The Uses for US $1
The children came in groups of tens, twenties, thirties, forties and fifties. They came on foot on the hard packed potholed dirt roads, the older ones, ages eight or nine, holding the hands of the younger ones. Many of them walked barefoot the several kilometers from the eleven villages around Nandi Hills, Bangalore rural district, India to the HH Sai Maa Health Centre, as they owned no shoes. There are no buses nor could they have afforded to take one. They came with their teachers, smiling and eager to get some needed medicine and vitamins and to learn about health and hygiene.  Read More...

Fearless Women: How to Succeed Using What You've Got
Last year I received a call from Arielle Ford, the publicist to some of the most renown names in the book business: Deepak Chopra, Mark Victor Hansen, Jack Canfield, Wayne Dyer, Marianne Williamson, Don Miguel Ruiz and many more.

Arielle explained to me that by the time a Fearless Woman reaches her forties, her effortless good looks of youth have matured into the warmth and beauty of a life well lived. Her infectious vitality, sense of purpose and desire to make the world a better place, warms and positively changes everyone she connects with.  Read More...
