 Today's article was submitted and written by Carissa Parnell and offers some insight into the myriad of ways that one can green their new home, and renovation or addition projects for any building. Eco Design for Your Home   Architects Cheshire can build homes that, in addition to being beautiful and innovative designs, will be as energy efficient as possible. Wherever you live, if you care about your impact on the environment you need to choose architects who employ eco-design methods. This kind of house saves you money throughout the life of the property and has less of an impact on the environment from the construction phase to day to day living.  This does not just mean your new house will save you electricity. Architects Cheshire can make homes out of sustainable materials and save you money on your water bills too. A number of techniques used by modern designers will mean your beautiful new home, whether it is a work of art or homey and traditi...

-- Quote of the Day --  “For film producers who are looking for documentary insurance which is one of the biggest hurdles film and documentary people will have, there is a little known non-profit in NY city that is called FracturedAtlas.com, they provide the cheapest insurance on the planet – they also offer fiscal sponsorships …if they like your project they will set you up and then you will be able to take donations, they will take donations in your name and be able to get that to you. And that is in addition to the fact that they have great production insurance and that you can rent equipment from them… everybody tells me how great they are.”   ~ Nancy Fulton   Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on September 12, 2013 … titled: From Book to Film  (*Click on the title to access the full discussion) Find Dave and Lilli...

-- Quote of the Day --  “In terms of interconnections, a dominant theme in all Native American cultures is that of relationship, or a series of relationships that are always reaching further and further out; relationships within the immediate family reaching out to the extended family, to the band, outward again to the clan, to the tribal group; and relationships do not stop there but extend out to embrace and relate to the environment: to the animals, to the plants, and to the clouds, the elements, the heavens, the stars; and ultimately those relationships that people express and live, extend to embrace the entire universe. “ —Joseph Epes Brown    -- Conscious Discussions Talk Radio -- *I am ill and will not be able to host the radio show today... thank you for understanding.

 -- Quote of the Day -- “Reading – we all know that reading is important, it is a critical good habit… 88% of the wealthy in my study, they read 30 min or more each day of self-help, self-improvement, career related material; compare that to 2% of the poor. …The wealthy people their lives are all about continuous self improvement, so they read – they read 2 or more education books a month, so 24 books a year at a minimum. Poor people don’t do this – if they do read they read for entertainment. …79% of the wealthy network 5 hours or more per month verses 16% for the poor. …The habits that we pick up in life, 40% of the day is habit, so you are on auto pilot – if your parents did not teach you success habits, then 40% of the time you are on autopilot living poverty habits and life is bad. …66% of the wealthy watch 1 hour or less of TV per day; verses the average individual watching 6 hours of TV per day. …Even if you shaved off one hour and used it for reading, conver...

-- Choose To Be Nice --  When I first heard of ChooseTo Be Nice , I was thrilled with their concept – how one person can spark a positive change with small steps, such as choosing to wear proactive clothing. We see people walk around with clothing that advertises all kinds of company logos, or cute, humorous or cutting remarks and imagery… well Choose To Be Nice took this concept to another level.  Simply put, this is a movement that inspires and encourages kindness. According to marketing director Dina Creiger : “ When we slow down and recognize what is nice in ourselves we influence others to do the same. Our goal is to build a community of nice people online who will share what they do on a daily basis to be nice. To kick-start the movement, Choose To Be Nice has created t-shirts with the Choose To Be Nice logo. T-shirts are high quality; made by American Apparel. Ten percent of all sales will go to non-profit organizations whose values align with Choose To B...
