Dee Doan es is the author of the paranormal mystery fiction book, The Man With the Green Suitcase . She’s active in several charities and conducts a youth poetry workshop for the Atlanta Writers Club Youth Writing Camp, and is the former co-chair of the Writing in the Schools Program for Georgia Writers. I asked Dee to tell us a little about herself and this is what she had to say: “ I’m Dee Doanes, a writer and healthy food and healthy living enthusiast.   Most people know I’m a writer but I’m also a life-long healthy food enthusiast. Or, as some close friends call me, “a health food nut.” Writing is important but eating healthy is even more important. Without eating healthy food on a regular basis you don’t have good health, which affects everything in your life, including the creativity of a writer. It makes sense for writers to eat healthy foods to increase creativity so they can tell their wonderful tales.” www.deedoanes.com Writers Can Boost Creativity By E...

-- Quote of the Day --  “First – Cultivate your curiosity. Keep it sharp and always working. Consider curiosity your life preserver, your willingness to try something new.  Second – Enlarge your enthusiasm to include the pursuit to excellence, following every task through to completion.  Third – make the law of averages work for you.  By budgeting your time more carefully than most people you can make more time available.”  ~ John Hanely   -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio --    * Airs live @ 10-11 AM (Pacifc)  - all episodes are archived indefinitely within moments after they air live, and are available for you to listen to later on at any time of day.   Sign up via itunes for the Conscious Discussions Radio show: http://i...

* Scroll to end of article to find a coupon code! I first learned of Daisy Natural Skin Care back on the 22 nd of March when the owner, Jean Marie Pizzariella invited us to do a review of some of her products. Just 11 days after confirming our interest we found the box in our mail, which was pretty fast considering crossing the US/Canada border. As an eco-conscious consumer, one of the first things I look at is the packaging. Daisy Natural has a wonderful packaging system – the products arrived in a light-weight, small cardboard box of 100% post consumer recycled content, with crumbled brown paper bags for cushioning, and light paper bag to hold several products together. The products had a minimal amount of shrink plastic to ensure the seal kept well during shipping; the plastic was perforated for easy removal – and all containers were recyclable. Many of the paper labels were easy to remove and recyclable. What impressed me most was a little note I found tucked in...

 -- Quote of the Day -- {on green business} “I love efficiency and I am always trying to improve the systems and structures in the business. Getting certified as a green business – meant I showed them my processes, for example my entire office has energy efficient light bulbs and we recycle those light bulbs, all the cleaning products are green cleaning products, all the paper products are recycled, all my estate plans are printed on 100% recycled paper… there is actually only one seller of this paper in the entire Bay area (California) but to me it is worth it. My business is also almost totally in the cloud, which means that I am nearly completely paperless – you know, I don’t hand write my notes on legal pads, I don’t make photocopies I just scan everything in. There are water efficient toilets and faucets in the building.” ~ Marina Modlin Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode ...
