Community Garage Sale

Does anyone know if we are still going to have a community garage sale? If so, was there a weekend set?

The Secret - Daily Inspiration!

Ask, Believe, Receive - just three simple steps to create what you want. However, very often the second step, believe, can be the most difficult one. And yet it is the greatest step you will ever take. When you master believing, you have mastered your life.

To master believing, all you have to do is tip the balance of your thoughts, words, and actions, from 'not believing' to believing. The ONLY thing that can ever get in the way of manifesting what you want, is having more thoughts of 'not believing', speaking more words of 'not believing', and taking more actions of 'not believing', than you are of believing. Base the majority of your thoughts, words, and actions in believing, and the law of attraction must obey you.

Believing contains no doubt. Believing does not waiver. Believing is absolute faith. Believing remains steadfast despite what is happening in the outside world.

The Secret

I don't know how many of you have seen the movie "The Secret" or read the book; however, I personally think it is a very, very good story. I am going to start posting some of the daily messages that I receive that are inspirational. Here is the first:

To allow the Universe to move you in your life to happier and better things, you are going to need to look around you and appreciate the good things here and now. Seek the beautiful things and count the blessings of where you are. Dissatisfaction will not bring the happier and the better into your life. Dissatisfaction roots you to the spot where you currently are, but appreciation for what you have attracts the happier and better to you.

Remember that you are a magnet! Appreciation attracts appreciation!

May the joy be with you,

Author: Rhonda Byrne

Child's body found in Wylie park 12:04 PM CT 4/15/10

Has anyone heard about this??

12:21 PM CDT on Thursday, April 15, 2010

Wylie police said a child was found dead this morning in the 1900 block of Skyview Drive, in a park by Lake Lavon.

No details were immediately available; it was not known whether the child was a boy or a girl, nor was the possible manner of death disclosed.

The body was found around 9:10 a.m.

Police said they planned to brief the news media later today.

The park where the body was discovered is East Fork Park.

Business Cards?

Not sure what the need is for business cards for our community. Are we advertising or selling something? Is this primarily to get more viewers to the blog? If this is the intent, it sounds like a good way to attract more viewers; however, it doesn't sound like a safe practice for our community.

Thoughts or Suggestions?

OOPS! from the Mayor

I'm not an experienced 'blogger' so forgive me for not 'signing' the article about Charles Teske. It was me. OOPS!

Let's Hear it for Charles Teske!

Hey all,

Just a reminder that the fund at Lavon Water Supply that takes care of paying for the watering at our entry-way is getting low. If you could pay an extra $20 or $25 toward this effort, it would be much appreciated. I believe the account Charles Teske set up is titled Bently Farms Entry - check with the water department. Please try to make a contribution within the next several weeks - actually, mark your calendar for once every 6 months and we should be in great shape and lookin' good, too!

Charles, our neighbor in the cul-d-sac area, has graciously taken care of this area for us as well as handling some mowing at 135 Bently in order to help keep our neighborhood having 'curb appeal' and helping to protect our property values.

Charles is running for City Council, place 5. Paul Slay is not running for his seat again and Charles is one of two candidates signed up for that spot. My endorsement goes to Charles. I know you know him! If you don't, it only takes 5 minutes to see what an unselfish and committed man he is to his family and our community. I ask you to please spend the 5 minutes it takes to vote and give him our support! It makes a HUGE difference - you can do that!

Early voting begins the week of 4/26 - Monday through Thursday, 7 to 6. On May 3rd and 4th, early voting is from 7 to 7. All at City Hall. Election Day is Saturday, May 8th from 7 to 7 in the council chambers at City Hall.

I am so proud of all of you for your involvement in the community that is Lavon. No matter if your opinions and ideas all agree or not, you speak your mind. You are exercising your rights as a US Citizen.

As a last note, we sold the house at 1096 Meadow Hill. Closing date is 4/16 - be sure to go meet your new neighbors!

Business Cards?

I am having some business sized cards made up for Bently Farms with our email address and blog address. I am going to hand these out to everyone in the neighborhood.

I also was thinking if any of us here in the neighborhood have business cards of their own they would like me to include in handing out, please get them to me by the end of April. It's an easy way to advertise! Business cards are more likely to be put on the refrigerator or in a wallet. Flyers we hand out quickly find the garbage if it's anything like my house!
