			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p><strong>Summary of Life</strong> </p>
<p><strong>GREAT TRUTHS THAT LITTLE CHILDREN HAVE LEARNED: </strong></p>
<p>1) No matter how hard you try, you can&#8217;t baptize cats..<br />
2) When your Mum is mad at your Dad, don&#8217;t let her brush your hair.<br />
3) If your sister hits you, don&#8217;t hit her back. They always catch the second person.<br />
4) Never ask your 3-year old brother to hold a tomato..<br />
5) You can&#8217;t trust dogs to watch your food.<br />
6) Don&#8217;t sneeze when someone is cutting your hair.<br />
7) Never hold a Dust-Buster and a cat at the same time.<br />
8) You can&#8217;t hide a piece of broccoli in a glass of milk..<br />
9) Don&#8217;t wear polka-dot underwear under white shorts.<br />
10) The best place to be when you&#8217;re sad is Grandpa&#8217;s lap.. </p>
<p><strong>GREAT TRUTHS THAT ADULTS HAVE LEARNED:</strong> </p>
<p>1) Raising teenagers is like nailing jelly to a tree.<br />
2) Wrinkles don&#8217;t hurt.<br />
3) Families are like fudge&#8230;.mostly sweet, with a few nuts<br />
4) Today&#8217;s mighty oak is just yesterday&#8217;s nut that held its ground..<br />
5) Laughing is good exercise. It&#8217;s like jogging on the inside.<br />
6) Middle age is when you choose your cereal for the fiber, not the toy. </p>
<p><strong>GREAT TRUTHS ABOUT GROWING OLD </strong></p>
<p>1) Growing old is mandatory; growing up is optional..<br />
2) Forget the health food. I need all the preservatives I can get.<br />
3) When you fall down, you wonder what else you can do while you&#8217;re down there.<br />
4) You&#8217;re getting old when you get the same sensation from a rocking chair that you once got from a roller coaster.<br />
5) It&#8217;s frustrating when you know all the answers but nobody bothers to ask you the questions.<br />
6) Time may be a great healer, but it&#8217;s a lousy beautician<br />
7) Wisdom comes with age, but sometimes age comes alone. </p>
<p><strong>THE FOUR STAGES OF LIFE:</strong> </p>
<p>1) You believe in Santa Claus.<br />
2) You don&#8217;t believe in Santa Claus.<br />
3) You are Santa Claus.<br />
4) You look like Santa Claus.<br />
<strong><br />
SUCCESS:</strong> </p>
<p>At age 4 success  is . . . . Not piddling in your pants.<br />
At age 12 success is . . . Having friends.<br />
At age 17 success is . . Having a driver&#8217;s license.<br />

At age 70 success is . .. . Having a drivers license.<br />
At age 75 success is . . . Having friends.<br />
At age 80 success is . . . Not piddling in your pants. </p>
<p>Pass this on to someone who could use a laugh. </p>
<p>Always remember to forget the troubles that pass your way;<br />
BUT NEVER forget the blessings that come each day. </p>
<p>Have a wonderful day with many ! *smiles* </p>
<p>Take the time to live!!!<br />
Life is too short.<br />
Dance naked. Woo-hoo! </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<h2>Felisa Ryan makes it to the Top of Google</h2>
<p>An amazing story Felisa Ryan is writing: she has a Goal, a Project and she implements it using a YORGOO Press powered <a title="Business Market Watch London" href="http://felisaryan.yorgoopress.com">web site</a>. Within no time, less than 30 days she climbed up all the way to storm the very top following the best advise she got out of the Ycademy Trainings</p>
<h3>Business Market Watch London on Google</h3>
<h3>
<div id="attachment_1330" class="wp-caption aligncenter"><a href="http://www.google.com/search?hl=en&amp;q=business+market+watch+london&amp;btnG=Google+Search&amp;aq=f&amp;oq="><img class="size-large wp-image-1330" title="felisaryan102" src="http://yorgonestoridis.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/felisaryan102-500x736.jpg" alt="Business Market Watch London on Google" width="500" height="736" /></a></p>
<p class="wp-caption-text">Business Market Watch London on Google</p>
</div>
</h3>
<p><strong>Notice that there are over 9 Million search returns on that page! </strong>Above the Top 10, Google displays on priority mapped business. Felisa put her business on the map, the Google Map, which gives her a first link on the very top of the page.</p>
<p>Then, her brand new YORGOO Press is listed just after YORGOO Publishing on rank 2 and 3; brilliant!</p>
<h3>The next Step</h3>
<p>Felisa’s Publication is promoting the content she is continuing to create and to load. As the content gets it’s own listing, it is important to keep promoting the publication as a whole as well. This is what this post will do for example.</p>
<p>But then, it’s about content: the site needs to get fed with new content permanently to attract loyal readers and to get additional exposure. This coming week-end Felisa will link her site to social networks, such as Twitter and Facebook, posting content and links to these networks and promoting her publication there.</p>
<p>The <a title="Social Media Marketing Ycademy online Seminar" href="http://yorgonestoridis.com/yorgo-nestoridis/social-media-marketing-with-cnn/">Ycademy Online Seminar</a> will focus on exactly this task: to implement a Social Media Marketing strategy involving Social Networks.</p>
<p>Watch out World, Felisa and Business Market Watch London are coming!</p>

<p><em>Cape Town, 24 April 2009 - by Bianca Gubalke</em></p>
<div id="attachment_739" class="wp-caption alignleft" ><a href="http://biancagubalke.com/"><img class="size-full wp-image-739" title="Graceful Exits by Sushila Blackman" src="http://biancagubalke.com/wp-content/uploads/2009/04/exits.jpg" rel="facebox" alt="Graceful Exits by Sushila Blackman" width="139" height="208" /></a></p>
<p class="wp-caption-text">Graceful Exits by Sushila Blackman</p>
</div>
<p>&#8220;Death is only an experience through which you are meant to learn a great lesson: you cannot die.&#8221;  Paramahansa Yogananda</p>
<p><strong>When I received &#8220;Graceful Exits&#8221; as a gift</strong> to help me pass through some very difficult times not too long ago, I didn&#8217;t know how powerful it would be in calming and connecting with &#8220;Source&#8221;. It is a perfect support during gruelling times when fear of losing a loved one or going through that process oneself without preparation is both paralyzing and isolating. Yes, I say &#8216;preparation&#8217; as I believe it is important to approach one&#8217;s transition from here to there in the most conscious and therefore &#8216;gracious&#8217; way possible - and this without fear. This book helps wonderfully with just that and Deepak Chopra says it perfectly:</p>
<p>&#8220;This beautiful little book is a gem. It contributes to our understanding that we are truly timeless.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>While our Western Culture is still struggling with &#8216;heaven and hell&#8217; concepts</strong> instead of integrating Life as a circle of coming and going - celebrating the &#8216;going&#8217; as a triumph of having lived an exceptional, a responsible and a debt-free life with a right for some rest before transcending to &#8216;the next step&#8217;, this is rather normal for many people in the Far East who share and practise very different beliefs.</p>
<p><strong>In this remarkable compilation of death stories,</strong> Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist and Zen Masters summarize their life teachings in final gems of wisdom, which are often their last words&#8230; in many cases quite humorous&#8230; and always, without exception, sovereign and fearless!</p>
<p><strong>As a result, this book is actually about Life</strong> and how to live it fully more than anything else&#8230; and this in a very inspiring and refreshing way with a wealth of food for thought and meditation.</p>
<p>Here an excerpt that I find absolutely extraordinary, following the passing of Swami Sivananda on 21 June 1963, his last words having being&#8230; &#8220;Happiness comes when the individual merges in God&#8221; :</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;In his loving tribute, Venkatesananda wrote: &#8220;&#8230; <strong>He created an inside, and has entered it. Now he works inside, out of view, but more truly and purposefully active, therefore.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>As you see, these words have meaning for anyone,</strong> even if young and healthy and especially if having an interest in the spiritual meaning of our existence. Sometimes a sudden interest arises exactly within these moments of trial where we look for answers and guidance.</p>
<div class="wp-caption alignnone" ><a title="Zen like a rolling stone" href="http://biancagubalke.com" ><img  title="Zen Image" src="http://farm1.static.flickr.com/176/466522635_e666a2f4aa.jpg" rel="facebox" alt="" width="500" height="375" /></a></p>
<p class="wp-caption-text">Zen</p>
</div>
<p><strong>On another level,  &#8220;Graceful Exits&#8221; is also about a courageous woman -</strong> the author - who had lived a fascinating life and was terminally ill when writing this book. She died peacefully and consciously a month after completing her legacy to the world.</p>
<p>&#8220;How wonderful! The waves of the individual selves according to their nature rise up, play for a time, and disappear. I remain the shoreless ocean.&#8221; ~ Ashtavakra Sahita</p>
<p>Certainly a book you will get back to from time to time and there will always be a loving answer.</p>
<p>Bianca Gubalke</p>

<p>&#8220;Death is only an experience through which you are meant to learn a great lesson: you cannot die.&#8221;  Paramahansa Yogananda</p>
<p><strong>When I received &#8220;Graceful Exits&#8221; as a gift</strong> to help me pass through some very difficult times not too long ago, I didn&#8217;t know how powerful it would be in calming and connecting with &#8220;Source&#8221;. It is a perfect support during gruelling times when fear of losing a loved one or going through that process oneself without preparation is both paralyzing and isolating. Yes, I say &#8216;preparation&#8217; as I believe it is important to approach one&#8217;s transition from here to there in the most conscious and therefore &#8216;gracious&#8217; way possible - and this without fear. This book helps wonderfully with just that and Deepak Chopra says it perfectly:</p>
<p>&#8220;This beautiful little book is a gem. It contributes to our understanding that we are truly timeless.&#8221;</p>
<p><strong>While our Western Culture is still struggling with &#8216;heaven and hell&#8217; concepts</strong> instead of integrating Life as a circle of coming and going - celebrating the &#8216;going&#8217; as a triumph of having lived an exceptional, a responsible and a debt-free life with a right for some rest before transcending to &#8216;the next step&#8217;, this is rather normal for many people in the Far East who share and practise very different beliefs.</p>
<p><strong>In this remarkable compilation of death stories,</strong> Hindu, Tibetan Buddhist and Zen Masters summarize their life teachings in final gems of wisdom, which are often their last words&#8230; in many cases quite humorous&#8230; and always, without exception, sovereign and fearless!</p>
<p><strong>As a result, this book is actually about Life</strong> and how to live it fully more than anything else&#8230; and this in a very inspiring and refreshing way with a wealth of food for thought and meditation.</p>
<p>Here an excerpt that I find absolutely extraordinary, following the passing of Swami Sivananda on 21 June 1963, his last words having being&#8230; &#8220;Happiness comes when the individual merges in God&#8221; :</p>
<p>&#8220;&#8230;In his loving tribute, Venkatesananda wrote: &#8220;&#8230; <strong>He created an inside, and has entered it. Now he works inside, out of view, but more truly and purposefully active, therefore.&#8221;</strong></p>
<p><strong>As you see, these words have meaning for anyone,</strong> even if young and healthy and especially if having an interest in the spiritual meaning of our existence. Sometimes a sudden interest arises exactly within these moments of trial where we look for answers and guidance.</p>
<p><strong>On another level,  &#8220;Graceful Exits&#8221; is also about a courageous woman -</strong> the author - who had lived a fascinating life and was terminally ill when writing this book. She died peacefully and consciously a month after completing her legacy to the world.</p>
<p>&#8220;How wonderful! The waves of the individual selves according to their nature rise up, play for a time, and disappear. I remain the shoreless ocean.&#8221; ~ Ashtavakra Sahita</p>
<p>Certainly a book you will get back to from time to time and there will always be a loving answer.</p>
