-- Quote of the Day --  " The greatest delight, Is the chance To teach others ." ~ Author Unknown This quote sums up how it we feel about keeping this blog going on a daily basis (as opposed to weekly or bi-weekly posts), our radio show and our writing. One single thought put out there could change someone's life - they might have better relationships, manage their money better, contribute to society or find their passion and purpose in life. Your comments - our readers, radio listeners, etc - keep us going in this regard. To hear that you are affected, moved and inspired by the information we are able to share is a very rewarding, fulfilling experience.    -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio --  This Morning at 10-11 AM, pacific, on the Conscious Discussions Radio : Klarque Garrison is our featured guest of the day - born in Los Angeles, CA (USA) and raised by a single mom with little to no education.

Astrid Weber -- World of Writing #32 -- Today we have author, life consultant and relationship coach - Julie Wise joining us on the blog to share her writing techniques and her philosophy on the difference writers have on society.

" ~ Zig Ziglar  -- Brummet's in the Media -- October is Positive Attitude Month and as such I thought today's quote would be an appropriate fit.

 -- Quote of the Day -- “ There is just too much negative news topics compared to positive news topics out there. …When people feel overwhelmed by all these terrible things in the world and thoughts like the future is really grim – they feel like they cannot solve their problems, they can actually start to feel suicidal. It is so important to get the message out there that people do care, that there are lots of people out there who do care what happens on this planet. …Using “reflective” questions – a very non-threatening way to approach a young person. …Reassure them that you are available for support, that there are other resources for them as well. …And using “I” statements… and “open-ended” questions… These techniques will help you communicate with young people .”     Julie-Anne Skyley ~ Aug 1 2010 Today's quote is derived from a Conscious Discussions talk radio show interview that aired back on August 1st titled: Helping Youth Face Stress -- Consci...
