~ Our world
is traversing in uncertain and troubling times friends.  And one of the things I believe is causing much of our great divide is poor communication.  Period.  Given your advocacy work  I know you know-- how essential clear and genuine communication must be to foster meaningful results.  And this is why I'm recommending to professionals like yourself, info about "How Conversation Works: 6 Lessons for Better Communication."
 
"Conversations..." is a Six-Part eCourse that you can order on DVD, download instantly and watch from your PC, or my favorite-- the CD version-- which can be listened to while driving or working from home.  I was just reviewing the course description for Part 6 which covers 'How to Maintain Relations with Talk'  and I had a quick, laugh out loud flashback of my piano teacher Mrs. Thomas grilling me to make 'sure' I'd practiced my scales over the weekend.  Her 'eyes' were really doing the talking, not her words and you can best believe that I certainly didn't fail to practice my piano scales. 

If you believe your business or advocacy could be improved by learning new ways to communicate, please watch a course preview here.
 
How Conversation Works: 6 Lessons for Better Communication is now on sale for a limited time.

~ God and religion can be two hot topics when people with varying viewpoints get in the same room.  Let that difference be a drastic one and a mini-war may ensue, right?  Last night, I added content from luminaries Caroline Myss and Marianne Williamson, who's work in the world suggests very unique and profound reasonings behind why we've become the way we have and more importantly, solutions to bridge this great divide.

 
 
And so, I wanted to call your attention to these two new titles by Caroline and Marianne respectively:

Entering the Castel: Exploring Your Mystical Experience of God; and
The Age of Miracles: Embracing the new Midlife.
Simply said, both 'teachings' will reaffirm that you're on the right track and will also hope to serve and nurture the part on the inside of you that can connect and dialogue with the unseen.  

I'll tell ya' friends, I don't know how our world leaders get a good night's sleep anymore!  I pray for their strength and endurance daily.  I don't know where you are with your walk with God or even if you have a God but I do feel that because you advocate for others, your Spirit may be unsettled at this time due to the discourse in our World.  I know the discourse is unsettling for me.

I didn't intend on this 'post' becoming so long winded.  We've gone from looking good, to speaking good, and doing good.  I'd be remiss if I kept this 'in-house.'  We truly are in a time of miracles and mystical experiences.
 
Hope you're nearing your mountain top dear one.  Please feel free to forward this or share with your social networks, should you desire.  ~djg

Why Internet Access Matters for Women and Girls

"In a majority of western
countries, women have
a huge web presence--
using it on average, 17%
more than men."
--Online Classes.org

In western Europe and most of North America, women tend to use social media more, they tend to shop online more, and most of them simply make up more website traffic than men.  But in developing nations, with prohibited freedom, lower literacy rates, and lack of technological knowledge, many women are missing out on the Internet.



"...In developing nations, while both genders tend to have more limited Internet connectivity than those in the west, there are still some very surprising discrepancies in how much more often men are able to access the web." 
 
In fact, in some extreme cases, as many as 70% of a nation’s men have accessed the web before, compared to just 14% of women. But when women are able to gain access to the Internet, they begin to do powerful things with it. Among women in developing nations, many of those who have been able to access the web have used it to find work, do research, and otherwise seek an additional income source for their families.

"...And over 500 million women would feel they had greater freedom as a result of being online."

The following infographic examines how now, more than ever, women in developing nations need the web.
