-- Quote of the Day --  “Rainforests are very unique in that they are very diverse – you may find in a mid-western forest a 15-20 tree species in a couple of acres, but in a rainforest you will find 4-500 distinct tree species. …Rainforests cover about 2% of the surface on the planet but they may have in those forests 50-60% of the species on the planet. They circle both sides of the equator. They are parallel to most of the corral reefs on the planet, so if you have a situation where the rainforests are being removed and loose the filtration they do, you may find that the corral reefs along the equator (which is where most of the species in the ocean come from the corral reefs) may start to disappear as well. …They are coupled together so if you lose one, you lose the other. …There are so many species yet undiscovered. …It is about overcoming and embracing the challenge – not to shy aw...

 -- Quote of the Day --  “{Relationships} Event plus your response to it will deliver the outcome. There are certain events that we have no control over, what we do have control over is our response. So if you want a different outcome you have to change your response. You are never going to change a person or situation, but you can choose your response to those events and get a different outcome. …It is up to you, you have more control than you realize – you control it all.” ~ Robin Jay Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on January 8th… titled: Building and MaintainingBusiness Relationships   (*Click on the title to access the full discussion)   -- Book Review --  We received a lovely little review on the first book in our trash talk series… and I wanted to share this with you today: Author: Darcia Helle   ...

-- Quote of the Day --  “Look to this day! For it is life, the very life of life.  For yesterday is but a dream.  And tomorrow is only a vision.  But today well lived makes every yesterday a dream of happiness.  And tomorrow a vision of hope.  Look well, therefore, to this day!  Such is the salutation of the dawn” ~ Kalidasa   -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio --    * Sadly today's guest was a no-show...

-- Quote of the Day --    “The chosen heroes of this earth have been in a minority.  There is not a social, political, or religious privilege that you enjoy today that was not bought for you by the blood and tears and patient suffering of the minority.  It is the minority that have stood in the vain of every moral conflict and achieved all that is noble in the history of the world.” ~ John Bough       -- Water for Africa --      * Article by: Damien Higgins writes for Eden Springs, which has partnered with People Help People to support three drinking water projects in Tanzania, Africa, which will help around 1,000 children get access to clean water.   Eden plumbed water coolers   supply clean water for home and office.    While the Western world wastes water, it's left to charities to help those who lack this basic necessit...

  -- Product Review -- Dave and I have a huge passion to explore nature; just being in the presence of nature is such a healing process for us. Thankfully we live in Southeastern BC (Canada) where we are surrounded by parks, lakes and mountains. In addition to this most of the old railway tracks that are no longer in use have been converted into trail systems – having old tracks and most of the boards and debris removed, they are hard packed and easy for bicycles to travel on. Sometimes a little bumpy, occasional sections of loose gravel, but mostly they are easy to peddle on and have very little grade variance. The stunning views are certainly worth it. Being passionate about green living we also try to walk or use our bikes to do small shopping trips or quick stops in town. So when we were approached by E -Cycling Store to review some of their fantastic cycling wear I was absolutely thrilled. In fact, I was in need for padded shorts this year, so th...
