Day 270 - CD - Steel Drum CD - GONE!

I had a taker and they did not pick-up. Boo hoo. So, one of my blog followers snapped it up! Glad it has gone to a house that loves music!

Day 270 - CD - Steel Drum CD

Today I am giving away a steel drum CD. I bought this in Florida and thought it would be great. The problem is that it is exclusively instrumental and I wanted some vocals. The instruments just don't do it for me. And, my kids far prefer music with words. So goes life.........

Day 107 - CD of Wild at Heart by John Endredge - GONE!

I had a taker. Only one, but that's all I need!!!

Day 107 - CD of Wild at Heart by John Endredge

Today I am offering the book on CD of Wild at Heart by John Endredge. I don't know much about it. My MIL gave it to us and we burned it and are getting rid of it! I t probably has a Christian bent and is maybe about fatherhood - that'd be my guess...

Day 101 - CDs - GONE!

I was lucky enough to have one taker take all the CDs. That makes it easier than tracking down several people and ensuring they pick-up!

Day 100 - CD - Now You're Speaking My Language - GONE!

Yippie I got a taker. Dumbo, I forgot to leave it out for her. I am hoping she will give me her address and I can drop it off for her. I feel bad!

Day 101 - CDs

Another day of not being prepared! Perhaps it is because we had a big Easter dinner here and I've been running like a chicken without its head.

So, today I am offering some CDs that are sitting on the desk...
Jars of Clay - much afraid
Frank Sinatra - duets
Loreena McKennitt - book of secrets
Celtic Treasure - legacy iof Turlough O'Carolan

Hopefully at least a few will ogo!

Day 100 - CD - Now You're Speaking My Language

Today I am offering the CD - Now You're Speaking My Language by Gary Chapman. I have not listened to this CD - but have read the book - I found it to be excellent! I did burn the CD, so I've got it if I need it.

The book discusses the different ways you can demonstrate and receive love. It shows that you might be loving someone in a way that is not the language they prefer or best accept. Very interesting!!

Anyhoo... I am sure this will go!

Day 97 - Cocktail Music - GONE!

Wow were there a lot of people that wanted this CD mix. I am not surprised. Dave and I area always looking for good background music for a party or dinner and this mix is great for that!

Day 97 - Cocktail Music

Today I am offering a 3 CD set from Pottery Barn titled "Cocktail Trilogy". Some of the artists include: Dean Martin, Louis Armstrong, Jack Sheldon and Tony Bennett, etc.

This box set was given to us a handful of years ago. We have ripped the CD's and now listen to the music off of our iPods. It's great for background party music.

We sure hope this goes to someone who likes to entertain.

Day 78 - Handle with Care - GONE!

I am not surprised to say this audio book is gone!! I am still listening to it and can't stop!! It is good - I just want to know what will happen. I am on the 13th of 15 CDs - so almost done. But, it is on my computer, so I'll have it forever just in case I want to listen again.

Anyhoo... I think the reciever will enjoy it. I asked that she freecycle it after she listens to it - that way all the others who wanted it would have another chance of hearing it.

Day 78 - Handle with Care

Today I am offering the audiobook Handle with Care by Jodi Picoult. This is a 15 CD collection - which takes over 18 hours to listen to. So, you've got to really enjoying listening to stories to get through it. But, I really like listening to books - and can get through them faster than reading. This is a very new book, so I think it will go quickly!!

Day 47 - Audiobook: What Should I Do With My Life - GONE!

Well, another item is gone. It is just so nice when the process works right. I post, someone responds, I select a "winner" and they PICK UP! I am so happy to have a front porch right now with nothing on it!!! Success!

Day 47 - Audiobook: What Should I Do With My Life

Today I am offering the audio version of: What Should I Do with My Life? Apparently I don't know what I should do with my life yet, because I have not listened to it. It is on my computer and I'll add it to my to-do list, as it does look very interesting!!

What am I doing with my life today?? Being a mom and a Realtor. Taking care of my husband and my dog. Trying to give back one day at a time.

In What Should I Do with My Life? Po Bronson manages to create a career book that is a page-turner. His 50 vivid profiles of people searching for "their soft spot--their true calling" will engage readers because Bronson is asking himself the same question. He explores his premise, that "nothing is braver than people facing up to their own identity," as an anthropologist and autobiographer. He tackles thorny, nuanced issues about self-determination. Among them: paradoxes of money and meaning, authorship and destiny, brain candy and novelty versus soul food. Bronson’s stories, limited to professional people and complete with photos, are gems. They include a Los Angeles lawyer who became a priest, a Harvard MBA catfish farmer turned biotech executive, and a Silicon Valley real estate agent who opened a leather crafts factory in Costa Rica.

Day 38 - CD: Angels & Demons

Today I am offering the: audio CD of Angels & Demons by Dan Brown. During one of my long road trips with my husband we listened to ... almost all of it! We really enjoyed it, but not quite as much as the DiVinci Code - maybe it is because we did not listen to them in the proper order - we did DiVinci first. But, we did enjoy it. We burned it to our computer so some day we can finish it... We'll see when that will happen.

Day 34 - CD: "The Ultimate Collection" of Mozart - GONE!

Well, that did not take long at all!! Really, I got responses after just a few minutes. But, I am not surprised, a timeless classic like this is a winner for anyone.

Day 34 - CD: "The Ultimate Collection" of Mozart

Yet another Christmas gift we are recycling... Today, I am offering: The Ultimate Collection by Mozart on CD. We think Dave's mom or maybe dad gave it to him. We did burn it, so we'll still get good use from the collection. But, we just don't ever listen to the actual CDs.

Day 31 - CD: Breakthrough Leadership by Brian Biro - GONE!

Well, this CD is gone! But, his website has a lot of great FREE stuff!!

http://www.briandbiro.com/free-stuff.htm

And, here are some of Brian Biro's leadership quotes:

"When you step forward to serve others, which is true leadership, you can't help but grow."

"We are at best when we have a purpose bigger than ourselves."

"Coaching is about helping others discover, believe in, and act upon what they know."

"If it's not working, try something different - by asking yourself a new empowering question."

"People will do far more for and with others than they will do for themselves."

"When you truly listen, you let go of formulating your response while someone else is speaking. Then, you can easily slip into his or her shoes."

"As soon as you step back and focus on the big picture, you easily make new choices, discover the peace that comes with greater patience, and formulate creative, effective strategies to move in the right direction."

"To live a rich and fulfilling life it si important to become fully present with all you touch."

"Being present is not a technique. It is a choice that will enrich your life like no other."

"The past is history. The future a mystery. The gift is now. That's why we call it the present!" - Author Unknown

"There is something to value and admire in everyone."

"Open your eyes to the beauty you can discover in the human soul when you learn to move beyond judgment."

"Whenever we are fully present for others, we sing out to them that they are important."

"You cannot hope to bring out the best in others until you are fully present for them."

"One of the most powerful ways to build teams is to create moments of celebration."

"Look for the possibility in others rather than the limits."

Day 31 - CD: Breakthrough Leadership by Brian Biro

Well, it's been a month! Do you really think I can last 12 months??? I hope so!!

Today I am offering the CD: Breakthrough Leadership by Brian Biro. This guy is pretty cool. I heard him speak a few years ago and he is motivating. But, I've got it on my computer and no longer need to hard copy.

One of the exercises he had the meeting I attended go through was breaking a wooden board with your bare hands - karate style. First you wrote on the board everything you truly cared about - and what you wanted to change in life and then went at it! I broke my board on the second try. It was a very cool and inspirational seminar.

Day 26 - CD: John Rutter - FLOP!

FLOP :-(

So sad... I just don't think anyone knows show he is and has heard the music - it is pretty.

Oh well....
