The virtual world spurned by the SMS technology has a vast of collection of messages you can forward to your friends, business partners, family or employees. Whatever the occasion or the purposes, there's one SMS message in this vast collection that will suit you and your purposes.
Except for some, like quotable quotes or biblical passages, the authors of these messages are lost in the thread. Unlike email forwards, SMS forwarded to different people don't contain a history of senders. You only see who forwarded it to you. But as a salute to the creative and ingenious people who crafted these, here are some of the broad categories you will find interesting:
Inspirational Collection of SMS. Inspirational messages are usually drawn from passages in the Christian bible or any sacred text aimed at lifting dampened spirits and drawing inspiration from. These messages often remind recipients of practical truths or biblical wisdom in times of great distress or grief. If you know anyone facing difficulty, there's an inspirational message that could encourage them. Example: The Lord is my Shepherd; I shall not want – Psalm 23.
Graphic Collections of SMS. Non-alphanumeric characters arranged to show a sketch of practical shapes and recognizable designs can accompany text messages. These text drawings help convey emotions and bring your text message alive. From the simple smiley and emotion icons shared by friends, graphic messages are also fantastic flirting tools. Your creativity guarantees a smile. Let's hope the meaning and feeling you wish to convey is as clearly carried across. Example: (((xxx))) good night n sleep tight.
Business Collection of SMS. Usually short motivational messages dispersed to improve employee morale or encourage excellent performance, business text messages shared within and among business organizations. They usually include practical advice and guides to success, growth, planning and strategies. These can either be direct statements or short anecdotes about actual or hypothetical business–related scenarios containing practical lessons. Work-related humor is also part of this collection. Example: To fail to plan is to plan to fail.
Birthday Collection of SMS. There's more than one way to greet your friend or your wife on their special day. Instead of simply saying, “Happy Birthday,” be creative and send them a special text greeting you can personalize. You can even go a bit poetic. You can even quote an excerpt from your favorite Hallmark greeting – just be sure to acknowledge your source. Example: It's great to be you when it's your birthday!”
Friendship Collection of SMS. True to its theme, these set of text messages talk about the value of friends and the abstract meaning of friendship by practical illustrations. Sometimes sober, other times touching, friendship text messages can also be a little funny. The friendship collection is an interesting literature of how people today view friendships and their friends, and the value they put in it. Example: I'd rather lose a love than a friend like you.
Jokes Collection of SMS. When you just want to laugh, jokes do a pretty good job at that. Generally, these are funny anecdotes of practical life scenarios that may carry a practical lesson, delivered in a humorous way. Joke texts are sometimes more effective than direct practical lesson teaching. People tend to remember jokes better and are always eager to share them.
Dvd Collection Part 1
For years I've heard complaints about a lack of Occult fiction portraying Witches realistically in a contemporary setting. And it's true. As a Wiccan and novelist writing Occult fiction, I'm just as much a fan of the genre as any reader. However, I have found if you search carefully, there are dazzling gems awaiting discovery, novels that should be a part of your contemporary Occult fiction collection.
To find these novels I have narrowed my search criteria to dark urban fantasy novels set in contemporary times or in the near future. At least half the rituals, magick, or sorcery used by the main character must be based on real magickal principles. The main character must be human, and the plot not overshadowed by trendy leagues of vampires.
Having set those guidelines, I want to present my first recommendation for must-read Occult fiction. All I can say is if you've never read Lilith Saintcrow's ?Dante Valentine? series you are in for a treat!
Saintcrow is best known for her paranormal romance novels, the ?Watcher? series, featuring elemental Witches and their handsome guardians. However, Dante Valentine was created from an entirely different cut of cloth!
There are five novels in the series. The first two, ?Working for the Devil? and ?Dead Man Rising? have already been published. The last three novels are scheduled for publication in 2007 and 2008.
Dante Valentine is a Necromance, who works for lawyers, raising the spirits of the dead when wills come into question. She also takes a few bounty hunting jobs on the side to help pay her mortgage. ?Danny? is a wise-cracking whirlwind of energy with a haunting past that won't quit. Devoted to the Egyptian god Anubis, she entertains Pagan readers with plenty of rituals, spells, and magick.
The series takes place in the near future, as the plot races from one high to the next at lightning speed. This is contemporary Occult fiction at its finest, the kind of book you can't put down until you finish it. And one you'll still be thinking about months later.
Saintcrow is a master at creating memorable characters and deftly plotted novels. If you've been searching for awesome Occult fiction to add to your personal collection, this should be the first series on your list. You won't be disappointed!
