-- Quote of the Day -- “ If you live 72 years, that is about 26,000 days. So how are you going to live your life knowing that there is an end in mind? You need to live… in the moment… exponentially… cruelty free; we need to live urgently, …and to love each other. …It is not the number of days in your life it is the life in your days. And that is the way we should all live.  …Make your last will and testament even if you are 20 years old and healthy. …You need to make an Advanced Health Care Directive - …You have ultimate control until your last breath. You are the bus and we are all in the seats, we have to do what you want. …This way you know you are going to control how you are going to live and how the end your life is going to be .”  Damiano Iocovozzi, Sept 28 Today's quote originates from the Hospice & Health Care interview that aired on the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show back on Sept 28, 2010.

-- Quote of the Day -- “ What is been nice for me in my life is to synthesize the two big passions in my life - those are social and environmental change on one hand, and marketing on the other.  …Conscious Marketing is really about listening to the audience and going to them with the message that you can help make their life better whether or not they do business with you.  …I have found this softer sell has been very effective, for me – personally.  …It's really about meeting people where they are at and pushing them to where they need to go… they feel that you are their ally .”  ~ Shel Horowitz  Today's quote originates from the ~ Conscious Marketing ~ interview that aired back on Sept 7th on the Conscious Discussions Talk radio show.

By day, she is a nurse psychotherapist/ nurse practitioner with a focus on listening well. It is in this wonderful realm of listening ~ whether it is to others, to herself, to the words that flow when enrapt by nature or in listening to what arises in amazement with life's journey that Susan dwells.   Susan has been writing poetry since childhood. Although her poetry has been given as gifts or hung on walls in her parents' home, this is her first book that is a set of reflections on nature and on the mysteries of walking this earth as a human being.

Written within the experience of a dark night of the soul journey, her poems reflect that process which is at once mysterious, ...
