  -- Quote of the Day --    “To me, ‘legacy’ means how I want to be remembered… What will people remember about me when I’m gone? Who did I touch – whom did I help? Did I leave the world a better place? …It’s about being the best person that I can be and making a difference. …I tend to like things done my way so it is always a challenge to me in a volunteer setting… people are volunteering for a lot of different reasons. …I have had to learn to let go and understand that, it is the best that everybody can do with what they are bringing to the table. …To me ‘Conscious Living’ means that you are conscious of your place in the world, that you have some importance here, that you are appreciative of the environment that you live in and the world and all the inhabitants. Our thoughts and actions have a direct impact on the world. So when we put negative thoughts or negative actions into the world it doesn’t just impact us or the person beside us, ...

 -- Quote of the Day --    “…When you wake up in the morning you want to feel like part of you is moving the world in the direction you want to see …do good work even if it small, and don’t feel that it is inconsequential or not enough. Advice for writers particularly is to take your self seriously and to love the work that you do and to have confidence to put it in an envelope and send it to an editor because many of the awards that I have won would never have happened if I didn’t put it out there. People get concerned about their work being not good enough and you need to get it out there.”  ~ Joan Gelfand    Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on Nov 26th ... *Click on the title to access the full discussion: http://www.blogtalkradio.com/consciousdiscussions/2013/11/26/best-of-cosncious-discussio...

-- Quote of the Day --    “When you come to the edge of all the light you know,  and are about to step off into the darkness of the unknown,  FAITH is knowing one of two things will happen:  There will be something solid to stand on or you will be taught how to fly.” ~ Barbara Winter -- Promo --  OK - this is the last book that I'll share information about for now, I promise.

-- Quote of the Day --    “Sometimes we want to get away from the busy and hectic city life to find solace in the raging waves of the ocean pounding on the rocks or the turbulent splashing of a bubbling waterfall. At other times we are amazed by the immovable silence of a mountain or the gentle caress of a river overjoyed at its union with the sea. The topography of a region speaks to each one of us – a secret language that people from all facets of life understand and relate to.”  ~ Stuti Garg -- Announcement --  I'm taking Dec 1-3rd off from the office, well - mostly. I might still check the emails and respond to important communications, but other than that I'm taking the time off. My eyes and brain need the break :) So bear that in mind when you head over to the radio show and find that there's no live broadcast happening on Dec 1st or Dec 3rd, OK?... and thanks for understanding :) -- Promo --  Only 2 more b...

 -- Quote of the Day --  “The exciting thing is that in this new and renewed interest in the environment and all things eco-friendly is that there are a lot of business opportunities out there. …I think that what is different about this new interest is that you can make money and make a difference – and that is a good thing; for this to really to take root it has to make not just environmental sense but business sense. I think these things are growing – it is a new day and a pretty exciting new day.” Today’s quote originates from the Conscious Discussions Talk Radio episode that aired back on Nov 14… titled: Best of CD #54   (*Click on the title to access the full discussion) -- Promo --  As I mentioned a few days ago, I'll be periodically giving out more information about my books over the next week or two...
