Health

How old are you really?  Real Age has the most amazing test that will tell you how old your body is based on how you treat yourself; body, mind and spirit.  The 'Test' takes a fair amount of time but it presents extremely useful information and is well worth the time spent doing it.  When you sign up they do send you email tips from time to time but the the emails are not excessive and are usually interesting.  The site is co-founded two of our favorite (and Oprah's) medical advisors, Dr. Mehmet Oz and Dr. Michael Roizen.

Inspiring Sites

...a little celebration happens every time we receive a ripple of kindness, which inspires us to create more which comes back to us in countless ways...The Ripples Project has a really wonderful (and short) newsletter that arrives in your mailbox every Monday morning.  Ok, now for a short story:  The guy that started the Ripples Project is Paul Wesselmann.  A couple of years ago he bought a product from a website that I was involved with.  I subsequently sent him an email  news letter (since I had his email address from the order he placed.) Oh boy, very big mistake!  Leave it to a writer/speaker to write the most succinctly scathing 'please remove me from your mailing list' email that I have ever received.  Now, admittedly, he had not signed up for our news letter, and more importantly, I had not asked him if he wanted to receive our news letter which he very clearly pointed out.  So I had a couple of choices, I could just remove him from my mailing list, or I could contact him and apologize for my ignorant mistake and still remove him from my mailing list.  I opted to send an email where I apologized and explained that I wasn't aware of the whole concept of opt-in marketing.  His response still makes my heart smile.  He became the 'teacher', explained his frustration, and put me on to the most amazing author of web marketing books, Seth Godin.  I learned so much from this whole encounter and am extremely grateful for the set of circumstances that triggered it.  Paul, if you ever happen to read this, let me know if you want me to remove it from the site.  I know from past experience that I should ask you for permission to share the story....but in this instance, I'm more of a mind to ask for forgiveness (again)....

Amazing People

Ok, if you haven't already figured it out, we love Oprah  She is: an exceptionally strong mature female role model, extremely generous, kind, caring, socially responsible and willing to put her money where her mouth is....and we can't say enough good about her because of it.

And, as long as we're on the subject, hats of to Bill and Melinda Gates and the foundation that they established.  They are using their collective wealth to literally make the world a better place to live.

Dr. Wayne Dyer puts words to the beliefs that I have always held.  He is an internationally renowned author and speaker in the field of self-development and self-discovery.  Dr. Dyer has generously donated an amazing amount of time to Public Radio, generally during their annual fund raising campaigns which, in turn, has done much to bring his message of light out into the world.
