Letter from the Editor

How exciting it is to be selecting mate-

rial for the second issue of VIM (Ve-

gas Interactive Magazine), our digital

interactive magazine. The popularity of e-zines is

currently escalating but downloadable content

still remains a virtually untapped growth market.

As with many new and experimental ventures

some have surpassed expectations and some

have failed miserably. We recognize that our read-

ers are online as well as offline; our publication is

geared toward people that like to communicate in

both ways. Our digital interactive magazine is de-

signed with content that holds the interest of our

readers with an attracitve format and interesting

information that keeps them engaged and coming

back for more.

Due to the overwhelming response we re-

ceived from both our readers and contributing

writers, we seem to be doing something right!

In this month’s issue you will find articles that

pertain to business and financial literacy. It is

important that we begin to talk to our children

early about financial literacy,

i.e., working and saving. It is our

responsibility as parents to make

sure they understand that their

financial future is in their hands. Do

you know how to find the gratitude

in your life? We will assist you in

your journey since gratitude is the

greatest determining factor to your

obtaining a life filled with love, joy and prosperity;

other words for Success.

No one wants to think about the end of life, but

we must. We are sharing with you, our readers, ed-

ucational information referencing the importance

of estate planning and the legal aspect of doing

just that. We also have information if you are in-

volved in a nonprofit organization or you would

like to start one, you’ll enjoy part one of a five-part

series, “How to Create a High-Impact Nonprofit Or-

ganization”, begins in this issue.

For our literary family of readers there is an

interesting but controversial book review of “Act

Like a Lady, Think Like a Man”; written by come-

dian, Steve Harvey. We also invite you to enjoy our

special “spoken word” artist, Woody Woods. Most

people only hear him play and sing, now he is tak-

ing his feelings and lyrics to another

level. This particular piece he has

shared with us will really make you

think, emotionally speaking.

Music is either soothing or brings

excitement; you get both from the

blended, hallowed voices of the Las

Vegas Mass Choir, directed by James

R. Smith with special guest Pastor

Beverly Crawford. Pastor Crawford is an Evange-

list, Stellar Gospel Music Award winner and JDI

Recording Artist. Between moving performances

of “Victory Comes” and her number one hit “He’s

Done Enough”, Crawford ministered on the im-

portance of balancing our lives, loving you, giv-

ing your higher power thanks for what he has al-


ready done and that praise is our ultimate weapon

against the enemy – wow, sounds like part of the

journey toward ‘gratitude’.

We do our best to make sure we have fun and

provide thought provoking articles in VIM, i.e., en-

tertainment information, places to travel, commu-

nity highlights, beauty tips and hair tips – speaking

of which, we have always been advised to drink

water to hydrate and cleanse our bodies – tip of

the day, we should increase our water intake espe-

cially during the summer to keep our hair moistur-

ized and lips looking fresh.

There is so much hidden talent in Las Vegas!

National artist Dorothy Allen, “Too Blessed to Be

Stressed”, has lived in Las Vegas since 1942; paint-

ing, drawing and creating. We are delighted to

share her story with you. We will also revisit the

true meaning of Independence Day, also known as

the Fourth of July; we’ll consider how immigrant

families have prospered, how fireworks were first

formulated in China and remember what it truly

means to be an American.

So what are you waiting for? Read on to be en-

lightened, entertained and empowered .

Financial Literacy & Your FamilyBy Andrew Williams, Jr.

Talking to your kids about money re-

quires that you explain the concepts in

ways that young minds can understand.

When our young people realize that money deci-

sions determine 90% of the decisions they make

in life, such as whether or not they can afford to

spend time with their friends; where they buy their

clothes; whether they can purchase one music CD

this week or two, the concept of saving and having

money will become very clear and important.

Here is a simple overview of how to

begin the conversation with your kids.

Start the conversation by explaining that there

are two ways to make money; people at work and

money at work. People at work is when one actu-

ally works a part-time job, i.e., cutting the lawn,

cleaning the garage or doing dishes to earn mon-

ey. Most adults work full-time, about 40 hours a

week, 50 weeks a year, for an average of 30 or 40

years. Money at work is when a portion of every

dollar you have earned or received is saved or put

aside. If you invest it wisely, this money can make

money for you.

Our students can start learning about stocks,

mutual funds and other investment vehicles, from

the following sources:

* Parents.

* Talk to your school about setting up an

investment club.

* Visit web sites about investing for minors

* Have a goal; perhaps it is to retire at age 30 to

take the pressure off your folks and pay a por-

tion of your own college education, or to save

enough money for your first car.

* Decide the amount you need and the date

you want the money to be available.

* Include your children in saving for the future.

Lets discuss a number of options.

* Develop a system for you and your child to

put money aside on a regular basis. For example,

your child has a job and has set a goal to have

$500 for a new ___ (you fill in the blank) two years

from today. That means (ignoring interest your


money may earn) you need to set aside just under

$4.81 a week (4.81 x 104 weeks = $500.24).

* Figure out where the money will come from.

Some minors take a percentage of everything they

earn or receive (such as 20%) and put it toward

their wealth-building goal. Others talk to their par-

ents or grandparents about “seed” money (an ini-

tial amount of money invested to build wealth).

* Select investments that

interest your child, whether

it is shares of their favorite

apparel store at the mall,

electronic game manufac-

turer, computer, etc. When

an individual buys ten

shares of, for example, Dell

Computers, explain that this

makes your child a part own-

er in the company. That is also why some minors

put companies such as Disney, Nike, The Gap and

McDonald’s on their stocks-to-study list.

* Stick with quality. That goes back to doing

your homework as a parent. Remember, the goal

is to make money, not lose it. Find a company you

and your child like and that looks to be a quality

investment. Keep in mind that with any invest-

ment, there is the risk of losing money. Steer clear

of hunches or companies that simply have names

that sound intriguing.

eracy (http://abclearnmoney.org), I am honored

The Science of Human Behavior:Reading People Like a Book

By Kimber Bosley, Author & Consultant

Suppose you are at a party and an attrac-

tive person catches your eye? You walk up

to that individual and introduce yourself

but that person does not shake your hand firmly

and barely makes eye contact. However, the facial

expression of the individual appears to be caring

and friendly. You are enjoying the warmth, which

this person exudes and continue to chat but still

observe the lack of eye contact from this person

of interest. Eye contact is very important to you so

you begin to take offense or presume the worst by

telling yourself, “maybe this person is not being

honest” or “perhaps I am not charming enough” or

“I am not going to waste my time, I am leaving!”

Many of us may have experienced or can re-

late to this particular scenario, which is why gain-

ing insight into basic Human Behavior Science is

useful and essential in our everyday lives. First, it

can help eliminate the countless assumptions one

typically makes during communication by allowing

one to receive and process information efficiently.

For instance, most of us could easily think that a

loud and dramatic person may have consumed an

excessive amount of alcohol, unaware that this is

the person’s normal behavior. Secondly, it acts as a

remedy when it comes to poor judgment. Take for

example a student sitting in the back of the class.

Someone can immediately conclude that sitting in

the back of a room is a sign of disinterest.

So what does basic Human Behavior Sci-

ence mean? Thanks to popular TV shows such as

“Lie To Me”, viewers are not only entertained by

Dr. Lightman’s character and his team of experts

but they observe how these detectives find out if

someone is being truthful or dishonest. But that is

just one aspect of Human Behavior. It implies more

than just uncovering deceit or honesty; it means

discovering the what, why, and how; what peo-

ple do, why they do it and how are they doing it.

Although human behavior is compiled of many

different behaviors, we tend to deal with the

most frequent components on a daily basis, i.e.,

our emotions, body language, attitudes, opin-

ions, and personality. In essence, we encounter

people who are dominant, inspiring, shy, and

competent.

Recognizing one’s personality type is the

stepping-stone to understanding human behav-

ior. So how can one achieve this? Completing a

DISC Personality profile or assessment can assist

others with this accomplishment. Furthermore,

such books as, Communicating Silence: What Our

Wordless Messages Reveal, discusses how DISC

Personality types communicate nonverbally, act

as a guide to help people gain insight into com-

mon human behavior, thereby making it easier for

people to read others.

Kimber Bosley is the Author of“Communicating Si-

lence: What Our Wordless Messages Reveal” and is in

the process of writing a second book, entitled “All

Things To All People”. www.kebtraining.com

Independence Day, From Where I SitBy Lillian McMorris

“Where liberty dwells, there is my country”

Benjamin Franklin

For most Americans Independence Day

is a day of memories and celebrations.

Each year a very close friend of mine of

Swiss heritage tells the story of his father coming

to America to pursue the American Dream. The

American Dream to him was to become a farmer.

His father was a Swiss Immigrant who was natu-

ralized as an American after he was drafted into

WWII and was forced to return to Europe and

become part of a routed Army. On many occa-

sions, more soldiers were killed in the rout than

in actual battle. Being a blessed individual, this

soldier survived and returned to America and

married his Iowa sweetheart, started a fam-

ily and became a successful farmer. He lived to

the ripe old age of 92. Most of us do not have

such a story to tell and realize the real history

of Independence Day also known as the Fourth

of July. Thus the truth in the statement of Ger-

aldine Ferraro, “If you take advantage of every-

thing America has to offer, there is nothing you

cannot accomplish.” All too often we forget we

are a nation of immigrants; America has opened

its doors when others closed. We brought in the

tired, and the sick. We have helped an undeter-

mined amount of people around the world. We,

the American people, stand for liberty, freedom

and democracy.

The “Fourth of July” is a federal holiday com-

memorating the adoption of the Declaration of

Independence, which was signed on July 4, 1776.

This declaration is the documentation of the cel-

ebration of the colonies’ separation from Great

Britain; therefore we honor the birthday of the

United States of America. A myriad of celebra-

tions are commonplace across our nation on

this date. Many public and private events occur,

political appearances and speeches as well as

ceremonies are planned and executed. Fami-

lies attend parades, community fairs, picnics

and barbeques celebrating the birthday, history

and traditions of the United States. Decorations

which include streamers, balloons, and clothing

are generally colored red, white, and blue, the

colors of the American Flag. Parades are often

in the morning, barbeques in the afternoon and

fireworks displays occur in the evening at such

places as parks, arenas and back yards.

Fourth of July or Independence Day Celebra-

tions are not complete without the fireworks dis-

plays. The documentation of fireworks date back

to 12th century China, where they were first used

to frighten away evil spirits with their loud sound

and also to pray for happiness and prosperity.

Pyrotechnicians were and are well-respected for

their knowledge and skill in mounting dazzling

displays of light and sound. These displays are

now an intricate part of the Fourth of July cel-

ebrations across the country. America’s earliest

settlers brought their enthusiasm for fireworks

to the United States. Fireworks were used to cel-

ebrate important events long before the Ameri-

can Revolutionary War. The very first celebration

of Independence Day was in 1777.

We must remember that the 4th of July is more

than fireworks, parades, cookouts and an oppor-

tunity to display the American Flag. America and

Americans stand for liberty, justice and freedom.

We as Americans have paid and continue to pay

the price of and for freedom over and over again,

and will continue to do so. Freedom is not free;

it comes with a price tag. Jefferson said it best,

“The price of freedom is eternal vigilance.”


Where there’s a Will, there’s a Way!By Bonnie Rivera, Esquire

Plan for your future!! This is one piece of

advice that is actually true…planning for

when we are no longer around or are in-

capable of speaking for ourselves, is necessary to

protect your loved ones, but it does not have to be

expensive or intimidating. Estate planning can be

a complex and daunting task, which is why most

people never do it. However, you don’t have to

be rich or own property, an estate plan will sim-

ply provide your loved ones with guidelines on

how to conserve and distribute your assets, even if

they are only a book and some clothes. Be warned

that in many states where people die without a

Will, the state is allowed to make these decisions -

would you want the state making these important

and very personal decisions? Also, keep in mind

that because these are personal documents, they

will be deemed as valid in all 50 states even if an

attorney does not prepare them.

A typical estate plan can contain

one document or many; it

depends on your wealth, your

family and your financial

needs. An estate plan can

include many different

documents - Wills,

Codicils,Trusts, Durable

Power ofAttorney, a

Health Care Power

of Attorney or

Living Will, etc. Also,

many states accept a holographic

or non-written Will as legal. A basic Will

covers the disposition of your personal property

(bequeaths) to whomever you name and can also

have favorable tax consequences for your heirs.

You can also name someone as the Executor, who

has the job of ensuring that your Will is properly

followed. It may also include provisions for your

children and naming a Guardian. Be warned that

you nominate this person(s), but a court may

make the ultimate decision in some cases. While

this is an unpleasant thought, your will can also

include specific instructions for your funeral. This

can actually help your loved ones by providing

explicit instructions based on your final wishes.

These carefully prepared documents along with

a healthy life insurance policy can

make a big difference in

ensuring that your

family and possessions

are maintained and

distributed in accordance

with your wishes.

Another important

document to have is a

LIving Will also known as an

Advanced Directive or Health Care

Directive. This document provides

instructions for health care providers

and your family in the event that you become

incapacitated or unable to speak for yourself. It

can outline specifically what actions should be


taken for their health in the event that they are

no longer able to make decisions due to illness or

incapacity. This document can be very basic and

can be prepared without an attorney.

Preparing estate-planning documents has be-

come easier these days, as you do not need an at-

torney!! There are many great online Will prepara-

tion programs, books, computer software, which

are all effective in creating this legal document.

These programs also include other estate plan-

ning documents so they are a valuable invest-

ment in your future. Websites such as legalzoom.

com, suzeorman.com and nolo.com, to name a

few, have estate planning software available that

is very simple to follow; just pay careful attention

to the instructions regarding witnesses, signatures

and notarizing.

Should you have any questions or other legal

concerns, please feel free to email Bonnie Rivera,

Esquire, at [email protected].

America’s Paradise Travel

By: Christy Cason, ACC

Owner Cason Travel & Tours

St. Thomas is one of three islands that com-

prise the US Virgin Islands (St. Thomas, St. Croix, St.

John). Affectionately known as “America’s Para-

dise”, St. Thomas is a unique blend of island music

and American practicality. As Capital of the island

group, the green mountainous St. Thomas offers

every sport imaginable – snorkeling, flight seeing,

golfing, hiking and sailing to name a few. From the

beautiful scenery to the unsurpassed sunsets, St.

Thomas is as inviting as a cool, Caribbean breeze.

During the First World War, US forces feared

St. Thomas’ perfect port area might provide

a dangerous base for German forces. The US

purchased the Virgin Islands for $25 million in

gold. Prosperity showered the island. In the 1950’s

the island became a tourist mecca and enjoys that

status today. More than one million cruise ship

guests visit St. Thomas every year to enjoy the duty

free shops, historic attractions, pristine beaches

and friendly locals.

The capital of St. Thomas is Charlotte Amalie;

the island covers an area of 32 square miles with

a population of approximately 56,000. English

is the official language and the U.S. dollar is the

official currency of the Virgin Islands. St. Thomas

is the bargain shopping bazaar of the Caribbean.

You will find excellent buys on luxury items such

as fine jewelry, watches, leather, island rums and

perfumes. Visitors also enjoy authentic St. Thomas

wares such as local Cruzan Rums, fine wines,

tropical resort wear, coffee and coffee liquors, all

duty free.

The beaches in St Thomas are beautiful and

plentiful. Magens Bay Beach was listed as one of

the world’s ten most beautiful beaches by National

Geographic, Morning Star Beach has an open air

restaurant and bar with windsurfing available and

Sapphire Beach is great for snorkeling, parasailing

and other great water sports.

Visit St Thomas with Cason Travel & Tours, LLC

on a 7 night Southern Caribbean Cruise November

8 – 15, 2009. Ports of call are: St Thomas, Dominica,

Barbados, St. Lucia, Antigua and St. Kitts. The ship

How to... Create a High-Impact Non-Profit Organization (Part 1 of 5)

By Andrea A. Woods, MA

Many people have attempted to

establish a nonprofit organization

that can provide a service that is

not being filled based on community needs. As

defined by a demand-side stakeholder, these are

people that feel so strongly about the quality of

the service provided and protection from moral

hazard that they decide to exercise control over

the delivery of service themselves (Achier, 2005).

Once the mission of the organization is estab-

lished and warranted, the next most important as-

pect in the creation of a high impact nonprofit or-

ganization is the Board of Directors. Most people

do not realize that being a board member is more

than sitting at a table and providing idle discussion

about the relevant cause. When choosing a Board

member, the idea is to find someone that can pro-

vide a myriad of resources that can be utilized by

the organization continuously.

There should also be a Development Director

that can provide the necessary programs to gener-

ate funding (other than grants). The ideal

donor database should list donors that

have pledged a specific amount of

money to the organization for a

minimum of five years. A Finan-

cial Planner could also

help the De-

velopment

D i r e c t o r

implement

ongoing rev-

enue streams

for the organiza-

tion. Any government rules

and regulations pertaining to the nonprofit

should be researched, abided by and implement-

ed through a Governmental Affairs person.

The generation of a high impact nonprofit or-

ganization will possess the tools needed to ensure

its target market receives the goods and/or servic-

es that are required for success.

The Need for Nonprofits

The need for nonprofits has been proven to

be very beneficial to those in need of community

based services. People that are in the nonprofit

sector have the desire to provide for those less

fortunate. They have a selflessness that

is very honorable; something many

people do not have.

There are several specific

types of nonprofit organizations:

voluntary associa-

tions, foun-

d a t i o n s ,

and faith-

based orga-

n i z a t i o n s .

V o l u n t a r y

associations are

private, membership-based

organizations in which membership is non-

compulsory. The modern foundation is often as-


sociated with the rise of the large grant making

foundation in the US in the early twentieth cen-

tury, and its replication in other parts of the world,

particularly in Europe after World War II. The faith-

based organizations are specialized organizations

formed by church clergy to help meet the human

service needs in its congregation. They tend to be

multi-purpose organizations that perform a wide

range of functions, from operating homeless shel-

ters, food banks, and neighborhood centers, to

running job training and transportation programs

(Achier, 2005).

We have many nonprofits in our country. As

citizens we believe in helping our communities

in times of despair. Due to the need to help, the

focus on the organization has to be the mission,

as well as the target audience. The overall

community necessities will remain the same, but

the organizational type will help in determining

the needs.

tative for ‘Positively Kids’

”Lip Service”Healthy Lips

Smooches !!!

Our lips are made for smiling,

talking, eating and sometimes

biting when nervous; but I be-

lieve they were made for kiss-

ing…now ask yourself do I want

to look at, feel, touch or kiss dry/

cracked/chapped lips?

In the summer it is very

important to maintain healthy lips since one may

encounter increased burning. During the summer

one may have dry, chapped or cracked lips. Dry lips

may split and bleed causing immense discomfort.

Be reminded that our lips do not have the layers of

protection that the rest of our bodies do, they are

more sensitive and require specific care.

Moisture and proper care is necessary for soft

and healthy lips. This care can be achieved by uti-

lizing some of tips below:

• Use lip balm to promote healing and preven-

tion of chapped lips.

• Ensure your body is not deficient in

B vitamins, iron or essential fatty acids.

Deficiencies can cause scaling of lips and

cracking of lip corners. You may want to

consult with a physician or consider

taking a multivitamin/mineral

supplement.

• Hydrate your body by drink-

ing plenty of water. Dehydra-

tion can cause dryness of

lips. Increase your water in-

take during the summer to

keep your lips looking fresh.

• Rule out allergy to lipstick dyes.

• If in spite of water intake your lips seem dehy-

drated, apply cool wet cloth to hydrate lips. Also

try to seal in the moisture with a lip balm. Apply

lip balm every hour or two to treat dry lips and to

keep them healthy. Using a lip balm with SPF of at

least 15 will save lips from sun damage.

• Licking your lips; it will cause more chapping.

• Lip lickers also tend to be lip biters. Biting lips

removes their protective covering which causes

further drying.

• Use a soft toothbrush to softly buff your lips

to remove the deposit of dead cells that will cause

more drying and flaking.

• Creamy lipsticks can act like balms and

prevent your lips from chapping.

Avoid using lipsticks that

can dry out your lips.

• Ordinary Vaseline

prevents sun blisters if

applied before venturing

into the sun.

While keeping lips moistur-

ized is vital for lip health, fashion

is still a must!

Below you will find some helpful lip-

stick tips:

• If you’re wearing heavy eye make-

up, do not wear dark lipstick; wear a light gloss or

lip color.

By Esperanza


• When balancing unevenly shaped lips, use

lighter colored lipstick on the smaller-sized lip.

• For lipstick to last, fill your lips in with liner.

• To keep lipstick on while eating, do not put

your lips on the utensils; allow your lower teeth

and tongue to do the work.

• If your lips are full, do not use lip color that is

glossy or shiny.

• If your lips are thin, do not use lip colors of a

very dark shade as it makes your lips smaller.

“Too Blessed to Be Stressed” Artist ~ Dorothy Allen

By Lillian McMorris

National Artist, Dorothy Allen resides

in Las Vegas, Nevada. She has lived

quietly in both Las Vegas and North

Las Vegas since 1942. Allen is known for her

“Too Blessed to Be Stressed” characters that are

whimsical portraits exuding purpose and

meaning. Each year published and sold

nationally are her 16 month calendars,

address books, journals, prints, original

watercolor paintings and figurines.

Mrs. Allen, 75 years young never looked at

painting or being an artist as a career, she simply

enjoys sketching and painting. Allen has a special

way of transforming the colors of life into the art

of living. She calls her art “humor art”, Allen states

she likes to make people laugh. “Too Blessed to Be

Stressed” characters make people think and smile,

they are real characters in humorous situations.

She can be described as sweet, quiet, very spiri-

tual, calm spirited, funny and extremely artistic; all

of these adjectives are a part of her artwork.

Allen loves to create; most

days you

w i l l

find her lying across

her bed sketching and painting.

When she takes a break from her sketching and

painting she is tending her garden, (where she

grows fruits and vegetables) or playing with her

over active miniature Chihuahua.

Ideas for her art manifest themselves in all

situations. One might see Mrs. Allen at a local

restaurant or at church sketching her next

character; that simple sketch will soon turn into a

beautiful, positive humorous painting.

Believing in the simple life, she often

draws on past experiences for her

settings. Family, friends and people

on the street shopping, eating

singing and dancing are models.

To her painting is not ‘working’, it

is relaxing and enjoyable.

Most of her original paint-

ings, calendars, journals, ad-

dress books and figurines

are on display in her home.

Mrs. Allen is still actively

creating and is interested

in displaying and selling her products,

specifically her original paintings. In the past Allen

has been commissioned to do murals and various

window decorations, although time consuming,


she finds larger projects enjoyable and gives her

the opportunity to utilize her larger than life skills.

National Artist Dorothy Allen can be contacted

through Your RESOURCE, 702-752-7385 or email

your query to [email protected]. Mrs.

Allen is available for interviews and showings; she

How to Play the Game... The Secret to the Law of Attarction

Wealth begins with-

in—yes, regard-

less of all the tips

and tricks out there you’ll be hard

pressed to find a successful person

to disagree. Whether you believe

in your Self or a Higher Power,

wealth doesn’t depend on Web

2.0, SEO, PPC, Adwords, or CPA.

Wealth comes from the inside out! Real wealth is

what’s left over when all the money is gone. And

to top it all off-it’s a game – the game of life!

Live in this State, and I don’t mean Nevada!

First, realize that the secret to the law of

attraction is being in a state of gratitude. It’s

the fuel for the fire. Gratitude IS the secret, it is

everything. It is your attitude that attracts people

in every aspect of life, from business to your soul-

mate, and it is the winning attitude you must have

to play the game of life.

Gratitude is the greatest determining factor

to your obtaining a life filled with love, joy and

prosperity; in other words, for Success. If you are

not living in gratitude, how can good things come

your way? It’s like this; who wants to give gifts to

someone who is ungrateful? No one!

Secondly, knowing that gratitude is the

secret to the law of attraction, how do you get

it? Start by stating you are willing to lead a life of

gratitude. Then, just be grateful for anything and

everything.

Being Open

Most of all, take it easy on yourself. Quit beating

yourself up, quit judging yourself and others. Tell

yourself ’I am enough, I approve of myself.’ We are

what we think about and what we feel about most

of the time. It is spiritual law, scientific reality; all

you have to do is open your eyes to find another

book, movie, Oprah article or Ellen guest talking

about your relationship with you.

Once you act on these first steps you’re in

the game and what you might consider miracles

will begin to take place in your life. Keep a

journal for, what in the beginning, may seem like

coincidences. Remind yourself that success leaves

clues. Watch for these clues, record them, and give

thanks. By tracking these clues you are stockpiling

ammunition for the internal and external chattering

that would undermine your success. Misery loves

company. Disregard negativity, without regard of

its origin.

Observe your underlying motives-your inten-

tions must be to the good of you and everyone else

involved for your path to be unobstructed. Make

changes in your actions, be conscious of even the

little things that make a difference even if no one

ever knows the good you’ve done.

This is all part of your Eternal Guidance System.

Never resist or get mad at thoughts or situations.

Think of a pesky fly, brush it away and say, “I am

grateful. I trust, expect and allow the greatest good

for me and everyone involved in this situation.”

Responding this way in itself is success. Remind

yourself that all things work together for good…

By Raenel Breucop


Play the Game

Win by visualizing that you already won. You

are already a success, already dining at the best

restaurants, helping your favorite charity, visiting

that foreign land, building homes for the home-

less. See that award hanging on your wall for En-

trepreneur of the Year, or Top Franchise of 2009.

See yourself accepting the awards, the trophies.

Hear the voice over the phone saying you won

the trip to Belize for top sales. Practice until the

feeling of success buzzes throughout your being.

Soon you will recall that success feeling without

recalling a specific incident. The goal is to recall

past successes so often that the success feeling be-

comes an auto-response habit and a way of life.

Having a hard time conjuring up a feeling of

success? Switch to thankfulness, a sincere lump in

the throat type gratitude that you got when your

baby was born, when your child first called you

mama or daddy. When someone you love lived

when they could have died. Find that thought—

make it a ‘trigger’ thought. Rush to it when oppo-

sition is strong and you want to feel better. Con-

centrate on that feeling; hold onto the picture in

your mind and completely immerse yourself in the

scene-the SWITCH! Switch to the scene where you

are accepting the award, winning the trip. Practice

this technique to get those feelings with your vi-

sualization.

“Master your thoughts and your feelings and

you will become a deliberate creator of your life.

That’s when miracles begin.”

Jack Canfield

Our excuses, blaming, judgments, defensive-

ness, explanations, justifications are all meaningless

to a world that spins calmly by without giving you

the time of day. Imagine you’re watching a poker

tournament and the loser of the hand tosses his

cards and as he stomps off, he’s cursing, making

excuses, “I didn’t get enough sleep last night, my

cat died, my parents were lousy poker players so

I’ll never be any good at it either”...no one cares

what a complainer says. Never complain, just stop

it today.

Your subconscious is your servant, your wish is

its command. Become a student of yourself and

learn how to steer your life directly toward your

goals instead of hoping it’s going to be okay.

Write the success story of your life, read it over,

rewrite it without negatives, until it’s just the way

you want it. Keep writing it every day and your sto-

ry will come to life. This is what winners do. They

rehearse successes of what they want their life to

be and then they believe it before they see it.

Decide today to drop all judgmental and

criticism habits. Quit throwing obstacles on your

pathway. Pay attention to your life. Change your

mind, ask for help, learn to be grateful and you

will see the miracles in your life sooner than you

think. When you realize you have control of your

life you’ll wonder why you waited so long. Start

with an attitude of gratitude.

Five Years of SuccessThe Las Vegas Mass Choir

By Lillian McMorris

The Las Vegas Mass Choir (LVMC) began

in 2004 when renowned Choir Master

James R. Smith was contracted to

audition, select and develop a 15-voice ensemble

from the Las Vegas area. They have since set the

standard celebrating five years of faithful and

dedicated service. Mass Appeal was the choir’s

first nationally distributed CD; this was completed

in April of 2005. The Las Vegas Mass Choir is

currently a common name on gospel television

and radio networks throughout the United States

as well as corporate conferences and conventions.

The Choir has traveled to perform throughout the

United States and to the Melbourne Jazz Festival

in Australia. Over the years the LVMC has received

numerous awards and commendations for their

captivating performances of inspirational music

and ministry.

Currently the Las Vegas Mass Choir is

performing monthly at the House of Blues Sunday

Gospel Brunch at the Mandalay Bay Resort on the

historic Las Vegas Strip. In May of 2009 the Choir

was honored to be the opening performance

for a reelection mega-fundraiser for US Senator

Harry Reid featuring President Barack Obama. The

fundraising event was held at the Colosseum at

Caesars Palace, the LVMC performed with the likes

of Sheryl Crow, Bette Midler and Clint Holmes.

The 5th Anniversary Celebration of the LVMC

was absolutely stellar. Las Vegas Mass Choir

presented a flawless evening of celebration with

special guest Beverly Crawford. There was not a

bad seat in the house, due to the spacious staging

and big screens at Ebenezer Church of God in

Christ located in Las Vegas, Nevada. The evening

opened with a resounding prayer that touched the

hearts of all that were present. The choir marched

in dressed in hues of purple and gray. The 25

blessed voices were simply ‘teamwork in sound’,

loads of energy, singing, dancing and ministering

through music.

Choir Master and Director James R. Smith

stated, “ … the LVMC sings to bless others, there

is a message in every song … they give the gift of

music.” The gift of music was also available to the

deaf, each song and all commentary was signed.

It was phenomenal to watch Victoria Gordon,

Director of Sign Language Ministry and Interpreter,

Bessie Mason, sign during the event.

For the five years of blessings and successes,

the Las Vegas Mass Choir received Proclamations

from Clark County Commissioner Lawrence

Weekly signed by the entire Clark County Board

of Commissioners, Mayor Oscar Goodman and

the City Council; both proclaiming May 23, 2009

as Las Vegas Mass Choir Day in Southern Nevada.

The choir also received a personal letter from

US Senator Harry Reid, which was presented by

Regional Representative, Ida Gaines.

The outstanding performance and ministry by

special guest, Pastor Beverly Crawford, topped off

the evening, accompanied by the hallowed voices

of the LVMC and their remarkable musicians.

“Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man”Steve Harvey, Author

Book Review by Rosemarie McMorris

Steve Harvey’s new book, Act Like a Lady, Think

Like a Man advertises itself as being a book that

will tell the reader, “WHAT MEN REALLY THINK

ABOUT LOVE, RELATIONSHIPS, INTIMACY, AND

COMMITMENT.”

Throughout the book, Mr. Harvey appeals to

the female readers involved in every spectrum of

a relationship; from those who may have just met

someone, to those who have been dating for a few

months, to a woman who has been in a relation-

ship for years. There is also advice for single wom-

en that are thinking of getting back into the dating

scene.

Harvey answers questions most women have

asked:

• Why do men cheat?

• How do men love or rather show their love?

• What/how do men think?

Upon my initial completion of the book, I felt a

sense of knowledge; almost as if I had been given

some clarity for the relationship I was in. There ap-

peared to be hope and I found myself being more

patient and understanding of the things that had

once bothered me. In doing so, our relationship

improved briefly and I could tell my partner was

a lot happier.

It was not until I heard the point of view of two

men who had also read the book that I started to

think differently. These men (one in his early 30’s

and his father) did not like the book and disagreed

with what Mr. Harvey was saying. They felt that

men still know the difference between right and

wrong and should be held accountable for their

actions. A friend of mine, agreed with what the

book was saying, but stated, “Steve is giving away

all of our secrets…that’s not fair, it’s messing up

our game!”

Act Like a Lady, Think Like a Man is a good/easy

read. It was a page-turner and extremely enter-

taining as Steve Harvey’s humor comes through.

Although humorous the reader is able to recognize

when he is being serious. Even if you do not agree

with what the author is saying, it does give you a

male perspective on some of the most common

questions asked in relationships. I have found that

there is some basis of truth/fact in what is stated.

The book makes sense and at the very least can

be placed into your arsenal of knowledge and give

you an alternate viewpoint and allow you to make

your relationship decisions from a more informed

position.


There’s Nothing Grim About... Michael Grimm

By Amie Jo

Most Friday and Saturday nights at 6 pm, you’ll

find one of Las Vegas’ biggest secrets perform-

ing in the Ovation Lounge at the Green Valley

Ranch Resort. If you’re blessed, you’ll enter into

the presence of Michael Grimm and the Delta

Bound Band.

Be prepared to have fun and rock the house;

because you will be blown away and enchanted

by the easy, soulful style of Michael Grimm per-

forming classic hits from several genres includ-

ing, but not limited to Rock, Blues and Country.

I entered the lounge when he was belting out,

“I’m So Tired of Being Alone” made famous by

Al Green. That song set the tone for me and it

was uphill from there. When I heard those words

coming out of his mouth, I knew a man that tal-

ented would never be alone!

Michael went on to lavish the crowd with

“Bang, Bang”, and one of my all-time favorites, “You

Don’t Know Me” by the memorable Ray Charles.

No offense to Ray’s fans, but he sang Ray’s song

almost better than Ray. That’s a bold statement,

but we’re talking triple-threat here! Michael’s a

great vocalist, talented guitarist and writes music

as well. As talented as he is, Michael wasn’t alone.

He was accompanied by an outstanding 9-piece

band and was backed up on vocals by Miss Nikki

Logan, voted in 2008 by the BMA as “Best Neo Soul

Performer”. In tandem working the harmonies with

Nikki was 4th Season American Idol Contestant,

Be Soul. Together they created an awesome lis-

tening and dancing experience.

At the break, I stopped in backstage to say

hello and by his own admission, Michael said,

“I’m a simple man” but don’t let his hu-

mility fool you; he’s a dynamic

and gifted performer with

passion and grit that’s reflect-

ed when he performs. He knows

how to reach inside to grab your

heart and soul.

His repertoire is so varied; I couldn’t

put my thumb on where I thought he

deserved to be. When asked what genre

he fell into, he came back with; “Americana”.

Simply put, Americana is an amalgam of roots


music; specifically the sounds that are fused by the

union of folk, country, rhythm & blues and rock &

roll. By definition, it’s just the coolest music on the

music scene today.

I also tried to figure out who he reminded me

of most; Rod Stewart, Ray Charles, Michael Bolton?

I finally concluded that he reminds me most of Mi-

chael Grimm: a soft-spoken, exceptional artist who

gets the job done from start to finish. For a com-

plete listing of his appearances and a sample of his

outstanding music, check out his website at: www.

VIM’s Poetry Corner Imagine by Woody Woods

Imagine there’s a person who is beautiful and rare And that this special person has peace instead of care

Imagine every step they take is toward the Light divine And the rhythm of their movement is set in perfect time Imagine there’s a person whose life is filled with joy And they’re aware of all the gifts the Master has in store And everyday in every way they’re receiving more of what their heart desires and what they’re longing for Imagine that the melody of every song they sing is harmonized by angels and makes the heavens ring Imagine, as they travel the Spirit lights their way And someone’s life is touched by theirs each and every day

Imagine there’s a person whose skies are painted blue Imagine there’s a person who knows just what to do Imagine there’s a person whose dreams are coming true Then, imagine that person is you
