thePEBBLE has been, is and will continue to be a

cull it out of your mail, except for the odd word here

I have put thePEBBLE online, to serve those of you who
loyally follow the publication, especially The Saga Of

I will continue to publish thePEBBLE daily and email

We Are the Five People We Associate with Most
by Greg Reid
Last month I was invited to participate in a charity golf
tournament in Las Vegas to celebrate the life of the late dancing
legend Gregory Hines. The event was held to raise funds and
awareness of the tragic disease that took this entertainer's
life.
Although we were focusing on this serious matter, it was
a true pleasure to meet all the celebrities and people whom
I would not normally have the opportunity to meet while living
here in San Diego. However, what really left an impression
with me the most was a conversation I had with
Gregory Hines's father, Maurice.
I went up to him and simply asked this question: "What was
it about Gregory's upbringing that made him such a leader
in his art?"
"Well, it?s like this," began his proud dad in an authoritative
manner. "All we did was watch what he loved to do and then
encourage him to continue doing it. You should've seen his
eyes light up when he was only a child dancing for the family.
When we put a ball in his hand, he didn?t share the same
passion so we simply took it away."
"That's it?" I asked in a surprised tone.
"Yes, it's as simple as that," he replied. "You see so many
people try to push their kids into doing something that they
themselves want, rather than supporting their children in
doing what they want."
Which brings me to this topic.
Where could you be right now?or even better, where could
you be tomorrow if you surrounded yourself with a network
of positive support to assist you on your journey?
There's an old saying that goes, "We are the five people
that we associate with the most, and our income is an
average of those five people."
If you don?t like the path you're on, I suggest that you take a
look around you to see who you?re associating with. After all,
water truly does seek its own level.
"How do we change this?" you ask.
Here's what I did, and I invite you to do the same.
A few years back, I looked around and noticed that all I did
was hang around with other salespeople such as myself.
Realizing that I wanted more from my life than to simply sit
around talking about the great deal or the money I'd made
that day, I sought out a new group of people to associate
myself with?people who could help me on my new journey
to become an author and motivational speaker. I ran ads
on the Internet and in the newspaper seeking new people
to associate with and "soak up the success" with, so
to speak.
When I couldn?t find such a club, I decided to create one
of my own. I called it the Influential Men's Group. We met
once a month and discussed our ideas and plans to make
them become realities. Most important, we supported and
held one other accountable to see those dreams come true.
As I write this now, I think to myself how grateful I am for all
the wonderful people who've come into my life this past
year. Due to this great group of people, I've gone from a
business owner/salesman, to a number one best-selling
author. I've been published with my heroes and industry
greats such as Zig Ziglar, Brian Tracy, Mark Victor Hansen,
Tom Hopkins, Bob Proctor, Peter Lowe, Cynthia Kersey,
Steven E., John Assaraf, Dr. Wayne Dyer, and the
internationally acclaimed artist Wyland, just to name a
few.
I share this with you not to impress you, but to impress
upon you to be careful of what you ask for. You may
just get it.
In closing, I ask you once more: Where could you be
tomorrow, by surrounding yourself with supportive,
like-minded people who truly want you to succeed?
We are the company we keep. Choose your company
wisely.
Best wishes, and keep smilin'!

What If…You Really Believed You
Could Feel Well Again?
PART 3 of 10
Today they don’t bother with the shortages, they just raise
the prices depending on world events or the time of year
because we’re conditioned to accept it. Then they thought
they needed a dramatic event. Some readers may remember
the long lines at the gas stations in the mid-seventies. Well,
this "oil shortage" also caused the price of anhydrous-ammonia
fertilizer to go sky high. Which is why the Amish farmer
decided to try something radical. He was courageous. Instead
of applying the expensive ammonia fertilizer, he put the
bio-degradable cleaner/surfactant on his corn.
Sometimes You Stand Alone.
Most of his friends and neighbors believed the Amish Farmer’s
decision was insane. He was going against all the
"current thinking" on successful farming. Conventional
wisdom said that if you wanted to grow corn and make a
profit you absolutely must fertilize. And all the government
studies said anhydrous-ammonia fertilizer was the best bet.
Sure the hand soap grew big roses, but roses are not corn.
This was different. Naturally, he was ridiculed by many of
his neighbors. After he applied the surfactant/cleaner the
skeptics would ride their buggies along the ends of the rows
of his corn crop looking for soap suds. When they saw him
they would fall down laughing. He was the joke of his
community. And for a while our Amish farmer even
questioned his own decision. The corn was his major crop.

THE SAGA OF PINEHILL
by Ken Darby
--------------------------------------
Eloise Henry, age 18 when the story began
and David Wylie, age 20, were selected by a
stranger in town to take a dangerous trip,
together. The idea was that each was to take
only the clothes on their back and go
anywhere in the world where the stranger
took them. They were to be left there to find
their own way home. They had no money,
no identification, and no idea where they
were. If they arrived back home, there
would be a million dollars waiting in each
of their bank accounts
The story deals with their adventures along
and leads to the only way they could survive.
The story leads to many friends, many
adventures and many places.
As you read enjoy. It continues . . . . . . .

"But...but...that's what news men do." Ted
Kuzik was in a state of shock. Here he had
calculated that he was going to get an exclusive
interview, but was now left out in the cold. This
was terrible.
"Leave" Sam Henry pointed away from the house.
Kuzik knew he meant business. He knew from the
past Sam Henry meant what he said.
Watching as Ted Kuzik walked away Sam knew
this would not be the last of this.
Sam walked back into the house and officially
began the interview. "You people have a reputation
for prying and for getting your story, often at
the expense of others. You also have a reputation
for putting your own spin on things. There will be
none of that here. What we did today we did
because it was necessary. We will not tolerate any
sensationalism in your stories. You will all be
here and can ask what questions you wish, but the
first one who reports anything in a sensational
manner will no longer have any of his video tape
left from this disaster. Is that understood?"
Each of them nodded.
"One more thing. I have personally invited Mr.
Darryl Sparks here, along with his photographer.
Mr. Sparks is our local newspaperman and he shall
have the greater advantage here. His photographer
is allowed to take any picture he wishes. If you
need these photos you will have to purchase them
from Mr. Sparks. Mr. Ted Kuzik lied to you and
sent you away. As a result he is no longer welcome
in this interview. The point I am making here is
that if you show manners and respect you will
likely get further with your interview. There
shall be no recording device used. If any of you
have them on your person then now is the time to
remove them and put them on the front step."
Three people got up, took a device out of
their pocket and went to the front door to put
their recorders on the front step. Then they
returned.
"Is that all?" Sam knew the answer before he
asked the question. No one moved. They all nodded
that there were no more devices.
Sam looked at one woman, as if he were looking
right through her. "Is everyone sure there are no
recording devices in the room?" Everyone nodded.
Sam then went to the woman he had been eyeing.
He reached down into her bag and pulled out a mini
tape recorder. It was running. Sam stopped it and
rewound the tape, then played it. His voice could
be heard clearly. The woman was beet red from
blushing. "Miss Wilson you are no longer welcome
in this house. You will leave now." Sam's voiced
boomed as if it were thunder. The command
literally lifted her from her chair and
transported her to the door. She said nothing. She
had been caught. Sam ushered her out the door.
"For the rest of you, do you have any
questions about how serious we are when we speak?
I mean no sensationalism. I mean no recording
devices and I mean honorable conduct. Any
questions?"
To a man they meekly shook their heads.
"You saw this group of people do some things
today you thought were impossible. You think they
are miraculous. You, each of you, has never seen
anything like it before and are therefore
surprised by it. Let not your surprise cause you
to make a mockery out of the news just for the
sake of getting a story. We did what you saw. We
did go into burning buildings and bring out people
who would otherwise have died. That is because we
long ago have learned to live by what we call
higher law. What we mean by that is that we have
learned there are laws of the universe that govern
man's condition that are far beyond what most men
think. We learned how to use those laws and it
enables us to do what you saw today, control the
situation around us. Having that ability places us
in a position of responsibility. Where we can help
we must. We do. We enjoy that. But there is
nothing sensational about it. All men can do this.
It is merely a matter of choice for each man. That
is why we don't want you making more of it than it
is."
Once Sam finished speaking the barrage of
questions came. Every reporter wanted to speak at
once. They wanted to know how. They wanted to know
if Ben was the former police chief. They wanted to
know why those who went into the buildings were
not burnt, or had part of buildings fall on them,
or fall through floors. They wanted to know why
the group was not affected by the deadly gasses.
Slowly and in a calm and organized fashion
everyone in the group had the opportunity to
answer the reporters. The reporters acted as if
they were on a short time line, that they would be
asked to leave soon. They soon learned to relax
and ask questions of genuine interest to them. The
atmosphere of love in which they found themselves
had them now inquiring not so much as reporters,
but as people actually interested in how to live
by higher law.

OBSERVATIONS OF OUR BUSINESS
Since beginning the Project 2003 item, many of you have
become interested in following what we are doing in our
business.
It is a way of seeing some of the good things and not so good
things that happen to us along the way.
While it may not replicate your story, neither may it be replicated
by you, it does keep you updated on some of the trials and
tribulations of doing business on the internet.
We thought we would keep it up.

THINK ABOUT THIS TODAY!
"The average person puts only 25 percent of his energy
and ability into his work. The world takes off its hat to those
who put in more than 50 percent of their capacity, and
stands on its head for those few and far between souls
who devote 100 percent."
---- Andrew Carnegie

HA! HA! HA!
The church choir was putting on a car wash to raise money
to pay their expenses for a special trip. They made a large
sign, CAR WASH FOR CHOIR TRIP, and on the given
Saturday business was very good. But by two o'clock the
skies clouded and the rain poured and there were hardly
any customers.
Finally, one of the girl washers had an idea. She printed
a very large poster which said, WE WASH (then an arrow
pointing skyward) GOD RINSES. Business boomed!
