Get on the "Official TPL Mailing List!"

Hello everyone, You will all notice that I've added a NEW PROFILE QUESTION to TPL, entitled "Your Mailing Address". First of all, this is NOT a mandatory question, and you DON'T have to fill it out. Secondly, this field will ALWAYS REMAIN PRIVATE. No TPL Members can see it, and I will NEVER sell your address to, or let a third-party have access to it. If you DO choose to supply your mailing address, it's because you WANT to be on the OFFICIAL TPL MAILING LIST. What will this get you… Continue

Where would YOU live?

Life can be so hectic. So many decisions to be made. So many responsibilities, and obligations— to family, friends and work. Sometimes it is all we can do to simply "hang-on"! But slow down with me for a moment... let your mind roam free... give yourself a minute to relax, and to think clearly and undisturbed... and tell me. If you could live anywhere in the world, where would it be, and why? I'm not looking for answers that take your family, or friends, or job, or income level or responsibili… Continue

The stuff we DUMP— E-Waste!!!

How many of you have considered the monumental amount of waste, and pollution that the internet, and computers cause? Is this a new concept to you? It's o.k. to admit and completely understandable if this is something that you have never really contemplated before. After all, we sometimes relate computers, and email etc. to being "paperless". And we write-off working at home as "tele-commuting". Do you agree? But when you dig a little deeper, and begin to uncover the broader story, comp… Continue

Life without plastic? Impossible!

Think about this: How is it that the everyday stuff we use "quickest", like foods, candies, beverages, household products etc., are packaged in a material (plastic) that will last for hundreds of years in landfill? Not to mention the huge amounts of natural resources and energy required to make plastics, and the poisons and pollution that are created as a result of manufacturing. Here's an example: I buy yogurt from the store, it takes me 1 or 2 minutes to consume the yogurt, and… Continue

Your Daily Dose of Goodness :-)

Hello TPL Family, For those of you whom are so inclined, from time to time, i'll post a little "something"— that might be fun to try. So here we go!!! Note: This may be best performed in private, so that you don't feel "embarrassed", although also fun in groups of two or more. :-) 1) Stand up and raise your hands upwards, eyes and palms reaching and looking towards the sky. 2) With hands outstretched, think deeply about only the good things that are going on in your life today.… Continue

Hi Wil, Chrissy and Kids,
The t-shirts arrived this week and I'd just like to say a big "thank you" from myself and my family. I can see even the postage cost a fair bit to send them over to Australia. You certainly are an extremely generous family. Thank you again. Macayla is away on holidays at the moment but I told her on the phone today that they had arrived and she was so excited. I just have one query. I had expected your site address to be on the t-shirts. It would be good advertising, especially when sending them to overseas countries.
Sorry I haven't been too active on TPL lately. I started a full time course in hypnosis, and with working full time as well, I haven't had much time for any of my social sites. Even writing my second book has been put on hold. But I am managing to put some scripts together for a cd, with sound effects, for a rebirthing hypnosis, which compliments the book. It's a rebirthing in the spirit that was placed on my heart at the beginning of last year. That seems to be moving ahead with little to no effort on my part. I think I spent my whole life getting in Gods way, now I don't have time and I can see spirit moving in wonderful ways. lol.

Thank you all again.

Love Deborah

independence day,

I wanna be free -to love who i wish,

I wanna be free-to reach for my dreams,

i wanna be free-- to achieve no matter,

how far fetch to you they seem,

i wanna be free--to live in peace,
i wanna be free --to see my fantasy,

in the mist of worldly reality,

on these words i shell not choke

to most independence day means cook outs ,fire works,


giving our country it's due ,

as we honor red white and blue

lets take a moment to give the Creator praise,

for giving us another day to find our way,

to that place where being truly free,

is a hunger thats satisfies the need,

there's no other country like ours in the world,

where people come together to speak as one voice,

we have the right to practice our choice,

i just wanna be free to say to all,

have a happy safe forth, peace , wizthom
