“You cannot help the poor by destroying the rich. You cannot strengthen the weak by weakening the strong. You cannot bring about prosperity by discouraging thrift. You cannot lift the wage earner up by pulling the wage payer down. You cannot further the brotherhood of man by inciting class hatred. You cannot build character and courage by taking away people’s initiative and independence. You cannot help people permanently by doing for them, what they could and should do for themselves.”

Abraham Lincoln

Most of you know that I am the founder of Creative Tutors and a child of an Army Veteran. My husband Bill is also a part of the armed forces and is a Reservist Navy Captain in the JAG Core.

We are proud to announce that Creative Tutors has been accepted into the G I Jobs Military Franchise Program. Only 10% of the franchise industry has been asked to participate. Military Veterans are twice as likely to operate their own business as non veterans are, according to census data. In fact, one in seven businesses is owned by a military veteran.

Creative Tutors is proud to support our armed forces and participate in assisting Veterans in their desire to become small business owners.

Good morning. Below is from a message I received from my friend Jason DeLaPorte. Anything he puts his hands and mind to is awesome. I want to share this new itunes App that he has launched today with you... read below...

"We are launching the Social Styles App for the iPhone and iTouch through iTunes today. As you can imagine, we are very excited and need your help spreading the word.

Our desire is to allow everyone access to the most powerful app thus far. There is nothing else like it. Our intent is to impact people’s lives in a positive way by allowing them to take advantage of over 50 years of research in how people are wired. A tool for building more productive relationships in their pocket. Using a state-of-the-art algorithm, this tool will allow folks to profile Friends, Colleagues, Salespeople, Family, Significant Others, Children and Bosses. It will also give folks a customized approach on how to deal with each of these folks whether it be face-to-face, voicemail, email or specifically to their relationship. For example, if you profile one of your children it will give you parenting tips customized for the way that child is wired!

Watch the YouTube clip announcing the app!

Our purpose for developing this app was to:
1. Give folks a “tool in their pocket” to build more productive personal and professional relationships and in some cases repair them
2. Make people’s life easier
3. Build better leaders, better salespeople, better parents, enhance relationships with friends, family and co-workers

I am preparing a quick road trip with my daughters to Jackson Hole, WY. The girls and I will listen to the Books on CD from the Twilight Series to and from..... Last time we went to Jackson we listened to the Harry Potter Books on CD. It is something we love to do... listen to books on CD when we take road trips.

I have contacted http://reeldealanglers.com/content/aboutus.html and will plan to go fly fishing with Quincy the best Fly Fishing women ever! Quincy took me fly fishing my first time last summer and taught me so much... it was one of my most enjoyable outings I have ever experienced. Thus, returning to Jackson Hole means connecting with fly fishing again and having Quincy take me down the river teaching me every step of the way. Maybe this time I will be able to actually pull in my fish. Last time, I just "caught the fish" then because I was unable to pull it in the fell off my pole. Thus a new meaning to "catch and release" a term that made me look like a much better fly fisherwomen then I actually am.

Tons of fun!

We will also return to Yellowstone National Park. http://www.yellowstone.net/ we are planning to go into it from a new entrance so that we may be able to see different types of animals.

We will post while we are away... to let you know how much fun the trip is and what we are doing....

You need to plan the way a fire department plans: it cannot anticipate where the next fire will be, so it has to shape an energetic and efficient team that is capable of responding to the unanticipated as will as to any ordinary event.
