May God bless your coming days with His mercy,

It seems a bit presumptuous to be sitting here writing an introduction to a great ebook about one of the luxuries of our times, while at the same time over one million of our citizens of the Gulf Coast states are homeless and on the verge of sickness and starvation. 2005 Hurricanes Katrina and Rita take us all to the mountain top for a re-examination of what is really important in life and what is purely superficial. In a twinkling of an eye, so to speak, all the material things that we worked so hard to gather and build are destroyed, reduced to absolute rubble in one swift act of Mother Nature. Suddenly and almost without warning, the basic necessities of life are stripped from our grasp. No sanitary facilities, no clean drinking water, no food and no shelter are the norm for the first week or so following this national disaster. And, it seems to many that there is no hope and nobody coming to the rescue. We are left with only our Faith to sustain us and to get us through the calamity.

As the flood waters subside, we will return to normalcy and life will go on. We will be rebuild our lives and our fortunes, this time with a firmer foundation and deeper resolve than ever before. Katrina is truly one of those "significant emotional experiences" of our lifetime that will alter our personal, sub-conscious value system. Whether we realize it or not, we have all been changed by this event, just as we were by 9-11.

Let us all return to the more simple, less complicated lifestyle of courtesy, graciousness, kindness and thoughfulness for our neighbor. Let us turn our faces, once more, towards our God and acknowledge our insignificance before His almighty power and ask for His forgiveness for our pompousness. Now IS the time to admit we are creatures in His universe and to seek our rightful place in all creation. Yes, your choices today still determine your outcomes in the future, but now you can make better, more informed choices that lead to better outcomes.

"How do we acheive that less complicated, gracious living life style?", you may ask. It surely won't happen as suddenly as a category 5 hurricane blowing up in the Gulf of Mexico, but it can take place over a period of time with proper planning. Begin the improvement with one small area and others will follow.

One thing is for sure about human beings: we all need to eat and drink to survive. Starting with this element of truth, let us begin to make the time of eating and drinking a more meaningful experience, with less stress and strife. Let us add some class to the mealtime -- good conversation, good and wholesome food, and good table service. Yes, put on the cloth table cover if you have one. Or, put out the best placemats. Decorate the table service with your own beautifully, hand crafted napkin ring complete with its own history of sports events or lasting memories. Cloth napkins are not necessary; paper napkins or paper towel will do just fine! It is the "little extra mile" that will make the place setting look festive.

Start with what you can do easily and without much stress; then, work your way up the food chain from there.

Let us start with paper materials that are scheduled for the recycling plants or landfills and do our own "recycling into paper crafts". I will show you a simple and easy way to do this that will amaze you with its simplicity. Even if you have never done anything like this before, you will be a success. I guarantee it! In fact, if you believe that you are a complete failure, just send me your completed work and I will replace it with my own creations. You cannot lose because in going through the process, you will find yourself transforming into the more gracious person you are seeking. The process of creativity and creation is like that -- it's transforming! And, you will have these beautiful artifacts to use time and time again.


For the past ten years, I have been developing the recycled paper crafts process. This spring I tried it with my 7 year old neice and she was able to duplicate the idea by the end of the afternoon.

Right now I am offering to give you the Goof-Proof step-by-step plans you need to virtually guarantee you can make it happen. Just read along with me and you will see what I mean.

“Go ahead, catch your breath, relax and have your credit card handy!
You will need to act quickly before you have second thoughts!".

It’s one of those “good news, bad news” stories:

First, the good news…
We all have the same 24 hours a day as everyone else on this planet! There is no special premium offer or bonus pack of time that you can receive for good works or good looks or extra cash. It's all the same, just 24 hours. The body physically requires about one-third of that time to rejuvenate and rebuild itself during sleep. So, you are left with two-thirds to do your work, your play, your planning, your recycling and your prayer.

So, if anyone can do it, YOU can do it.
But here is the bad news…
Everyone and everything is screaming for your time and energy. There are more things to do than ever before in that tiny two-thirds of your day. But I will show you how to enhance the table setting, reduce your recycle trash, combine prayer in the process and have more quality time for the things that count. It's like having your cake and eating it, too!
I Gotta Have It Now!
