I’ve been having some fun creating stuff for my Zazzle gallery.
Of late, I’ve added a biking / cycling design and making bumper stickers and mugs so far. T-shirts and other fun stuff will be added this weekend.
It’s amazing how easy it is to make all kinds of stuff nowdays, without needing to own any specialized software. It’s all there at the reach of a keyboard. And Zazzle certainly isn’t the only one. Now that I’m playing around with it, I’m finding links to other sites similar or with their own little angle, where you can equally make all sorts of fun product.
The biking / cycling designs are part of an Outdoor Living series. So far I’ve got snowboarding and cycling and will eventually cover all outdoor sports. Anything to do with the outdoors, though mostly self propelling (rather than motor boats for example).
I am also doing a twice monthly special in the Top Pick section. On the 1st and 15th I’ll choose a new item to be greatly discounted for the following 2 weeks.

What would you do if money were not a factor, if you could do anything you wanted to?
What gets your heart racing when you think about it? What are your passions? What do you want to accomplish more than anything else in this life time?
These are the questions I have been asking lately. There are no easy answers. Or rather, there are plenty of answers, it just seems like there are no easy way to go about them. It’s a little scary actually, pursuing a passion.
Why? Because it means being committed to it no matter what.
It means taking responsibility for whatever happens. It means there is no pointing fingers and blaming this or that in my life as being the reason I’m not doing what I really want to do. You see, if I choose to fully commit to pursuing my passion, then it is a choice I must make completely and wholeheartedly. There is not half way possible. Either I do it or I don’t. Either way, I choose and I take responsibility for it.
It’s a lot easier to remain in status quo and blame lack of time, lack of knowledge, wrong acquaintances, wrong place, wrong job, etc. etc. It is a lot harder to recognize that none of these excuses are valid, that if I really want something, it is up to me to go after it and make it happen.
There are plenty of people out there in the world who make it through apparently insurmountable odds and come out on top. Why is that? It’s because they made it their passion. The fire fuels it.
These are the questions going through my mind.
I am at a time in my life where I have put off doing the things I truly want to do out of fear. Fear of the unknown, and most of all, fear of failure.
I am working to change that.
Further details to come here and on my new blog: 60 Second Commute

I promised you a new squidoo lens yesterday… drum roll…
I am particularly excited about this one, as you’ll see when you pop over and take a look.
The link –> http://www.squidoo.com/WF3D
I setting things in motion and already seeing results. It’s nothing short of amazing, I can tell you. I can see the light at the end of the tunnel, with complete freedom soon and wow, what a feeling.
Think about this for a moment. What are you relying on in order to pay your bills, and eventually retire when the time comes? Do you think anyone is coming to help you? who? The government? Think again. Not even social security will be around for long, not with the talks going around about selling it to private companies and turning it over to the stock market. How much sense does that make?
Nope. No one is coming to the rescue. You are your own knight in shiny armor and it is up to you to provide for yourself and your family.
That’s what I’m doing, along with a lot of other people. Check the link.

I have neglected my squidoo pages of late, though they seemed to fair well without me.
My best performing lens remains the one on Eco-Dome, which I love because this is really a fun one. it’s got some great videos that show the entire process, and one by the founder of Cal-Earth Institute and creater of these particular domes, Nader Khalili.
I am getting back into it, with a couple lens in the making… you’ll have to wait to find out on what.
In the mean time, you can also hop over to my lensography and check out the entire list for a refresher.
