Gary Halbert

I was going through some of Gary Halbert's Newsletter archives and came across this excerpt from "A Return to Love" by Marrianne Williamson. I like it and thought that I would pass it along for your enjoyment.

"Gary was one of the most brilliant copywriters ever. He passed away not long ago".

Most liked and respected him but some others didn't agree with his presentation and style.



“Our deepest fear is not that we are inadequate. Our deepest fear is that we are powerful beyond measure. It is our light, not our darkness that most frightens us. We ask ourselves, Who am I to be brilliant, gorgeous, talented, fabulous? Actually, who are you not to be? You are a child of God. Your playing small does not serve the world. There is nothing enlightened about shrinking so that other people won't feel insecure around you. We are all meant to shine, as children do. We were born to make manifest the glory of God that is within us. It's not just in some of us; it's in everyone. And as we let our own light shine, we unconsciously give other people permission to do the same. As we are liberated from our own fear, our presence automatically liberates others.”
from "A Return to Love", by Marianne Williamson.

Health Insurance

I believe that health insurance providers practice being aggrevating about paying claims.

My stepdaughter is in school and is on my insurance policy through my employer of 20 years. I have paid extra to carry her for six years because she makes it necessary to carry the family plan.

She was instructed by her dentist that her wisdom teeth would have to come out. He arranged for an oral surgeon and the teeth were extracted Monday of this week.

I received a paper from the insurance provider that the claim submitted by the surgeon was rejected. It seems that they need more information to verify that the surgery was necessary.

Dah!! I don't know of a lot of people that gets wisdom teeth extracted just for kicks. There again, why didn't they send the questions to the surgeon.

Just another of life's little pissers to cause aggrevation. Guess we'll see how many threatening letters from the surgeon and how long it takes to get this resolved.

A Great Attitude from Junior

"I always look at everything as whatever happens happens," Earnhardt Jr. said. "You do the best , 100 percent every day and do my best. The good Lord's going to take me wherever I go in life. I'll be fine. I'm going to win races."

This is a quote from the Charlotte Observer's David Poole's column.

A true sportsman and good human being and gentleman.
