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

Eagle-eyed webcam viewer saves man’s life: A woman admiring a picturesque view live online helped save a man from freezing to death.

The woman, who hasn’t been named, was watching the sun set over the frozen North Sea on a tourist webcam when she spotted a man wandering on the ice…when the man lost his bearings, the air temperature was below freezing so he could easily have frozen to death or fallen through the ice if it hadn’t been for his online helper.

Who said people don’t care?

It’s been my own personal experience that the more I help people live the way they’d like to live, the more fulfilled and happy I, myself, feel.

I think the best part of it, though, is enjoying the people who come to me for coaching, and seeing them discover how to stride from mountain top to mountain top after years of miserable slogging through the muck.

Now, one of your innate skills might be helping people, too. Do you find that people come to you and ask you what to do or how to do it – and you answer and spend time with them and feel happy to help – but you don’t get paid?

What if you could get paid for something that is so natural to you?

What a concept! Instead of wondering what to do next or hating your job or doing something just to get by, imagine doing something you love and the rest of the world supporting you in that! What if you learned how to be a bona fide Health Coach?

You can not only make a good living helping others do what they say they want to do – like, be healthy?!? – and you can feel fulfilled and on track, yourself.

I bet you didn’t know that health coaching has proven to be 91% effective. That’s a pretty amazing statistic. Wouldn’t you love to be a part of that?

What if you could:
•  Help people not get sick in the first place!
•  Create a lifestyle of health
•  Help people stay on track

Just take a minute and imagine being able to dramatically help people to:
•  stop smoking
•  exercise more
•  eat healthier
•  reduce stress
•  incorporate proper nutrition into their diets
•  not to mention helping them be happier & more balanced!

Health Coaching is the fastest growing niche market of all coaching, and presents multiple opportunities for contributing to some of the proposed improvements being discussed today in health care reform. Coaches are also paid very well. They earn an average of over $190 per hour coaching individual clients and some coaches who are conducting group coaching sessions are earning far more than that. You can do this!

So here’s a really good doorway in for you: I suggest that you register for this FREEbie 90- minute tele-training session with Hilton Johnson on WEDNESDAY, JANUARY 20, from 2 – 3:30 pm NY time.

Daring People RATING for SHERRI TENPENNY: 10/10

Last week a friend of mine asked me why I was spending so much time looking online for information about what to do if a person wanted to refuse the mandatory vaccine that seems to be an impending event in the US.

He said, “Why don’t you just trust that all will work out well and not bother?”

I asked him how did he know I didn’t trust?

He answered that he thought that I was spending so much time looking up news stories, verified information and possible options that I must not be trusting.

So I asked him to imagine that we were driving along in my car, and that there was a 900-pound gorilla in the back seat.

Now, my car has a very cramped back seat. It would be next to impossible to fit that gorilla in there, but there he is, all smootched in there.

Can I simply ‘trust’ that everything is ‘going to be alright,’ or would it be smart of me to prepare for whatever might happen once we load that guy in there?

Need I say more?

Pretty obvious. The signs for what’s going on have been around for months, and I want to be prepared–maybe even ready to stay at home and take care of myself in the event that I need to self- quarantine.

I don’t want to be one of the unprepared ones who panic when all of a sudden the news comes out for real that people are being forced into camps indefinitely as terrorists because they refuse the shots. I don’t want to be one of those forced into either a shot or a camp. Do you, really?

Now, maybe there isn’t going to be any such thing happening.

That’s another reason I’m researching this–is it really happening?

From the number of people who are looking into this and setting up support info online, it seems pretty clear. Yes, it seems to be so. But who knows–maybe the powers that be will chicken out in the long run as they see how prepared and educated people are to stand firm for their rights not to have interference from any governing body as to what chemicals are injected into their bodies.

Before you react and tell me that it’s a ‘good thing’ to be inoculated, educate yourself about the real history of inoculations. I, too, thought vaccines were sometimes a good thing, and yes, sometimes they have been.

But I was amazed as I listened to these videos and read the information (that you can DOWNLOAD HERE for FREE–feel free to pass it around).

I was frankly quite blown away by the depth of the available data showing how some of the flu ‘epidemics’ were actually caused by ‘test batches.’ How soldiers were subjected to tests and died in scores. People all over the world–same.

And maybe you didn’t know this: I’m told that if a kid has had no flu shots at all, this fall he will be required to get not one, not two, but four. What do you suppose that will do to his small body? Not a pretty picture. Question: is it really ‘law’ that he ‘has to’ get these shots? Or is it simply blindly followed policy?

So before you shrug it all off and ‘trust’ that it all will go well–which it will, no matter which way it goes–be informed. Make a knowing choice about how you want to prepare–to get the shot, not get the shot, self-quarantine.

Don’t allow anyone else to choose for you.

Here is a bunch of some of the best info I have found find so far. I have a call in to interview Dr. Sherri Tenpenny this week if I can. She’s one of the most active people trying to get information out about this whole thing.

Read the entirety of the following article by Dr. SHERRI TENPENNY at newswithviews.com/Tenpenny/sherri1.htm

“Humans are intrinsically healthy and tend to remain so if they are given nutritious, non-GMO foods, fresh air, and clean water. We have been blessed with God-given protective barriers against infectious diseases, including our skin and immune system.

“Knowing that these facts are true for all members of the human species, how did we come to embrace the idea that injecting solutions of chemically-treated, inactivated viruses, parts of bacteria, traces of animal tissue and heavy metals, such as mercury and aluminum, was a reasonable strategy for keeping human beings—babies, children and adults—healthy?

“If a “dirty bomb” exposed a large segment of US citizens simultaneously to Hepatitis B, Hepatitis A, tetanus, pertussis, diphtheria, Haemophilus influenza B, three strains of polio viruses, 3 strains of influenza viruses, measles, mumps, and rubella viruses, the chickenpox virus, and 7 strains of Streptococcus bacteria, we would declare a national emergency. We would call it an “extreme act of BIOTERRORISM”. The public outcry would be immense and our government would act accordingly.

“And yet, those are the very organisms that we inject through vaccines into our babies and our small children, with immature, underdeveloped immune systems. Many are given all at the same time. But instead of bioterrorism, we call it “protection.” Reflect a moment on that irony.”

And here’s part of one she calls: THE TRUTH ABOUT THE FLU SHOT
Sherri Tenpenny, DO

What’s in the regular flu shot?
* Egg proteins: including avian contaminant viruses
* Gelatin: can cause allergic reactions and anaphylaxis are usually associated with sensitivity to egg or gelatin
* Polysorbate 80 (Tween80™): can cause severe allergic reactions, including anaphylaxis. Also associated with inferility in female mice.
* Formaldehyde: known carcinogen
* Triton X100: a strong detergent
* Sucrose: table sugar
* Resin: known to cause allergic reactions
* Gentamycin: an antibiotic
* Thimerosal: mercury is still in multidose flu shot vials

US MAN HELPS SUICIDAL KIWI

This is one of those stories that gives you back your faith in your fellow human beings. It would have been really easy for this guy to not pay any attention to this at all. But he did, and as a result another man all the way on the other side of the world was given what he needed. Very cool. Read more HERE.

THE ARMADILLO BRINGS PEACE & QUIET

This is an unusal and so-far effective way to deal with crummy neighbors..wish there was one here for those dogs across the street who yap 24/7….

By Carrie Porter
“PEORIA, Ill. — This industrial city, hard hit by the recession, has found a new, low-budget way to fight crime: Park an unmanned, former Brink’s truck bristling with video cameras in front of the dwellings of troublemakers.

“The ugliness of the Armadillo is what makes it unique,” says Jim Pasco, executive director of the National Fraternal Order of Police. “A police car is not a particular stigma, but if people see that thing in front of your house, they know something bad is going on in there.”

WEBSITE / INFORMATION RATING: 10/10

FROM The STORY of STUFF : There must be Another Way

“We are humungous waste makers in this country. Nationally, we generate over 250 million tons of garbage each year, and that is only the municipal waste – or garbage – which doesn’t even include the much larger amounts of waste from industries, mining, and construction.

“We make enough garbage each year in the U.S. to fill a convoy of 10-ton trucks long enough to wrap around the earth six times!”

“Annie Leonard is author and host of the online film, The Story of Stuff, a fast paced, fact filled expose on the hidden environmental and social costs of current systems of production and consumption. The film has become an internet phenomenon, generating over 6.5 million views in 200 countries and territories since its launch in December 2007.

“Annie has spent nearly two decades investigating and organizing on environmental health and justice issues. She has traveled to 40 countries, visiting literally hundreds of factories where our stuff is made and dumps where our stuff is dumped. Witnessing first hand the horrendous impacts of both over- and under- consumption around the world, Annie is fiercely dedicated to reclaiming and transforming our industrial and economic systems so they serve, rather than undermine, ecological sustainability and social equity.

“Many people who have seen The Story of Stuff have asked what they can do to address the problems identified in the film. She says:

“Each of us can promote sustainability and justice at multiple levels: as an individual, as a teacher or parent, a community member, a national citizen, and as a global citizen. As Annie says in the film, “the good thing about such an all pervasive problem is that there are so many points of intervention.” That means that there are lots and lots of places to plug in, to get involved, and to make a difference. There is no single simple thing to do, because the set of problems we’re addressing just isn’t simple. But everyone can make a difference, but the bigger your action the bigger the difference you’ll make.”

PRODUCT RATING: 0/10

This is a clip from Annie Leonard’s blog at the Story of Stuff, where she discusses a men’s sahving gel she discovered….

“Occasionally, I see some product that just freaks me out. That happened last week. I can’t stop thinking about this thing.

“It is a new men’s shave gel, which I read about in the New York Times (http://www.nytimes.com/2008/03/04/business/media/04adco.html).

“The product is called NXT, which is pronounced “next” and is made by Clio Designs. The shower gel itself is comprised of clear gel balls in a plastic bottle. But the gel is irrelevant. The whole article was about the bottle. NXT is packaged in a triangular shaped bottle with a light blue hue. The thing that freaked me out about this is that every single bottle has an LED light and 2 to 3 triple AAA batteries in it.

BATTERIES IN THE PACKAGING?

“Two or three batteries in the PACKAGE, not even for the product ???? Batteries have such toxic components that many cities ban their disposal in the regular garbage and require them to be dropped at a household hazardous waste facility. We’re supposed to be designing toxics out of our production systems!

“The product designer’s idea is that the bottle will let off a light blue light which will draw us to the shelves to buy it. News articles about the bottles say they “will glow on the shelves, inviting customers to pick them up. Every 15 seconds, a light-emitting diode in the bottom of the container flares on, stays lighted for a few seconds, then fades out.” What are we, moths?

“I found pictures and more details on the product’s website, (whatsnxt.net) which explains that “…our products contain a mini-computer with LED lighting in the base. One bottle alone is cool but the whole line together is an experience.”

An experience?? No it’s not. It is a bunch of bottles, and stupidly designed ones at that.”

Need I add anything else? What’s so fascinating is the glib copy on the promo site where they cite the fact that (one of) the plastics they use is biodegradable, and part of the ingredients are ‘natural’…huh?

What do you think? Comments are open….

INSPIRATION RATING: 10/10

I’m particularly pleased to have found out about Rupa Marya because she is such an inspiration to those of us who are not strictly right or left brain oriented.

She’s the perfect embodiment of the idea that left informs right, right enhances left.She juggles two seemingly disparate careers–and thrives doing it!

In short, she decided to go for her doctorate, but couldn’t stay away from music. She decided to do both–and kept each side secret from the other! As I searched for other viable news reports about her, I found these two articles below. I hope you enjoy reading about her!

From ABC news: (Read the whole thing HERE)
“Rupa Marya grew up seriously thinking she would become a doctor. She also wanted to be a singer, it was what her parents – immigrants from India wanted for her as well. Her heart was also in music so she felt pressure to choose between medicine or music.”

From Boston: (Read the whole thing HERE)
She says, “”Watching this country become more fearful and journalists becoming the mouthpiece of the administration, I became so angry,” says Marya, on the phone from Sweden. She performs with the April Fishes Tuesday at Johnny D’s as part of a North American tour that includes the Montreal Jazz Festival and Quebec City’s Festival d’Été.

“I couldn’t pick up my guitar,” Marya says. “It was too painful. But then I started to think about what would it be like to create music that reflected what I wanted to see in the world, to give a voice to the things that weren’t getting any airtime. I started with an assignment to write 10 songs about love, compassion, and uncertainty in a time of love across borders.

“How we’re conveying information to one another is something that’s very interesting to me,” Marya says. “As a doctor, there are so many ways you can miscommunicate, and it’s always a challenge. How do you tell somebody they’re dying? How do you tell an audience that people in their neighborhood are living with so much fear of being deported that they don’t seek proper medical help? It’s like the riddle of my life, and I explore it several different ways, through music, and through these kinds of investigations.”
