Mom Spreads Sweet Optimism
Delicious Chocolate Roses for Valentine's Day are Available from Simply Gourmet
Caren Dawkins countless hours working with parent and teachers organizations has long helped sweeten the lives of families in her community. She made attending PTA meetings a priority. As a concerned mother who raised a special needs child, she knows all too well about the need to have financially viable children’s organizations.
Now she makes it her business to help parent and educational organizations get a sweeter taste of success. The optimistic Dawkins is taking the leap of faith into online business with a tastefully developed fundraising website entitled www.SimplyGourmetFundraising.com.
The obvious recurring theme in Caren's life is patience and optimism. When she was encouraged to place her son, a child with special needs, in an institution instead of nurturing him with her love, she chooses to do the latter and has no regrets.
There is no mistaking that Caren Dawkins' optimistic approach to life is inspirational. "I thank God, that I was young and had the energy to be a positive, motivating force in my son's life."
Dawkins is referring to the challenges she faced raising her son who was born with Down's syndrome. Working nights gave her the opportunity to be with her son during the day, taking him to various therapeutic programs and actively participating in school organizations like the PTA.
It was her involvement with the PTA which allowed Dawkins to see the profit potential in providing fundraising products to schools, sports teams and other organizations. Ms. Dawkins offers high quality gourmet treats as fundraisers for childrens and educational organizations.
She also features sugar free delights and delicious products for important holidays like Valentine's Day, Easter, Chanukah, and Christmas. Take advantage of her tasty selections and treat someone special in your life at: Simply Gourmet Fundraising Products

Will Obama's Policies Positively Affect Small Business?
The new presidential policies of Barack Obama is giving hope to many sectors of the US economy. But will his policies also be good for small business?
We in small business hope Obama's message of hope will also materialize in a strong policy to help small business. Big business already has received a bail out from from the present administration.
But what about us in small business who are struggling just as hard to make a living? What will a Obama administration mean for us?
Obama seems to be concerned about the plight of small business people. And he should because small business generates about 75% of jobs in the US.
Therefore, small business also needs a stimulus package. Tune in tomorrow as we explore what to expect for an Obama administration he relates to the challenges of small business.
Visit www.BarackObama.com to get the latest policy updates.

Manage Business Related Stress with Prayer and Meditation
Hi Blog visitors, this is the last in a series on
dealing with business related stress with prayer
and meditation. You may ask what is the difference
between prayer and meditation?
While I don't consider myself an expert or guru on
either one of these subjects I will give you my 2
cents on the difference. Prayer could be described
as communicating or talking with God.
When we pray we tell God all about our life, goals,
challenges, wants, needs, etc. May be some of us
thankful ones will actually thank God for all our
blessings. People tend to ask God for a lot of
stuff with our prayers (me included).
While on the other hand with meditation we focus
more on experiencing the love of God. You don't
ask for a lot of stuff -- you simply focus on a
phase or chat like God is Love. You try to let
the love of God imbue you on a deep spiritual
level.
If you are really stressed out and can't go to
sleep at night try meditating to take your mind
off your problems. Meditation and Pray gave me
peace of mind when my doctor told me I had one
and possibly 2 forms of cancer.

Let Faith Inspire Your Business
Hello Readers, I realize in yesterday's blog
I strayed from my usual business finance and online
marketing focus. Why did I write from an inspirational
and spiritual focus instead?
The truth be told I did it for no other reason than
I was moved spiritually to do so. The spirit told
me someone needed to see what I was moved to write.
Since I received a lot of thanks and positive feed back
I will explore faith and business for two more emails.
This email will be the 2nd of 3 on business from a
spiritual perspective.
To be in business (especially these days) you have to
have faith because...
- 80% of businesses fall within a few years
- The divorce rate among entrepreneurs is very high
- entrepreneurs experience high stress and health
related challenges
Being in business takes vision, inspiration, and
a lot of preparation. There will be lonely days
and short nights.
If you don't have faith, belief, and a passion
that this is your calling in life you will be
swimming against the tide of success. Take my
advice and arm yourself with help from a higher
power.
Have a Blessed and Prosperous Day,
Kamau
