Howdy Folks and Good Day!
An amazing thing has happened through the nine years Sir Froggie’s Positive
News Network has been in existence… our newsletter, authors and readers have
all continued to grow! This growth has
been in every area from finances to fitness, perspective and attitude to
spirituality and everything in between.
One of the things that has helped me to grow personally is being connected to a higher consciousness. Sometimes that consciousness is a direct link to God and my angels. Sometimes it’s through the form of conversations with others. And more often than not, it is sparked from books and classes I’m taking. There have been so many resources that have helped me along the way, and I try to pass that knowledge and those resources along to you.
Sometimes it’s a little more challenging than others. I’m doing my best NOT to advertise in SFPNN while still trying to share good news about products, businesses, classes, services and other resources that are helpful. It’s a delicate balance.
We all know spiritual growth isn’t about buying the latest stuff. It’s about going within and going with a power greater than ourselves. Yet there are many tools that can help us recognize what that Universal Source is and bring us to a place where we are more consciously aware of our connection.
In the past several years, I’ve been given many ideas for merchandise we could offer to SFPNN’s readers. In all honesty I have not pursued these ideas even though I know they could be helpful. There are multiple reasons (cough, cough, or maybe excuses) why I haven’t yet… For starters, I really have been busy building my skills and knowledge and keeping SFPNN going in addition to creating a healing business, working on my education and maintaining my relationship with Mark. New products require a good bit of time, effort and money, things I’ve been utilizing elsewhere. And I wasn’t sure if you would be interested or actually buy them. I’m also not fond of marketing. And last but not least, I have so many freakin’ ideas I didn’t know where to start! J
Yet as time passes, these ideas are getting louder and clearer and I know they are meant to be brought to life! Some of them are easier to implement than others. No matter which one I begin with, it’s not going to happen over night. But I can at least get started. That’s where I need your help!
I’d like to know which of the following you would be interested in purchasing IF they were available. I’m not taking orders right now, nor am I asking for a commitment. I’m just doing some research and I would love for you to hit the reply button to let me know which of the following items you would consider getting for yourself or as a gift to others. Also, if there’s something you’ve been looking for or hoping to find that is NOT listed, please let me know what it is!
In addition, please let me know if you’d be more interested in SFPNN, Sir Froggie, or Angel items, or just general spiritually or positively themed things.
So here are some of the possibilities of future merchandise…

So there you have it folks. These are
all ideas that have been floating around in mine and Mark’s minds for a couple
of years now, some of them since SFPNN’s creation.
Which of the above would peak your interest? Which do you think you’d consider purchasing? What price range would you like to keep your purchases in? Is there anything specific (item, design, theme, etc.) you really, really want? Do you have any other comments or feedback?
Also, if we do make these items available, how would you like us to market them to you? On the website? At the end of the newsletter? At the beginning of each issue? Any other suggestions?
I really, really do NOT want SFPNN to be about advertising. Our Positive News Network is a gift to you meant to lift you up, inspire you and hopefully help you feel better about yourself, reach toward your dreams and grow a little in the process. You don’t need to buy anything to do that!
We’re doing the best we can to deliver our e-zine without any kind of charge to you and the above products are some of the many possibilities. I’m open to hearing more.
So please take just a moment to hit the reply button and send a quick note with your personal preferences. Again, there is NO commitment required as none of these products have made it past the idea stage YET. J We’re just trying to figure out where to start, and if to begin at all.
Thanks for your help! And thanks for continuing to make SFPNN one of the best places on the web!
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

Have you ever had one of
those experiences that left you in awe, made your heart take notice, or

In
1993, I had come to terms with the destruction of Hurricane Andrew (it had
caused me a lot of personal problems) and I had returned to
On
August 25, I received a phone call at Instituto
Cultural (this is a language school where I do volunteer work). The news hit me so hard. I was told that my
mother had died suddenly. The shock was terrible, and made even worse with the
thought that I wanted to be with her so much. I of course made reservations on
the next flight. I could get a late evening flight out of
I
found a sort of platform to sit on, as there are no comfortable places on the
ground floor of the
I
know I must have looked a fright - grief does that - and I just wanted to be
there (at home with my family). Suddenly, I heard a loud commotion - it sounded
like a large group of people having a wonderful time - and I was a little
apprehensive at what could be happening. I looked down the almost empty
concourse and saw a group of people coming my way. It was made up of various
ages and both sexes - starting with a chubby little girl of about 8 years, up
through a woman who appeared to be close to my own age. The floors of the
airport had just been cleaned and waxed and the young ones in this group were
having a great time pulling each other along, and slipping and sliding. Lots of
laughter, and I knew somehow that it was one of the wonderful extended families
so common in
They
spotted me, and came up to where I was sitting, with my feet propped up on my
suitcase (full of way too much since I didn't know what I'd be needing) and
they surrounded me and started bombarding me with the usual questions aimed at
foreigners…
Do
you speak Spanish? Where are you from? Where are you going? Etc.,
etc. Well, of course I wasn't really up to conversation in Spanish, or
in English for that matter, but I tried to be polite and answer them. Then they
started telling me why they were at the airport in the middle of the night. A
close relative had died suddenly and they were meeting members of the family
from a distant country because the funeral was the next day. Well, I was a bit
taken aback at their merriment (I understand more now) and I didn't tell them
my own reason for traveling alone at such a late hour. They talked with me for
about 1/2 hour and then it was time for them to meet their relatives, so they
gave me abrazos (hugs) and besitos
(kisses) and scurried off down the airport walkway.
Suddenly,
the little 8-year-old girl broke from the group and returned to where I was
sitting. She pulled a silver chain with a religious medal from her neck and put
it my hand. Then she hugged me and said I needed it more than she did - and
then she was gone!
I
looked at the medal and it was an oval of silver with the Madonna and Child in
bas-relief. I was so touched at the obvious perception of this young child that
when I was with my sister at the funeral home the next day, I asked if the
medal could be pinned to my mother's clothing, and it was.
I
thought about the kindness that had prompted this action and felt so much
better about my own sadness.
You can imagine my surprise when the Mass cards were
handed out at the service and the cover was the identical Madonna and Child
portrait. I still feel sad when I think I wasn't near when my mother passed on,
but I am also grateful that she didn't suffer a long illness, or extreme pain
for any length of time. And when I think of that close family, and their
reaction to the same sort of tragedy, I realize that we never really lose
anyone we love.

God Given Daisies — by
Still A Dreamer of Impossible Things...
For the past few weeks
I have been tossing and turning with an idea of where to move a museum. No easy
task. It seems nothing I take on is really easy.
Do you find yourself
taking on the impossible? I certainly do!
Is it that we are
"Super Achievers" or is it that we are being pushed by a higher
authority to achieve higher things?
Sunday I went to
dinner with a friend. We have been friends for over thirty years. On the way back from dinner, I told her that
I wanted to drive her to a park to see what she thought of a project I was
working on.
As I drove into the
park, I explained what I was dreaming about and what I had to do to accomplish
these dreams. Believing
that "Thoughts Are Things," I laid out my thoughts to her.
She got it
instantly! And…
She caught the fever
of dreaming the improbable... and believing that "With God, nothing is
impossible."
"Believe and you
will receive."
"Act as if it
is!" She remembers me saying that to her a million times when she was a
single mother in a menial job. Now she
repeats it back to me.
It really makes me
smile to think about how far she has come, and we still laugh at the things
that changed her life around. One year, while working at her minimal wage job, a
load of Christmas trees fell on her, and her back was severely injured. When
she called me to tell me of her accident, I asked immediately how she was. My
second sentence was "This is a blessing in disguise!" Now you can get
on Vocational Rehabilitation Programs and you will be able to go to school and
“Become anything you want to be."
She still laughs,
because at the time she didn't believe me, and she thought (as many others
have) "This lady is crazy! I am lying in pain, and she is charting my
future career.”
Today, she is a Social
Worker helping others through their worst days and making them believe in what
they can achieve.
All the way back from
the park, she was filling me in on what my plans should include and where I
should go to get others involved in achieving these goals. I am still smiling
because “with God and friends, truly, nothing is impossible!"
