This Show travels between New York, Chicago, mainly,
but on different years comes West to L.A.
I have attended the show three or four times
and will likely come in this year on my Press Credential

Every in the Know about Health reads Curezone!
This year, I will be traveling to the BEA with Media Star
KEEP THE BEET, the Poster Plant for the Mini Portable Enchanted Garden
AKA the World Peace Breakout Startup Kit.
KEEP THE BEET's has a number of Cousin plants, sort of like
Other Hollywood Stars have Standins.
One of her "Fellow" plants is now traveling to Whole Foods Markets
across the country as part of the Conscious Goods Alliance Veggie Oil Run
Bus Tour.
One year, I was being considered to be the Photographer for the BEA.
There were two finalists in the running.
By the Grace of God, I did not get that Job.
That is an incredible story.
I had in mind I needed $1200.00 that year for a Special upcoming
Enchanted Garden Project.
The job was going ot pay $1200.00.
Because of my Special Needs, I wear Sandals.
This can feek a bit out of place at some Social Outings
at BEA.
When I came to the BEA, one of the first people I ran into was
the photographer who did get the job.
He was running around like a Chicken without a head!
Please! That is not the way this photographer,
likes to carry out my PHoto Assignments.
So how was I going to come up with that $1200????
On the second night, I attended the publisher's party
where Dawson Church was showing books. He is an old friend
and was part of the industry at the time.
Al Jacobson, the founder of Garden of Eaten food was sitting
at one of the tables. He was the Corn Chip King, and a dear old ally
from the Health Shows. Once year, Harpo and I were doing a booth
at one show in San Diego. Al came up. He said, I do not know what you are
selling, but I would like one dozen!
That night I saw Al, I had a camera around my neck.
We were already old friends. I asked him to join the Enchanted Garden Club.
I had in mind a contribution level of about $100.00.
He said, "send me a letter. I will send you $1000.00."
To say the least, he appreciated this Enchanted Garden
Ministry that Records a History of Peace on Earth.
So there I was. I had $1000.00.
The following night, I was totally exhausted.
I went to the HCI event.
A little know star named Mark Victor Hansen and my Old Ally
Jack Canfield from the Mandala Holistic Health Days, were putting
on a evening. Mark and Jack were on the program with the other
books put out that year by HCI.
I was really feeling down that down, just plain pooped out.
I did not even bring in my camera.
I had already know mark through our mutal acquaintance.
Terry Cole Whittaker. He had reached out to me numbers of times
in a Spirit of real Kindness and Brotherly loved.
He started to talk. I started to get Excited.
When Your Enchanted Gardener gets excited look out!
I left the room. I walked across the street to the Persian Square garage.
I got my camera. I came back.
I started to take photos at the HCI event.
At one point Mark came up to me, and said,
"My photographer did not show up. I am going to need those photos!
How much is it going to cost me?"
It did not take too long for me to answer that question.
$200.00," I said. He said "Yes!"
I had my $1200.00
There was more to that story.
The book they were bringing out was the first edition
of "CHicken Soup for the Soul."
I mainly choose the projects I Seed Dream, based
on the Heart and Soul I feel.
I wanted that book to succeed.
On the way home to San Diego, I stopped at the Taylor's Herb Farm.
There was a stream that ran through the property.
I set up a table in the middle of the trickling stream.
I put The HCI Books on the table.
I started to read "Chicken Soup for the Soup:"
I was imagining its success, years before "The Secret"
was anything but a seed Dream in someone else's Minds eye.
The Rest is History.
IF I have the time, I will put up one of those photos from that day.
Hope to see you at this year's BEA!

Hain Celestial is the new owner of
Garden of Eatin. Here is a brief Bio on
Al Jacobson taken from their site:
http://www.gardenofeatin.com/about_us/about_goe.php
Garden of Eatin'® was founded almost 35 years ago by Al Jacobson, a visionary who was always several steps ahead of his contemporaries. He first toyed with the idea of becoming a vegetarian in the early 1900s when as a toddler living on a farm in Pennsylvania, he discovered the family ate his favorite playmate, the chicken! Fast forward to the 1940s when he dabbled in yoga, metaphysics and became a traveling product demonstrator for Hain Pure Foods, an organic company on the West Coast.
In the early 1970s, Al let his spiritual side guide him to start his own health food company – Garden of Eatin’ with the launch of Bible Bread, organic whole wheat pita. Then in 1986, after he followed his natural health instincts and purchased tons of organic blue corn, Al decided to produce Blue Corn Chips. In keeping with his unorthodox approach, the chips were launched at a major fancy foods show and they took off! Since then, Garden of Eatin’ has introduced over 20 varieties of all natural tortilla chips, each of them true to Al’s inspiring outlook on life and healthy snacks.
In 1998, Garden of Eatin’ became a part of The Hain Celestial Group, Inc., a natural and organic foods company Dedicated to a Healthy Way of Life™. Since then, Garden of Eatin’ has expanded its product line into several new categories including: Organic Taco Shells and Taco Dinner Kits; Organic Microwave Popcorn; Pita Chips; and Toasted Corn Nuts.
The Garden of Eatin' family of products contains no trans fat or hyd
