PenguinsAs caretakers of the earth, we’re responsible for our family and so much more. The choices we make and the things we do, can have far reaching effects. Chemicals we use in our homes. Pesticides that are sprayed on our fruits and vegetables. Hormones and antibiotics that are in our meats and dairy products. They all go somewhere. And they end up in the soil, the rivers, lakes and oceans. We can make a difference by keeping the chemicals out of our environment.

Here’s a site we don’t often get to see. Penguins being penguins.
Keep them safe. Use non-toxic cleaning products.

Frozen Planet airs tonight at 8:00 pm on Discovery Channel.

Searching for WHY

I’ve been in direct sales for years. I think of it as a personal enrichment program with commissions. One of the things I keep working on is my WHY. Why am I doing this business? The easy answer is “for the money.” But, that’s just the obvious. There’s so much more to it when I dig deeper. I think money was my why when I started. Then, it was the things money can buy.

But now, I’m thinking past the material things. I’m searching for a new why. I’ve watched my customers and distributors improve their health. Maybe my new why has something to do with wellness. I’ve also thought about starting a foundation or partnering with a charity. I’m looking for my purpose in life and a way to make a difference in the world.

As I was researching this online, I ran across a video by Simon Sinek called “How Great leaders Inspire Action.” It explains WHY we all need a passionate why and how businesses like Apple use it.


Do you have a strong WHY?
What are you doing to leave your mark in the world?
Do you have any suggestions?
If you’re willing to share, post your why in a comment.

Blog Theme Update

Oct 22nd, 2011

For the last several months, every time I login to my blog dashboard, I see the updates that are patiently waiting for me. I’ve been able to ignore them for a while, but I knew that eventually I would have to do it. Computers are a delicate balance of hardware, software and operator know-how. If you upgrade one, you invariably have to upgrade the other two. I’ve been advised by GoDaddy.com tech support, my hosting company, that updates are important and shouldn’t be put off.

So … Tonight is the night. I’m updating my blog theme, PrimePress.

It always sounds easy to do … Just click the update button and the magic takes place beyond where I can see. I just wait for the “Update successful” message. But, it’s never quite that easy. The update message indicated that it could take up to 2 hours to complete, but it took less than 20 seconds. “Update successful.” I breathed a sigh of relief. But, when I opened my blog, I gasped! It looked like I lost the theme. The posts were there, but all the pages were listed as live links across the top, above the header. The background was gone, the header reverted to the default rotating images, all my sidebar widgets were missing and the default calendar, meta info and categories were there instead. 

So, I spent the next several hours working to put this blog back the way it was. When I started this blog two years ago, I customized the theme. I knew I made some changes to the template files, but didn’t document them. After a few changes, I learned that most of the customized code belongs in the custom.css file. That way, it’s all in one place.

Luckily, I took time to prepare before I updated.

  • I backed up my blog thru my hosting account.
  • I downloaded the backup to my computer.
  • In addition, I saved an extra copy of the theme’s template files.
  • I opened my blog as it was before the update, so I had a reference point.
    NOTE: Next time I’ll save screenshots.

The results …
Health Talk Today Blog looks pretty much as it did before the update. The white area above the header used to be the same dark green color as the border background. If I can find it, I’ll change it, but it looks OK the way it is. I just changed the title “HEALTH TALK TODAY from a baby boomer perspective” from white to dark green. And I changed a few of the sidebar widgets.

I need your help …
I’ve done the best I could to make sure everything is working. Please let me know if you find broken links, invisible ink (white on white or green on green) or any other errors. I appreciate your help. Just leave a comment and I’ll fix what I can. Thanks.

In this hectic, stressful world, I found a feel good video that always makes me smile. As of today, 2,280,798 people have watched it. Well, that’s not exactly true. I’ve watched it several times! I hope you enjoy it, too.

What’s your favorite inspirational or fun video?
