~~~new stuff!!~~~

maybe when you really love yourself you can see beyond that self - and then maybe you never give yourself away. maybe you just give. some believed in her.
others did not.
she joined the circle of believers
and rejoiced with them.
honor yourself do you really think i can do it? he asked. there are no limits, she said. none. when you truly trust - deep down "you trust no matter what" trust, the limits fade away and you travel to unknown places. there's just one thing you need to decide. do you really want to travel?

~~~did you know??~~~

we hear 'oh, i didn't know!' quite a lot when it comes to some of the things we offer. so we thought
we'd give you a quick list of some things that seemed to get missed.

did you know??--we have a whole bunch of free e-cards available! our very own zakk redid the service,
so it's all a bit more organized over there now! check them out here!

did you know??--we offer a free e-book for you to download! we've got such a good response to it, that we want
to add more. definitely on our to-do list! but first, we need to make sure everyone who wants this
one has got it!

did you know??--recently we started an 'offering of the week' that will give you a discount on a specially picked
bone sigh every week! you can find that right on our homepage, upper right side. here's the

link to this week's pick!

did you know??--right under that offering of the week on the homepage, we now offer weekly audio recordings,
sit down and have a cup of tea and listen to terri ramble about her latest thought...

did you know??--terri's got a blog where she rambles away...sometimes sharing silly life happenings, sometimes
walking thru her latest ponderings, always with the intent to share real.

did you know??--there's TWO facebook pages to join us at! one is the personal, goofy one where terri goes to
play and have fun, the other is the business spot where new happenings and things get announced.
we'd love to see you at either place or both! come be part of our lives!

did you know??--we offer a free quote of the day that gets mailed to your email box daily (except on weekends)
there's no fees and no one's sharin' your email with anyone else. it's just us here, so there's no worries
about that stuff. you just sign up right on the home page.
