Please red the post below on "false eco tourism" in Chiapas.
When I was in Guatemala in 1996, the government also installed a supposed environmental group at the village where I was as a Human Rights Watch. In fact the members of this group were ex militaries ... They highly recommended to the villagers, all former Guatemalan refugees from a camp in Mexiko who had come back to their country after the first election after dictatorship, to start out on ECO TOURISM ... and several…
TN for the Physical Body - The universe for the spirit
About Me:
---------------------------------------------------------------------------- PERSONAL
----------------------------------------------------------------------------
I am a human, daughter, woman, sister, mother, friend, lover. I have traveled and been stationary. Teacher & student simultaneously. I have lived, loved, laughed, cried, screamed, been alone and had the pleasure of feeling the molecular universal hug from God and the universe and KNOWING I am never alone!
As a breast cancer survivor, I was forced to confront the enemy - and to my own amazement, it was ME! Re-evaluation on my entire life began with the introduction of Yoga and its philosophies and a reconnection with the GO(o)D. From that discovery point I have begun taking my infant steps back into the arms of a "welcoming humanity!"

I'm Looking To Connect With...
Creative spirits. Gentle souls. Friends. Collaborate collective minds. Yoga mindful individuals. I am looking to connect and collaborate on projects that are worthwhile. Specifically those relating to social change through yoga, music, art and that work toward self-empowerment of all people everywhere.
I want to use our creative energies to change and shape the future through conscious intention.
For the first time in my life .. and only after going through challenge after challenge ... tragedy after tragedy, have I realized that although I am "capable" of doing almost everything on my own .. how lonely this has all become without the support of friends & family. Currently, my own family thinks I am a bit luney .. because money no longer motivates me. I am passionate and inspired through beauty, love in action and causes that help ALL souls!
I am a breast cancer survivor, but as my life choices led ... it was not only the cancer, it was a divorce that almost extinguished my will to live. In the summer of 2005 I had almost convinced myself (with the help of a yogi in seattle) that life was not so bad and that if I wanted to have < insert dreams here > then I had to change ME. Take me back to ground zero and begin the rebuild process.
Long story short... I am in Tennessee, building a yoga community that has now connected with a team that's working to bring an Omega Center to the South! It's like all the dots, my entire life have connected to create a beautiful ... touching ... opportunity to work with others who are also building and loving and doing GOoD in their neighborhoods. So I am seeing the power of the collective co-creative process!
I am not a professional writer and this is NOT for ME - but I feel that if WE .. all of us..get together and decide that we do not accept the toxins being put into our food/water supplies THEY will have no choice but to listen and CHANGE So, I am asking if you if you as the admin of this site would read the initiative / sign up / VOTE / pass it on.
We are 10th in the nation, but need over 300 votes to just stay in the running. No one wants to take responsibility for their part in their health care, but that is the only way. WE have to educate our self on what is in >>> the milk, why are our local farmers going out of business if they refuse to put toxins on their garden harvests. I am sure I have no idea what really goes on, what I do know is that WE can prevent much of the disease and that the cost of NOT doing so is very evident when we look at the health care industry (it's called industry because they make A LOT !!!! of money off of US being sick!)
Here is the link again, and the widget that I am asking you to post or send or do whatever ever your heart leads you to do-but I am doing something I don't usually do, asking for help. Maybe that was part of this lesson/journey for me - learning who to meet and how to ask so that we can unite and accomplish great things!
ABOVE you can see how the yoga studios respond. BELOW you can see how our HIP HOP(e) Artists respond and how they use TRUTH to bring ACTions.
Thank you in advance for your consideration on this matter. I feel like I have been guided to loving, helpful souls and for the first time in my life I do feel like I have united with my SOUL Family.

When a study is completed and the numbers are on down on paper - all columns balanced, I would imagine the amount of money that is made "off" of people being sick is astounding!

While we are on this social network to learn & share about the miracles of giving, it is obvious there is talent and a lot of love.
So I thought, it might be nice to talk about other online resources to share joy, talent, discussion - just about everything (and ... you can cross reference/post and help this site grow~!)
There are several theories concerning the matter of blogging (and the internet) and the change that it can make to us & the world. Simply it increases awareness. Whethe… Continue
Well I'd be glad to help you out :) just give my your spec's and what you want to see, a deadline and there we go :) do you have an email address that I can reach you at?
it's all fair game, unfairly played
sustained by design, overwhelmed with mistakes
we blunder in, and guess the way
and can't go back the way we came !
it's all a bit fuzzy now, but lovely in the light somehow the loveliness is all about
how absolutely you pollute me beautiful
the game remains, the game you face
a game of turns that leaves you where you stand all day
in the shadow of a throbbing little bass
the drum of your heart goes boom always always
' all a bit a fuzzy now, the hours take their time and now an hour lasts an hour past
the time i knew it used too
things were simple
now it's you
things were impossible
now they're true
and it only hurts because
it hurts and love hasn't love her enough
till you die and even then
you loved her more than ever Love knew how
now breathe, here comes the new words that try to say something
i think about all day and they fall upon your perfect lips
like a flock of swans upon a lake of fire
This is a beautiful and inspiring post. I also honour, respect and celebrate who you are.
I am a fellow Canadian and a writer as well. Wonderful to meet you here.
Bright blessings,
Coralie
