Life Purpose

SON: I've had enough of this crazy world.
MOM: What do you mean?
SON: I think I'm going to end it before life gets any worse.
MOM: What's so horrible?
SON: For starters my life has no purpose.
MOM: Hold on a second, if you weren't here who would take out the the trash?
SON: Alright, Mom, I'll take out the trash, but after that my life will have no purpose.
MOM: I'll need someone to put a fresh bags in the waste basket twice a week.
SON: Alright, but after that my work here is done.
MOM: That's the thing, this is an ongoing responsibility. It's not a one time gig.
SON: I'm not so sure you couldn't find someone else more dependable to fill that position.
MOM: Someone will also need to help me consume these groceries before they spoil. I can't do that without your help.
SON: What do I look like, a human garbage disposal?
MOM: We all have our gifts.

Another Enlightened Comic!

Thanks, Fran, for reminding me how much I like Shel Silverstein. Your post inspired some poetry writing of my own. After all a poet, artist, playwright, children's book publisher, comic and word smith ought to read up on such an Enlightened Comic!

Tryin' On Clothes

I tried on the farmer's hat,
Didn't fit...
A little too small -- just a bit
Too floppy.
Couldn't get used to it,
Took it off.

I tried on the dancer's shoes,
A little too loose.
Not the kind you could use
for walkin'.
Didn't feel right in 'em,
Kicked 'em off.

I tried on the summer sun,
Felt good.
Nice and warm -- knew it would.
Tried the grass beneath bare feet,
Felt neat.
Finally, finally felt well dressed,
Nature's clothes fit me best.

Written by Shel Silverstein

Dancin' 'Cause I Can

I walked on the road
'cause the sidewalk was icy wet.
As I was walking, I made up a little dance
that hasn't caught on just yet...
It's two steps forward
a slip and wobble to the left
and an deep sigh of relief.
Then the dance starts up
all over again.

In a couple of days new dance steps are added
sloosh, slosh SPLASH!

In the spring
when my fever for fresh air and sun light is high
It's stroll, stroll
twirl with the peach blossoms
that dance in the breeze
Caught in step with me!

STORY: Two Pictures

A friend reunited with his college sweetheart after 25 years.

“I finally figured out the secret to a successful long term relationship,” he proclaimed, “take a little break in between!”

Then he showed me pictures of them when they were engaged at 23, and a picture taken shortly after they rediscovered each other, after a total of six kids and two failed marriages. He asked me which picture I liked better, prefacing; the ladies say ‘you two look good’ and the guys say ‘she looks great.’ What, what do you think?

After viewing both, I emailed him, “I’m rooting for the couple in the picture taken last weekend!”

How Do You Re Set Your Universal Remote?

Remember the Adam Sandler's movie "Click" that illustrated what could happen if we really did have a Universal Remote?

We would experience what we habitually wanted for better or worse until we reset the program? Oh, I almost forgot, we do have one!

What are some of the ways we can re set our own Universal Remote? - (Something that Obama and others are demonstrating in big ways) that then broadcasts our favorite Love channel, Money channel, Comedy Channel, Health channel, Relationship channel, Adventure...

Humm... That's a powerful question. Send me a word or two on how you reset your Universal Remote. I'll post my favorite responses with special web links back to your site as part of this online user guide and I'll tell you what I did to reset my universal remote from lonely to meeting my beloved husband, broke and attracting $20,000 out of the blue and other cool client examples of how they reset their universal remote in one coaching session to enjoy more prosperity, abundance, laughter, powerful connections and joy! Some are quicker at re setting the remote than others but the instructions are the same. Thanks!

I'll be posting responses till December 1, 2008. Send me your response today!

Dan reset his "love" remote in less 14 days

Thanks Ruth for helping me to clarify in such a positive way exactly what I want in my life.” (14 days later) There is so much abundance. I really feel in sync with the Universe. The Universe and I are flowing together. My needs and intentions are being met in the most unpredictable and fascinating ways! Love and blessings, Dan -Dan Harvey, PhD, College Professor

Michael loved his "love channel" six moths later

Earlier this year, I decided to contact Ruth to try something different. I was divorced 3 years ago and was having no luck meeting someone new. I had tried many of the internet dating sites, blind dates and matchmakers. No matter what I tried, I was just not meeting the right person. I have to say up front, that I am an Electrical Engineer and Ruth's work does not fit into my logical way of thinking. I decided to try scripting anyway, because I had nothing to lose... read HOW he reset his "remote" I met my soul mate just like the script said and she is everything I have been looking for. The most amazing part is that she just showed up in my life with no effort on my part. I have no doubt that reading this script over and over again put me in the right place spiritually and physically for me to meet my soul mate. I can't thank you enough Ruth. -Michael Cristofalo, Electrical Engineer

I'm Not A Comedian But I tell Jokes In Real Life

For years I had secretly imagined myself writing bits for mostly male comics and gravitated to Robin William, Seinfeld, Steve Martin, Jay Leno, Steven Colbert, George Carlin, Chris Rock, Dave Chappelle and Dinnis Miller. I'm almost embarassed to say my worst inner critic distinctly sounds like Jim Carrey.

My earlier comical female influences included Goldie Hawn, Woopie Goldberg, Lily Tomlin, Bette Midler and just in general my all time favorite lady, Meryl Streep. I loved the way these people boldly framed the world through their distinct perspective.

Recently, I had a wake up call to the new generation of comics who had slipped my radar since dare I say, my husband and I unplugged our TV over a year ago. Hey that's what You Tube is for, right? While writing the opening scene for my screenplay "Five Rites" (where the leading lady gives a light hearted speech to her family the day she introduces her fiancé) I began researching female comics. A whole new world of humor and style opened up for me.

Over the last three years my own comic voice has come through as I've actively taken the funny , insightful moments in my life and jotted them down in a sketch comedy format. Lately my husband has been encouraging me to "put it in the joke file"

Then it dawned on me, I am writing for my favorite comics as I went back and wrote in their voice I heard in my head. Now that's comedy. So I'm starting a movement to maintain or restore sanity. It's called write your story down and then assign a comedian who would be great at telling your story as if it were their own.
