Last week I heard from almost everyone I spoke with here on Oahu that they were tired, or they felt ill or nauseous, had herpes breakouts, felt down or disillusioned, depressed, exhausted.

I was stunned to see so many people down at the dumps. But when I spoke with my health coach on Saturday, I got an answer.

She told me her ‘inside info people’ had told her that the

Check out the new Featured Artist of the Month here and see what you think….

One day last month, a friend of mine sent out an email from Bangkok.

He was on his way elsewhere, and wanted to include thanks and farewells to some of his friends in Bali, one of whom was Elsha, this month’s Featured Artist.

And now I’m happy to be able to say that Elsha has just come back here to Hawaii from living in Bali for a year.

I looked her up and loved her work – it’s so fresh it’s almost rude; I like how out loud it is with the bright colors and powerful visual commentary without any verbal cues.

I like it because it’s 3-D and very in-your-face, yet it’s really not rude at all – it’s more fascinating than rude. Check it out here:

Dr. Mercola

This is an excerpt of an important article on GMO by Dr. mercola. I hope you’ll review it and go to the whole article on his site (link at bottom). {Ed.]

In recent times we’ve seen researchers being exposed for creating entirely fraudulent research; studies are ghostwritten and researchers are paid to put their names on work they’ve had no part in; journalists are paid to write articles that are nothing more than thinly disguised advertising, and the list of scientific deception goes on.

All of this deceptive maneuvering gives industry the appearance of being science based, when in fact they’re oftentimes far from it.

Of course this creates confusion. How could it not?

But there is a simple, rational solution. And that is to pay attention to the source of the funding, for one, and to pay special heed to research that comes from independent sources that have no vested interest in manipulating the end results.

When you do, you’ll find that there is no shortage of scientific based evidence showing a wide variety of hazards that are currently being ignored and glossed over with, in many cases, completely nonsensical PR sound bytes.

Jeffrey Smith is clearly one of the leading experts on genetically modified foods in the world, and his not-for-profit organization ResponsibleTechnology.org has amassed an ever growing number of studies illustrating the grave dangers inherent with GMOs.

Avoiding a Problem Doesn’t Prove It’s Not There – How Industry Manipulates Scientific Results to Justify “Safety”

“These guys have gotten bad science down to a science. They are expert at figuring out ways to avoid finding the problems,” Smith says.

“When genetically modified bovine growth hormone was being tested, one disgruntled FDA employee evidently stole the documents and made them public.

They showed that when Monsanto’s researchers wanted to prove that the [rBGH] injections did not interfere with the cow’s fertility, they secretly introduced cows to the study that were already pregnant before they were ever injected.

And when they wanted to show that the pasteurization process destroys the hormone that’s increased in the milk supply, they pasteurized the milk 120 times longer than normal. That destroyed 19 percent of the hormones.

So they doused the milk with 147 times the amount of the naturally existing hormone, and heated the milk 120 times longer than normal. Under those bizarre circumstances, they were able to destroy 90 percent of the rBGH hormone, and that’s what the FDA reported – that pasteurization destroys 90 percent of the hormone. “

Essentially, the entire scientific method was bastardized and rigged, and used as an incredibly deceptive, yet effective, mechanism to convince people that rBGH was safe.

“In fact, I talked to a former Monsanto scientist who said he was aware that colleagues had fed genetically modified corn to certain rodents and came up with problems,” Smith says. “But instead of pulling the corn off the market or withdrawing the application, they rewrote the study to hide the incidence of the problems.

He also said that three of his colleagues who were doing safety studies on Monsanto’s genetically modified bovine growth hormone stopped drinking milk after they saw the changes in the milk.”

Here’s a short report I think you might enjoy, by Chris Guillebeau, a world-traveler who is living his dream in a big way.

It has now been downloaded by more than 100,000 people in 60+ countries.

The site is called The Art of Non-Conformity; and the message: you can live life the way you want and help other people at the same time.

If you haven’t read it, you can get your own FREE copy here (and you might want to RSS his site): http://chrisguillebeau.com/manifesto

Among other things, the report includes what Chris likes to call the two most important questions in the universe:

1. What do you really want to get out of life?
2. What can you offer the world that no one else can?
and
3. The clear alternative to being unremarkably average

Someone asked me last Saturday, when I mentioned my new coach, Sydni Craig-Hart at http://SmartSimpleMarketing.com, what was the big deal about her?

“She’s not a big-name, she’s not flashy like Ali Brown is now, she’s not anyone who looks in any way out of the ordinary. How come you’re so excited about her, Angela?’

Precisely because of all that. In most cases, when you look up the big-name coaches, you can’t have access to them without paying both arms, both legs, your first-born and half your blood. If you don’t, you end up with one of their unknown coaches-for-hire who I wouldn’t know from Adam or Eve. Why would I want to do that?

I wanted someone who knew what she was doing, didn’t charge 43 million bucks a milli-second just because she has a big name, and who could get me where I want t go.

I don’t want flash and dash. I’m not a flashy person, and I don’t care about flash and dash. What I do want is

As I shift into more and more into doing more artwork and having more interactions in the world of art, as well as creating a cohesive collection of products and services from the legacy of coaching materials I’ve created over the past few years, sometimes it gets just a bit hectic, and I hardly know what to do when!

I do so many things in so many worlds that sometimes I find it hard to focus and go about directed action.

So I just hired a new business coach. I’m very excited about it because I believe she can help me do what I want to do in a more organized, stress-free manner.

I’m telling you about her because

I love this video – what if we watched it each morning to remind ourselves how easy it can be?

Who cares where the energy is coming from? All we need is a prayer, an intention, of happiness for ourselves and others. The energy will do its job.

You might want to watch this video first, to see the intro, HERE.

I love FineArtAmerica.com!

It’s for artists who want a print on demand service that will make their images into prints on posters, paper and canvas – it’s awesome.

I had been looking for a site like this for ages – then EFTer/photographer JoAnn Skywatcher told me about it (thanks, JoAnn!).

So I built my own site there – check it out! This is the site I get as an upgraded artist with print on demand services: http://AngelaTreat-Lyon.Artistwebsites.com

Now I can get prints of all the images I’ve had stashed away on my hard drive that I’d have loved to do prints for, but it was sooo much hassle, and so expensive!

Now instead of ordering from me, you can go there and get the size, paper or cnavas or greeting card you want without any hassle at all!

Do you do handmade jewelry or crafts?

Small prints or T-shirts (with your logo, sayings, drawings or unique photos on them)?

If so, you might want to create a site on http://Etsy.com.

It isn’t for everyone, but maybe it’s for you. It’s a fabulous source for people who want handmade creations.

Last year alone, people on sold $180.6 million-worth of goods. That wake you up up a bit?

I can hardly believe these women do what they do with their bodies! Are you in that good shape? Whew!
