CM's Final Posts: You Can Fill the Space
Eighteen years ago, I wrote an article for a magazine that got me called in for a taped interview with a Fox TV morning news anchor. Being an effective communicator and a skillful public speaker was a dream of mine at the time. And still is.
After some 30 minutes of prep with the station's hair-and-

Websites to Visit, Blogs to Read
Here are some blogs and websites I like. It's not a complete list. But it's a start.
The first is called New Moon Journal and it is written by Michele Bailey-Lessirard, a life coach, collage artist, and "shamanic astrologer." On the opening page of her site, you'll find a little slide show of her am

Still Posted at My Desk
"Take off from here. And don't be so earnest,
let others wear the sackcloth and the ashes.
Let go, let fly, forget.
You've listened long enough. Now strike your note."

And Finally, This:
Place your burden
at the feet of the Lord of the Universe
who accomplishes everything.
Remain all the time steadfast in the heart,
in the Transcendental Absolute.
God knows the past, present and future.
He will determine the future for you
and accomplish the work.

Don't Pierce Your Belly Button
I caught the following conversation between two pretty women in the ladies' room of a Manhattan restaurant. One of the women was pregnant. And she said, "So my acupuncturist made me take the ring out of my belly button."
"Really?" her friend exclaimed.
"Yeah, he said, 'Let's give this baby a chance.

It was bound to happen. Read all about the plastic grocery bag ban in San Francisco here, and then buy some of these or this great site’s many other options so you’ll be prepared when the same ordinance is passed in your town.

This initiative makes me proud to be a SAN FRANCISCAN. I like a tiny percentage have been using fabric bags for years but to make the effort most people need “the PUSH” that motivates them to think about the harm this small but lethal act has on our lives/environment/wildlife. A giant step forward for mankind is making man kind to nature.

I contrast this ordinance with the new initiative in a Shop Rite near my town in NJ that will start charging 18 cents for a brown paper bag. The only saving grace about those plastice bags is that I try and find other uses for them around the house and that does make me feel better about my contribution to helping the environment. I do think that shoppers who spend $300 a trip will have a difficult time using the cloth bags!

SanFrancisco just catching on, eh?At least 20 years ago my mother made my sister,myself and herself our own reusable bags with our initials on them out of ripstop nylon, and i continue to use them to this day. Perhaps, SanFran is not on the cutting edge after all, just catching up with us original environmentalists in Montana after all. How soon before the rest of the world steps up?
