NOTE: This is a comment response to a post on Geek News Central . Ditto. I love my HTC Evo! I started in the Smartphone world back with the Palm Treo 650 running Palm OS ($449 on Verizon in 2003). Then, moved to the Palm Treo 700w ($499 on Verizon in 2006) as the first Windows Mobile OS running on a Palm hardware. It was a major improvement, but soon realized that I had to factory reset the thing every three months, just like Windows XP! :) Next, I moved to the HTC Mogul ($0 trade w/ friend on Sprint in 2009), another Windows Mobile device. However, it had much better hardware, so enjoyed the significant increase in performance, screen space, gps and better camera. So, it should be apparent at this point, that I prefer smartphones. However, I don't change phones but every 3 years or so. I almost bought the palm pre and was very exited about the Web OS because I always like the shine of palm harware and loved the prospect of merging my social network contact lists and the clou...

I have recently fully realized the main purpose this particular instance of my life on this earth..... Pretty, big, thing to realize, right? Well, here it is: I am to forever be a Student & Mentor. I have always had the thirst for knowledge and the natural inclination to console and assist others. Anyone who knows me, would most likely agree that I am a natural leader and organizer, though would equally be surprised that I would make such a bold statement. Some good sense adages come to mind... "You will attract more bees with honey than vinegar" "Treat other as ye wilst be treated" aka The Golden Rule The Law of Attraction I sometimes have to stand back and giggle a little at how easy it is to get what you want from the universe. There are a few important steps: Ask for help . Be sure to express your need. But, do not demand or threaten. Believe that people want to do the right thing. Be a cheerleader! Encourage others that they have the power. Help others of...

Most Dreams fade away by the time I have finished my morning sabbatical. However, every once in a while, the dream is so consistent in theme, so vivid, so emotional, that it sticks with me much longer. Even becomes a memory, of sorts. Last night, I had a series of dreams that explored my psyche and allowed me to express my deep emotions on a level that I haven't felt in a while. Most days I am busy being the "rock", the shoulder to cry on, the mediator & negotiator. So, it is no wonder that the deep passion that I feel about life and relationships tends to come out with such explosive force. I have become quite apt in analyzing my dreams. It isn't the individual events that occur and the minute details of the environment, but rather the emotional tout that is most important. The particular feelings that one experiences in a dream is the real "meaning" of it all. In my case, I am struggling with a conflict: I am proud of my beauty, inside & ...

Phew! what a long day! ;) I just discovered something interesting that might point to a possible increased risk of the anxiety issues I have been dealing with. I have stopped taking my Depo shot (birth control). I have been off it for about 2 months and within the last month I haven't had any anxiety symptoms. Prior to stopping the depo, I was still having mild anxiety attacks even on the anxiety meds. So, I did some searching online and found lots of forums where people posted about the same circumstances. Anxiety and depression are a possible side effect of Depo. But, since I had been on it for about 5 years, I didn't think they were related. However, as I kept searching, I found several whom only starting having REAL problems after being on depo for a few years, especially if there was some sort of extra stress in thier lives that helped to trigger the episodes. So, long story short, I am staying on the meds for a bit longer, but am seriously considering trying to we...

Day 5 was a much better day! I took a healthy 2 mile hike to Horseshoe Bend. Was a bit grueling for me, especially since I am not fit for this kind of excersize. Up and down a hill both ways with a good portion very sandy, so slow. It definitely got my heart beat up. I know now that when I do excersize, I want to do much of it outside. It has been much colder up here than I expected it to feel and so have been staying at hotels mostly. It is getting a bit expensive and I am starting to miss the warmth of phoenix. Plus, I forgot my long johns! :) Anyway, after the hike to Horseshoe Bend, I went on a boat tour to Antelope Canyon. Beatiful high "painted" canyon walls. The sandstone layers and sheer cliffs were spotted with flora and fauna. We saw a couple blue herons and some kayakers on the way. Took lots of pictures, of course. I will be posting them when I get back home. I stayed at the Marble Canyon Lodge, just south of Lees Ferry. A qauint little lodge in the m...
