Thank and Grow Richer

I love this new website. They promote enriching your personal relationships and your business contacts through gratitude. Teh website no only has links to great ecards, and talking ecards, they also have links to custom printed cards and a custom mailing program. I signed up for the mailing program to send my customers thank yous for referrals and orders. Now i send them an email and they do all the work. They send my customer a hand signed thank you card, and if I ask, even include a small personal note. My customers are sending me thank you notes for taking the time to thank them! Great program

Physics RERED by Rich A Nelson Co. Come Sci-Non Today

Wed, 11 Jun 2008 21:44:38 -0000

Thank you for your support,

Fathoming placement was never possible for me as a child, however today I will show you why it will all work out. The ideal career for me is simple yet never ending. I plan to become the world's most renowned developer of scientific theory, alongside explaining many simple truths to life, the universe, and everything, similar to my idol Douglas Adams. I am currently developing what I call "The Philosophies of a Green Guy" which may one day revile Adams and all other philosophers in history, save Jesus. As well, I am developing a new elementary physics equation reviling Einstein and Quantum Mechanics. I am stricken by these fantasies as the molecules of saturated fat first condense then proceed to gain kinetic energy as they journey from my face toward the center of Earth in the heat of our kitchen rush. I have discovered that I wish to home school my boys while I discover a brand new universe that does exist and will one day be explained to everyone simply. Planning my education is the key essential to providing the most I can to this wonderful world. Simply put I will never stop learning. Grandly, I will master many philosophies especially journalism, physics, chemistry, and cosmology.
Always listen, even to the ignorant, for they too have their own creations to share. Creation is never done alone or meaninglessly. The purpose of any created object is to display fundamental logic that can and will teach other creations in the universe, about the universe. Simply explained, God created legs for me so that I may learn from them. The ignored creation always relays the most interesting knowledge, whether useful or not I always attempt to understand the fundamental principles of all creations encountered. Once I have swallowed enough knowledge about some given fundamental of creation, the one and only divine energy of the universe and I go straight to the drawing board always together. Poems, lyrics, universal statements, philosophical conclusions, and well developed children are what I have done with this true love thus far. Yet I ponder what the future might bring to me one created day at a time.

Please Provide Your Gift of Acceleration and check out my new site HERE,

Come Sci Non and be my friend. Please check out my new idea at

Re: Chief Conscious Officer

Thu, 10 Jul 2008 20:48:28 -0000

Hello Glynnda.

You sound terrific. And maybe who my partner and I have been looking for. Are you still out there? I know your message was sent in March, but I hope you are still looking for innovative business ideas and products. I live in Los Angeles, CA and I am currently in the process of starting a Human Potential Gymnasium with my teacher and partner. We have many ideas as far as products go, as well as a logo and long term goals. I am directly connected with some people here who we believe would really venture some capital into lifting our project off the ground. My teacher is a Qigong master and she is the most sentient person I have ever met or trained with. She has human potential technologies that, when published, will blow people away. Completely new and innovative work - work that I know works as I have taken it upon myself to dedicate myself to exploring and discovering my own human potential. After engaging in the process of healing myself - the only remaining choice is to teach others the way to do the same.

I am a trained actor from UCLA's graduate school and we are both currently in a Masters of Medical Qigong program in LA. The gymnasium will be a place to work out our mind, bodies, and spirits. It will partly be a clinic but also an artists training studio and production studio. We want to link the healing community with the entertainment community. My own future work will involve linking Qigong to acting training. Anyway, too many ideas and thoughts to go into now. Let me know if this may interest you.

Blessings to you

I certainly known what you mean about "too much to discuss here. " Your concept of a Human Potential Gymnasium sounds like a great idea. Good luck with this.

It is important for us to remember body, soul, mind. I believe this is "the trinity." Our society based upon the western culture has demeaned the mind, degraded the body, and ignored the soul. It is also very important to look at all of the social, political, economic, environmental issues. For the only way in which we are going to create a better tomorrow is to redefine and recreate all or most our systems and how we function in society.

I have concluded that my ideas for the future are so complex that the only avenue for them is to spend the time to write a book. We must concern ourselves with all issues of our culture and the world. I once attended a speach by Margaret Mead...(what a great opportunity the was) She stated there is "no system in the past which has worked and there is no system in the present which is working." I was 22 at the time...and I so totally agreed. I have been working intellectually to find a better way.

If corporations would become more humane that would certainly become a beginning change to an improved world. I wish you the very best of luck on your project. I'll be quite interested to see where it goes.

Organic herbs

Sun, 20 Jul 2008 01:13:30 -0000

I quit my full time nursing supervisor job three months ago. Since then I've done some real resting, some soul searching, traveling, any enjoying friends & family. One thing the time off helped me to decide was to start a little business.

I have started Scarborough Fair Organic Herbs. I've grown herbs for years for family & friends. I decided to begin a small business with something I love to do. I built a compost bin out of scrap boards. I added several plants to my home herb garden. I started several new varieties of herbs from seed to plant later. Then a friend helped me develop a website. Poof- my business was born!

I'm still working out the kinks and learning as I go. I use no commercial fertilizer or pesticides which can be a challenge. We'll see how things go:). Visit us at:

The Threshold Project

Sun, 10 Aug 2008 22:44:21 -0000

I want to introduce myself and introduce the work I am doing into what I hope is a receptive community. I am a physician from Northern Cal stepping out of the mainstream healthcare delivery model and embarking on an adventure to start a nonprofit organization as an expression of all I have learned at the bedside and through a diverse life experience. We are very interested in the Gaia community's initial response to our project, so please let us know what comes up.

The Threshold Project is a response to the unmet needs of people as they attempt to complete living. With educational outreach to caregivers and direct service to those approaching their death, we intend to change cultural paradigms.

Please visit our website and link it to yours as we establish our internet presence.

www.thresholdproject.org

You are enthusiastically invited to participate and support our rapid and exciting evolution as a nonprofit organization. It is our intention to be a self-sustaining social enterprise within 2 years!

With greatest respect,

Michael D. Fratkin, MD

Re: could we wear clothes that would help us be?

I really like your concept. Will you be expanding to offer more words and will people be able to request words. I have a rock on which I wrote honest, gentle, courage. Three words I chose to focus on at the time of writing. It would be great if I could put those words on the inside of my clothes and take them everywhere.

Best,
Melody

Re: Beauty with a Cause

Hi Julie Ann,

Your business is a fabulous idea. Are you a signer for Safe Cosmetics Campaign? That might help you.

Have you thought about putting on educational workshops in your local area? Or, offer to visit the local high schools and give a talk on being beautiful and using products that won't harm the girls or the environment. You will be building a long-term client base and helping young women at the same time.

If you are doing online presentations/video, you need to think about what will attract each audience to you. Young girls like things that are cute, funny, and so on. Moms would like information quickly with some humour attached, as all moms need a good laugh.

I took a look at your website and just want to say, keep it up. I truly believe it will be people like you who will create change in this world. So glad to know you!

Every consumer is a change agent

Mon, 18 Aug 2008 20:12:48 -0000

www.ethicalconsumer.ca is my contribution to change. I believe that we all have a responsibility to be change agents, but it can be difficult. Each decision we make will have an effect on us and our planet, including simple decisions such as what shampoo to buy.

My site is a collection of Canadian values-based businesses and consumer information. I am trying to take some of the work out of finding truly healthy products that we tend to use daily. When trying to make these changes in my own life, the amount of information and decisions to make was overwhelming, so this is my attempt to pass on some of my learning.

I will be publishing buying guides for consumers to help them understand the core issues for the products that they buy. Although they will be aimed at Canadian consumers, they will be useful to all consumers.

Hope you like it.

Welcome to Gaia and well done, It is important, the little things do matter, like deforestation to grow more palm oil for the food industry, I avoid products that use palm oil. Surprised mine is the first comment, I do take care what I buy and also grow a lot of my own veg and fruit too, there are links to how to be green sites for US and UK on my profile. I use ecover products in the home, but unfortunately am allergic to their washing up liquid, wondering what might be a good alternative, any suggestions? Our local shop only stocks ecover.

Knight Foundation $USD 5m grant - deadline 01nov2009

Wed, 29 Oct 2008 17:08:05 -0000

folks, hi,
newschallenge.org are providing a $USD 5m grant to anyone willing to help put useful computer technology into real people's hands.

the geographical location is immaterial (but it must _be_ a real-world location).

the type of technology is immaterial - i.e. the grant can be used to actually construct it (but it must be "open source licensed" - e.g. creative commons).

the PURPOSE of the technology must be to aid and assist in the sharing and creation of news, information and knowledge, between real people.

i know HOW to do this.

i just don't know WHO.

if you know of ANY community that can benefit from having "real" technology put into their hands, no matter how big or how small, please contact me.

i need about 150 words describing the community and how computer technology will benefit them.

it takes about 25 minutes to fill in an application. this is the PRELIMINARY stage.

the deadline is 1st november 2009, midnight.

Beyond Belief

Thu, 20 Nov 2008 09:26:57 -0000

Hello everyone,

There are a series of seminars done by thesciencenetwork, that can be found and watched on over the internet, that I would highly recommend everyone interested in truth, love and happiness to watch and consider seriously. You can find them by searching video.google.com for each talk, by name or by session.

The seminars have evolved a great deal over the past 3 years.
In the first year the overall agenda or "mindset" was somewhat naive and narrow in its interpretation, but still highly intelligent and worth watching. I found the second year was more philosophically developed, realistic and well thought out, whereas the third year added another kind of flavor, even more sophisticated. I personally watched them in order of succession and found them most pleasurable so.

In any case, I would urge you to consider the empirical data presented during the talks, and investigate the philosophical notions discussed. The faculties of Reason are very much high lighted here, but its limitations are also recognized by most of the speakers. However, it is my opinion, that the power of Reason should not be underestimated and dismissed if we are to find a way to realize the truth of who we really are, and open the minds and hearts of people around the globe. Gaia has reason to love Reason!

I highly recommend all serious truth seekers, realists, evolutionaries, dreamers, thinkers, feelers, Everyone! to watch this material, learn from it and consider it carefully:

Beyond Belief: Science, Reason, Religion & Survival

Beyond Belief: Enlightenment 2.0

Beyond Belief: Candles in the Dark

There are many ways to come to understanding. But - and this is big but - Language is made up of symbols and semantics. Reason deals with symbols and semantics. If we are to communicate successfully around the globe (the underpinnings of real change) it is important that we learn how to reason and communicate well - something the people in these talks are doing very well. Very scholarly and intelligent discussion - and inspired!

Enjoy!
