-- Quote of the Day -- 

“Be aware that we are interconnected: what I do to you, you do to somebody else and it will eventually reverberate back to me. …For some people (change) is just a little blip and for others it is a smack in the head. …When you are in high school everyone is going through adolescence together. With midlife we are feeling alone, and we are dealing with hormonal changes too. For women, you might go through it at 35 or I might go through it at 60. Women often go through a shake up phase in their thirties, and then menopause later on. For men 40-50 is their time. – we get this wake up call at several points in our lives where we ask the big why questions; why am I hear, etc. …Sometimes you want to change but you are afraid of change; the best way to get over fear is to get into action. You face your fear and it just blows away. Question your fear; a lot of times we take on other people’s fears.”

Franki Picasso

Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on … titled: Overcoming Life’sChallenges

Generally speaking the companies have, so far, put in automatic thermostat controls for heating and cooling, installed energy efficient equipment, and replaced lighting with CFLs and LED’s.
