What To Do When Someone Steals Your Ideas

What To Do When Someone Steals Your Ideas:
We have all encountered this situation when we have conversations with someone and they pick your brain to get your opinion.

I am a firm believer in sharing ideas but sometimes people do not want to do the work needed to find the solutions themselves.

All over the Internet, you will see where someone has copied your post or ideas word for word and it is something that really upsets me.  I understand that people have similar ideas and that is not a problem for me but outright stealing is something else.

I feel that people want a free ride and they want to profit or get credit for your art or work.

There are things that you can do to combat this problem.

1. Always copyright your work.
2. If you see your work or ideas on another website without your permission, ask the person or site to remove this information off their website.
3. Contact a Lawyer.
4. Be careful who you tell your ideas and dreams to.
5. Put a Disclaimer on your site explaining what will happen if your work is stolen

Real Reasons to Dissolve Some Friendships

Friendships are great.  We meet people in our lives and we share so much but there are times when a great friendship is on its way out.  Some of our friends are people we have known since childhood or different season and stages of our lives.  Talking and sharing our secrets was a mainstay of our relationship. As we grew as women and married, had children or experienced that dreaded Divorce we always knew that we had each other's back.

Friendships that was so sacred that our family didn't even know what we were going through because our dear friends were the keeper of our secrets.  At some point in our life's journey, we go through changes in jobs, kids, family, and locations, and we both notice that our visits and phone calls are getting fewer and fewer.  No one is mad or upset but it is just a sign that we are outgrowing our friendships.

Nothing ever stay's the same and I have come to realize that life's roads sometimes lead you into a new and different direction, and sometimes God has something new for you and new friendships for you to form.

Sometimes, someone has broken your trust and that shatters your relationship and there is no coming back and you must move on, never to return again.
