Cheapquotesautoinsurance.com has released a new blog post that presents the most important aspects to analyze when shopping for car insurance.

Drivers who research the market have better of finding high-quality cheaper coverage. Investing some time in researching the status of insurers and their offers will be greatly rewarded. Find out what aspects must be taken into consideration when buying car coverage and get free car insurance quotes from http://cheapquotesautoinsurance.com/5-things-to-consider-when-shopping-for-auto-insurance/

  • Consider shopping online. Besides being way easier and faster than the traditional ways, buying insurance online can also provide financial benefits. Drivers will save valuable time and money. Also, numerous insurers offer discounts for getting online quotes, purchasing coverage online or going paperless. .
  • Consider talking with an agent if some terms and conditions are not that easy to understand. It is not recommended to sign contracts if some terms and conditions are not fully comprehended. It is always better to spend some time and money and talk to an expert. He will provide explanations and even help the driver design a coverage plan suitable for the driver’s needs and budget.
  • Consider bundling multiple policies. Combining multiple types of insurance under the same contract is a smart way of saving money. Typically, companies offer a discount to those who choose to purchase multiple insurance types. Combining home and auto insurance will bring the biggest savings.
  • Consider paying for the full period of the contract in advance. Another smart way to save money is to pay-in-full. This will save the company some administrative costs and generally, it is cheaper than combining 12 or 6 premiums. Online quotes can also show drivers how much money they can save by paying everything in advance.
  • Consider making the car safer. A safer car is cheaper to insure. Ask the insurer what devices will make the premiums cheaper. Also, consider installing anti-theft devices, since they will reduce the comprehensive premium costs. Again, online quotes ask about certain safety features that will qualify the driver for a discount.

Episcopal Relief & Development Partners with the Episcopal Diocese of Texas in response to Tropical Storm Imelda


News Image

“Imelda has impacted many who were slowly restoring their homes. We remain supportive of the diocese as they continue to meet the needs of the most vulnerable members of their community,” said Katie Mears, Senior Director, US Disaster Program.

Episcopal Relief & Development is supporting the Episcopal Diocese of Texas as they respond to Tropical Storm Imelda by providing emergency supplies and support for vulnerable communities impacted by the devastating flooding.

Tropical Storm Imelda dropped more than two feet of rainfall over eastern Texas in mid-September, causing record-breaking flooding in many areas. Parts of Montgomery County and Chambers-Jefferson Counties reported over 40 inches of rainfall. According to the Weather Channel, Imelda is the fifth-wettest tropical cyclone on record in the continental United States.

The organization’s US Disaster team is supporting the Diocese of Texas on a response to the needs of vulnerable communities, many of which were also affected by Hurricane Harvey in 2017. Diocesan staff, clergy and volunteers are distributing gift cards for food, clothing and cleaning supplies. The Abundant Harvest food truck and other church food pantries are providing hot meals and the Laundry Love ministry is helping flood survivors to wash and dry their laundry with the support of Episcopal Relief & Development and the diocese. At the same time, churches within the diocese are working to provide storage for salvageable items while people begin to rebuild. The diocese is also supporting those who have lost wages due to the storm through rental assistance.

“The Episcopal Diocese of Texas has had a lot of hands-on experience with disaster response in the last few years,” said Katie Mears, Senior Director, US Disaster Program at Episcopal Relief & Development. “Imelda has impacted many who were slowly restoring their homes. We remain supportive of the diocese as they continue to meet the needs of the most vulnerable members of their community.”

Please pray for the individuals and families affected by Tropical Storm Imelda. Learn more about Episcopal Relief & Development’s US Disaster Program’s long-term disaster programs here.

Author Helps Readers Get ‘Unstuck’ in Inspirational Self-Help Memoir


News Image

I would like to thank Lisa Marie Runfola for sharing her journey with us. It was truly captivating and inspiring to read her heartfelt experiences that led her on her path to her limitless life. I cried, laughed and enjoyed every page of her memoir.

It’s easy to lose one’s sense of self in the daily shuffle of life – whether falling out of touch with passions and hobbies, feeling trapped in a loveless relationship or experiencing a decline in self-esteem, it can happen to just about anyone. In author Lisa Marie Runfola’s memoir, “A Limitless Life in a Powerless World,” she offers her own insights into this phenomenon and provides readers with inspiration to help them shake off insecurities, toxicity and fear and live a life of authentic, resolute joy.

Through seamless transitions between storytelling and teaching, Runfola’s book takes readers on a journey from her charming childhood in Buffalo, N.Y., through her first marriage and divorce. It sweeps them up as she adventures abroad with her second husband, and it brings them back down to earth as she finds herself supporting her ex during his battle with cancer and, ultimately, grieving his death. Each evocative vignette Runfola shares transports the reader to a moment in her life and invites them to relate to it and learn from it as she has.

“While you read through the chapters of this memoir, you will see that I have had choices at every step in my life,” Runfola wrote in the prologue of her book. “It is what I did with these choices that molded me into the person I am today. Overall, I chose to live my life with purpose. I took the unknown path many times, backed up with my faith in God. It is my hope that parts of my story will resonate with you so you, too, can face your own powerlessness without letting it limit you.”

Ultimately, “A Limitless Life in a Powerless World” primes readers to be open to the gifts life bestows to them daily and accept these gifts with the deepest gratitude. Even in powerless positions, one’s limitless life is still waiting to be lived.

“I would like to thank Lisa Marie Runfola for sharing her journey with us. It was truly captivating and inspiring to read her heartfelt experiences that led her on her path to her limitless life. I cried, laughed and enjoyed every page of her memoir,” a reader wrote in a five-star review of the book on Amazon. “We are gifted this beautiful life and how we choose to live each day is up to us. Through her joyous moments to her tragic grief she will INSPIRE you to take a leap of faith and live life not just in the moment but with purpose.”

Olympian Rowdy Gaines Makes a Splash for Orlando Swimmers


The legacy of swimmer Rowdy Gaines has just grown even larger. The three-time Olympic gold medalist and International Swimming Hall of Famer is leaving his impact on Orlando-area swimmers: he just helped to bring an Endless Pools® Elite model to their local YMCA for technique and endurance training.

Gaines has a decades-long history with Endless Pools; he’s owned two of their models to help him stay active from the convenience of home. A familiar face to swim fans for his analysis on the ESPN and NBC networks, Gaines also serves as Vice President, Aquatics, for YMCA of Central Florida, which operates 22 locations across six counties.

Said Gaines, “Everyone in the YMCA of Central Florida community owes a great debt of gratitude to the team at Endless Pools. Their top-of-the-line Elite model will put world-class training opportunities within reach for the widest possible swath of Orlando residents.”

The partnership between Endless Pools and the YMCA of Central Florida will include live-streaming events; viewers around the world will be able to watch Gaines offer technique training tips using the Endless Pools current. Additionally, Gaines will personally coach young swimmers in the up-close, hands-on environment afforded by Endless Pools’ swim-in-place technology.

“Everyone here at Endless Pools shares my admiration and respect for Rowdy,” said Endless Pools General Manager, Darren Pearse; “He was an early adopter of our swim-in-place technology and continues to be one of the sport’s most ardent advocates. He had an infectious passion for bringing an Endless Pools Elite model to Orlando’s recreational swimmers and future Olympians, and we’re thrilled to see our joint passion project come to fruition.”

The Endless Pools installation resides on the swim deck of the Rosen YMCA Aquatic Center in Orlando. Alongside its lap-pool programs, the YMCA will use the Endless Pools adjustable swim current for endurance and technique training. By permitting in-place swimming, the Endless Pools current creates unprecedented opportunities for real-time stroke correction. The pool features an underwater Swim Mirror to help swimmers monitor their hand entry, pull through, and shoulder rolls with immediate feedback.

The Endless Pools Elite model features the company’s smoothest current with the fastest top speed. The current adjusts from near-zero speeds for beginners to a challenging sprint pace of 51 seconds per 100 yards. The Elite model has been installed at universities including Penn State, USC, and Auburn as well as at the corporate headquarters of swim gear brands Speedo USA and ROKA. An Endless Pools Elite model is also available for swimmers at the U.S. Olympic Training Center in Colorado Springs, Colorado.

The pool’s grand opening will be part of the 2019 Renovation Dedication Celebration on Tuesday, October 8, 2019, at 10:00 am, at the Rosen YMCA Aquatic Center in Orlando, Florida.

ABOUT ENDLESS POOLS

Established in 1988, Endless Pools has served tens of thousands of satisfied pool owners in more than 100 countries. Best known for their adjustable current for swimming in place, the Endless Pools product line features residential and commercial models for recreation, athletic training, family fun, physical therapy, and more. Founded on a belief in the power of water to inspire, invigorate, and rehabilitate, Endless Pools is now part of Watkins Manufacturing Corporation, a wholly owned subsidiary of the Fortune 500 company, Masco Corporation (MAS). For more information on its family of products, visit http://www.endlesspool.com.

ABOUT THE YMCA OF CENTRAL FLORIDA

The YMCA of Central Florida is one of the area’s largest nonprofits, serving more than 415,000 Central Floridians per year through a focus on Youth Development, Healthy Living and Social Responsibility. With a Christian-based mission to improve lives and communities, it operates 22 YMCA locations across Orange, Seminole, Osceola, Brevard, Lake and Marion counties.
