Some people focus too long
On the path they once led
Never looking toward the now
The present and what it holds
Turning into a thorned leaf
Never knowing how to unwind
Always causing a sharp pain
Where you least expect…
While loosing everything you hold dear
Barely reaching for success
Drowning within yourself
Simply look for the Path of Light
Let your thorned self release
And allow yourself to be
A friend to all…

Halloween Decorations
Decorations, Decorations, Decorations. Halloween is a time for decorations. If you are on a budget, some of these ideas will come in handy when it comes to decorating for Halloween.
The first thing that you can do for decorations is to create a Graveyard. What you will need are brown paper sacks and a black permanent marker. What you will do is write on the brown paper sacks names and RIP. Then put two sticks on either side of the sack and stick them into the ground. You could also do this with cardboard.
Another decoration that is quick and easy is a Jack-o-Lantern. What you will need to do is get paper plates and a sheet of paper. Scribble orange color on the paper. Cut out two circles for the eyes. Then cut out a funny looking face. Glue them onto the plate to make a Jack-o-Lantern.
If you have a white trash bag, grab this out. Take the trash bag and cut strips in it. Stuff the bottom of the trash bag with old newspaper or paper to make a head. Draw on two eyes and then let it hang. This has now become a ghost.
Now, if you are into something a bit more creative, get a balloon, white yarn and some fabric stiffener glue. What you will want to do is blow the balloon up. Dip the yarn into the glue and let it air dry for a minute or two. Drape the yarn over the balloon and let it dry. Continue to do this until you have the balloon almost completely covered. Once everything has dried, stick a needle into the balloon to pop it and then remove the balloon. Now you have a standing ghost for a decoration.

Halloween Crafts
Halloween is a time to have fun and be creative. There are times when you want to be able to create the perfect Halloween costume or perfect Halloween decorations, but there are also the times when you want to have some fun creative Halloween crafts. There are a lot of different things that you can make for Halloween crafts. Crafts can be a number of things. Crafts can take a lot of detail or just be a simple thing that creates a unique item. Here are some of my favorite crafts for Halloween.
HOMEMADE HALLOWEEN FOAM GHOST OR PUMPKIN
The first thing that you can create is a ghost or pumpkin made out of foam. Buy the color of foam paper that you want and cut out your choice. Then take another color of foam paper and make a face or clothing. This allows you to get creative and still have fun while making a quick craft.
HOMEMADE HALLOWEEN WOODEN IDEAS
If you know how to work with wood, you can make a variety of things. You could make a ghost to hang up against the wall or you can make a fun Halloween sign. Wood allows you to make just about anything. Once you have chosen the type of item you want to make, draw the design on the wood and begin cutting. Once you have cut the wood, sand the edges to ensure that you will not get any splinters. Grab some wood paint and start painting the wood the colors of your choice. Let it dry and hang it up for decoration.
HOMEMADE HALLOWEEN CANDY BAG
Every child wants to have that special candy bag that nobody else has. This is a fun craft that will help create what your child wants. Take an old pillow case and give them puff paint. Let your child paint on ghosts or pumpkins or witches. Depending on their age, help them write Halloween or Trick-or-Treat onto the pillow case. Put stars or brooms or moons; allow them to decorate it any way they want. Be sure that you decorate both sides of the pillow case so no matter where you look, there is always something fun to see.
The main thing that you need to remember when making crafts for Halloween is to have fun. It is important to remember that the more fun you have, the better the crafts will turn out.

About Christmas
Christmas parties are coming into full swing. It is important to always remember to have great decorations for your party.
Tinsel is a wonderful thing to use for Christmas party decorations. It can be used for table decorations where you simply place the tinsel in the middle of the table. After the tinsel is on the table, place a candle or a figurine on top of the tinsel to complete the look.
If you are not a tinsel fan, then take some garland and put it down through the middle of the table. Garland is usually a lot larger than tinsel, so I do not recommend putting anything else in the middle of the table.
Twinkle lights are a must for a Christmas party. Twinkle lights bring the festivity level up for everyone. You can place twinkle lights on certain tables, such as the head table or the serving tables. After you have this, you can line the entrance with twinkle lights.
Everyone knows that a Christmas party isn’t a Christmas party without a Christmas tree. Get a small tree and place it towards the corner of the room. Decorate it with ornaments and then take some empty boxes that are wrapped and place them underneath the tree. If this is a more intimate party, place real gifts under the tree.
Christmas party decorations are always available. If you have windows that you want to decorate, look at all the window decorations. Place them all over the windows to add a special something to the look of the area. There are stockings and pictures that are always available. Pick up some of these little trinkets and items to add to a unique aspect for you party.
Icicle lights can be found just about anywhere you look for Christmas party decorations. The thing about icicle lights is that you can place them above a door or above a dance floor to cause a fun affect for your guests. The icicle lights fall down causing you to think there are icicles or stars falling down all around you.
Another great idea that you must have for Christmas parties is candy. Candy in beautiful Christmas bowls or stockings will always be a great hit. Everyone knows that during Christmas time, there is going to be a lot of goodies to eat. Don’t let your guest down by not having candy available.
The number one item that you must have for any Christmas part is mistletoe. You should place mistletoe above any and all doors that are available to enter or leave during your party. This is a color addition to what you have and it gives people a fun tradition to follow.

The Sugar Busters Diet
Everyone wants to loose that extra pound these days. It is important to look around and find the appropriate style of dieting for you. Remember that dieting usually does not do enough by itself. It is important to add exercise to your daily routine to ensure that you loose weight.
The internet is full of many types of fad diets and diets. It is up to you to choose the appropriate style of dieting to loose the amount of weight you want. One of the diets that you can find is called the Sugar Busters Diet; a diet created by Leighton Steward and a cardiologist. This diet believes that the answer for overweight people is that sugar, not fat, is what causes us to add pounds.
The idea of this diet is that you will cut out all sugars from what you eat. It is not simply the candy bars and cakes that you cut out, but all types of sugars including potatoes, bear, pasta and others. They tell you to stay away from processed food as well.
While you avoid starches and sugars, you will learn to eat differently. You will want to eat lean beef and chicken. You will learn to eat lettuce and squash. Another item that you will eat is low-fat dairy products. A lot of the different fruits and veggies are allowed as well.
Sugar Busters Diet has you say good-bye to white bread, corn, pizza, snack foods, and sugar, but that doesn’t mean that you can’t get a treat now and then. The main thing that you have to look for in a treat is sugar-free. There are many sugar-free treats that are being sold everyday. You can also turn to NutraSweet items as well.
Rules are always something that people have a hard time following. This diet has a few rules, but they can easily be followed. One of the rules they have is that you drink fruit juice before your mean. This seems pretty simple to me. You can not skip a mean because it will actually affect the blood sugar level, so that is a very strict rule. They do ask that you eat snacks but the snacks have to follow a specific guideline.
Portion control is the main idea that Sugar Busters preaches. It is important that you have a balanced portion on your plate so you don’t feel like you need to go back for seconds. A lot of people tend to eat way too much sugar every day as it is, so another plus with portion control in the Sugar Busters Diet is that you are pretty much guaranteed to loose weight.
While a lot of dieters are focused on the amount of weight they loose, it is always important to remember that loosing small amounts of weight makes it easier for you to maintain weight. This diet is not for the type of person that thinks they can loose 40 pounds in 10 days. This is a life changing diet that will allow you to slowly and efficiently loose weight. Sugar Busters gives you the guidelines to long-term weight loss and becoming a healthier individual. If you start this diet, be sure that you are going to be in it for the long haul so that you can see the results begin to happen on a slow and steady pace, so choose wisely.

FICO Score
The credit score is a way to decide the creditworthiness of a person. The credit score sis a number based on the statistics of a person’s credit file. It is based on the credit report information. The credit score is used for banks and credit card companies to help them decide if you are a solid investment or not.
The FICO is the most widely known type of credit score. The FICO score was developed by Fair Isaac Corporation. Many different mortgage leaders use this FICO score to decide the chances of a barrowers default. The FICO score is the most common credit score used by lenders.
The FICO score is determined by five different things. These items help evaluate the chances of a barrowers chance of default. The first thing that is used is your payment history. If you have a long history that shows that you have made payments on time, then your FICO score will be high. The main idea is that with a good payment relationship to those places you owe money will gain you point in the FICO score.
The second thing to determine your FICO score is your level of indebtedness. If you are about to max out all your credit cards, your FICO score is lowered because you could risk a late payment. The third determining factor is the length of your credit history. If you have accounts that have been opened for a very long time, your credit score will go up. This shows how good you are with keeping track of accounts.
Along with old accounts comes new credit. FICO scores take into account how often you apply for credit. If you open a lot of new credit accounts, you will lower your credit score. It is important to remember that the more inquiries you make, the greater risk you take for lowering your FICO score. The last item the FICO looks at is the type of credit that you are using. All the credits you have are considered.
The FICO score will not consider a lot of things when it comes to calculating a score for you. They do not look at your race, religion, national origin, sex, color, sexual orientation or age. They also do not care if you are married or single. It is bias free and is scored only by what your credit shows. The FICO scores will allow you to get loans, credit cards, or a mortgage. It is important that you take care of it and always try to raise the score.
