Critics welcome

Did I say that? Critics welcome. Yes. That’s what I said.
Szu Shelden is working with me to create a new web site.
Why should you care? Because the site will:
1. Give you fresh ideas every week.
2. Be highly interactive and open to your ideas.
3. Give you a new way of thinking about web sites.
4. Inspire you to innovate more on your own site.
Why would you want a more innovative site?
Well, duh. Who wouldn’t want to create excitement?
Who wouldn’t want to challenge others to think?
Who wouldn’t want to interact with other creative thinkers?
Who wouldn’t want to make a difference to others?
Who wouldn’t want to change the world for the better?
Don’t have a site? Don’t think you need a site?
Maybe you don’t need one. But I’ll bet you do.
Szu joins me in inviting you to see what we’re doing.
It’s a work in progress. Analyze it. Criticize it.
Tell us what you like. What you hate. What’s boring.
Join our creative team. Think like the genius you are.
It will spur your own creativity and innovative thinking.
To look at what we’re doing, please email me.
It's Jerry@JerryBellune.com
I’ll send you a link and welcome your comments.

Never let go

A recurring theme haunts my dreams.
I’m in a foreign country. I don’t speak the language.
I can’t read the signs. I can’t communicate.
I look and look but I can’t find my family.
Am I lost from my family? Is my family lost from me?
This alienation dream makes me feel guilty.
I feel I’m not the husband and father I should be.
Others have felt this guilt about themselves.
Here’s an example from the movie "Dr. Zhivago".
Near the end, Tonya meets her father’s half brother.
Comrade Gen. Yevgraf asks Tonya what happened to her.
She says she was lost from her family. How? he asks.
I was just lost, she says. How? he asks her again.
She says she ran with her father Komarovsky.
The city was burning. They ran for their lives.
In their haste, Komarovsky lets go of her hand.
That’s how I became lost, she says.
Yevgraf reveals a secret Tonya had not expected.
Komarovsky was not your father, he says.
"Zhivago was your father.
"Zhivago would never let go of your hand."
His message: Those who love you will never let go.
If you love them, don't let go either.
Don't neglect them. Care for and love them.
Do you ever have dreams like mine?
What do you think these dreams tell you?
If not, what dreams do you experience?
What is your subsconscious mind telling you?
Dreams are our inner minds talking to us.
It tells us about ourselves. Listen and learn.
