~ 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.  

[VIEW DETAILS HERE... AND THANKS]

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.

Parody: Our Spiritual Sapling--

-- by Robert Elias Najemy



Larisa Koshkina

When we plant a young tree sapling, we need to protect it from the various dangers to its safe survival. One danger is the lack of water. We need to see that it is watered frequently, until it is able to establish its roots deeply into the earth, insuring for itself a steady supply of water, regardless of external conditions.

In the same way we need to protect our newborn spiritual self from drying up because of a lack of spiritual sustenance. We can do this by keeping company with spiritually oriented persons through seminars and group gatherings for such purposes. We can also water our inner spiritual sapling through daily prayer, meditation and reading of spiritual texts.

Another danger is that passing goats might eat it. Thus we must erect a temporary fence around the sapling, preventing the goats from eating its tender leaves and shoots.

Eventually, however, when the tree has grown larger and its leaves have risen above the level which the goats can reach, we can remove the fence without fear of there being any harm to the tree.

Now the tree is not only no longer vulnerable, but it can offer protection to the goats from the hot sun or the rain or snow. The goats now benefit from the tree.

In the same way we must, in the beginning of our spiritual growth process, protect ourselves from company and contacts with people who are not spiritually oriented, so that we can have the opportunity to develop our inner faith and discipline. (This does not include, of course, our immediate family, whom we have incarnated to serve and love. Nor does it include people who need our help. It does include superficial social and professional contacts).


By avoiding those who are negative towards spiritual values, and keeping company with those who embrace those values, we gradually strengthen our spiritual sapling into a full-grown tree, which no longer needs any such protection.

Now, we can have contact with all types of negative influences without loosing our center. Now, like the large tree, we can offer comfort, love and wisdom even to those who previously would have caused us to loose our spiritual center. We need to determine whether we are saplings or trees and act accordingly. ~ Be Well

[VIDEO] - Isabel Allende - Women's Empowerment

"Only a fearless and determined heart wins the Gold"
 --Isabel Allende, Author and Activist


Why you should listen to Isabel--
 

As a novelist and memoirist, Isabel Allende writes of passionate lives, including her own. Born into a Chilean family with political ties, she went into exile in the United States in the 1970s -- an event that, she believes, created her as a writer.  Her voice blends sweeping narrative with touches of magical realism; her stories are romantic, in the very best sense of the word.  Her novels include The House of the Spirits, Eva Luna and The Stories of Eva Luna, and her latest, Ines of My Soul and La Suma de los Dias (The Sum of Our Days).  And don't forget her adventure trilogy for young readers -- City of the Beasts, Kingdom of the Golden Dragon and Forest of the Pygmies.

As a memoirist, she has written about her vision of her lost Chile, in My Invented Country, and movingly tells the story of her life to her own daughter, in Paula.  Her book Aphrodite: A Memoir of the Senses memorably linked two section of the bookstore that don't see much crossover-- Erotica and Cookbooks.  Just as vital is her community work.  The Isabel Allende Foundation works with nonprofits in the San Francisco Bay Area and Chile to empower and protect women and girls-- understanding that empowering women is the only true route to social and economic justice.
