I See You Soaring!

You are as unique as each flower in a lovely garden
and every cloud drifting along in the glorious sky.
There is and never will be another exactly like you.

As each dawn is born and gratefully becomes the daytime,
so have you received the same gifts and potential.

With every brilliant sunset appearing upon the horizon,
so are the joyful colors there within your soul.
In the coming of night's darkness, you can sparkle as a star.

I see the beauty now, living deep inside you,
waiting, like a tiny fragile bird, for the perfect moment
to break through the shell of the delicate egg.

Believe in the reality of all hope, love and grace here,
then choose to breathe them fully into your self,
offering them a safe and comfortable place to thrive and grow.

It is time to believe in the miracles of authentic living
and trust you will receive all that you ask or need.
Each thought, ! word and action can truly expand your heart.

Look and see! There are your wings, folded in expectation.
Open them slowly and carefully; spread them gracefully.
Allow time for the sun and gentle breezes to dry each feather.

Now is your time to fly!

-The Bond Girls Latest Mission-

The Mission

Last night while chatting in Joe's Diner on the Next Level two chatters..we shall call them the Bond Girls went on a mission. The mission was:

    Play chathouse tag and invite the people you tag to meet in the Common on The Great Hall level. The idea was that it would be a fun way to meet new people from all over the Chathouse.

So with a flip of the hair & striking a Bond Girl Pose, we were off on our mission, running thruout the Chathouse tagging people and leaving this message:
    TAG you're it!! If you would like to play the Chathouse tag game with us please meet in the Common on the Great Hall level within 5-10min of being tagged & tagging someone else. It should be a great way to meet new people and should be alot of fun. *S*

The rules: Tag someone you don't know in a room that you don't chat in. Then meet at a designated room.

Pretty simple wouldn't you think?
Well out of atleast a hundred chatters tagged only two (which shall remain nameless since i didn't ask permission to use their handle :) actually showed up. So i'd like to say thank you to those two chatters, it was a pleasure to meet and chat with you both and i'll be watching for you in the rooms *S*. To me, that is pretty disappointing..but to be honest it really wasn't unexpected. I know we all have our favorite rooms to chat in and that's where we hang out at. But do you realize at any given time there are over 500+ chatters in The Chathouse?!?! Most of us probably don't even chat with 1/10 of these people, yet when offered the opportunity to enjoy a friendly chat while meeting new people,only four people total were up for it. I understand we all get involved in our particular rooms, but what is five minutes out of your time to open a new browser and check things out. Isn't this why we started coming to the Chathouse to begin with, to have fun chatting and meeting new people?

So the next time someone tags you, why not just take the five minutes to go into a new room with new chatters and have fun with it. There's hundreds of great people out there chatting away, and you could let an opportunity slip through your fingers.

In conclusion, Bond Girl me(f) and Bond Girl Ocey's mission wasn't a complete failure (not quite up to Bond Girl status though) because we did accomplish meeting two new friendly chatters *S*.

 Due to my involvement on a special article that will be posted separately and later this week. This article is a tad bit short.

 Those on the Ezine mailing list will be notified when the special edition is posted, and I'll also post a note in the Ezine Forum.

 For those that are not on the Ezine mailing list and wish to receive a note from our editor when the Ezine and specials editions are posted. Simply email our editor along with the address you would like her to send the  notifications to.              Email The Editor

Upcoming,
 
One major group of chatters from the Chathouse that we don't hear much from, or about, are the teen chatters and teen rooms. 
  So I've started roaming through the teen rooms and will continue to do so for the next few weeks. The teens, being such a major percentage of the chatters here and a major factor in our future outside of the Chathouse, I think we should be hearing alot more from them than we do. And from what I've seen so far, I think we should be listening to them alot more than we do!

My Favorite Forum post of the week
Does anyone know how I can get back the 15 minutes it took me to read all these forum posts? That would be great, thanks...*L*

From The Desk Of...
MichiganStorm™

Listen Free Online- While going through my email and trying to clean out the rubbage that has collected over the past few weeks since I last cleaned it out, I came across an email from a chatter that had somehow become buried beneath the junk mail. This chatter has been coming to the Chathouse since 1997 according to this email and asked us to check out a website. Well, this computer isn't exactly in it's prime when it comes to listening to radio stations live over the net or watching film clips either, so I didn't get to do much on the site but perhaps you might be able to. The site is described as having "FREE CD quality music from around the world!" Maybe, if you've a few minutes, you'd like to check it out? I tried, but didn't get very far I'm afraid. Support a fellow chatters website and visit www.shakewell.net!

Email- The above kind of helped lead up to this... I needed an email account for any and all of the Chathouse chatters to be able to email things in to the Ezine, so I chose a free one from Hotmail and posted the addy in the Ezine and some of the forums. Of course I'd post it out for all to see, if I didn't how would anyone know where to email? However, I didn't expect some of the things to happen via this email account that have happened and am slightly dissapointed in those who have chose to do what I'm about to explain. Perhaps some thought it a humorous joke? Well, you're the only one laughing! I expected minor problems with having an email address spread all over the place like that, but I'm not in the least smiling about some of what I've found in my Hotmail Email Inbox! I'm recieving all kinds of spam, I realize everyone has their problems with that, but that's not all. I went in my Ezine mail for the first time in about three days and there were 81 new messages!! EIGHTY-ONE!! The ones that I recognized right off were saved of course and a few of the questionable ones saved just in case they were from chatters, but most were deleted. As I sorted through my email I became more and more agrivated because most of the junk mailings were asking for confirmation on my email address and stating that I'd signed up for yet another newsletter I'd never heard of. I'd think who ever has been doing this, using this email addy to sign up for everything under the sun would be bored of it by now! Apparently not, simple minds are easily amused you know? Regardless, I can deal with that without having some sort of break down but one thing I do not believe in is Porn and guess what most of these junk mailings were? That's right, porn! Some even included pictures and several were asking for me to confirm my membership and stating that I'd signed up for whatever it was they were offering. All I want to really say is this: Grow up, PLEASE!

Gossip & the Chathouse- First of all, I'd like to say that for the most part I'm a firm believer of if it's not your business don't make it your business to make it your business. For instance I work in a factory and if you've ever worked in one or in a similar enviornment you know that gossip runs rampant there. Well, the other day a women I work with asked me a question about another women we both work with and my reply, as is almost always my reply when it comes to things like this was "I don't know, it's none of MY business!". I say it like that to TRY and make a point. When I do stick my nose where it may or may not belong I usually do so to either make a point or because the issue, event or person being discussed somehow effects me. I'm sure some of you reading this who know me are thinking, 'Michie sticks her nose in other peoples business all the time in the forum or diner'. Well, maybe I do, but compared to who? Compared to you? Compared to the person(s) who have tried to post home addresses of dear friends of mine in the public chatrooms, or their phone numbers or how about compared to those who have went so far as to do a person search on the net and called one of my "sisters" in their own home? I think not. Not only should people know when enough is enough, but they should stop once they've reached that point.

I was informed by a friend of mine who was in Joe's Diner one night not so long ago that two girls were talking about my (IRL) Cousin, who also chats there, telling people she was married. There were also other chatters talking about her mother, who also chats time to time. I'm guilty of saying things about other chatters in their absence as well, but I can't remember ever being as rash as some of the things I've heard others say. All I ask is that we all try to get along and by doing so we may have to follow a few minute guidelines- But is it really so hard to think before you type?

The Question-The cousin I mentioned is, in fact, not married, as if it's anyone's business but her own! And if she were, should or would this change the fact that she enjoys chatting? Should or would it change the fact that other's enjoy chatting with her? Would or should it change the way people react to her in a room? What do you think??

Friends in high places could provide you with the assistance you have been looking for. Associates will also be of assistance so make sure you are mixing with the 'in' crowd.

  Aquarius January 20 - February 18
Watch for power struggles in the office today. Keep your head down and stay focused. Your boss may be in a bad mood so try not to add fuel to the fire.

Pisces February 19 - March 20
Now is the time to think lateral. Others will look to you for inspiration so be prepared. Some of your outrageous ideas may prove to be effective when put into practice.

  Aries March 21 - April 19
You may need to revise current systems today. Something may not be working or has been outdated for a while so now is the time to do something about it.

  Taurus April 20 - May 20
You may find yourself strongly attracted to or repelled by someone today. There could also be some legal issues, so take care.

  Gemini May 21 - June 20
You may find yourself becoming intensely involved in your job today. You may probe beneath the surface on a certain issue and might not like what you find.

Cancer June 21 - July 22
A day for creativity, fun and pleasure. Plan to spend some time with children and you may learn a great deal from them. A time for reenergizing.

  Leo July 23 - August 22
Your attention will be on the home and family today. There may be some issues you need to deal with before they get too out of hand. It will be okay ... just take three deep breaths.

Virgo August 23 - September 22
A good day for communication. You may find yourself making a powerful alliance with someone who shares the same values as yourself so stay alert.

  Libra September 23 - October 22
Finances and how to accumulate more will be on your mind today. You may have a master plan that could prove to be quite successful if the details have been covered.

Scorpio October 23 - November 21
A high energy day for Scorpio. The Moon is in your own Sign and anything will be possible. Toss out the old and make way for the new ... you won't be sorry.

  Sagittarius November 22 - December 21
Today could prove to be challenging for the Archer. You may have limited energy for what will be required of you. Stick with it and just remember: Tomorrow is another day.
