Not only is the new APP for TLC brilliant, but the video is devilishly funny. I predict this will be a wildly successful campaign and go a long way to getting women to actually do the self examinations regularly.
Please share and comment.
I have said many times before . . .the best way to get conversations going about really difficult subjects is to deliver with a dose of humor. Unfortunately this is pretty rare but hats off to the folks at www.rethinkbreastcancer.com for this piece. Not only is the new APP for TLC brilliant, but the video is devilishly funny. I predict this will be a wildly successful campaign and go a long way to getting women to actually do the self examinations regularly. Please share and comment.

Life is like walking in the sand. Have you shared your wishes on the Citizen Wish List for positive changes you'd like to see?
Please do so now and share this project. The conversation starts HERE: http://tinyurl.com/CitizenWishList All day long we are making choices - should I stay or should I go, with whom, what to wear, what to eat, when how much, what kind, literally thousands of decisions a day. Would it be grand if we got my conscious about creating a positive culture. Do what you love, what gives you joy and the rest will fall into place. Life is short. Why spend so much time on the things that don't serve us, are useful or are counterproductive??? Here's a lovely little video for your viewing pleasure to help you remember to look on the bright side. It's a choice. Being the change you want to see. Lovely citizen.
quoted from El Pais news article & shared from the Cultural Compass Good News Revue "But even if they had told me that winning would have earned me a place in the Spanish team for the European championships, I wouldn't have done it either. Of course it would be another thing if there was a world or European medal at stake. Then, I think that, yes, I would have exploited it to win... But I also think that I have earned more of a name having done what I did than if I had won. And that is very important, because today, with the way things are in all circles, in soccer, in society, in politics, where it seems anything goes, a gesture of honesty goes down well." Honesty of the Long Distance Runner If we really believe education is fundamental to forward progress, make your voices be heard and help shift the focus. Let's put our money where our mouth is . . .one small step. Do you agree?
The absolute BEST wishes yet regarding : MONEY .

Our children, grandchildren, and great grandchildren will breathe easier.Warren Buffett, in a recent interview with CNBC, offers one of the best quotes about the debt ceiling: "I could end the deficit in 5 minutes," he told CNBC. "You just pass a law that says that anytime there is a deficit of more than 3% of GDP, all sitting members of Congress are ineligible for re-election. The 26th amendment (granting the right to vote for 18 year-olds) took only 3 months & 8 days to be ratified! Why? Simple! The people demanded it. That was in 1971 - before computers, e-mail, cell phones, etc. Of the 27 amendments to the Constitution, seven (7) took one (1) year or less to become the law of the land - all because of public pressure. Warren Buffet is asking each addressee to forward this email to a minimum of twenty people on their address list; in turn ask each of those to do likewise. In three days, most people in The United States of America will have the message. This is one idea that really should be passed around. Congressional Reform Act of 2012 1. No Tenure / No Pension. A Congressman/woman collects a salary while in office and receives no pay when they're out of office. 2. Congress (past, present & future) participates in Social Security. All funds in the Congressional retirement fund move to the Social Security system immediately. All future funds flow into the Social Security system, and Congress participates with the American people. It may not be used for any other purpose. 3. Congress can purchase their own retirement plan, just as all Americans do. 4. Congress will no longer vote themselves a pay raise. Congressional pay will rise by the lower of CPI or 3%. 5. Congress loses their current health care system and participates in the same health care system as the American people. 6. Congress must equally abide by all laws they impose on the American people. 7. All contracts with past and present Congressmen/women are void effective 12/1/12. The American people did not make this contract with Congressmen/women. Congress made all these contracts for themselves. Serving in Congress is an honor, not a career. The Founding Fathers envisioned citizen legislators, so ours should serve their term(s), then go home and back to work. If each person contacts a minimum of twenty people then it will only take three days for most people (in the U.S. ) to receive the message. Don't you think it's time? Beautiful example of 'what's working' in the FAMILY & COMMUNICATIONS
Like, share, comment, please.Greg Hoffman is a kid who just got an iPhone from his parents. His mom, Janell Hoffman, wrote these [slightly edited] rules for its use: 1. It is my phone. I bought it. I pay for it. I am loaning it to you. Aren't I the greatest? 2. I will always know the password. 3. If it rings, answer it. It is a phone. Say hello, use your manners. Do not ever ignore a phone call if the screen reads "Mom" or "Dad". Not ever. 4. Hand the phone to one of your parents promptly at 7:30pm every school night & every weekend night at 9:00pm. It will be shut off for the night and turned on again at 7:30am. If you would not make a call to someone's land line, wherein their parents may answer first, then do not call or text. Listen to those instincts and respect other families like we would like to be respected. 5. It does not go to school with you. Have a conversation with the people you text in person. It's a life skill. 6. If it falls into the toilet, smashes on the ground, or vanishes into thin air, you are responsible for the replacement costs or repairs. 7. Do not use this technology to lie, fool, or deceive another human being. Do not involve yourself in conversations that are hurtful to others. Be a good friend first or stay the hell out of the crossfire. 8-9. Do not text, email, or say anything through this device you would not say in person. 10. No porn. 11. Turn it off, silence it, put it away in public. Especially in a restaurant, at the movies, or while speaking with another human being. You are not a rude person; do not allow the iPhone to change that. 12. Do not send or receive pictures of your private parts or anyone else's private parts. Don't laugh. Someday you will be tempted to do this despite your high intelligence. It is risky and could ruin your teenage/college/adult life. It is always a bad idea. Cyberspace is vast and more powerful than you. And it is hard to make anything of this magnitude disappear -- including a bad reputation. 13. Don't take a zillion pictures and videos. There is no need to document everything. Live your experiences. They will be stored in your memory for eternity. 14. Leave your phone home sometimes and feel safe and secure in that decision. It is not alive or an extension of you. Learn to live without it. Be bigger and more powerful than FOMO -- fear of missing out. 15. Download music that is new or classic or different than the millions of your peers that listen to the same exact stuff. Your generation has access to music like never before in history. Take advantage of that gift. Expand your horizons. 16. Play a game with words or puzzles or brain teasers every now and then. 17. Keep your eyes up. See the world happening around you. Stare out a window. Listen to the birds. Take a walk. Talk to a stranger. Wonder without googling. 18. You will mess up. I will take away your phone. We will sit down and talk about it. We will start over again. You & I, we are always learning. I am on your team. We are in this together. Some common sense about gun control regulations. The real conversation must be about regulation and sensible regulation does not mean a ban on ownership. . . Your thoughts?
re. the ENVIRONMENT
It takes a village of engaged, caring individuals to effect positive change. Here's another great example. . . . http://opinionator.blogs.nytimes.com/2012/02/09/harnessing-local-pride-for-global-conservation/?ref=opinion Poland has outlawed GMO foods. France has successfully prosecuted Monsanto for its dirty business practices. Is America next in line to finally begin to stand up to hidden dangers in the food supply? Audience participation and transparency make these changes possible. Engage for change.
