 -- Quote of the Day -- " The act of philanthropy is a spiritual act, an expression of caring for one's fellow human beings. It is a belief in the future and that the future can be good. It is investing in that future. It is helping to make the dream come true ." ~ Arthur Frantzreb -- Positive Living -- Conscious living can begin with something as small as watching the wording we are using when talking to ourselves or speaking to others. Avoiding critical, negative thinking patterns and gossip will go a long way in this goal. Using our voices, the fact that we have the ability to speak, to make the world a better place.

Their voic...

What is a "Chat Room"? - I am glad you asked. When hosting the live show, I open a "chat room". This is where listeners can post comments, questions and suggestions - and I interact with them both during and after the live broadcast. The listeners gain access to the chat room by clicking on a little green box that says chat room. If you don't see it when listening to a live show, make your window bigger and scroll around until you do. After accessing this, you see what others are saying in the live chat room. To chat via your keyboard, you will need to register at: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/register.aspx They will send you an email, right away, and you can click on that link they send you to activate the registered listener account. This is free and very quick, it only takes a couple of minutes and then you can chat away with everyone else in the room. * Chat users are welcome to network with others in the chat room as well.
