When we don't charge enough for our services or products and run our businesses on minimal resources, the impression we make on others is not that we offer help but that we need help. Most of us don't really want anything that is not freely and enthusiastically given. Design your business practices so that you deliver your work with authentic generosity so that both you and your clients and customers can thrive.203 views

We woke up Saturday morning to perhaps one of the most perfect days in Patagonia. The birds were singing in full glory to welcome the rising sun above the serene Patagonian landscape. The sky was as blue as the sea and clear except for a few lazy powder puff clouds lingering off in the distance.108 views

Enlightenment is not searching for perfection… it is finding perfection in the most unusual and disorderly things. Enlightenment is not wishing you had something that you didn’t, but even with nothing always having all that you need.343 views

There was something magical about holistic care and looking to nature for the answers. I started to look at plants as more of a way of life, and not just something I enjoy because of their impressive beauty.503 views

For the past 12,000 years farmers have saved the best seeds each year to increase yields and improve traits for the food we eat," said Dave Murphy, founder and Executive Director of Food Democracy Now! "In 1996, when Monsanto sold its first patented genetically modified (GMO) seed to farmers, this radically changed the idea of how farmers planted and saved seed."111 views

People often ask me what made me decide to give up my consulting-career and live the uncertain life of a social entrepreneur. My answer is that it is because I am a stubborn fool. Foolish enough to try things that many people say are impossible: building a business with thousands of illiterate, unorganized farmers in Ghana, or trying to make money with Internet in Africa, which most experts say is impossible. And I am stubborn enough to continue trying, even when things are tough.248 views

The truth is, most cleaning products on the market are toxic chemical cocktails, and when you spritz your bathtub or kitchen counter with that brightly colored liquid you're exposing yourself and your family to endocrine-disrupting phthalates, carcinogenic benzene, and organ-damaging phenols, just to name a few.671 views

It dawned on Ms. Nelson, who also has worked as a marketing and communications consultant for businesses, that there was something she could do to help meet this need. Her vision was to create a win-win solution whereby clients in need can obtain alternative health care treatments at a reduced cost and whereby practitioners can grow their businesses by dramatically increasing their clientele. Hence, the “Wellness Networx.” Wellness Networx is a network of alternative health care providers in and around the Boulder area that offers services at affordable discounted rates for members.98 views

I find the rhino more noble than Jerry. There is a perfection in the beast, which the killer hiding behind his gun (and the backup guns all around him) lacks. I believe paying hunters are cowards and thieves. They hide under the strong arms of the professional hunter. They are stealing a false sense of virility, which they wear like the cheapest cologne on the planet. They don the fool's grin, but not in a good way.374 views

Increasingly, we know what we’re against. It’s now time to decide what we’re for. And how to get from here to there. The Economics of Happiness Conference will focus on an agenda for change — away from jobless growth towards sustainable livelihoods; from large-scale sweatshops towards scaled-down business; from self-recrimination and guilt towards empowerment and collaboration; from a globalized system of exploitation and inequality towards an economics of happiness.126 views

Just like when you settle into Warrior I, you start with your foundation and make sure your feet are pulling the floor into your core as your energy moves your hips and chest forward and up as your body eases into your legs. This same process applies to your Facebook community, you have to feed and nourish your community with quality content, growing with clients and eventually potential clients as people who Like your Page on Facebook and Share your content.194 views

Neil Carman, PhD, scientific advisor to Sierra Club, is troubled by EPA's complacency. "A huge shoe has dropped. U.S. researchers have documented major adverse impacts from clothianidin seed treatments in corn on honey bee health." Carman further explains "Because of the vital role played by honey bees in crop pollination, honey bee demise threatens the production of crops that produce one-third of American diets, including nearly 100 fruits and vegetables. The value of crops pollinated by bees exceeds $15 billion in the U.S. alone."202 views

I don’t really want to argue about it. It is what it is. Both sides have pretty compelling arguments for who is right - so like the god question I think it is an unanswerable question therefore maybe we need to focus not on getting people to agree with us but on how we can live together and cause the least suffering possible for all creatures.826 views
