Mistake #1Don’t forget to update the beneficiaries on your life insurance policies regularly. Update it every few years or when there’s a major life event such as marriage, divorce, new babies, death of beneficiary, etc. I hear sad stories all the time from people who’s husband, father, or wife forgot to update the beneficiary on their policy. Instead of the deceased’s family getting the money it’s some ex-wife, ex-husband, cousin, distant relative, ex-girlfriend and the current family and kids are left penniless. That’s tragic. Mistake #2It’s important to not let your life insurance lapse when you’re switching bank checking accounts. Most people have their life insurance premiums ta
At the start of this New Year, I’m often asked what I think the best investment for 2005 will be.

While it’s important to keep up with trends and cycles in the markets, there’s one very important investment that most people fail to make – investing in life.In our pursuit of high-returns and increasing income, most of us forget that money is merely a means to an end, not an end of itself. Today’s retirees have patiently built their nest eggs with decades of hard work and self-restraint. They knew they couldn’t live beyond their means and still provide a secure retirement lifestyle.

The gardens are the Shinden Garden; the Paradise Garden; the Early Rock Garden; the Late Rock Garden; the Flat Garden and the Modern Romantic Garden, representing the six periods of Japanese garden history.
Florida's population is the fastest growing of any state in the U.S., with increasing numbers coming to Florida to live not just visit. Using green and sustainable building practices is currently leading Florida’s focus in promoting an environmentally sustainable approach to growth.
In garden design, sustainable includes the use of native and non-invasive plantings. A Japanese garden uses some ornamentals and non-native plants, but in the design of the Morikami Gardens Hoichi Kurisu was able to use many Florida native species including indigenous slash pines and Sea Grapes chosen for their natural sculptural shape, and Gumbo Limbo chosen for its leaf quality and aged-looking bark. The backbone of Japanese garden design is the use of large-scale boulders, yet Florida has no true rock. The yellow or white Florida flat rock is not suitable for the essential structural elements of the Japanese garden. Hoichi Kurisu and his team went to Aus

In my first article in this series, I talked about the importance of creating a custom website that will establish you as a credible Network Marketer.

Perfect not only for contemplation but also for water conservation, are the dry landscapes and the dry waterfall in the gardens. These Zen inspired dry gardens use a dry creek technique, and are naturally draining surfaces.
The Zen inspired gardens include dry cascades, which are careful arrangements of rocks meant to suggest dynamic waterfalls, but without the actual flow of water. A dry cascade sits nearby the Paradise Garden. The dry cascade has the same qualities as a waterfall, simulating a water-fed creek and a waterfall using only gravel and natural rock forms.
These Zen rock gardens called ‘dry landscapes’ (karesansui) are abstract garden designs created as a means toward self-examination and spiritual purity. Dry landscapes are not designed as extensively planted gardens typical for the gratification of the senses. Zen gardens often use no or very little plantings, inducing a calming effect through simplicity and order. The ascetic arrangements of rock and gravel are expected to help clear the mind of worldly attachments that would otherwise restrict the attainment of enlightenment.
In the Flat Garden, the landscape designer uses a technique called “borrowed scenery,” called shakkei, that can be used in other gardens even the small space gardens of the homeowner. The technique depends upon having some serenity in the distance, borrowing scenery from
