Did you know...Cancer Is A Preventable Disease?!?
Remember... balance and moderation... your physiology is unique, so find what works for you and listen to your body. Experiment with vegan, raw, macrobiotic, vegetarian, pescotarian -- or whatever combination thereof that feels perfect for your body!
Wellness/Prevention: Cancer Is A Preventable Disease!
Only 5-10% of cancer cases are due to genetic defects. The other 90-95% of cancer cases are due to environmental and lifestyle factors including smoking, alcohol consumption, poor diet, obesity, infectious agents, environmental pollution and radiation.

As if you needed an excuse to Enjoy a Glass of Red Wine...
Yet another reason to say "yes" to a glas of vino every once in a while...more evidence to support the healthy consumption of healthy wines (organic, sulfite-free if possible).
Red Wine & Fruit For Fat.
Piceatannol is a compound found in red wine, grapes, blueberries and passion fruit. It's able to block cellular processes that allow fat cells to develop, opening a door to a potential method to control obesity.

How can you find happiness??

Happiness is right where you are!!!

Have you ever experienced something beyond words? Perhaps a first kiss… An unbelievable sports victory… Wearing a new outfit by your favorite designer… Driving an expensive car… How about wedding day bliss? The birth of your children… Yes all of these occurrences are transformational! Imagine feeling happy and blissful like this all of the time. In some ways it is slightly difficult to imagine always being happy. This is because we may think happiness is only available to us on special (really special) occasions. What if the only thing you need to do to experience more joy and more happiness was to change your focus? Seriously, what if the only thing standing in your way of being happy is ONLY a decision? Well the good news is that by making the decision to be happy, allows for you to begin feeling happy. Without making the decision to be happy, how can happiness materialize within our lives?
Surely today is a wonderful opportunity for you to begin to experience real happiness. Yes in this very moment, you, and you alone, can decide to be happy. Go ahead and try it for yourself. Decide to be happy. Better yet, give yourself permission to be happy now. Did you notice that in the few seconds that you contemplated feeling happy, something magical occurred within you? If you were paying attention you may have actually noticed you felt happy or light. Ok, let’s try this again. Imagine feeling happy right now. Now could you feel even happier? Of course you can feel happier because real happiness exists within you. This magical and transformational experience of feeling happy just occurred because you made the decision to be happy. You decided, “I am now happy!” What we hold in mind is what we experience. This is a law of nature. Positive always attracts positive. And, negative will attract negative.
Happiness is right where you are–in each and every moment says Lester Levenson, founder of the Release Technique method. He also says, “Happiness is our basic nature.” Gifting ourselves permission to be happy is simply deciding to be positive. It is deciding that in spite of whatever is going on around me, I can be happy. Let’s say things are hectic at work or at home, just by making the decision to look at this situation in a positive manner, will instantly transform your outlook. So by changing your focus and deciding to be happy now, in spite of what’s going on, is how you can begin to overcome obstacles and bad moods. Nothing will ever change if you keep focusing on a negative aspect by looking at ‘what is wrong’ within a particular situation. If you think you have a problem, you will sustain the problem. The more we complain about something we don’t like, the more we are holding the problem in place.
In order for things to change we need to change how we are looking at the matter. Instead of looking at having a peaceful and positive resolution which is what we would like to experience; if we are seeing and holding onto problems, that is what we are creating. Problems are simply opportunities for us to look at things from a different perspective. Change your mind and everything changes. Change your attitude and you’ll begin to experience more happiness and goodness on a regular basis. Transforming negative issues into positive realities is a much better way to live. Remember, happiness is where you are and in every moment you have the power to decide to be happy or unhappy. Decide to be happy!
5/5/2012 supermoon
Hi All,
Check out the URL below. This Saturday night is supposed to have a supermoon – biggest of the year. Hope the weather will be all right so we can see it.
Also in the transformative sign of Scorpio.
Girls Day... So?
While @ the Princeville library yesterday, I magnetically and half without thinking picked up a book titled
Half the Sky: Turning Oppression into Opportunity for Women Worldwide (Vintage). I haven't been able to put it down.
The waterfall and river below the house I am staying in, typically a serene swimming hole, is raging millions of tons of water washing down from the Kauai mountains. A fitting show from nature that mirrors the sorrow and grief pouring out of me. And something else... enormous power and determination. Brute, raw force. So I read on.
I want to share this part of my journey with you. For those of you who know me, I am a bleeding heart and deeply sympathetic with those that suffer in poverty and oppression around the world. I feel a sense of responsibility to them as I view them as myself. However, up until now, that compassion has preferred to exist in somewhat of a blind state. Don't tell me the gory details, I'm squeamish.
If I learn about unjust suffering and I can do something about it, then I will. But typically I don't want to hear details like the statistic that there are 3+ million young girls (by young I mean 5, 6, 7 years old and up) that are enslaved as sex workers globally. I mean, I can't do much about it right? So why should I fill my mind with such depressing information?
There's been a change in me today as I started to just skim the introduction in this book, "Half the Sky". I can't put the book down, despite the gut-wrenching, sorrow inducing stories within... there is also strength and real hope change can occur and I -- we -- can be a part of that. My higher self whispered in my ear, "I know it is painful, but read it anyway. Look anyway. See it and dive into the heart of it." As I heed this instruction and swallow the atrocities that befall uneducated, poor girls and women globally, I feel the strength in me begin to pulse and beat as I realize that even in a torrential flood of sorrow, good can come.
I invite and encourage all my friends and associates to pick up this book and give it the time and attention it deserves. All you have to do is read it, and the rest will take care of itself.
Saying no and living authentically

Terah Kathryn Collins, the Water Dragon's message is: "Everything is always
changing." This intuitive creature, she explains, "is known for bringing
Heaven to Earth and making dreams come true. Visions you've been holding
deep within your heart could manifest right before your eyes." Watch what

Call and Response
by Dana Gerhardt Honor Aquarius this month by breaking out of your box. Awaken from the
midwinter slumber of your limitations. Your inner genius is ready for a
revolution. Aquarius is THE cycle to raise your energy. In fact that's the
best way to call in Aquarius: Liberate yourself! Is there someplace you've
been feeling stuck? If you're not living the life you want, *Listen*. What
has your spirit been longing to do? No sign has a greater connection to the
future than Aquarius. It rules progress, innovation and breakthroughs. But
first you've got to clear out all the musty, droopy, angry, wimpy, static
energy of the recent past.... Read the full article: http://www.mooncircles.com # # # # # # # # # # Ask the Oracle
by Julia Bondi "I already feel pretty broken by life (money problems, my beloved cat
dying in August and I am all alone). I am not sure I can handle any more
breaking even if it is ultimately for my benefit. I just almost feel like
quitting with all this pressure ahead! I would like to be able to be with
someone but have been alone most of my life romantically though I have good
friends. Facing all of this alone feels beyond me. Is there any positive
way of interpreting these transits and progressions?..." Link to the full article: http://www.mooncircles.com/oracle.html Also... Dana's blog: http://www.mooncircles.com/blog/ PLUS ... join us for a 3-Minute New Moon Ritual:
