Goal For The Green

The Heart and Soul Award is given to those who have touched and/or inspired you through their blog. I was amazed and humbled to find that Sadie over at Sadie’s Skinny passed this award over to me.  She writes a great health blog about her weight  loss journey, health tips and advice on dieting and exercise.  If I could pass this back to her, I surely would!

The rules for the award are to pass this on to three blogs that have touched or inspired me, so here are my three:

Chris over at Living Well Naturally does a wonderful job on helping us know how to live and eat well.  She gives great tips and advice on avoiding toxic chemicals, eating whole foods, supplements, and how to care for our home and garden.  She even has a wonderful line of Mineral make-up that is affordable.  If you haven’t checked out this site, please do.  You can tell she loves what she is doing!

Chatbug Karen, is another amazingly talented woman.  She calls herself a little fish in the big pond.  I’m sure glad I caught her in that pond!  She has an Etsy store, where she has handmade totebags and aprons and just beautiful things.  She also shares her travels, and just fun things on all of her blogs…she has several!

Cady, at NotSoNewlywed, has stolen my devotion and attention.  I have never seen a more dedicated and determined couple as she and her husband Joe are, to become parents.  They are sharing their journey with us, and it is very exciting.  By the end of this month, they will know if they positively are going to be parents.  My heart and prayers are with them.  Please stop in and visit.

I hope all of you will visit these blogs, and I hope that you’re as inspired by them as I am!

If the three recipients of this award would like to pass it along, please visit the Heart and Soul Award website and list the 3 blog addresses that you are nominating. Then download the picture of the award and write a post about it, linking to me, and your 3 nominees, and why they have touched or inspired you.

Back on January 26, 2009, I posted about Chad Maglaque’s plug-in windpower device. He calls it the Jellyfish. It is his entry to Google’s Project 10 to 100th. The project is a call for ideas, with the potential to change the world, by helping as many people as possible.

Originally, today you were suppose to be able to vote for your favorite entry to the contest.  However, due to overwhelming response they are requiring more time to get through all the entries and narrow it down to the top candidates.  Be sure to sign-up for an update here.

In a prior post entitled, Safety and Cell Phones: What Pregnant Women Should Know, I shared some important information that every one should know.

There is no disputing the impact of technology on our everyday lives.  Almost everyone these days is connected to some type of electronic device.  If they are not, they are exposed to some form of technological convenience on a daily basis.  Anything from your microwave, cell phone and computers, use radio frequency waves, which is a form of electromagnetic radiation.

These waves are the same as those your microwave generates to heat food but at a much lower amount. High amounts of these waves can disrupt body tissues—that’s one reason you wear protective shielding when you get an X-ray. The stronger form of this radiation, such as that used for X-rays, can be harmful to the body, damaging cells and DNA.  It is called ionized radiation. Microwave ovens, cell phones, and other wireless devices also use electromagnetic waves to function, but because the radiation they produce is not thought to damage body tissue, it’s known as non-ionizing. Still, the body absorbs non-ionizing radiation generated from your phone, and these other devices.

Some people are more sensitive to the electromagnetic field and radio frequency waves (RF) than others.  However, here are some signs and symptoms you should be aware of: Constant headaches or pressure in the head, drowsiness, sleep problems, inability to think clearly, rapid heartbeat, high blood pressure, shortness of breath, forgetfulness, burning skin, inner burning, leg weakness, pain in the limbs…and the list goes on. These are just some of the reasons people fight having a cell tower nearby where they live.  The same reasoning holds true, living near a power station or exposure to power poles and above ground wiring.

The next big push in our technological advances, is on June 12, 2009, when we all need to have access to digital TV.  Here is the most recent information you should know about the potential health effects that this may cause. Please take the extra few minutes to read this very important article.

Since my prior post, I have become a consultant for Biopro Technologies.  In my opinion, the very least you should do to protect yourself from the harmful effects of radio frequency waves, is to get the chips,  to break the transmission of the waves into your body.

If you are in need of work, or wanting to make a career change be sure to look at the Biopro Opportunity.  Keep in mind that there are three areas that being a consultant can impact.  The “green” movement is growing and certainly not going anywhere.  Technology is growing and ever changing.  People are and have been paying closer attention to alternative health options in the last five years.  These are just three of the areas that you could impact and influence immediatley.  But, at the very least, protect yourself and your family.

For more information on how you can protect yourself and your children, feel free to contact my friend Katherine, for any questions you may have.  Just tell her I sent you.

It is my hope that you take the information presented here seriously.  After all it is your health and your body, but keep in mind there is  plenty of information we are not meant to know.
