Mute Monday -- "Sweet" -- Makes Sweet, Hmm?

FAIR TRADE CHOCOLATE EVENT

Who doesn't like chocolate? There are very few people who don't. (They were probably given chocolate as a kid but were told it was calves' liver or something like that.)

Did you know that about half of the world's chocolate is produced with slave labor? For more information, visit http://www.stopthetraffik.org/

If you like to cook and would like to win a goodie bag of Traffik-Free Chocolate, stop over here: http://rkhooks.net/2007/09/03/stop-the-traffik-chocolate-event/

If you participate, stop back here.

In the comments section leave your name and the url to your blog post that you use to enter r k hooks' event, using Traffik-Free Chocolate.

I'll be posting this info about the event at each of my blogs. Feel free to leave your comment and link at each one. (One comment entry per blog please, though.) From all of the comments posted, there will be a random drawing and I'll send out a chocolate-related thank you to three winners.

DREAM ... Share your Talents, too!

You MUST check out this awesome video that Kay has posted at her blog, Loop de Loops:

http://loopdeloops.blogspot.com/2007/09/dreams-can-come-true.html

Go there NOW! I'll wait. Go, click on the video (after you pause her music -- Jimmy Durante -- well, pause him after you enjoy that ... personally, I love Jimmy's voice :-) but I'm a 60s kid who loved 40s music growing up ...)

DO NOT read anymore of this post until you've watched the video ...

















Okay, now I'll tell you that I heard about this on the radio. I listen to classic music radio in the car. Turned on the radio in the middle of a discussion about this.

There was a debate whether it is okay that a non-professional could sing opera so well and whether it was proper that he did so well in a "popular" venue like that. Opera snobs are upset. Music lovers, though, are ecstatic.

Never belittle YOUR dreams! They are a gift. Your talents are yours and are also a gift.

Live While you are Alive!

Create Your Life -- don't let it just happen to you.

Rejoice in each day's blank page to make your mark on.
