Words of Wisdom from Jane of the Jungle

Jane Goodall is a heroine if there ever was one; a woman whom went out on a limb (pun intended) to hang (another intended one) with the chimps way back when the glass ceiling really was low.  She exposed us to a life led fearlessly.

I was very fortunate to hear her speak long ago as a child and remember being in awe of her calm fortitude even though I was so young the content didn't really resonate.

A quote from a recent interview Rachel Sarnoff of Mommy Greenest and EcoStiletto.com fame conducted w/ Ms. Goodall:

"I met so many young people as I traveled who seemed not to have hope for the future. They were depressed, angry and apathetic. “Roots & Shoots” [encourages participants to understand that ] every single one of us makes a difference every single day. We can’t live through a day without making an impact. And we all have a choice."

What do you chose to make an impact about today?

Generate Your Own Energy

I listened to a marvelously inspiring, actually energizing is a better word, webcast last night from the inimitable Marie Forleo of Rich, Happy and Hot (success coaching).  She interviewed Brendon Burchard, a prolific author, about his new book  The Charge: Activating the 10 Human Drives That Make You Feel Alive.   

The interview is only 37 min. and is FULL of helpful "get your act energized" niblets.  WATCH it:-)
  
The best thing I learned from it was this:  "The power plant doesn't HAVE energy - it GENERATES energy.  You don't HAVE energy, you GENERATE it.  You don't HAVE happiness, you GENERATE happiness in your life."  Brendon Burchard.

LOVE that.  I'm seeing life differently today, and that's a very good thing.

What you Eat Tells All - ACK!

I just read the most inspiring article on Kris Carr's marvelous blog.  It's called Three Ways to Find Peace With Food - READ IT!!!   By: Jackie Vecchio  a holistic health coach and founder of Peace in Every Bite, where she helps women end the food insanity and make peace with themselves

Wow.  Two exerpts that hit home:

"Geneen Roth wrote in her book, “Women, Food, and God:” “No matter how developed you are in any other area of your life, no matter what you say you believe, no matter how sophisticated or enlightened you think you are, how you eat tells all.” "

"Often, what we are craving is the pleasure of eating, not the food itself."

I'll have a double helping of more pleasure please.
