-- Quote of the Day -- “There is no duty we so underrate as the duty of being happy.  By being happy we sow anonymous benefits upon the world.”  ~ Robert Louis Stevenson ...This quote has me thinking of high-energy joy-filled folks that I've known that are reaching toward retirement age, or are retired, and have this boundless energy for life. People like Aunt Wanda and Uncle Gary, Hildegard, Barry and Bruce, Dave and Leslie... and others whose age is no barrier to happiness in and excitement for life. The way these people live their lives actually inspires hope in others, helping us see our lives differently. So many in this world become exhausted and bruised by life and lose enthusiasm for participating and finding joy, which perpetuates the fear of what age and the future will bring for those around them. We are blessed to have known several shining, positive influences that have influenced the way we perceive this life.  -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio -...

-- Quote of the Day -- “The way we are programmed to react and the energy flow of the body are two factors in a person’s health. …The organs all react to specific emotions – anger impacts the liver, worry affects the stomach… rejection on the heart… There is a link between specific emotions and damage in the organs. …The conscious mind is what we are aware of, focusing on, what we are thinking. The subconscious mind is like a big memory bank of everything that happened in our life, even if we cannot remember it. …The power of the subconscious mind is nine times more powerful than the conscious mind. …All the important things that create our reactions today happened before we were 7 years old. ” Roy Martina    Today's quote originated from the Conscious Discussions Talk radio show titled:- Unresolved Emotions and Your Health that aired back on Feb 17 this year.

-- Quote of the Day -- “…I think there is this disconnect when it comes to water issues – a lot of areas are extracting ground water at a greater rate than what can be replenished by rain and snow, and that is a problem because the ground can sink and affect roads and bridges and all types of infrastructure. …Billions of gallons go leaking away every single day. …Look into your own water system – find out the state that the system is in, and who is testing it. …Replace thirsty lawns, especially those that are not being used, with lush and beautiful xeroscape plants. …Lawns do keep down dust and reduce heat in urban areas, but there are better options. …Every time you turn on the tap, think about it – so that it becomes a conscious thing that we do, rather than an automatic thing.”  ~ Lucinda Crosby Today's quote originates from the Honoring Storytellers interview that aired back on Feb 15 Via the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio show.
