Angel Promises focuses on the youngest firefighter lost in the now historic "Thirtymile fire," of 7-10-01, Karen Lee FitzPatrick, 18, with glimpses of her life, heart and writings! At the ten year commemoration on 7-10-11, we remember the four lost there, and the announcement from the platform by the U.S. Forest Service, detailing the "New Safety Structure" for all firefighters.
The officials who described the new safety points and accountability, said "It's the legacy of these four."
There was something about those particular four firefighters, lost there that day, that ripped the hearts of a nation, the fire agencies, and eventually after a decade, brought about this breakthrough change that was not able to be accomplished by any other effort over the past 50 years. If this true life fire drama ever had a happy ending...this is it!"

From the Page to the Stage
|
|
"From the Page to the Stage" is a two-day intensive public speaking workshop. It's a highly focused retreat of high-impact coaching that will transform you into a high impact speaker.
If you are an author who wants to be as influential and persuasive on the stage as you are on the page, or a public speaker who wants people raving about your engagements, then you need to be in this course!
There are 3 sessions available this fall in Ottawa, Toronto and Las Vegas but there are only 20 seats available in each session.
I have had the pleasure of working with Steve and I can tell you he will show you simple, easy ways to keep your audience on the edge of their seat for hours with small adjustments to your speech! Steve truly is the best of the best speaker coaches.
Because there are only 20 seats in each, these sessions will sell out as fast as Steve's first program did, so ACT NOW!
All the details are HERE!

Tip of the Week
Alzheimers Prevention - Coconut Oil? | |
"The aim of the wise is not to secure pleasure, but to avoid pain." -Aristotle
Most of us Baby Boomers are determined to do everything possible to keep our brains healthy and functioning properly for as long as we live. My own mom suffered from Alzheimer's as did a couple of her sisters so, I have witnessed first hand how devastating this disease can be.
There currently is no cure for Alzheimer's, and more and more people seem to be diagnosed with it every year.
Dr. Mary Newport published a study back in 2008 on the use of medium chain triglycerides (MTC's) or ketone bodies in helping her husband regain some mental functioning after he was diagnosed with Alzheimer's. Here is a link to her study and Dr. Mercola's comments on it. MTC's are plentiful in good old unrefined Coconut Oil.
The Philippines is the largest producer of coconut oil and the natives use it every day in cooking, on their toast, in most food staples, etc. The Philippines also has one of the lowest incidences of heart disease in the world. They are definitely doing something right!
It's too late for my mom, since she passed away in 2007, but if I'd know this back then, I would have had her try some. I have begun using it in cooking, purchasing coconut ice cream, etc.
As Dr. Newport says - what have we got to lose?

The Vacuum Cleaner Salesman
The new salesman had just completed his training and was anxious to put his skills to work. He took his Hoover vacuum cleaner to the front door of a house and rang the bell. A rather unpleasant woman answered. Before she could say anything he threw a pile of cow patties in the door behind her onto the rug.
"Lady," he said, "If this vacuum cleaner doesn't clean up all those cow patties, I'll eat them myself."
"I'll get you a spoon," scowled the lady. "Our electricity hasn't been turned on, yet."
