About a year ago I got the words ”Be Love” tattooed on my arm. The idea that I could be ”Love Itself”as in ‘not wait for it to show up’ was a revolutionary concept I first discovered at Café Gratitude in San Francisco.(Yes, I know it's been the basis of many religions, but I'm a late bloomer. Everyone's awakening looks different.)

This month, Café Gratitude releases it’s highly anticipated book, Kindred Spirit: Fulfilling Love's Promise (http://www.cafegratitudestore.com/kindredspirit.html). This take-out version of the café’s popular relationship workshop is all about ‘Being Love’ and what that entails. Whether or not you share your life with a partner, every conversation and interaction in life is within Relationship. The book is brilliant and like the food at Cafe Gratitude, easy to digest.

9. Switch to plant-based ingredients

Whether it’s your shampoo, bar of soap of even bathroom cleaning products, this will be healthier for you and your family and you’ll be reducing your impact on the planet as well. The many chemicals found in our everyday household products have a major effect on our water and our health, so switching to a plant-based, biodegradable product will really help.

8. DIY!

If you’re crafty, try creating our own soap, shampoo, etc. This way you will know exactly what’s in your product and it usually is more cost effective. There are many great resources online, such as YouTube, and soap making...

The party that controls the House of Representatives or the Senate determines the policies and direction of America. When you vote for a candidate on November 2, you are also voting for an entire party. Check the positions you agree with and see which party most reflects your values and then vote accordingly. Each of the 10 Issues reflect actual statements, positions and votes held and taken by the vast majority of Congressmen and Senators in each party over the past two years in The United States Congress.

Which America Do You Want?

I. JOBS

Republicans believe that cutting taxes for large and small businesses and further reducing investment taxes on capital gains and dividends will spur job growth

Democrats want to try to create jobs by limiting the outsourcing of jobs to other countries and by creating and investing in new industries such as clean tech/alternative energy like solar, wind, geothermal, tidal, algae fuels.
