TWELVE YEARS IN THE GRAVE, A Memoir

If you followed the Jason Bourne film series, you'll most likely get behind the storyline of  TWELVE YEARS IN THE GRAVE-- with the exception, 'Twelve Years...' is  no movie... it is real.  .~I say again... it is real.

Sharing a link to a book written by a FB 'friend' living in China.  

TWELVE YEARS IN THE GRAVE is the memoir of Soleilmavis Liu who managed to conquer her oppressors and get out from under a decade of abuse via electronic mind control weaponry.  She was first attacked in December, 2001 by remote voice to skull and electromagnetic mind control technologies when she was studying for a Master`s Degree in Australia. At the time, she was unfamiliar with mind control technologies. Eventually, she came to learn of these technologies that are being secretly used or covered up by governments worldwide to control and harass the populace.  Linked here http://bit.ly/1bRzBw5  ...please share!

How-To Rescue a Conversation That's Gone Wrong

~ Our world is traversing in uncertain and troubling times friends. And one of the things I believe is causing much of our great divide, is poor communication. Period.

Given your advocacy work, I know you know, how essential, clear and genuine communication is, to achieving meaningful results-- at home, in business, in our communities and throughout the World.  And this is why I'd like to recommend, "How Conversation Works: Six Lessons for Better Communications."

As you grab for the next rung on the ladder to success, 'Conversations...' is a must add to your career portfolio.  This six lecture eCourse is available on DVD, instant download to your PC, or my favorite, the CD version-- which can be listened to while driving or working from home. 

Watch a free course preview here~

Like an eagle in the sky, you’ll be amazed by how much you can learn by stepping back from conversations and examining how they operate. You’ll notice things you never picked up on before—like what kind of speaker you are, the strategies you typically rely on (often without realizing it), and the subtleties of the strategies others may use when speaking with you. You’ll find yourself putting these lessons into practice to create more effective dialogues from the very first lecture.

I was just reviewing the course description for Part 6, 'How to Maintain Relations with Talk'  (covering cooperative and competitive speaking styles)... and I had a quick, laugh-out-loud flashback of my piano teacher Mrs. Thomas, grilling me to make 'sure' I'd practiced my piano scales over the weekend.  Her 'eyes' were really doing the talking-- not her words, and you can best believe that I certainly didn't fail to practice my piano scales.

Learn new ways to communicate  - watch a free course preview here

At first, the newfound awareness you’ll acquire from How Conversation Works may cause you to become self-conscious when you speak, but the act of “conversational noticing” will soon become second nature. Before long, you’ll realize you have the tools to make yourself clearly understood, put others at ease, rescue a conversation that’s gone wrong—and keep conversations from going off course in the first place.

Phil Manker INTERIORS

Today's business savvy woman recognizes a wise investment.  Thus I'm inviting you to join kindreds from 'round the world in a "lifelong learning experience," with a selection of video and audio courses led by the world’s top professors and experts.  'Conversations...' is one such course and is now on sale for a limited time. 

Please learn more and let's stay connected via my website here.  ~djg

Container Gardening Tips and Techniques

Most of us don't have the time, space, or energy to design and cultivate a large outdoor garden. So what should we do if we're craving some homegrown fruits, vegetables, or herbs, or looking to add a colorful splash of flowers to a back deck or front porch?

How to Grow Anything: Container Gardening Tips Techniques--

The answer is simple: container gardening. Growing your own plants in containers is the perfect way to liven up a living space without much of the hassle associated with traditional gardening. With container gardens, you can control and manage plants and flowers with ease, add bursts of color and interest almost anywhere you like, easily extend the planting season beyond your usual growing season, and create warm and friendly environments that match specific occasions and events.

DVD audio book course

Watch a video course PREVIEW here

Perhaps the best part is that you can still plant anything in a container that you would in an in-ground garden: perennials, annuals, grasses, vegetables, fruits, and even trees. All it takes is an understanding of the essentials of container gardening, as well as access to some of the same design tips, tricks, and techniques that trained gardeners and landscape artists use to create unforgettable natural displays.

And all of this you can find in the six lessons of How to Grow Anything: Container Gardening Tips and Techniques. Delivered by award-winning horticulturalist and master gardening educator Melinda Myers, this series gives you the essentials of container gardening and the expert know-how to grow practically anything you want in as small a space as you have available. In every lesson, you'll be immersed in real situations that reveal ideas and solutions that will work for your container garden throughout the year.

Enjoyable, economical, inspiring, and a pleasure to watch, Container Gardening Tips and Techniques is perfect for gardeners at all levels of experience. Seasoned pros will find creative ideas for designing and planting container arrangements, and novices will get everything they need to know about this form of gardening.

VIDEO: Watch a course preview here

Throughout these six lessons, you will learn--

* the fundamentals of successful container gardening, including the advantages of different containers (such as concrete, plastic, and glass) and how to make each of them work to your advantage;

* the specific soil, light, and water requirements for some of the most common plants and flowers planted in containers; 

* solutions to common problems and pitfalls related to container gardening, including the potting mix, pests, and shaded areas; and

* how to create your own unique container gardens to fit a range of settings and space constraints, including patios, balconies, decks, and large lots. You'll also see how container gardens can be used to create natural privacy barriers, liven up empty corners of interior spaces, and complement the theme of a party or special occasion. 

THANK YOU for your time.  Please visit our website

~ Our world is traversing in uncertain and troubling times friends.  And one of the things I believe is causing much of our great divide is poor communication.  Period.  Given your advocacy work  I know you know-- how essential clear and genuine communication must be to foster meaningful results.  And this is why I'm recommending to professionals like yourself, info about "How Conversation Works: 6 Lessons for Better Communication."  I've got a link below where you may watch a video preview.  If you're in a time crunch right now, bookmark the referring page and come back at a later time.

~ God and religion can be two hot topics when people with varying viewpoints get in the same room.  Let that difference be a drastic one and a mini-war may ensue, right?  Last night, I added content from luminaries Caroline Myss and Marianne Williamson, who's work in the world suggests very unique and profound reasonings behind why we've become the way we have and more importantly, solutions to bridge this great divide.

Click here for Hay House Apps

 

 

And so, I wanted to call your attention to these two new titles by Caroline and Marianne respectively:

Entering the Castel: Exploring Your Mystical Experience of God; and

The Age of Miracles: Embracing the new Midlife.

Simply said, both 'teachings' will reaffirm that you're on the right track and will also hope to serve and nurture the part on the inside of you that can connect and dialogue with the unseen.  

[VIEW DETAILS HERE... AND THANKS]

I'll tell ya' friends, I don't know how our world leaders get a good night's sleep anymore!  I pray for their strength and endurance daily.  I don't know where you are with your walk with God or even if you have a God but I do feel that because you advocate for others, your Spirit may be unsettled at this time due to the discourse in our World.  I know the discourse is unsettling for me.

I didn't intend on this 'post' becoming so long winded.  We've gone from looking good + speaking good + and doing good and I'd be remiss if I kept this 'in-house.'  We truly are in a time of miracles and mystical experiences.

 

Hope you're nearing your mountain top dear one.  Please feel free to forward this or share with your social networks, should you desire.  ~djg

Silver Linings and Dark Clouds?

UPDATE | 1:23pmEST, Thur., 10/17/13--
Please see addendum below and shown in
'THIS' colour for clarification.  Thank you.

They say there's a silver lining in every dark cloud, right?

Well I kid you not-- and, not that it was a dark cloud on an equally dark and stormy night-- but a couple of days ago, I received word from my email list management company, that 22 people in my network indicated in one way or the other that the email I'd recently sent  [to them] was reported as spam.  Yeah, I know-- long sentence. 

Turns out by industry standards, my magic number of 22 spam complaints, far exceeded the "acceptable threshold number" of ONE per 1,000 emails-- esp., given the fact that my list size was less than 650.  Thus, my account went into a "review" and ultimately, this was good (my silver lining). But then again, I've been dealing with a hacker for several years (long story) and in the back of my mind, I just would not be surprised if somehow this very looming and unresolved circumstance was the culprit. 

But back to that silver lining. 

Knowledge is power and since you and I have been connected on several social sites (LinkedIn, Facebook, Tumblr, Twitter, Google+) for so long,  the reason I'm writing you today is two fold.  Caveats in user terms 'n agreements we should read but don't and because I need your help.  First up-- 

#1- Caveats in those "Terms and Agreements" -  because many of you are business owners  or engage in dialogue with others having great impact on your day-to-day relationship governance, I thought I'd share the following insight gleaned from subsequent account review. 

-- The email addresses of the 'connections' we develop in LinkedIn and Facebook personal pages or business pages (e.g., social networking platforms) are 'owned' by the provider and CAN NOT BE USED for soliciting and/or converting into a sale transaction unless one thing happens. 

-- The 'export' feature can not be used to shepherd a 'list' from which you solicit. 

-- Even if an alternate email is provided in a user's public profile under 'About Me/Contact,' that info still is owned by the social site.

The above information was told to me by the account reviewer at the company who manages my list and ensures compliance and legal standards are met by all parties.

HOWEVER, this 'spam issue' seems to me to be an easy fix and now-- here's the one thing that must happen so that you may freely use an email address for business development OUTSIDE of a specific social network site (from an individual you've met and connected with on said site). 

You must provide an email sign-up form so that the legal definition of an OPT-IN agreement is satisfied.  Once that person becomes a 'subscriber' a new relationship has begun and the fact that you 'met' on a social site has no bearing on the newly created relationship. (P.S. If you're an attorney, check me on this and weigh in with a reply-to-all if you desire.)

As such, this is why you see so many 'fan pages' with JOIN MY MAIL LIST links, which serves to ensure a permission based agreement between the two of you.  Somewhere buried deep in the terms and agreements you'll find this condition-- but who really reads beyond the 16,000th word in the terms and usage agreements for a social site anyway?  I wanted you to know this caveat and hope this insight has been of help.  Additionally, you have my permission to forward this to a colleague who might care to know.  Finally--

 #2- I'm in  "jail"  friends (name of email mgm't company withheld).  My crime?  I used the 'export' key to pull together and merge my email recipients list.  My punishment?  Go through my spreadsheet of contacts line by line (over 1,000 people!!!) and separate the good from the bad and the ugly emails (smile).  I'm trying to keep a light heart here. 

Do you know how longgg that will take? 

ADDENDUM as highlighted at the top of this post.  I have ceased the relationship with said email list management service; therefore, it is not necessary for your support in the email re-capture help.   Please skip and continue reading below the ( ========).

I'm therefore asking for your help.  Will you sign up for my periodic email updates using the form below, thereby making our 'connection' official?  Then perhaps I can get out of  "jail."  Orange is not my color and especially in the form of a jumpsuit?

The Science of Natural Healing

In the 21st century, the Western paradigm for healthcare is changing. Notwithstanding the great strengths of medical science, many people now have concerns about key features of our health-care system—among them, the widespread use of medical drugs and a relative de-emphasis on preventive care. But traditional Western medicine is not the only healing system rooted in science. Medical systems from other cultures, including those of India and China, have used natural treatments for centuries, some of which are now directly influencing our own health-care professions. These approaches not only emphasize healing with natural substances, but devote considerable attention to illness prevention and healthful living by considering the whole person rather than just targeting a condition.

Watch a course preview here: The Science of Natural Healing

 

Can we integrate the best of Western medicine with the best natural treatments to enjoy prime health and longevity?

In The Science of Natural Healing, board-certified cardiologist Dr. Mimi Guarneri, founder of the Scripps Center for Integrative Medicine, leads you in a compelling and practical exploration of holistic approaches to healthcare, introducing you to the many nature-based treatments and methods that are both clinically proven and readily available to you. In 24 incisive and revealing lectures, you look deeply into the science behind natural treatments and preventive healthcare, including how medical conditions ranging from high blood pressure to heart disease and diabetes can be treated naturally with remarkable effectiveness.

Watch a course preview and order here The Science of Natural Healing ...and thanks!
