-- Quote of the Day --  "Remember upon the conduct of each depends the fate of all."  ~ Alexander the Great   -- World of Writing --  Publicist Berlin Malcom connected with me re: her clients - Tamara Thorne and Alistair Cross both grew up writing and reading ghost stories and they have no intention of stopping. Their childhoods were spent trying to scare other children and later, snooping around allegedly haunted houses to see if anything might pop up and say ‘boo.’ Both previously published, they joined forces in 2012 and have since penned the successful Gothic serialized novel, The Ghosts of Ravencrest , as well as their debut collaborative novel, The Cliffhouse Haunting . They are currently working on their next project. Q: What have you learned about working with your co-writer? A: We have learned that picking the right collaborator is vital for true success.

“ By practicing yoga to raise one’s vibrations it raises the critical mass vibration of the planet to positivity. The oxygen exchange when practicing feeds plants and allows the Eco-system to function best. If everyone were to practice yoga and stop eating meat, we could stop global warming. Seriously. Everyone needs to be on board for this to work.”  ~ Erin Buchanan -- Product Review --  Erin Buchanan of ABX Health Products and I met through the Tomoson.com service and I have to say that I am very pleased to have met her via online communications. She appears to be a very enthusiastic, heart-warming, caring person who sincerely supports other people in reaching their goals. Their products are for sale through Amazon.com in the US but the ABX team is aiming for their products to be available internationally soon. I was really quite surprised that the products arrived so quickly from the States to southwestern Canada, where ...

Dreams of Changing the world  * Today's article was written by Carol A Beadle, who invites our readers to check out her blog @:  http://www.mousiesblog.com .   As I sit down and think about it I take a pen and paper and make some notes. The world is a very big place and there are hundreds upon thousands of people in it. How can I help make their lives better? The truth is no one can make the whole world better. You can however help make some lives better. The first thing you need to do though is to start thinking about your self. This may seem a little selfish but it helps to put things in perspective. Only by starting with ourselves can we hope to succeed in changing the world. The world keeps moving forward all the time, never slowing down. We can't catch up but we can keep moving to. The world may seem to leave us behind, the truth may be that we forget to follow it. Sometimes we see problems and ignore them. Sometimes ...

-- Quote of the Day --  "If you woke up breathing, congratulations! You have another chance."  ~ Andrea Boydston  -- Positive News --  Solar, wave and wind power - the top contenders in creating a greener global society. While advances in technology is enabling tighter, smaller, more efficient models, the fact that there is so much interest is helping too to bring the price down.  Helping this is the battery industry, who are sparked by the driving influence of the public demand for electric cars. The more people get on board, the more the price can come down and technology can improve.  Yet another tool that is advancing this cause is the increasing demand from consumers for LED and other energy conserving lighting and heating equipment. By reducing the home's need, and increasing technology's efficiency, offering alternative ways to get green homes greener - we can definitely (so the scientists say) speed up the...
