This is the InspireMeToday.com Luminary note for today. I liked it so much I just had to share it with you.
You can either go HERE and read it, or just scroll down for the whole thing.
If you’re not yet a member of InspireMeToday.com, I strongly suggest you sign up – it’s a Freebie that’s well worth it for gems like this in your email box every day. (In her intro, InspireMeToday owner, Gail Goodwin, talks about metting Seth – so when you read “I” it’s her speaking, not me!)
Seth Godin – bestselling author, entrepreneur and agent of change.
Go! Make Something Happen. ~ Seth Godin
Today’s Brilliance is from America’s Marketing Guru, Seth Godin. I recently had the privilege of interviewing Seth at his offices in New York. Today’s Brilliance below is from that interview as well as from Seth’s new book, Linchpin.
The introduction to Seth’s new book says it all, “The world has changed and the stakes are higher than ever. Now we’re facing a full -fledged revolution – a hypercompetitive world involving art and gifts and fear and the ability for you or anyone to make an indispensable contribution to something you care about. If you’re not indispensable, yet, it’s because you haven’t made that choice. My goal is to help you see that the choice is yours.”
In order to fully understand the present,
Have you ever had an absolutely outrageous idea for something that you’d really like to do come into your mind and not go away?
Maybe it’s something that you’ve thought about before, and pushed to the back burner or even all the way to the trash simply because even the thought of it was so completely outside your reality.
Or maybe it’s because you just didn’t see how to make it happen, or that you thought you might get a lot of flack for it.
Well, I’ve had an idea like that floating around in my head for a couple of months now. At first I put it in the trash because it simply didn’t fit what I thought I wanted to be doing in the next 6 to 12 months.
But it just wouldn’t stay there. It kept creeping into the back of my mind, onto the back burner, and recently, coming further and further to the front. Until only a couple of days ago, I gave in to it. OK! OK! I get it! Stop bugging me! I’ll do it!
So I’m telling you today that something magical and adventurous is in the dockets for me in the next three months, but I’m not telling you all about it yet, because I want to conserve the creative energy I need in order to get it happening.
In the kind-time, I’ll say this: I have a new, unique program for helping you get new clients and create your success that will knock your socks off.
I’m also creating a teeny tiny group of Elite Intrepid Explorers (12 at the max) who will be able to accompany me, share experiences, feedback and support on this new adventure. It won’t be cheap, but it sure will be extraordinary. I’ll let you know more details within the next week or so. I’m so stoked I can hardly sit still!
If you missed the teleclass this week, you’ll want the audio we made from it now.
Why? Because it was a very powerful call, and as you listen and tap along and do the exercises along with the participants, you can get the same excellent results, too.
I urge you to get it now – not because there is any upcoming deadline you need to meet or anything, but because, more importantly, now is the time we have been waiting for our whole lives. GET IT HERE
We have an amazing opportunity to step forward in these wildly chaotic times and take our stand and say, “Hey! This is how WE want things to go!” And direct the energy in new uplifting directions. And make it happen like we never could before.
So I want you to stop stalling, delaying, waiting, deferring, putting off what your true self wants and knows to be the truth for you. I want you to get up off your butt and increase your energy, your actions and your impact on the world.
When you listen to this audio, not only will you eliminate your procrastination, but you’ll also receive one of the most important tools for shifting your energy in the world (what I’m talking about is faster than tapping, and can be used along with it).
GET IT HERE for just $29.95 (usually would be 79.00).
Have an incredible happy weekend – and I’ll get more information about my new adventure as soon as I can! Can you feel it? I’m buzzing!
You’ll love this - watch how they dance – it’s wonderful.
In my experience, one of the most precious things that help make your life as great as you wish it to be is an unshakable support system. Whether that consists of your family, friends, co-workers, business team or a great coach, that support is essential.
These are the people (or person) to whom you can go and feel safe, and by whom you feel loved and uplifted.
With them, you can open your heart, let your hurts fall out on the floor for examination and healing, without any judgement or criticisms or you-should-haves.
They hold your hand and support you with massive amounts of love as you be with that pile of scary stuff, deal with it, and decide what to do next.
They stand by you as you transform your circumstances, attitudes, thoughts, or situations into working for you, so you end up feeling good, so you feel open and delighted again.
• You know for certain that they have the uplifting energy and sweet, unbiased love and support that only someone who believes in you can give you.
• You know for sure that, even if they don’t have any solutions for your problem, any new perspective through which to look, they still love you without judgement. And that they will be with you until and as you choose something new, something that does work for you.
• You also know that, even if you don’t don’t like what they have to say, they will tell you the truth of their own experience; they will give you their opinion and perspective; and they will tell you how they feel.
• And you know that they will never insist that you do anything their way–that yes, they’ll have their say, but they know that you need to make your own decisions that may even be in direct opposition to what they say or would do, themselves.
To have a person in your life who will be this for you is mightily precious.
It’s a gift beyond measure. It’s like having a rock to lie down on in the sun and breathe in new light and life. It’s strength where there seemed, before, to be none. It’s a line to life when life itself seems impossible. It’s a mirror for the depth of your own power, the power that takes you where ever you want to go.
These are the kind of people who ask you what you’d like to get out of this situation, rather than joining you in blame, shame, resentment or pity parties. You’ve found a gem. What a gift!
If you have not found a person like that, I invite you to become one, yourself, to at least one person. You’ll find out what it’s like, to be that generous, that kind, that truthful. It will grow you faster than you can even begin to imagine. And one day you’ll see that you’ve had people like this in your life the whole time–you just never knew it. You just never recognized them.
Do you have people in your life who love you and support you? Who make you feel safe and like you can do anything you set your mind to? Send them love and gratitude, because they need it, too! 
What do you think? Do you have people like this in your life? Comments are open, and I send you an ocean of love.

A while ago, a friend of mine published a book. I had suggested to her that, before she let it go to the printer, she might make a couple of small changes on the cover that would make it more compelling.
She decided not to, because her designer “had already made lots of changes and I don’t want to bother her, or pay for more changes.”
She was at the effect of her beliefs that, 1. it was too much trouble for the designer, and 2. that it would cost too much.
Well, as a book designer myself, I can tell you that, yes, it can be a pain to make one more change, but so what?
Your designer gets paid for what s/he does; and those changes can make the book or the cover look better and be more sales-worthy – so what if the designer has to take more time? Better to get it right before you go to print than to not do it and regret it later.
It cost her more in the long run from lost sales to not do the changes!
Don’t allow yourself to be held hostage by your beliefs like this. Look ahead at the advantages to be gained by making that scary decision, even if it seems to cost more right now.
Believe in yourself and your project, know that your message has value, and that if you do not do everything you can to make it so that the people who are meant to find your book, audio, teleclass or whatever, find it – they won’t! Make it so your product or service shows up for your people so they will know it’s there. Otherwise – why bother?
CARL JUNG’S RED BOOK
‘…16 years of the psychoanalyst’s dive into his own unconscious mind, a challenge to what he considered Sigmund Frued’s–his former mentor’s–isolated world view. Far from a simple narrative, The Red Book is Jung’s voyage of discovery into his deepest self.
“The voyage began at age 11. “On my way to school,” Jung recalled in 1959, “I stepped out of a mist and I knew I am. I am what I am. And then I thought, ‘But what have I been before?’ And then I found that I had been in a mist, not knowing to differentiate myself from things; I was just one thing among many things.” ” READ MORE HERE
WATER ON THE MOON?
Water had already been found on the moon but the NASA scientists had hoped they could find significant deposits in the permanently shadowed regions of craters, in this case, a crater called Cabeus.
If this water is billions of years old, it could contain information about the formation of the solar system. And if it is widespread, it could be used to… READ THE REST HERE
AWESOME PHOTOS
I love black and white photgraphy because it can be so dramatic and call forth a deeper sense of the Mystery. Each shot in this set is worth a good long pause and careful regard–each one is almost epic in nature. The lone lioness atop a rock formation with the enormous swath of empty plains behind her, a thunderstorm crossing the distant mountains…the tremendous dust and morning mists accompanying a huge herd of buffalo crossing a river…and way more–are a weekend’s worth of gazing in themselves.

ICEBERGS ON THEIR WAY!
In the past day or so at least four icebergs have been spotted off the east and west coasts of the island, ranging in size from 50 metres up to an estimated 2km in length. Like Southern New Zealand isn’t cold enough! READ MORE HERE
CANADA HALTING FLU VACCINE
I love this–at last, people are getting smart! This study suggests that people vaccinated against seasonal flu are actually twice as likely to catch swine flu.
But plans vary across the provinces of Canada. Last month, British Columbia announced it is suspending seasonal flu shots for anyone under 65 years old, joining Quebec, Alberta, Saskatchewan, Ontario and Nova Scotia in halting the immunizations. READ THE WHOLE THING HERE
IS YOUR CELL PHONE REALLY KILLING YOU?
By Camilla Rees, Founder of www.Electromagnetichealth.org
Just prior to the recent Senate hearings on cell phone safety, Chaired by Senator Tom Harkin, the Environmental Working Group (EWG) released a new database for consumers ranking over 1,000 cell phones by the Specific Absorption Rate, known as the SAR value. The SAR value is a measure of the power of the cell phone and its potential for heating tissues.
The SAR value has been available for some time through the FCC’s own databases but has never before been made available in one central, easily accessible source in the United States. Nor is the SAR value listed on box packaging of cell phones at the point of sale for comparison purposes.
All that has changed….READ MORE HERE
Mercola adds:
Many, many biological effects occur at non-heating levels of exposure, including leakage in the Blood Brain Barrier and neuron death at only 0.012 W/kg (compared to the FCC exposure limit for this form of radiation of1.6 W/kg). The blood brain barrier leakage has been shown to continue as long as 50 days after exposure.
THE EARTH TAKES OVER
Global warming has been blamed for the alarming loss of ice shelves in Antarctica, but a new study says newly-exposed areas of sea are now soaking up some of the carbon gas that causes the problem. READ THE REST HERE

BABIES CRY IN MOTHER TONGUE
Just days after birth, German and French infants’ wails mimicked the patterns of their native languages. Researchers believe they started to pick up on the melodies in the third trimester.

They may not be old enough to talk, but babies less than a week old know how to cry in their native language. READ MORE HERE
DON’T DRINK PROCESSED OJ
Dr. Mercola
Many popular orange juice brands have to be chemically altered using ethyl butyrate — a compound that’s added to perfume as well as orange juice — in order to make it taste and smell like oranges!
Further, many commercial orange juices are contaminated with mold from damaged fruit that is processed. So if you drink commercial orange juice regularly you will be exposed to these mold toxins. You know you are buying a heavily processed juice if….READ THE REST HERE
NO HONEYBEES, NO FOOD!
Dr. Mercola
Recent experiments have found that worker bees fail to return to their hives when their navigation skills are interfered by the mobile microwaves. Cell phones were placed near beehives. These hives collapsed totally in 5 to 10 days, with the worker bees failing to return to their homes.
A full one-third of the U.S. food supply depends on pollination from bees. Apple orchards, for instance, require one colony of bees per acre to be adequately pollinated. The California almond crop alone requires 1.3 million colonies of bees, and bees actually add an estimated $15 billion in value to crops like these.
So if bee colonies continue to be wiped out in unprecedented numbers, major food shortages could result, adding to the current food crisis.
In an average year, beekeepers expect to incur losses of between 5 and 10 percent. But in 2007, U.S. beekeepers surveyed by the USDA Agricultural Research Service reported a total loss of about 36 percent of their bee colonies, up from 13.5 percent the year before. MORE HERE
WHERE DID THE NAME FRISBEE COME FROM?
A new book called Anonyponymous: The Forgotten People Behind Everyday Words, written by John Bemelmans Marciano.
Some of the people who donated their names to history did it by accident.
“There was a woman named Mary Frisbie who made pies in Connecticut,” Marciano tells Renee Montagne. “Students would throw around her pie plates after they had finished her pies, and kind of like you would say, ‘Incoming!’ they would say, ‘Frisbie!’ just to give people the heads-up that there was something spinning and flying coming at their head.”
Etienne de Silhouette was a French finance minister whose taxes “turned people into a shadow of themselves.” Luigi Galvani was an Italian physicist who discovered that muscles can be forced to move when administered an electric shock. Jules Leotard was a French acrobat who invented the skintight one-piece athletic outfit. READ MORE HERE

I can hardly believe how scattered I’ve felt all week–so difficult to keep focused.
I had to go back to my own teleclass audio on Keeping On Track and relisten, and recommit to focus on my Dreams instead of on my what’s-wrongness!
A big part of my being unfocused was a feeling of dread. It was so subtle that I didn’t even notice it until a few days ago.
Ever had that feeling? For me, it was a heaviness I couldn’t put my finger on, thoughts that were shades darker than I wanted, a pessimistic thought-trend where anything positive was impossible, and a feeling like I needed to be looking over my shoulder for the next catastrophe.
When I realized what was going on I was so surprised–that just is NOT me! I’m used to being curious, upbeat, inspired, go-for-it, optimistic. Where did this dread come from, anyway?
I did a bunch of tapping on it because it was affecting every part of my life. I asked my Inner Wise Self where this might be coming from–any memories, or thoughts from childhoood…and I came to the conclusion that I had taken on my dad’s war energy.

ARTICLE RATING: 10/10
Will your book stay inside of you and never reach its potential?
This is an article written by my friend, Kathleen Gage, and you can read it here as well. She’s a well-known online marketer and helps authors do Amazon book campaigns.
Over the weekend I was in San Diego for the 21st Century Book Marketing Conference. My colleagues and friends, Christine Kloser and Lynne Klippel and I were exhibitors. We knew this would be a great experience and create amazing opportunities, but the event far exceeded our expectations.
The 21st Century Book Marketing Conference was the vision of Arielle Ford and Mike Koenigs. Their goal was to provide a great learning and networking opportunity for all who attended. They definitely achieved this goal.
Not only was the event held at a wonderful facility, the lineup of speakers was beyond compare. Over and over the speakers, which included Jack Canfield, Dan Poynter , Marci Shimoff, Debbie Ford, John Kremer, Peggy McColl, Rick Frishman, Mari Smith and more, gave insights into the absolute necessity of using social marketing to promote virtually anything…especially books.
Things have changed
The terrain for book publishing and book marketing has drastically changed in the last few years. Options we have today were not available in the past. Amazingly, the things we absolutely must do to not only survive, but thrive, are often ignored by struggling authors.
According to one expert the average yearly income for authors is only $14,000. Holy cow! I was shocked.
It made me wonder why authors wouldn’t do everything possible to learn the art and science of marketing. Sadly, many authors are either doing as little as possible to market their books because they just don’t find it as interesting as writing or they are still using outdated methods to reach readers and sell books.
You have to have control
Repeatedly, 21st Century Book Marketing Conference speakers emphasized how important it is to have Read the rest of this entry »

T-TAPPING
Fit and Fabulous in 15 Minutes
This is a book and series by a gal names Teresa Tapp (t-tapp.com). I bought the book, and I’m here to tell you she has some of the most unusual, unorthodox exercises I’ve ever seen!
I put on a lot of weight after my surgeries this year, and have been using these exercises, but it’s too soon to tell you how great they are from my own experience. But I do love her idea: create health first, nevermind what you eat, get your energy clean, clear and moving. She calls it building neuokinetic transmission.
The exercises are simple, but if your body hasn’t ever moved in these ways, you can be sore for the first couple days. I was! But by the 4th day, no problem! Easy!
HERE and HERE are a couple of her videos so you can see what I mean when I say her exercises are different!

HOW RECESSIONS AFFECT US….
Recessions may be good for your health? Check this out!
New York (Reuters Life!) – Economic downturns may not be good for your bottom line but they might be a boon to your health, according to a study on health trends during the 20 years around the Great Depression.
Researchers from the University of Michigan found U.S. life expectancy increased by 6 years between 1929 and 1932, from 57 to 63, with the increase occurring for both men and women and for whites and non-whites.
The number of deaths from disease, accidents and infant mortality during the Great Depression also fell.
“The finding is strong and counterintuitive,” said researcher Jose Tapia Granados from the university’s Institute for Social Research. “Most people assume that periods of high unemployment are harmful to health.”
The findings, published on Monday in the Proceedings of the National Academy of Sciences, add to previous research showing correlations….

ARE YOU AN EXEMPLAR?
Definitions of exemplar I’ve found online:
• something to be imitated; “an exemplar of success”; “a model of clarity”; “he is the very model of a modern major general”
• Something fit to be imitated; see ideal and model; Something typical or representative of a class; see example; A pattern after which others …
• Concepts, even simple ones, can be difficult to teach. Exemplars are examples to illustrate characteristics of a concept. …
• Models of excellence are known as exemplars.
• Something that serves as a model to be copied.
ARE YOU AN EXEMPLAR? Think this week about how you can become one, and what you’ll do, step by step, to create that….

I’ve shared this information before with my readers, and so far it has gotten good feedback, so I’m pleased to be able to do so again. I think that it’s particularly relevant right now when people are out of jobs, or not knowing what to do to create a profession they want, love, feel great about and that supports them both internally and financially.
So I’m happy to say that Read the rest of this entry »
