The Price Of Anything Is The Amount Of Life You Exchange For It 

---- Living Your Own Best Dream Life

A few quotes I found inspirational.... 

Life isn’t a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a well preserved body, but rather to skid in sideways, chocolate in one hand, latte in the other, body thoroughly used up, totally worn out and screaming ‘Woohoo WHAT A RIDE’! -- Unknown

The price of anything is the amount of life you exchange for it – Henry David Thoreau.
Too many people spend money they haven’t earned, to buy things they don’t want, to impress people they don’t like – Will Rogers.

When we are no longer able to change a situation, we are challenged to change ourselves – 
Viktor Frankl.



You are not in this world to live up to other people’s expectations, nor should you feel the world must live up to yours – F Perl.


People will hate you, rate you, shake you, and break you. But how strong you stand is what makes you – Unknown.

“Life is not measured by the breaths we take but by the moments that take our breath away.”

“The more you praise and celebrate your life, the more there is in life to celebrate.”

“There are two things to aim at in life; first to get what you want, and after that to enjoy it. Only the wisest of mankind has achieved the second.”

Don’t ask what the world needs. Ask what makes you come alive and go do it. Because what the world needs is more people who have come alive – Howard Thurman.

WHAT THEY DO NOT TEACH YOU IN SCHOOL….

How to love, how to let go and how to live your own best life…

This life is what you make it. No matter what, it will not be perfect But the good part is you get to decide your own perfection. Just because you fail once, doesn't mean you're going to fail at everything. Keep trying, hold on, and always, always, always believe in yourself. Keep your head high, keep your chin up, and most importantly, keep smiling, because life's a beautiful thing and there's so much to smile about. ---

Your time is limited; don’t waste it living someone else’s life. Don’t be trapped by dogma, which is living the result of other people’s thinking. Don’t let the noise of other’s opinion drowned your own inner voice. And most important, have the courage to follow your heart and intuition, they somehow already know what you truly want to become. Everything else is secondary.” – Steve Jobs

“ You may not control all the events that happen to you, but you can decide not to be reduced by them.”– Maya Angelou

“Why should we worry about what others think of us, do we have more confidence in their opinions than we do our own?” ― Brigham Young

Do not wait to strike till the iron is hot; but make it hot by striking. – Unknown

It is impossible to live without failing at something, unless you live so cautiously that you might has well not have lived at all, in which case you have failed by default.

J. K. Rowling

I think most of us are raised with preconceived notions of the choices we're supposed to make. We waste so much time making decisions based on someone else's idea of our happiness - what will make you a good citizen or a good wife or daughter or actress. Nobody says, 'Just be happy - go be a cobbler or go live with goats.'

Sandra Bullock

It is I much that you are busy, but what you are busy doing. What is consuming your energy? Are you working toward the #positive or the negative? The bee is praised. The mosquito is swatted -- Unknown

One of the most tragic things I know about human nature is that all of us tend to put off living. We are all dreaming of some magical gardens over the horizon instead of enjoying the world blooming outside our windows today -- Unknown

Self discovery is the hardest journey a person can take. Their journey is not measured in miles nor success. It is measured in understanding. The reason this journey is so hard and poses such risk is because it's easy to see fault in other people, though very hard to look inside and see those flaws which stop you from being the best person you can be. Those flaws demonstrated by others may give clues along the way, but it is only by self-discovery that one can expect to fulfill their voyage. The way is tough. The things you find out about yourself may be horrid and unimaginable although one has to see those evil parts to be able to recognize the temptations the soul has to step away from becoming because the path is easier. Take a walk across the planes of being you, and regardless of the risks, those who take this walk with little fear in their souls will see the bigger picture -- Unknown

‎At some point everyone must decide if they are a creator or a critic, a lover or a hater, a giver or a taker.... live life always on the lookout for the presence of wonder. -- Unknown

The components of anxiety, stress, fear, and anger do not exist independently of you in the world. They simply do not exist in the physical world, even though we talk about them as if they do. They do feel very real, but so can love harmony and peace. -- Unknown

Be careful not to compromise what you want most for what you want now. ---Zig Ziglar

My mission in life is not merely to survive, but to thrive; and to do so with some passion, some compassion, some humor, and some style. --Maya Angelou

Did I offer peace today? Did I bring a smile to someone's face? Did I say words of healing? Did I let go of my anger and resentment? Did I forgive? Did I love? These are the real questions. I must trust that the little bit of love that I sow now will bear many fruits, here in this world and the life to come. --Henri Nouwen

CREATING OPPORTUNIY MARKET IN THE HAMPTONS

There are amazing artist out there, but not all of us have the opportunity to own our own store front or gallery... Or even want to. Creating Opportunity Market gives an artist an opportunity to showcase and sell their workmanship and designs to the public.

In 2008, New York enacted a measure that requires many large online retailers to begin collecting sales taxes on purchases shipped to the state, even if they have no operations or employees there.

The measure states that any online retailer that generates more than $10,000 in sales via in-state sales affiliates must collect New York sales tax. Many online retailers, including Amazon.com and Buy.com, have sales affiliates nationwide that link to the retailer's web site and are paid commission on any sales generated from their referrals. New York's measure clarifies state tax law to say that sales affiliates based in the state are representatives of the online retailer. This means that the retailer has nexus (i.e., a physical presence) in the state and is required to collect state sales taxes.

In all, more than 30 companies are covered by New York's provision. According to the New York State Department of Taxation and Finance, in the first six months since the provision became law, the state has recouped $46 million. Officials expect to recoup $68 million in FY 2009-2010.

Several other states are now considering legislation modeled on New York's.

New York Starts New Clothing Sales Tax - What do you think?

In New York, there is no state sales tax for clothing under $110 – currently only some counties do tax clothing – but that’s all going to change come Oct. 1 when the state tax on all clothing is reinstated.

The tax will last only six months and beginning on April 1, 2011, the tax will be rescinded on clothing that retails for less than $55.

The current plan is to raise the exemption level to $110 again in April of 2012
