Live for the Moment!

Education at it’s purest.  People at their finest.  Life at it’s ultimate bliss.

This combination can make television feel like a gift from god versus it’s normal electronic disturbance. Watching ‘Live for the Moment’ was like hearing your favorite song, where for a brief moment everything comes together in perfect harmony. Well, except for the fact that viewing it is accompanied by FAR more tears.  I think living life to the fullest should be as crucial as math and science in our education systems.  What good our the tools for life if not shown the brilliance of life itself.

Live For The Moment reveals how one person’s life-changing event inspired them to live life to the fullest. Host Jeff Probst takes someone on a series of adventures and experiences that create special life moments with their family and friends. This person shares their inspiring insights on how they now live their life differently and, in doing so, will possibly change the way others live, too.  Jeff Probst, Inc. and Mark Burnett Productions.

To be able to share in the true emotions and brilliant adventure of a complete stranger that you will probably never meet is something truly magical. Big, gracious and humble thanks to Jeff Probst and Mark Burnett for bringing adventure into all of our lives.

The Peaceful Warrior with Nick Nolte

This movie is absolutely brilliant!  A truly fantastic role for Nick Nolte to play!

I’ve had this book for a couple of years and haven’t found the time to read it, I’ve  also repeatedly been told about the movie for years.  Let’s just say yesterday wasn’t my happiest day ever … more like one of those days where it feels like the world is sitting on your chest.  I finally watched the Peaceful Warrior last night and it couldn’t have been better timing, it literally lifted all the weight and allowed me to take deep renewing and refreshing breaths.  I would recommend watching it any time and ESPECIALLY if your having a hard time of things.

The Peaceful Warrior is based on the book by Dan Millan.  The film is an inspiring drama directed by Victor Salva, starring Nick Nolte and Amy Smart.  It’s available for instant play on netflix and for rent on DVD.

The Cove Movie will Rock your World and Save your Life!

O.K. I know this is the ‘Happy Blog’ and this post may not make you happy … BUT, if it helps keep you and your children alive and healthy then that makes me VERY HAPPY!


The Cove movie can save your life and the life of your children, put it in your Netflix que today or go rent it!  You’ll be amazed! Just in case you don’t see it here are the quick facts:

    1. Mercury is a poison that we are not suppose to touch, yet it is injected into CHILDREN!  Thimerosal is a mercury-containing preservative that is contained in vaccinations.
    2. In 1989 the vaccine regime started a rapid increase from 3 to 28!  I’m sure you’ve heard the controversy of vaccines and autism, simple fact – yes it’s true!  The #1 reason is because mercury is contained in the vaccinations.  We do not have 30+ year olds with autism because they were not being injected with large amounts of mercury.  That is no longer the case and now 1 in every 157 children is diagnosed with autism in the US and as high as 1 in every 80 boys.  Still don’t believe me … the Amish do not adhere to the vaccine regime, the Amish do not have Autism.  There has never been a scientific study of the effect Thimerosal has on humans … BAD F.D.A.!  Drug companies shut down those who try to study Thimerosal before they even begin.
    3. 27,000 Dolphins are slaughtered in Taiji, Japan every year!

    4. The #1 reason for this slaughter is the search for show bottle nose dolphins (a.k.a. Flipper) which can sell for $150,000.  The ones who don’t ‘qualify’ are inhumanely butchered and then sold for their meat at $600 per dolphin.
    5. You can stop the slaughter!  DO NOT swim with captured dolphins on your vacation!  DO NOT go to Sea World or other dolphin aquariums!

    6. Dolphin meat is not sought after and poisonous!  For this reason it is falsely labeled and sold in Japan to unaware consumers.  There is a media blackout in Japan that prevents the citizens from being aware.
    7. The acceptable mercury limits for human consumption is 4ppm (parts per million) dolphin meat contains 2000ppm.
    8. Be aware, the larger the fish you eat the more mercury ppm it contains!  That’s right, typically the more expensive the fish the more poison you are consuming.  Stick to the little guys or stay away from it all together.

‘BE SURE TO WATCH THE ‘MERCURY RISING’ SEGMENT IN THE SPECIAL FEATURES ON THE DVD!

Jill Bolte Taylor's Stroke of Insight

It is a remarkable thing when science discovers the energy of  humans.  Be mindful of the energy you put out into the world whether words are spoken or not your energy will make the same impression.  Happy and kind thoughts to all this holiday season.  Especially to your family and loved ones who’s numbers and proximity may test your field of happy calm energy!

One morning, a blood vessel in Jill Bolte Taylor’s brain exploded. As a brain scientist, she realized she had a ringside seat to her own stroke. She watched as her brain functions shut down one by one: motion, speech, memory, self-awareness …

Amazed to find herself alive, Taylor spent eight years recovering her ability to think, walk and talk. She has become a spokesperson for stroke recovery and for the possibility of coming back from brain injury stronger than before. In her case, although the stroke damaged the left side of her brain, her recovery unleashed a torrent of creative energy from her right. From her home base in Indiana, she now travels the country on behalf of the Harvard Brain Bank as the “Singin’ Scientist.”
