Education Funding AKA "The Resolution"

I have an education funding business plan that will be know this year as... 'The Resolution.' Those around me may be tired of hearing about it, a lot of time and energy has been pumped ito it. I've had everyone from Utah Angels to the Mayor of Salt Lake review the business plan. They gave me great feedback, input and told me to keep going. I brought it to three school districts and they did the same. I found all of the resources and people necessary and put them on standby while I rounded up the means to develop the software for the residual education funding program I'd developed in an Ah Ha! moment. Here's the story. I'd been an entrepreneur since I could remember. My parents worked hard, then bought and ran their own businesses. I was included in in a lot of discussions, meetings and creative sessions while also cleaning employee bathrooms, sending invoices and labeling thousands of envelopes in my early years. I had many enterprises and by 22, I was de

My Journey with I Doctor China

I've been working with Dr. Liu for almost a year now. With over fifty years as a Chinese Medical Doctor and the CEO of the China based Clinixoft , Dr. Liu has access to more medical knowledge than any other resource I have found. Perhaps more than all of them combined and I promise I read a lot . My desire to learn from her is how I started getting paid in rice and other Chinese foods for my help launching her US distribution, but I digress. Dr. Liu is old, loud and very demanding. Sometimes I have to answer calls while I'm in her office because she yells at the people calling in "What you want?!" She isn't trying to be mean, Americans have a hard time understanding her and when she is loud, it really seems to work out better. Sad but true. I came across Dr. Liu while looking for new clients for my Marketing and Business Development company. With an extreme interest in natural health and acupuncture because of the good it has done in my life, I called on D

Time to start writing a lot more

With my mind spinning, I look through file after file, book after book and discuss with individual after individual. Science, religion, art, society… There is nothing that doesn’t interest me now. I’m on a quest to help those I come into contact with and to benefit from them as well. I look for justice, peace and evolution for all life. I’m not sure when it started, my insatiable appetite for information. I recall reading cereal boxes, shampoo bottles, billboards. I read stacks of books each week – rarely taking a break to sleep or bathe. I’d bring 5 or more books on trips to the lake, when we went camping as a family and on road trips. I’d fill my mind with mystery novels, John Grisham and VC Andrews. When I’d read all but the Hardy Boys and those weird series-type books, I moved on to the non-fiction section. A biography on Audrey Hepburn that was well over a thousand pages was my first leap into truer stories. I sunk my eyes into instruction books on public speaking, the law,

Life without Ritual (part 2)

Which brings me to "consistently inconsistent." Quick story... Brent Carlson, perhaps one of the most solid and reliable sales men I've worked with (now a Clear Channel Rep), once told me I talk in a triangle. I start here, then go up to some other area, down to another topic and back to the original subject or question. "It will all end up making sense, but I'm never sure what just happened," Brent once told me. I think I talk this way because of the amount of angles you can approach one subject from. I have gathered information from the thousands of novels, articles, dictionaries and conversations I've had and it makes me think in a dimension that isn't just a Q and A. Hard to explain, but with the advent of the Internet, maybe some of you can understand that we are no longer living in a linear definition of life. There is a plethora of opportunities and abilities. I believe that a way to move forward with gusto, confidence and ex

Life Without Ritual

or A Guide to Escaping Mental Mind Traps (part 1) Written with a style dedicated to Rockie and Bullwinkle. Here's to never finishing the story. "Consistently inconsistent," my Dad says. It's a sentiment I've heard before, but never so eloquently put. And that would be my Dad. He's an example of power through minimal words, a man Lincoln would praise for his ability to use the least syllables while expressing absolute meaning. Unlike this paragraph and unlike me, most of the time. Allow me to digress... The world is in a period of obvious drastic change. 'The End of Times,' some say. The End of Times...    Not the End of Time,    Not the End of the World. What are 'times,' anyhow?    Let's start where I learned to and then go backwards in case I was taught wrong. We start off by defining the first word and gaining an understanding of the core concept, then the whole (thank you, Gary Mullanax). Try to stay with me...    

Local Real Estate Agent Dedicates Commissions to the BLM

Emily Fuller, a Utah Real Estate agent with a focus on equestrian properties, has decided to give back by donating commissions from every home sale to the BLM for the care of wild Mustangs. Real Estate Agent Emily Fuller and her Mustang Paco Fino, Stormy When Emily Fuller turned sixteen, it wasn’t a shiny car that kept her attention and it certainly wasn’t dresses and Seventeen magazine. Emily had a love for Stormy, her Mustang-Paco Fino horse. From an even earlier age, Emily had a gift with horses, training the large and wild animals without fear.   Now 30, Fuller sees a current and pressing need to help wild Mustangs throughout her home state. The BLM or, Bureau of Land Management, has the task of rounding up 10,000 horses this year, increasing the already heavy taxpayer burden to house and store for the animals long term. Emily’s plan? Help to care for the horses using   her Real Estate business. Each year, the Bureau of Land management cares for tens of thousands of hors
