			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I&#8217;ve come up with a cool idea!  Actually, it&#8217;s turning out to be a bit of a hit with the family.</p>
<p>We have 4 adult members living in our house&#8230;there&#8217;s Selwyn and myself, my son Trent and his girlfriend, Cassi.</p>
<p>I believe in all of us pulling our weight with the chores around the house, one being preparing the evening meal.</p>
<p>Now, both Trent and Cassi need to learn, so I have devised a method that will teach them and give them experience, in a fun way.</p>
<p>First, I cut out some different coloured cards, and I&#8217;ve written on them in pencil the following:</p>
<p><strong><span style="color: #ff00ff;">Pink</span></strong> &#8211; protein such as steak, chicken, turkey etc etc.<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ffcc00;">Yellow</span></strong> &#8211; carbs such as pasta, rice, potatoes etc.<br />
<strong><span style="color: #008000;">Green</span></strong> &#8211; The various greens such as beans, peas, cabbage, salad etc.<br />
<strong><span style="color: #ff6600;">Orange</span></strong> -Pumpkin, Corn, Sweet Potato etc<br />
White &#8211; Extras such as Cauliflower, Cucumber etc<br />
<strong><span style="color: #3366ff;">Blue</span></strong> &#8211; Sauces like Cheese Sauce, Coconut Cream etc</p>
<p>and finally, another set with each containing each of our names.</p>
<p>While we are eating a meal, we shuffle up the cards taking one from each pile.  This gives a very interesting variety of foods which is different every meal. This is a great way also to teach them how to cook balanced meals which I found was fairly lacking before.</p>
<p>The idea is then for the person who&#8217;s name came up to work out a meal using those ingredients.</p>
<p>Obviously, we only use names of the cards according to what we have in the pantry and fridge that week.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s amazing how each of us looks forward to what is going to be cooked up that night.  We all know in advance what the ingredients are!</p>
<p>This really appeals especially to Trent as he loves the fun side of it&#8230; goes along with his nature.</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>
<p>&nbsp;</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Today was the day my Egyptian doctor friend, Goweid,  had to sit for an important Fellowship exam.  I sent him a text message to wish him well yesterday, and I&#8217;ve been thinking about it all day long.</p>
<p>I haven&#8217;t heard from him, so I don&#8217;t know how he feels he went.  I told him I believed he would do well because I know he&#8217;s so clever.  I really mean that!  He worked as a surgeon in Egypt for 17 or 18 years, but when he migrated to Australia he had to sit all his medical exams all over again!</p>
<p>I&#8217;m sure all this extra study has been very beneficial to him, but my goodness, how many doctors have to achieve twice over?</p>
<p>I&#8217;m as proud as punch of his achievements, but I know it costs him dearly, especially when he has a young family.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wow, how the time passes by&#8230; I&#8217;ve been so hectic with all the Registration Forms coming in for the Massive Team Build.  The members are responding well which we are very happy about.</p>
<p>It also takes a lot of &#8220;thinking&#8221;!  We want the matrix to be so attractive that NO-ONE would want to drop out.  That would take care of all our incomes we&#8217;ve worked so hard to achieve.</p>
<p>We&#8217;ve got some pretty cool ideas&#8230; but I won&#8217;t mention them here right now.</p>
<p>Hey, if you are wondering what is taking up my time so much, go here and have a look:<br />
<a href="http://www.marilyn-williams.com/clubhouse/launch" target="_blank">http://www.marilyn-williams.com/clubhouse/launch</a></p>
<p>Maybe you&#8217;ve got some ideas you could share with me!  Many heads make light work&#8230;or something like that <img src='http://www.marilyn-williams.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>I had a bad night last night, with stomach pains and acid reflux.  Hardly slept a wink!</p>
<p>I said to myself, time for a change, as I understand how much our diet affects our health.</p>
<p>Today I&#8217;ve been drinking water and lemon juice; eating almonds, an apple, and slowly chewed on an apple.</p>
<p>I believe ginger and Apple Cider Vinegar are also good to alkalinise your body.</p>
<p>Now I&#8217;m feeling great&#8230; but the thing is to prevent it happening again.  I definitely will be more careful, as that was not a nice night.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>What a busy day I&#8217;ve had today!  I&#8217;ve been creating charts and blogs in readiness for our Massive Team Build we are hoping to start in about 4 weeks time.</p>
<p>It&#8217;s all the thought you had to put into something like this.  I don&#8217;t know where I&#8217;d be without my little exercise books I keep beside the computer.  In here I put all my thoughts and plans.  I find it so much easier than putting on a page in Word for example.  Somehow the books allow me to think more clearly, and of-course I can take it away from the computer which helps me to &#8220;think&#8221;!</p>
<p>This Massive Team Build has a 3 in 1 twist, including 1) 3 residual matrices, 2) investments and 3) a unique style of team build that&#8217;s certainly never been done before.</p>
<p>Thus, all the planning, and charts, and blogs&#8230;etc.</p>
<p>Haha, I love it really &#8211; can&#8217;t wait to get it off the ground.</p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Wednesday!  This means it&#8217;s Webinar Day!</p>
<p>Each Wednesday we hold 3 Webinars for Cascading Wealth Creation.  Each one lasts for one hour, with the first one starting at 8am my time.  </p>
<p>These days, as winter draws ever closer, I tend to roll out of bed about 7.15am, boot up the computer and get ready for the start.</p>
<p>If there are any new members there, and there generally are, I do a presentation which lasts for approximately 1/2 an hour. By the end of it, I&#8217;ve explained the whole concept so people get a pretty good idea.</p>
<p>The next one is at 12 midday my time.  Most times I have another lady from the states, Lynn Ferguson, present that one for me, and Mike follows on after that.</p>
<p>Finally, 8.30pm that night sees me doing the last presentation.</p>
<p>Each Webinar is designed to attract members from different parts of the world, which is a lot of fun.</p>
<p>By the end of it I&#8217;m usually &#8220;talked out&#8221; and ready for a good night&#8217;s rest. <img src='http://www.marilyn-williams.com/blog/wp-includes/images/smilies/icon_smile.gif' alt=':-)' class='wp-smiley' /> </p>
<p>If you are curious as to what I&#8217;m presenting, you can view it here:  <a href="http://thediamondhunt.com/module6-tools/6-3presentation.htm" _mce_href="http://thediamondhunt.com/module6-tools/6-3presentation.htm">Cascading Wealth Creation Presentation</a><br _mce_bogus="1"></p>

			<content:encoded><![CDATA[<p>Yesterday was a very special day in Australia.  It&#8217;s known as Anzac Day &#8211; a national day of remembrance. Basically, it&#8217;s to honour the Australian and New Zealand Army Corps (ANZAC) when they fought at Gallipoli in Turkey.  That was back in World War One, 1915.  Anzac Day doesn&#8217;t stop just there though, as it&#8217;s used to commemorate all our brave men who lost their lives in wars over the years and to salute those that remain for a job well done.<br />
<img src="http://www.marilyn-williams.com/blog/wp-content/uploads/2011/04/anzac1-116-x-138.jpg" alt="Anzac Biscuits" title="Anzac Bickies" width="116" height="138" class="alignright size-full wp-image-64" /><br />
One of the little special things we do on ANZAC Day is to make biscuits called ANZAC Biscuits. Basically they&#8217;re made out of Rolled Oats, and yummy!</p>
<p>It was a very wet day, so it was indoors for me.  I completed setting up my 3 blogs so now they only need to be posted to as I get the time.</p>
<p>Before I went to bed I had to knuckle down and pay out the qualifieds (my daily job) in Cascading Wealth Creation.</p>
<p>Finally into bed to go off into lala land to the sound of the rain still pouring.</p>

It&#8217;s Easter Sunday, and our household is very quiet. That&#8217;s because Selwyn (my husband) had to work over the Easter period, and my son, Trent, and his girlfriend, Cassie, have been in and out doing &#8220;fun stuff&#8221;!</p>
<p>So, apart from the other things that have occupied my time, I decided to add another blog called Egypt. Wow, I  found a fantastic theme too!  So far, I&#8217;ve added one of my websites abut the day we visited the pyramids.   Would you like to take a look?  Cool, I&#8217;m glad you said &#8220;Yes!&#8221;</p>
<p>Click on the image and you&#8217;ll go to my Egyptian Blog and from there you can enjoy our day when we visited the Pyramids.</p>
