adventure: PEARLS SERIES AUTHOR INTERVIEW RICHARD ALAN NAGGAR
- 04/18/12 11:34 PM
PEARLS SERIES of books from a local author and Real Estate Broker Richard Alan Naggar remain a continued steady success because of the nature of the books. They remain personal, intimate and giving say consumers and the author "Richie" would not have it any other way either. A good book continues working and serving long after you put them down. Richie, some questions please if you don't mind..
Q: What is PEARLS FOR THE SOUL.?
A: It is a book of proverbs, insights, revelations, positive sayings, and uplifting phrases. It is something that causes us to reflect and receive good input and guidance from within ourselves and then to share … (4 comments)

adventure: REMEMBER WHEN PERSONAL LICENSE PLATES CAME OUT
- 04/16/12 07:25 AM
It was a revenue generator for the state plus it was fun and exciting to do. All the good names came out and that made others request their cute little titles too. Of course, in those days, it all had to be done via mail and you would have to snail mail back and forth to find out if your name was accepted
EVERYONE I WANTED WAS TAKEN
If and when you received confirmation, you couldn't wait for it to come in the mail. Now I was a johnny come lately on this and all ideas that I had that would please … (7 comments)

Thanks to two lovely fine ActiveRain ladies Lottie Kendall and Mary Stewart for emphasizing something in one of my posts.The passing of the baton. PAUSE here. Let this sink in. Every one of us has been invited here to participate anyway we see fit with only 2 simple rules. Mind the one who sent you here and honor those all around you

adventure: YOU HAVE A RIGHT TO BE HERE
- 03/30/12 02:14 AM
I have a friend who is constantly apologizing for just about anything. Usually, if someone disagrees with this person, rather than argue, defend or stand, they apologize. This lack of self-confidence is not normal behavior. Being UN-worthy is not taught but over takes people early in life usually during their child hood. Then, they carry it out into their adult lives
WE ARE ALL GUESTS HERE
People who are not sure of themselves attract other people who re-enforce that hesitation and doubt. No one needs any ones permission or approval to live life. A greater force has invited us all and it … (8 comments)

adventure: EMULATING SUCCESSFUL PEOPLE IS A START TO FINDING "YOU"
- 03/02/12 12:27 AM
It will get you started and may even prime the SUCCESS pump. But for the long haul, one must discover their own treasure chest within themselves. That is your guaranteed ticket to everything you do. After that, learning how to use and spend those inner gifts leads to describing and defining your life journey. YOU then discover YOU.

adventure: LIFE INVITES US TO ADVENTURE EXPLORE & PARTICIPATE I ACCEPT
- 02/26/12 02:16 AM
In the world of yes or no, where simplicity and honesty reside, if you ask the question; Is life good?....the answer can only be yes. Our circumstances that change from day to day, week to week or even yearly should not change this answer in any way.
CHALLENGES COME AND GO
Many of us face challenging obstacles and new growth that we didn't see coming or that appear to be overwhelming. Some of us worry and think way too much into the future. While it is wise to be aware of what is coming up and its consequences, let us not … (8 comments)

adventure: ACTION PLANS MOVEMENT WITH A PURPOSE
- 02/25/12 01:04 AM
Life is to be lived. Why do you think you wake up in the morning? Its a call to action if there ever was one. Every waking hour of the day is a precious one of a kind gift that most people aren't aware of until its too late. An action plan whether it is personal or professional is a good way to get your day in gear and you with it

adventure: THERE IS NOTHING HOLDING YOU BACK
- 01/11/12 07:21 AM
Anything you set out to do will be done. People practice this on routine everyday matters. There is absolutely no reason why this would not work for larger matters too. First, we were not put here to be defeated. Second, in America, you go until you had enough. Lastly, watch out for things that tell you otherwise or cause doubt
PRIDE, EGO, AND OTHER THINGS....
Blaming others or having excuses are robbers in disguise. They are deceivers too because they would have you believe that someone or something is keeping you from succeeding. Nothing has the power to stop you and … (2 comments)

adventure: YOU CANNOT STOP THE STORMS OF LIFE
- 12/28/11 03:44 AM
Learning how to navigate through the storms of life is a very good idea. We are motion machines equipped with intelligence and designed with above average capabilities (debatable at times, I know). Wherever we go, there we are and we are designed to supervise, maintain, direct and prevail no matter what is thrown our way

adventure: EXPLORING CAVES EXCITING MYSTERIOUS SCARY TOO
- 12/21/11 03:20 AM
I have had a chance to explore two caves in my lifetime both the very exciting adventures. I visited one in Hawaii that when on for miles underground. The other one was in Sequoia National forest in California. both offered perspective on another way to see things. It becomes another world
FIRST TIME OUT
In Hawaii, I packed the necessary items which for me included two flashlights, a huge knife, water etc...Then, I began the descent into the remote caverns that go on for miles. I made one mistake that I was not aware of at the time. I never let … (4 comments)

adventure: BLUE SKIES GREEN LIGHT WE HAVE A GO
- 12/20/11 02:26 AM
This statement is one of encouragement. It beckons to those that are hesitating about their personal and professional lives. Remove the doubt, the indecision and begin to realize that now is that time to accomplish anything you put your mind to. Considering that we will not be traveling this way again, it makes sense then to seize the day
YOU HAVE A GO SIGNAL
If you woke up this morning, then all systems are a go. You are cleared for take-off. Let's see, where should we go and what should we do? All things are permitted, but not all profit us … (6 comments)

adventure: THE FIRST "NOEL" MEANS BIRTHDAY
- 12/13/11 05:09 AM
I never knew if they were singing Be Well Be Well or Oh Well Oh Well until one day it all became very clear. It is Noel Noel which didn't make any sense either. Who is Noel? Putting that aside, I just enjoyed the song and even jumped in and sang. Very pleasant to do. Now, I know what it means
IT'S FRENCH
It is the first meaningful "birthday" that has any significance as far as birthdays go. If you follow the story and have read the books, there is only one real birth that makes all others mean something...

adventure: WORST VACATION STORY RENTING A HOUSE BOAT part 4
- 12/09/11 03:41 AM
I have never house boated before and here I am on the Sacramento Delta in California and I just pulled in front of an ocean going liner. I mean I couldn't have planned this stuff nor could I imagined anything as scary as being chased by a GIANT CRUISE SHIP blasting its horn who wont stop and I cannot speed up or turn anywhere.
DOWN BUT NOT OUT...BUT CLOSE TO BEING OUT
I jammed that throttle all the way and it didn't do any good. My wife is screaming and the kids are speechless. That is what makes it so terrifying … (6 comments)

adventure: WORST VACATION STORY RENTING A HOUSE BOAT part 3
- 12/09/11 03:40 AM
I rented a house boat and shared some stories in parts 1 & 2. Now, come to the part of reading maps and using a compass. I knew nothing absolutely nothing about this. For instance, I did not know that the map top is always North. I did not know the handy dandy way to remember the directions as follows: never eat shredded wheat or....N E S W

- 12/09/11 03:39 AM
In part 1, I am living the all-American dream of vacationing with my family and rented a house boat which is something I have never done before. Little did I know that before this was over that I would need a vacation from this vacation. It doesn't have to be that way for you.

We disembark at one port and walk around getting some exercise and checking the sights and sounds. We are now boat people or whatever you call them. We sight see and then get back on board. I adjust my hat, I carefully pull … (4 comments)

- 12/09/11 03:38 AM
I was always looking for clean family fun and this one year decided to rent a house boat. What a fascinating subject to consider too. There are so many places to visit and I chose the Sacramento Delta in Northern California. I have never house boated before, but I figured how hard can it be?

It remains a favorite day for all because of what we do with it. It can bring to a close a weeks worth of events or begin a new set of circumstances namely the beginning of something like a vacation or mission. Friday, just the mention of it triggers pleasant thoughts and emotions especially for the 9-5 crowd

adventure: TOO MUCH THINKING ABOUT ANYTHING CAUSE ONES WORLD TO SHRINK
- 09/27/11 04:18 AM
When we go into our minds or emotions, that is our world for the moment. That means we are no longer in the world of the now or present, but one of our own making. We go inside our minds for various reasons. Some look for answers, some escape, and others believing that their thinking can lead them to where they want to go. Perhaps the opposite works too

Remaining objective, centered and aware throughout your daily journey enables you to have access to more circumstances and solutions as opposed to just dwelling in your mind. Sometimes what … (0 comments)

adventure: MAY THIS DAY REWARD YOU ACCORDINGLY INVEST HEAVILY IN IT
- 09/16/11 05:02 AM
What you put into something will determine what you get back. Life is as simple as that. Invest in yourself and others and watch and see what comes pouring forth. Life is to be lived, explored, sampled, and shared. Up the ANTE on this and all you did was improve your own experience. It doesn'tmatter what your circumstances are either

adventure: IGNORE EVERYTHING YOU READ AND HEAR AND REMEMBER THIS ALWAYS
- 09/03/11 07:33 AM
Remember why people originally came to this country. How they first heard the stories of how anything was possible and if they could only get here, to AMERICA, their dreams would have legs upon which to walk on. They knew this in their hearts and AMERICA beckoned to them across the seas, in mountains and in far away places...Give me your tired, your poor, your huddled masses yearning to breath free
