This Issue's Article The Water We Drink
by Diana Garber"Don't drink the water," was a suggestion someone made before our trip to Mexico. I'm happy to report that hotels took several measures to ensure the water we consumed was clean and safe. Being surrounded by water, it was natural to reflect on its beauty and importance. Our bodies are mostly water. Plants and animals depend on it. What would life be like in its absence, or
would life exist at all? If you haven't thought about it much, it is time to do so. Unfortunately, many don't think about issues until they affect our pocket-book (finances). Well that time is
here! It is said that water is the next oil and will become as costly. Goodness, I remember when they began selling bottled water and wondered who would ever pay for it. Now, we in the
U.S. throw away nearly 70 million water-bottle containers a day. Visit this website and watch the counter tally up
www.container-recycling.org/mediafold/newsarticles/plastic/2006/5-WMW-DownDrain.htm
So during the trip, one of things I pondered was whether it was safer for people to swim in the ocean or stay at the pool ... safety aside, which is cleaner? Opinions differ, but the need for
water awareness is crucial not only from a survival and global-warming perspective (see Help Our Planet at http://www.intuitiveconcepts.com/selective_links.htm), but because water is
one of the five Feng Shui elements (and 2008 is a water year). We are what we think. One of our recommended authors is Dr. Masaru Emoto. In The Hidden Messages in Water
, Dr. Emoto demonstrates that our thought processes affect water. Just as life is about movement, change, and flow ... so is water. A dense body is dehydrated and is
more apt to hold toxins, thus why we're supposed to drink a lot of water. In Hidden Messages, Dr. Emoto's freezes water and photographs how it crystallizes. When projecting commanding
(forceful) thoughts the water becomes distorted. I can't help but think about frogs and species that are becoming more deformed or extinct because of what we're doing to water and the
environment. Then, when projecting productive (supportive) thoughts, Emoto's crystals are quite lovely. In my opinion, his work aligns and confirms classic Feng Shui principles.
We are what we consume. Evidence makes a case for purified water. I personally noticed a difference in my health when we installed a whole-house purification, deionization water
system in the 1980s. Anyone who visits notices it too. Everything tastes better and guests love their skin after showers.
I don't believe in coincidences so upon my return and reviewing mail, there in the pile was information regarding water. It inspired me to take pen to paper (or, in this case fingers to keypad).
Something that affects drinking water, swimming water, and our health is chlorine. Here's information from the Medical College of Wisconsin www.pure-earth.com/chlorine.html.
According to the U.S. Council of Environmental Quality, "cancer risk among people drinking chlorinated water is 93% higher than among those whose water does not contain chlorine."
Simply stated, chlorine is a pesticide; as defined by the U.S. EPA (Environmental Protection Agency) whose sole purpose is to kill living organisms." I saw children, adults, and birds drinking pool water. Breast cancer, which now affects one in every eight women in North America, has been linked to chlorine. A Hartford, Connecticut, study showed that "women with breast cancer have
50-60% higher levels of organochlorines (chlorination byproducts) in their breast tissue than women without breast cancer."
I mentioned our guests taking showers. A warm shower opens the skin's pores so we absorb more chlorine. The steam we inhale while showering can contain up to 50 times the level of
chemicals than tap water since chlorine vaporizes much faster ... visa vise chlorine gas (chloroform) goes directly into our blood stream. For more information, visit Global Healing Center www.ghchealth.com/chlorine-cancer-and-heart-disease.html. Also, the Internet Health Library offers an extensive epidemiology on the topic.
www.internethealthlibrary.com/Environmental-Health/Chlorine-and-cancer.htm
There is good news! Chlorine is one of the easiest substances to remove from our water. As the above sites attest, no one will argue that chlorine serves an important purpose, and that
hazards of doing away with chlorine are greater than or equal to related health risks. Manage your environment consciously, or it manages you!© We are what we think and consume. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Tip of the Month On 8/07/08, we begin a 2 earth period through 9/06/08. An earth month in a one water year
(began 2/4/08) should alert females to take caution. Gynecological issues may arise. If you have been putting off that annual check up, now would be a good time to get that appointment
scheduled. In the United States, a new school year will begin soon. Mothers are usually delegated the responsibility to begin shopping and preparing for school. During this period,
you may experience a diminished sex drive. For the men experiencing this month's energy, it can come across as women are being too controlling. Pitch in and be patient.
The monthly Chinese astrology sign of Tiger may have more challenges during the month. And, remember all of 2008 (2/4/08 to 2/4/09) is challenging for horses. Energy Days This Month
- Mercury Retrograde – None for August
- Lunar eclipse – 08/16
- Solar eclipse – 08/01
- New moon – 08/01, 08/30 generally good to start new projects
- Full moon – 08/16 generally good to wrap up a project. Not good for surgery or medical procedures due to risk of increased bleeding. Also, bulbs planted during a full
moon produce better results!
If you have an important decision to make (or action to take) be sure and consult with us for a good day.

By Mary Robinson Reynolds We All Make A Difference. The Question is: What Kind of Difference Are We Making?
I am blessed to receive emails all the time from people wanting to know how they can help me advance my life's work and message. I can't remember ever doing this before ... asking for
your help to make an even greater difference! Today is the day I'm asking you to join me in doing something for your community School
District ... I'm asking you to give them my FREE 9-Week Curriculum. Imagine ... how many schools - together - we can impact in a powerful and positive way.
It's easy. Simply go to your school district's website and send the Principal or Superintendent this website address www.MakeADifference.com/Curriculum - telling them that as a caring, concerned member of the community this
IS the curriculum that will change the problematic areas of education for the better and give their students and faculty a "lift that lasts" ...for FREE!
Visualize the solution rather than focus on the problem. This is an easy way to be Pro-Active and to make a world of difference. I don't need to tell you that our educational system needs
real and meaningful support ... this is just one aspect of my life's body of work because it's where my entrepreneurial trek began.
The story behind the story of my 9-week curriculum is this: As I've mentioned in several of my books, when I was a 6th grade teacher, I was almost fired, because five or more other
teachers had teamed up to complain to the Superintendent about how much fun the children were having in my classroom, believing that my students couldn't possibly be learning a thing.
I was called into the Superintendent's office one day and informed that my job was on the line and was 100% dependent on how well my kids scored on the Stanford Achievement Test
Series. Thankfully I was told this just after giving the test to the kids so I didn't inadvertently stress them out with my fear!
When the test results came in, I was blown away to find that my entire class had excelled beyond anything I could have ever imagined. Then I went to the school's files and investigated
how these kids had done in their previous years tests - in researching the complaining teachers' results - I found these kids had actually lost academic growth with the 4th & 5th grade teachers by 2-3 years. Not only did my students make up what they lost in the two previous years, they averaged an overall growth of 2-3 years that year because of what was actually happening in my classroom.
I marched the results right in to my Superintendent ...and after studying the comparisons he apologized to me on the spot! My job was secure ... but the gift in all of this
was that I suddenly had a new awareness of how much I was actually helping my students to achieve in measurable terms! This 9-week curriculum I'm offering educators for free IS the basic foundation and
fundamentals of the work I did with very high-risk populations of students from every imaginable walk of life - from the first day of every school year. Why would I give my
curriculum away now, when it's the end of the school year? Because as schools are closing their doors for the summer, they are also planning now for their August in-service training.
Now is the time to start preparations ... and if they want to be assured there will be enough of my new Make A Difference with the Power of Connection gift books, I Make A DifferenceTM bracelets and
Blue Ribbons to meet the demand come fall, they need to know that now is the week to take action because it takes 6-8 weeks to get these resources in-house.
Regardless of whether or not schools purchase our other resources - they will most certainly get the wealth of my knowledge, know-how, success and experience to use as they determine is best
, as just one way I intend to help. Whether you are a business person, single person, parent, grandparent or helping professional, this is one easy way you can make a huge difference in your community starting today. As Walt Disney said: "You can dream, create, design and build the most wonderful place in the world ...but it requires people to make the dream a reality."
It takes people to build better communities ... and that includes making a difference for our children and our schools. ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ Our Upcoming Events

The end of summer is rapidly approaching. Children's activities, vacations, and camps are ending and many people are preparing for fall. As you prepare for the upcoming school year,
one of your many tasks will be to ensure students, teachers, and families use their good sleeping directions. Rest is very important in order to maintain focus and grace. This question recently arose…
o Diana, My husband and I have moved into a new house and we have not been sleeping. You had previously mentioned good sleeping directions. What do you suggest?
Hello and thanks for writing, This is an excellent question and a valid concern. A starting point is your sleeping
direction. Each person has four good directions that support them, and four directions that drain their energy. This conclusion is based on the eight types of people belonging
to different trigrams (based on yin and yang combinations of I-Ching's 64 hexagrams). Keep in mind males are calculated differently than females. To find out which
directions and characteristics (personality traits, health vulnerabilities) pertain to you, read this article
. Again, this is one aspect that can be affecting your sleep. Others can
be the energy of your home (i.e., electro-magnetic influences, conflicting energy in the NW and SW, etc.), energy of the land (i.e., if geopathic stress is near your home, or
you live near an electric or cell tower, etc.), stress that you are experiencing, and many other factors. We can help you with your house, land, and even some personal
aspects but if the condition continues consider changing your routine or visiting your physician. We'll check in with you in a month to see how you're coming along.
More on sleeping tips:
o Diana, Remember how we told you we lived in a circle house and you said it's easy to get caught up in the energy and it usually affects sleep? Well...we were not sleeping and
took your advice. I blocked one of the doorways with the TV console and hung some nice dark burgundy fabric in the doorway to match the Persian rugs. It took the WHIP
out of the energy run. We are sleeping better. The house feels better and we feel better emotionally. Pretty cool!! Kathy Stone
GreenDeva.com Kathy,

This Month's Feature How do our children need to be nurtured, and where do they need guidance? While our
Child Star report offers valuable insights for children (newborns through teens), I learned a lot about
myself as well. I wish this information would have been available when I was a child, and while I was raising children. This unique natal report describes in great detail a child's emerging
identity as well as their emotional and intellectual inclinations. It also delves into areas where children show their greatest potential for success, personal fulfillment and happiness. By
helping you identify and understand a child's talents and the challenges they may face, you can successfully guide them through their most important years. This report gives insight on
how we began our physical journey (temperament, strengths, weakness, etc.) and ways to nurture growth. Also good for suggestions on rearing each unique child!~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~ ~
