school parking lot drinking out of the bottle getting drunk. I didnt think about how I was going to get home, I couldnt drive home being as intoxicated as I was, but I figured Id worry about getting home later.

We walked into the football game and I dont remember much after that. about 20 minutes into the game I blacked out and when I became conscious again I was in a hospital bed with my mom at the side. I didnt remember how I got to the hospital or anything. The next morning I was faced with many questions, most of them having to do with why I drank, how I was going to get home, what could I of been thinking making a decision like that? I really didnt have answers for these questions, because theyre all pretty much based on why I didnt make a better decision. I didnt think about what would happen if I got caught, how it would affect my life, what consequences there would be.

There were many consequences I had to face from my bad decision, but the worst ones to me were losing the trust of my parents, getting my license taken away, I have to pay an over two thousand dollar hospital bill, and my grades in school dramatically slipped. I now find myself thinking on a more than weekly basis why didnt I think the decision through? How could I have made such a bad decision?

The next time youre going to make a bad decision thatll have negative consequences, take a minute to actually think about what the possible consequences will be if you get caught or something goes wrong, and how they will affect your life. Then make your decision.

Paintball Guns

paintball guns, also called paintball markers, are used to mark an opposite player with paint in a paintball game. paintball guns were once used by forestry groups and farmers to mark trees and cattle. The origin of paintball guns can be traced back to 1981. The first paintball gun, invented by James C. Hal, was commonly used by the forestry industry and not for a paintball game. Later, the first gun specially intended for playing paintball was invented by Robert G. Shepherd in 1985.

paintball guns are meant to move the paintball at a high rate of speed. They use compressed gas to shoot the paintball. The velocity required to force the ball from the barrel is nearly 300 ft/s (100 m/s). Usually, the compressed gases used in the paintball guns are carbon dixide, nitrogen or ordinary air. It is stored in tanks that are attached to the gun.

Modern paintball guns have four major components. These include body, tank, hoppers, and barrel. Body is one of the major components used in the paintball guns. It includes four diffent types of paintball marker firing systems. These include electro-pneumatic firing system, mechanical firing system, pump, and electo-mechanical guns. Hoppers, often called as loaders, are used to hold paintballs. Tanks are used to store the compressed gas in order to accelerate the paintballs which is attached to paintball gun. Barrels used for paintball guns come in a variety of shapes, sizes, and materials.

Pump-action, Semi-automatic and stockguns are some of the important paintball gun types. Stockguns use markers which require a low rate of ammunition capacity and fire. Stock class guns are also called pump action paintball guns. These guns or markers are powered by 12 gram cabondioxide cartridges and have small carbondioxide tanks. All guns maintain the international speed limit of 300 fps and the range is 50 yards.

Nowadays, a wide range of paintball guns in different designs are offered for sale in the market at affordable prices.
