I am excited to share my new website with my fellow Intelligent Optimists. It is called myskinbetter.com and is a source of natural, self care tips and suggestions for improving skin conditions. My goal, which I hope you'll help me achieve, is to share this free information with 10,000 people in 3 months. The site explains how environment, washing, products, the mind, diet, allergies, and more affect the skin and what simple self-care actions a person can take to improve skin. I initially felt inspired to create this site to help the customers of my skin care product, Emily Skin Soothers. As I started to compile the articles I saw that the information could help others as well. To many it would seem counterintuitive that a skin care company would share tips to help people resolve their own skin problems naturally. It is a bit silly I guess, isn't it? But, I believe in abundance and would rather have the satisfaction of helping people than making money off of unnecessary suffering. Call me crazy and please help me spread the word. If you find the site useful or informative please share our address and story in your favorite discussion group, blog, etc. Wishing you health and happy skin. Sincerely, Mike Arsenault, http://www.myskinbetter.com

A group of us who have been marketing technology since the early 80’s are applying our expertise to help increase the U.S. awareness of sustainability. As part of a sustainability initiative within our direct marketing company, RED Direct, we created a prototype Web environment at www.earthsayers.tv. We saw a need and decided to fill it.

In 2006, while still completing his studies in economics at Hampshire College, Alexander Petroff, the founder of Working Villages International, journeyed to the Ruzizi Valley in the eastern part of the Democratic Republic of Congo. There his Congolese friends knew a progressive village chief who might be willing to donate land to start an eco-village for some of the victims of Congo’s ten year war
As Reiki originates in unity consciousness, so its practice also engenders the same. Let's understand how this happens. Earth and Celestial Ki are polar expressions, rather than being dualistic. There's a subtle distinction. Duality is one or the other, two oppositional forces that are separate. Water in the refrigerator is cold; water boiled in a kettle is hot. It's tough to jump from these directly to warm. Yet introduce polarity and the possibility of blending hot and cold appears. Polarity is the balance between two complementary states. It's the in-between state that can take us from duality to unity. Read more...

We live in a society that is fast-paced, consumer-oriented, and often impersonal. For this reason, so many people now crave personalization and celebration in life. We all remember any event that touches our emotions, that feeds us in a powerful way. Think about a wedding you attended where the vows were written by the bride and groom, the music was selected by them, the details of the celebration and ritual were carefully chosen to reflect the personalities and spirits of both the couple and their families and friends.
