Howdy Folks and Good Day!
Editing SFPNN for almost ten years now and being married to someone who edits
film and television professionally I’m very well aware of how much of a story
often gets cut out.
For example, I may condense a story eliminating anywhere from 25 to 500 words or more depending on how it’s written and the message being conveyed. Or I might break it down into multiple parts shared over several days, highlighting only pieces of it at a time to emphasize particular points.
When Mark edits, he can take FOUR HOURS worth of footage and cut it down to TWENTY MINUTES!
We tend to believe we’re getting the whole truth or the entire picture when we see things on TV or read books, but we’re honestly only getting a small part of the picture. This is especially true with many of the news station broadcasts.
Recently, I heard Dr.
Wayne Dyer share his experience of going to
After his awe-inspiring evening in
It’s a good question!
They say seeing is believing. We believe what’s on TV and in books,
magazines and newspapers because we see
it! The challenge is learning to
Today, I challenge you to notice all the good that surrounds you. Give thanks for every smile, every hello, every hug, every compliment, and every blessing. Take nothing and no one for granted.
Thank God for all the people who make your life possible. If you’ve got a moment, start contemplating all those who DO make your life possible. If you really let yourself expound on this you’ll be amazed!
When you see the whole picture, you may come to realize there’s a lot more to be grateful for in life than you were previously looking at. And that’s some good news – no editing needed!
With Peace, Love, Happiness, Health, and Prosperity…

in creating our heart’s desires. All of
our thoughts have energy. Energy
attracts like energy. Think about your

This guy in
"Yes, I've got a
phone!"
"You got a
TV?"
"Yes, I've got a
TV!"
"You got a bed in
yours?"
"A
bed??? No!" he replies dejectedly.
The light changes and they take off.
Their brief exchange was really working on the guy. He thought he had everything!
He turns around and drives straight to the dealership and tells them he wants a bed put in. They tell him that Mercedes don't come with beds, but the man was adamant and demanded a bed be installed. Finally, they said they'd figure out a way.
The guy picks up his car and for the next two
weeks he drives all over
He finally spots the car in a parking lot and
pulls in beside it. He gets out and knocks on the window. No answer. He knocks
again. No answer. He starts to walk away when the window rolls slowly down a
bit and the guy growls, "What do you want?"
He says, "I got a bed in my car!"
The guy replies, "You got me out of the shower just to tell me that?"

After a while, these exotic sports cars just blended in with all the other cars and seemed like
a normal part of the scenery. It wasn’t
until friends came to visit and were astonished to see a Ferrari “in real life”
that I even noticed them again. Incidentally,
the Ferrari was next to an extended SUV style limo with a hot-tub and
dance-floor in it!
Even though there are many famous producers, directors and actors in
our region, the thing I notice most is the beauty of the mountains, ocean and
landscape. I love seeing the smiles on
the children’s faces at the park and the joy it brings their parents. My breath is taken away by the hawks which
soar overhead on the wind currents. And the songs of the coyotes soothe my ears
and enchant my imagination. I’m glad the
only thing working me over is my gratitude!

It started so simple, so innocently… Tom fulfilled a promise to write the stories he said he would tell. A man, two dogs and a forlorn tree… Who could have known it would turn into the intriguing series known as "The Christmas Tree Chronicles." Don't be fooled by the name, these twisted tales take you year round!
It doesn't stop there, though.

Kindness Suggestion – Thanks to Ellie
Braun-Haley
Taking the Time to Care
by Dianne
I was in a Revy store on the
McLeod Trail searching for a protective piece I needed to replace on a halogen
lamp. A salesperson set out to help me locate it but after some ten minutes I
realized they didn't actually carry what I needed. The salesclerk was not
daunted in her task. She began searching through parts from previously
defective lamps to give me what I needed. I was so pleased by her attitude and
helpfulness. So many others would have just said, "No we don't carry
that!"
On another occasion I was in Wal-mart
in Shawnessy in
A young girl in housewares got on
the phone to two other Wal-mart stores in the search
for my coffee mugs. She kept a professional attitude when one of the stores
left her on hold twice for a very long time only to have someone finally answer
that they couldn't understand her initial request. The sales clerk was
wonderful and during this time I watched her juggle her attention to help two
other customers. I walked away from that store grateful to a most fabulous lady
for all her efforts on my behalf. Customer service is alive and well in this
city.

TAKE THE SFPNN KINDNESS CHALLENGE!
Living through the words of Gandhi, we must be the change we want to see in the world. We must also acknowledge those who are in the act of creating those changes. Therefore, we have two challenges for you.
Kindness Challenge # 1: Do something kind today and every day. It doesn’t have to be of earth-shattering proportions to make a positive difference. Simply saying “Thank You” or letting someone know they’re appreciated can have a tremendous impact. Find little ways to be kind and to make our world a kinder place. And feel free to tell us about your kind act!
E-mail: “KINDNESS”
Kindness Challenge # 2: Share something kind someone has done for you! People are kind to us in a myriad of ways on a daily basis. But we often overlook their kindness. Become aware of acts of kindness and acknowledge the person performing them. Then share their kind gesture with SFPNN.
E-mail: “KINDNESS”

Moments of Joy — From Joy Hart
This is kind of an interesting way to look at who we are.
incognito
Incognito, that’s what we all are,
Incognito, spinning around on a star.
We are each a part of one being,
Pretending to be on our own.
We can never be separate
From the life that sustains us all,
And is the primary ingredient
That makes us who we are.
