The Gulf of Mexico

I was saddened by the 60 minutes program a week ago Sunday when the first program was an interview with someone on the rig that had the courage to jump into the ocean. Human error, human power and human politics was behind the spill. Not sure we can describe this one as a spill more like a train wreck. When explosions followed by fire, followed by disaster, followed by loss of 11 people and a major problem for the coast line of the Gulf. The worst environmental disaster to happen will impact animal and sea life for years to come. How can anyone, any company, any process justify the lack of care the BP worker had when capping the well. Saving a corporation money was probably at risk if capping had been done the way their corporate partner had wanted to cap the well. Saving on the front end is going to cost BP more then anyone can project. It would not surprise me if they go out of business. Their reputation will suffer for a long time. It took courage not only for that young man to tell the story but to pray and jump into the ocean from that height was unbelievable. He just wanted to see his wife and baby girl. God Bless him for telling the truth. We must be responsible for our actions when it comes to the environment.

Putting the Dream Team together

This is not rocket science. We need to all reach out to one another and help each other. The book mentioned below is the reason I feel compelled to blog in ways which may help others. Today a guest speaker at a professional organization was talking about the link between health and osteoporosis, yes it all goes together. Eat right, eat fruits and vegetables, exercise each day, work hard and focus on your diet for a good life. Being able to be around for our children, our grandchildren, our families, our friends is important. Reaching out to other businesses makes everyone stronger. Focus on helping others and the return will be 10 fold. The same goes with business. Reaching out to help others is critical to success. Again, it is not rocket science.

The book will be release early June and soon will have a CD on my website as well as other tools.

Green information for male babies

Did anyone see Sunday May 23 60 Minutes? The question is what is taking masculinity away from male babies? This is serious stuff or maybe it is God's way of slowing down population, who knows? Anyway it again points to plastics. Yet another finding
from man's inventions. I have two sons and one grandson and again they are healthy
and again, Thank God. Children are our greatest gifts from God and we forever love them regardless of age. Anyway that harms a child is not good.

CEO Speaks, Sage Advice During Turbulent Times

I am so pumped! The publisher should be sending a pdf file tomorrow and the book could be done next week. Publishing is not for the faint hearted! This has been a trip; literally a trip across primarily the midwest, southeast and mostly east of the Mississippi River. For a typical type A a year is a long time but the fruition of this project is in sight! Even last week with the press release on my website it just feels wonderful.

The GREEN part is no publishing with paper and ink is not GREEN but when my CD is finished we can say we're GREEN. E-book & CD will be GREEN!

Oh the wonderful feeling of accomplishment.

Amazing Accomplishments

It so amazes me how people say writing is such an accomplishment. Having paid a professional editor for making sure the book is "clean" from errors, typos, etc., I'm not sure what writing/publishing are really. It is a relief to know another of lifes projects is moving forward to the finish line...ok so on to the next what? Book, no too soon. Consulting, speaking, selling books definitely. But I must say I love this book. Everything about it I love.

Publishing, consulting, community

Printing is not a Green industry yet this will be the third book I've self published and have more in the hopper. All this plus helping a friend get elected, hopefully, another friend gather wealthy locals for his non-profit, another friend market to the right market for another non-profit, plus take classes, network, make sales calls. Good grief no wander I'm tired at the end of the day. Opps, plus walk almost every day and up hills in the neighborhood. Did I mention cook seven days a week, clean the house, buy the groceries and run other errands. I'm exhausted just thinking about it all. Life is fun, full and full of great people too including family, friends, aquaintances. Life is good, I hope you enjoy your ride and be GREEN, at least as GREEN as possible.

Plant yellow and blue flowers this spring. Bring the honey bees food.
