6 More Days til Book Club

Have you finished reading the book yet? Here's a link to a study guide for the book that I found on the web:

The Illusion of Time

See that gorgeous woman holding the American flag in the shape of a stop sign? That's moi! As if I don't have enough to do (looking for a job, moving, starting school, etc.). Having a passion or belief goes beyond the concept of time. One is in the moment and moving. No matter that you get up super early and that you haven't had a bit to eat. I agree with Einstein that time is never consistent in the manner people believe. It is constantly shaped by energy and mass. A purpose that really matters.

FIND OUT THE TRUTH!

I've written a previous article on the media coverage of the oil spill (8/1/10). I've just received notice that the Green Exchange is hosting a webinar detailing the true costs of the oil spill. It will be for 60 minutes. I encourage everyone to join the presentation on August 26th at noon (pst). Check the website for more details.

Here's an interesting picture from Pyschology Today.

Eco-Cleanser Presentation

I demonstrated homemade green cleansers at the Glenwood Farmer's Market yesterday. The recipes will be posted on the Market's website by the end of the week. It was encouraging to see mothers and fathers ask passionate questions on making their home safe. In the meantime, check out the sign I made for the vendors.

Hiding The Truth

As BP scales back its clean up efforts, the average American becomes convinced that the worst of the oil spill is over. As with so many media saturated events, the slow down of coverage shrinks catastrophic events into minor dents of our memory. But then, I got to thinking......have I seen coverage?

With the powerful verbage of President Obama, one would expect, at the least, a website dedicated to the coverage of the oil spill. Up to date articles, interviews, and scientific data would be easily disseminated to the public.

This isn't happening. Ask yourself why as you read the following article linked from the Huffington Post. Also, there is a interesting article in the latest O magazine.

Who really controls the media?
