-- Quote of the Day --  “With sculpting, you can switch in another head, arms and legs can be switched in easily but the core of the model is really where the main energy of the person is; where there soul is or the state of being. …How the body positioned in terms of the inclination of the rib cage and the pelvis because they tell the story of that individual’s unique way of perceiving things. The sculpture becomes a collaborative effort between the model and myself because I am translating what I see but I am also using that life model individual unique body part to make my art. …As an artist, you have to make art that is really amazing that blows people out of the water, your art has to stand alone, it has to be really impressive. …You have to learn how to use the Internet to expose your work to a larger number of people – photography plays a big role here, through lighting and perspective you can make dramatic pictures. …You ...

 -- Quote of the Day --  “We can use obstacles as a chance to shut down or a chance to open up. Often times when we have our hearts broken we tend to close our hearts, we become more distant and slower to expose our vulnerability – so I think that we all have a choice as to how we are going to react, you know we can go into the positive or we can go into the negative. That creates the distinction of living a quality life. …I believe the reason why we are here is to find the truth of our lives and the distinction of our purpose, to live this every moment of our lives. …The truth is that when we are not reaching for something bigger and we end up deciding to stay in something that is mediocre at best then we are actually sacrificing our life, sacrificing our hopes and happiness. …But that is not why we are here - it is not to repeat the patterns of yesterday, it is to create something new, to step into the fullness of who we are, and this requires us ...

-- Quote of the Day --  “It is the man who carefully advances step by step with his mind becoming wider and wider – and progressively better able to grasp any theme or situation – persevering in what he knows to be practical, and concentrating his thought upon it, who is bound to succeed in the greatest degree.”  ~ Alexander Bell -- 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://itunes.apple.com/us/podcast/id262138144   Today's guest was a no-show, however I was able to continue the discussion on green transportation - how you can save ...

The Economic Benefits of Riding Your Bike Today's article was written and submitted by: Taiwo Aladeojebi of SportsDirect.com With cost of gas   soaring and everyone wanting to get in shape for either their summer holiday or health reason, we take a look at the health and money benefits of swapping your car for your bike. It’s Cheaper than a New Car Can you imagine how stressful it is to get a car loan? It can also be pricey at times and might pay off to think outside the box. Cycling can be a good alternative and don’t forget, bikes have been used as a form of transportation for over 200 years,   or maybe it’s just time to get fit and save some extra pennies . Rather than saving up for years or risk more debt, you can simply cut costs by just buying a regular road bike and save on travel costs. Less environmental impact Cycling   is one of   the eco-friendliest ways of commuting and one in ten adults cycle at least once a week.   T...

-- Quote of the Day --    “We kind of tap into the notion that if we question something that doesn’t suit us but have been doing so long – there is a fear factor of not being loved or accepted. …Imagine a ship in the harbor, and the harbor is disgusting – there is oil everywhere there is dirt everywhere and the ship is sitting there with its anchor. Even though we look down into the water and we see it is dirty we still have our anchor set up and we call it home instead of setting sail away from that harbor. – that is what I call the sheep state; going with the flow, that if I was to raise my hand and go against it I will be ostracized. …But you have to be able to say this in unaccepted, I better stand up and make a difference – because how else will a change occur. So we have to go away from the sheep-state, because your actions will have a rippling affect on the people around you. Don’t wait for someone else ...
