The information tools I currently use are: Google (for pinpointing a specific question); Google Reader (checking on over 600 blogs); Pageflakes (for news and current events plus specific categories); Alltop (my magazine for topics); and Delicious (my bookmarks).  Several of these I can use to search for a topic, but then I have the tedious task of reading the posts and choosing the ones to use. Instead I wanted a one-click solution to finding links about a specific topic.

I have decided to use each of my 6 blogs to catalog relating links for the following main categories. Each post will be about a specific aspect of each of the following categories:

(1)  Changemaker: Reinventing Yourself— Link lists for spiritual/religion/spiritual practices

(2)  Answers By Email: Changemaker Personality Test—Link lists for finding your passion/career/work/employment

(3)  Changemaker Groups—Link lists for social networks/facebook/twitter/myspace

(4)  Changemaker Library—Link lists for social issues/causes

(5)  Healing for You–Link lists for lifestyle choices/voluntary simplicity/sustainable living/homeschooling

(6)  High Energy Goals—Link lists for health/wellness/fitness/food/diet/exercise

I am beginning this new adventure of being a blog indexer today, Jan. 19, 2009. I hope that my service may be an aid to your life online.

The moment that changed my life happened in a home for alcoholic women in 1976. I was in a discussion with Lois, another alcoholic from Brooklyn, and she was talking about her life. Midway through her talk, I felt intense warmth toward her and compassion flowed through me. The miracle was that I had had a very sheltered life and she had had a very tough life, but in that moment we were sisters and kindred spirits.

When I got up and walked outside, everything was different—trees, cars, the street—I saw everything with new eyes. It took me much searching to find out what had happened to me. In a book by William James entitled The Varieties of Religious Experience (1902), I found that I had had a radical conversion.

Did I answer a calling? I don’t know what happened to me except I knew that God had given me that compassion and love that I felt that day. I know that someone with an experience is never at the mercy of someone with an argument.

From that day until today, I have tried to accept the guidance that God gives me and it has been the most amazing journey. I don’t believe that God does more for me now than He did before that day. The difference is that I now can see the daily miracles. “Once I was blind and now I see.”

My agenda is to help others to help others. Specifically, I believe that each person has a core of goodness from birth. I also believe that this core contains our creativity which is the source of our joy. Thirdly, I believe helping anyone find this creativity is the answer for awakening others to the beauty of himself/herself.

My inspiration for the Changemaker blogs has come from having read many books over 50 years. What I’ve realized about our life today is that we have become accustomed to “sound bites”. To me this means that we can benefit from short directives instead of trying to absorb all the information in a book.

While I was researching for the Changemaker products, I found hundreds of books which were each filled with good direction. The problem is that we have less and less time to devote to even our own improvement. So I knew that short, to-the-point, easy-to-reference health information of all types would be a time-saver and motivator to even the busiest person.

My main complaint about ebooks is that I still have to manually enter the websites that are generally recommended in the ebook. For this purpose, I have taken all the information in the Changemaker ebook and put it on another blog, Changemaker Online, which is for sale at the same price as the ebook, $29.00. The new blog allows me to put all the extensive links in the ebook in an interactive format for quick use of the links.

You can buy either the ebook for a hard copy of all the information. Or you can buy a password-protected blog which has the same information as the ebook but is immediately interactive. You can buy either one of these or other new blogs coming soon through Pay Pal (an Ebay company) or the Google Checkout. You don’t have to belong to Pay Pal to use it.
