Flowers in The Attic

Ya know it's a precious thing to witness and even better to play an interacting role with another that just has that natural good-natured energy.  They come breezing through like a spring gust filled with aromas of lasting fragrances. You may at times spot them as they walk in your direction and you can identify them due to an elaborate smile on their face or the strong pep in their step. You may hear them in a crowd speaking, the only person that makes a statement out loud which wakes others up that are close enough to hear. Then an inevitable momentum breeds and treks along with those on similar energy wavelengths. It spreads like a domino effect. Who are they? Where do they come from? Do you know? Are they you, or me, or us? It's not about a stunning look or a captivating beauty. No, no, no this is way deeper than such trivial identifiers. This person has a vibration that actually makes you feel something real inside. They tap into our spiritual being so eloquently and

Does Applying for Credit Cards Hurt Your Credit?

February 2, 2017 by  The Experian Team Do credit card inquiries hurt you long-term?  If I apply for credit and am denied, how many points will my score drop? signed  PYL Dear PYL, It’s true that inquiries can have an effect on your credit scores, but in most cases the effect of applying for credit cards is minimal, and any effect they do have is temporary. An inquiry is simply a record that your credit report has been accessed. Your credit report will show an inquiry when you apply for credit after the lender reviews your report. Experian will not know whether you are approved or declined, so being denied credit will not affect your credit scores. Types of Inquiries on a Credit Report There are two types of  credit inquiries  you may see on your credit report: inquiries that only appear to you, and inquiries seen by lenders and others checking your credit report. Stay Up-to-Date Information in your Credit Report is frequently being added, updated or

Manipulation is not negative Influencing is changing someone’s behavior or mind Manipulation is intentionally influencing When you hear the word manipulation, you may immediately think of negative things. Please don’t. Manipulation is not bad. People with bad intentions are bad. Example 1: Manipulative sneaky person Bad people are bad. Bad people who manipulate are problematic.
