Cellphones, technology, upgrades in technology are under fire. Cancer radiation from cellphones, technology questions for health causes and how long will it be before we know for sure? Ten years, fifty years? I remember when asbestos was in schools, ships, hospitals, and last year a brother-in-law who lied to serve was treated for cancer caused by asbestos. Yet at 17 years of age going into the navy, serving his country during WWII and now at approximately 50 years later and almost 50 years of smoking he had cancer caused by asbestos. So the scare of brain tumors may not be known for a long time. Certainly with all the research and ideas around technology of any type including knowing re-cycling indicates 7 deadly toxins in computers...Americans have been inventing things for years...let's come out of this recession and prove ourselves again...we can do this together...I truly believe in America and our country. I also think we need to start fresh with Congress, all of the seats R's & D's and allow Obama to make some mistakes, yes, but allow the man to be President without parasitic wrangling.

Use not abuse

Air is a precious commodity until it becomes so conaminated we can't breath. Walking each morning in the neighborbood I frequently see car's with their motors running. In the winter it is for the heater to warm, summer, just the reverse. Why bother going to the lake if all you want is to sit in the car? Not only is the process a huge waste of gas but those drivers are also polluting the air all around where people are walking, running, children playing...need I say more? Being in the south it amazes me I live in a state with so little care about our environment...this is a beautiful area of trees, plants, flowers, etc...yes and critters too. The wealth is mind boggling and the chemicals on the yawns are just as mind boggling. Southerner's must have pretty lawns. I wonder how pretty it will all be when we see the last of the honey bees due to wireless and pesticides.

Technology of all sorts just may be our greatest enemy after all.

Green tennis shoes of any kind

Because my husband is a personal trainer we spend time shopping and usually in store I would not frequent...because I do use athletic wear but the demand is not to replace items all that often. January the need for new work shoes came up so off we go...shopping for athletic footwear. In a local store while talking with the salesperson I discovered there are Green athletic Shoes and they disintegrate within ten years, Yeah!! Because I do not mention company names (never know who may pick you for sponsorship) the brand I can not mention however I am sure your local athletic shoe stores are aware.

Entertaining with everyone contributing

Entertaining three couples last night and what a wonderful wholesome evening...one brought appetitizer, one brought wine and bread, one brought a fantastic chocolate cake and I made lasagna and salad...yummy stuff. The men talked, the women talked in separate rooms and we all laughed, shared, and genuinely enjoyed one another and getting to know one another...we as females are soulmates in values and the men enjoyed one another for the first time together. Fun, beautiful people it's as simple as that and life does not get any better then people, food and laughter as well as sharing especially when everything was perfect...I did splash a little salad dressing on my top but what's a fun evening without a spill or two?

More bee information

My son is a physical therapist and frequently has older clients that go into hospice care...they are literally at the end of their days. One elderly woman had been a chemical engineer. My son asked if she had any regrets...her response was "the bees".

Almost ready to publish

Wow, the past eight months have been busy! CEO Speaks will soon be in the final editing phase and I can get busy with other projects. What a trip this has been, 12 cities in 6 weeks, 44 CEO's later, 2 or 3 will be omitted...didn't have the pictures or bio's to me and I can not change the format, not at this state, the eastern half of the country covered with one CEO from Australia. Other cities were Miami (2), Jacksonville, Sarasota, St. Pete, Atlanta, Nashville, Dallas (2), St. Louis, Ft. Wayne, Ft. Lauderdale, Dayton (4), Birmingham (18), New York, Boston, Baltimore...I think that's it. The art work is done, format done, publisher selected, the interviews were completed the first week of December...took one week off for holidays and visit family another week for family in Florida, but the remaining June 2009 to March 2010 worked sixty or seventy hours a week on one project, I am tired! The CEO's were awesome, trips without a hitch, transcription is NOT my gift, but we are almost complete. All for the grace God. This book will be on the website within the next 30 days! Then the CD not long after. What a project! CEO Speaks will be a book to lend credence to the American public and hope to those that fail to see business ethics in the best light...
