All of the financial news is really of concern. I think I just need to stop reading the WSJ because it is so depressing I am afriad it will change my positive thinking.
If you have not checked out Dani Johnson yet you should. She has quite a following for anything from sales training to debt reduction. I went to her conference this weekend and it was really insiteful and amazing to see all the people she has helped.
As I get older there are very few things that amaze me. I see or hear things now and just shake my head because it is just so crazy. One thing I still find hard to believe though is how crazy parents get about youth sports. People act like these children are paid professionals. They over work them, yell at them and feel they have the right to yell at the other team to "get in their heads". I have heard parents belittle a player on the other team and say things you should never even say to a grown adult you are in a fight with. It is really sad and disgusting.
Everyone hits a point in their lives when they need to take a look at who is around them and why. If you stop and look you will probably find that you have many people around you that do nothing but bring negative energy to you. You will have people that you are "friends" with just because you have history but you have nothing in common with them now. Take a "friend" inventory and see who really is a positive force in your life.
Well Casey Anthony has been found innocent. I really want to believe in our justice system and I am always hoping it will get things right. Clearly, if this woman did not kill her child she knows who did. I am a mother and I can not even imagine that if my child was missing would I be out partying and not looking for him/her. The entire thing is disgusting. The public outrage is amazing. Ms Anthony is not going to be able to walk out of her house without being subjected to mass torture of some kind. Deserved or not?
What in the world do we do with the Post Office. They are losing money right and left, they employ so many people and their retirement system is now in jeopardy. They need to make serious changes and quickly or they will be the next government backed business on the chopping block.
Arizona has decided not to extend jobless benefits. This is very controversial. I know many companies hiring right now that are having a hard time filling positions or keeping employees. They are beginning level jobs that will pay more than the $240 they get from unemployment. Its not fancy work but at least its a job and they are back in the work force and doing something productive. I have heard people say that jobs are beneth them so they will keep their unemployment as long as possible. I guess I just don't get why you would not want to at least get back out in the work force and start making connections to do bigger and better things. It will not be great for everyone but stopping the extended benefits may make people take those jobs and start doing something in life again.
