I am going to bed, but I think some of you would like to get ane-letter to congress. N'cest?
The Organic Consumers Association (OCA) needs your immediate help to stop Congress and the Bush administration from seriously degrading organic standards. After 35 years of hard work, the U.S. organic community has built up a multi-billion dollar alternative to industrial agriculture, based upon strict organic standards and organic community control over modification to these standards.
Now, large corporations such as Kraft, Wal-Mart, & Dean Foods--aided and abetted by the U.S. Department of Agriculture (USDA) are moving to lower organic standards by allowing a Bush appointee to create ... read more Hardrive Crash? 19 y

Preparation Is The Key
I had some time scheduled off, and had many things planned to do during that time off. Knowing me, though, that basically meant I had work to do, but work that was outside of my consulting work. However, the day I came home from my consulting assignment, a Friday afternoon, within 30 minutes my computer decided it didn’t want to be a part of my life any more, and suddenly died. From that Friday until ten days later, I was without my main computer, and it turned parts of my life upside down.
Although, being diligent, I had backed up all my printed or written fi ... read more Affirmations 19 y

”One way to make it clear that you are listening to your child is to repeat what you think your child has just told you. You can use phrases like, ”Sounds like you are saying...” or ”Are you saying...”
Ask you child questions -- lots of questions! Encourage creativity, thinking skills, and problem solving. Learning how to find answers is a lifelong skill. Ask who, what when, where and w ... read more R U Better Off than 4 yrs ago? 19 y

COMMENT: Are You Better Off Now?
Dear A-Letter Reader:
The inimitable Oscar Wilde wrote in one of his plays: ”Experience is the
name everyone gives to their mistakes.”
As the fourth anniversary of the 9-11-01 terrorists attacks passes, the
people of the United States have every reason to question whether their
”leaders” and governments have learned anything from those thousands of
needless deaths and from events of the ensuing four years.
If the bureaucratic morass of the before and after of Hurricane Katrina
is the example, our so-called leaders have shown themselves to be

A Failure of Leadership
By BOB HERBERT
Published: September 5, 2005
”Bush to New Orleans: Drop Dead”
Neither the death of the chief justice nor the frantic efforts of panicked White House political advisers can conceal the magnitude of the president’s failure of leadership last week. The catastrophe in New Orleans billowed up like the howling winds of hell and was carried live and in color on television screens across the U.S. and around the world.

WRITING ARTICLES
Writing an article is a great way to raise your profile in your industry and/or profession. Published authors are perceived as experts and more knowledgeable than others in the profession. If you’ve discovered an interesting way of doing something at work that you think others would like to know about, that could be a great topic for an article. Of course if it’s something unique to your company, you need to make sure your employer wouldn’t consider it a proprietary trade secret. Another potential topic is discussing what you foresee happening in your industry or pr ... read more Covey; Leaders listen 19 y

Jim Rohn is a coach that has been coaching financial advisors since dirt was made...He has some stuff that I really resonate with and some I do not. Since I have been studying words for 9-10 years now-much in the sense of "the power of your word" which equals your integrity and your word being the equal- a simple enough relationship- as in reciprocity
WORDS/VOCABULARY
The two great words of antiquity are behold and beware. Behold the possibilities and beware the temptations.
Vocabulary enables us to interpret and to express. If you have a limited vocabulary, you will also have a limited vision and a limited future.
Well chosen words mixed with measured emotions is the basis of affecting people.

Words do two major things: They provid ... read more Leadership Miracles 19 y
God intended me to play full out, fall down, get up, wipe myself off, and go 150% like there is no tomorrow, and when I am down and tired and have nothing left to give...accessing my beautiful heart that he blessed me with allows me to give it one more try..The courage to look stupid, the courage to do the outlandish and answer the why's (responsibly) afterwards..To live fully and in the moment- gets a little messy at times...BUT and this is a big BUT- If I can maintain love and caring for others my actions will ALWAYS be tempered with concern for them.....This is why God gives us the ability to give completely-even when it COURAGE to do so...Or perhaps it's more about lack of attachemnt to outcome..and allowing-yes that is what is about
FORMULA FOR CREATING MIRACLES
1. Know what you don’t want. (That’s easy.)
2. Decide what you do want. (Reverse #1.)
3. Get clear. (You attract what you believe.)
4. Feel your intention already achieved. (Ahhh, yes!)
5. Let go. (Trust, as you take inspired action.)

LEADERSHIP
The key to authentic leadership is to listen to your followers, and then open the door for them to lead themselves. The secret is empowerment. The main incentive is genuine caring and recognition.
The five most important words a leader can speak are: ”I am proud of you.”
The four most important are: ”What is your opinion?”
The three most important are: ”If you please.”
The two most important are: ”Thank You.”
And the most important single wo ... read more Communication: Gracious Space 19 y

I have a blog entitled Spirit of Money...my inspiration for creating this blog was the misuse of public trust of leaders for self-dealing, fraud, and corruption. This activity begged the question ”What are our cultural values, goals, and are our lives aligned with our heart and soul?”
Since the creation of ”The Spirit of Money” there has been an epic cleansing of our corporate structure by Spitzer, and others who, in the process, have made a name for themselves.
U.S. corporate structure continues to exibit a terrible constipation of ethics and money; while a steady march of those le ... read more |
