 -- Quote of the Day -- “We think we live in the world.  We think we live in a set of circumstances, but we don’t.  We live in our conversations about the world  and our conversations about the circumstances.  When we’re in a conversation about fear…  then that is the world we inhabit.  If we’re in a conversation about possibility…  then that is the world we inhabit.” Lynne Twist – The Soul of Money -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio --   Sign up via itunes for the Conscious Discussions Radio show: http://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id262138144   Author Susan Dean endured a troubled childhood, became a young mother and married into an abusive situation that lasted many years.

 -- Quote of the Day --  “…My activism, politics and writing kind of merged. I worked for newspapers for a number of years and was always interested in the human-interest stories – the good things they’ve done. I became a freelancer for a while, worked for a few magazines. …These stories need to be captured and kept and archived so that they can be there for the next generation – they can kind of stand on the shoulders of those who have gone before them and continue the work for peace and justice. …The nice thing about a book – it is a permanent document to share people’s stories. One of our goals is to get people to share their stories because that can break down barriers and create a better community.” ~ Burt Berlowe Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode titled: Compassionate Heroes   (*Click on the title to access the full discussion)   - 10 Tips to Save On Your Heating Bill This Winte...

 -- Quote of the Day -- (On volunteering) “…So we would plant these trees so that 90 years from now the kids, when they are super old, can tell their grandchildren – ‘You see that tree, I planted that tree’ and tell the story of the walk-about that the trees themselves could tell. We had 21 different varieties of oak, different kinds of pitch pine and cedar – and the kids always came back feeling like the tree connected with who they are. …We built this organization one individual at a time. …The interesting thing about volunteers – is that everybody out there is invited to volunteer. People wait to be asked and are shy about that and wait to be invited. But every volunteer organization welcomes volunteers. People are just too shy and don’t think they can help. The first meaning in the word Armature is ‘one who loves’ – so when you do things out of love you’ll make mistakes, but everyone has a talent.” Frank Cipriani Today’s quote originates ...
