-- Quote of the Day -- “ Getting rid of clutter really isn’t about trying to achieve some sort of magazine-cover perfection, but about freeing up time for priorities. …It is functional living – not perfect living. …Getting rid of clutter is a process… and it can sometimes be hard for people to cut down their clutter… we get emotionally attached to our stuff. …Creating a sustainable community is win-win for everybody involved; when we reduce our excess, we help other people. As well, less needs to be produced and there is less waste. We gain by having greater peace of mind and getting rid of clutter opens our lives up to new hobbies, new relationships .”   ~  Barbara Tako ~ Today's quote came from the Living Clutter-free interview on the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio Show that aired back on Aug 31 this year - You can access the full interview via the hyper-linked show title above.    -- Chatter -- Today finds me inundated with a heavy list of to...

-- Quote of the Day -- RE:  Saving Race Horses   “We give them a transition between that athletic lifestyle and learn how to be a horse again – preparing them for the next phase. … I found it very surprising that there was a need for something like what we provide. And once I realized that I think I was just humbled that I could make a difference… For me, these horses are just so inspiring – I feel like they have brought out the best in me. I feel that they give me so much more than I can give them.” ~  Lynn Reardon ~ Aug 24 2010  Today's quote originates from the Saving Racehorses interview that aired back on Aug 24th this year on the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show.

-- Quote of the Day -- “ Before we get to the edge of the waterfall we need to stop and think about how we need to live… We have all these debates about whether there is global warming and so we don’t pass legislation. ...Russia had a huge heat wave and lost most of their grain harvest, and so they are exporting zero now. And then you get a country like Egypt who is their biggest customer, and they give bread to their poor – last year they couldn’t give out bread so they had rioting. …One might say 'well that might happen there, but not where [countries] are more developed.' But remember the truck strike in London when in just 4 days the grocery stores ran out of food – that strike got settled pretty quickly.   …Then comes the day you go to the market and there is no fish - well we can’t wait for that day .”     ~ Stuart Rose ~ Aug 17 2010 Today's quote comes from an interview with Stuart Rose who dropped in to the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show to talk ...

 -- Quote of the Day --  " Any day is beautiful, When it has been touched By laughter. " ~ Author Unknown I started out pretty awful this morning... not feeling 100% and waking up feeling more tired than when I went to bed, I started the early morning chores - making lunches, doing dishes, taking care of the dogs, and early office work. During these early morning chores it seemed everything I touched hit the ground, at least once. I must have given myself a half-dozen bonks from not watching where I was going or hitting my hand on a partially opened kitchen drawer... *sigh* - But as today's quote states, I found some laughter and it washed all the misery away. My best-loved fur-kids (the dogs) are a sure fire way to inspire a smile and a laugh or two... Especially Skyla - who is such a goof! ...thank goodness for the loving animals in our lives. :) -- Lillian's Referral Corner -- Here are some recommended resources for you to check out when you have some tim...
