Blogging to stop SPAM

Hi everyone,

Frequently, we receive emails from lots of friends with many c.c. email addresses.
Attached Emails are not secure, they can be read by other people, often by mistake & sometimes maliciously.
The email with many c.c. addresses is exactly what 'spammers' use to 'harvest' lists that they then sell to other spammers
To prove the point, using a spreadsheet I 'harvested' a list of more than 300 email addresses from TWO emails we received last week.
This took me about 15 minutes!
To prevent this happening in future, please use this blog to broadcast to all of your friends.

To use it is very simple:
1. Send me an email with the address that you will 'post' from
2. I will add you to the list and Google will send an email inviting you to join
3. Open a Google account with the details you wish to be made public
4. Start adding YOUR posts once Google says your account is open. Do this as often as you like
5. Tell all your friends to check http://AnOrganicLife.blogspot.com/ at least once every week
6. Tell all your friends to follow these 6 steps
As you will see from below, you don't even need to use you own name
Lets get our community talking

Attitude Determines Everything

I woke up early today, excited over all I get to do before the clock strikes midnight.
I have responsibilities to fulfil today.
I am important. My job is to choose what kind of day I am going to have.

Today I can complain because the weather is rainy or
I can be thankful that the grass is getting watered for free.

Today I can feel sad that I don't have more money or
I can be glad that my finances encourage me to plan my purchases wisely
and guide me away from waste.

Today I can grumble about my health or I can rejoice that I am alive.

Today I can lament over all that my parents didn't give me when I was growing up or
I can feel grateful that they allowed me to be born.

Today I can cry because roses have thorns or I can celebrate that thorns have roses.

Today I can mourn my lack of friends or
I can excitedly embark upon a quest to discover new relationships.

Today I can whine because I have to go to work or
I can shout for joy because I have a job to do.

Today I can complain because I have to go to school or
eagerly open my mind and fill it with rich new titbits of knowledge.

Today I can murmur dejectedly because I have to do housework or
I can feel honoured because the Lord has provided shelter for my mind, body and soul.

Today stretches ahead of me, waiting to be shaped.
And here I am the sculptor who gets to do the shaping.
What today will be like is up to me.I get to choose what kind of day I will have!
