Help get the bad guys out of my body

Reportedly none of the Silicon Valley VCs who saw the 5 year old Rhett's pitch turned it down.   

Rhett's video recruited more than 20 of the top VCs to offer themselves in auctions for lunch dates to benefit the Bay Area Leukemia & Lymphoma Society. 

About Rhett: Diagnosed with acute leukemia after suddenly falling ill watching the San Francisco Giants win the 2010 pennant on their way to becoming World Series Champions.  After many treatments since then his prognosis is good. His biggest dream, besides beating cancer, is to meet the Giants.

Thanks to Silicon Valley Business Journal for this heart warming story: http://www.bizjournals.com/sanjose/news/2013/05/22/heres-the-5-year-old-whose-pitch-won.html?ana=e_sjo_tf&s=newsletter&ed=2013-05-23&u=rXOElvq9A4LM+NJdG4lrPaLmrs3&t=1369347812more »

Pure Soap - What Stays Around Becomes a $50 Million Company

Good old Dr. Bronner's Pure Castile soap, a staple in hippie households of yore is back.  Haven't tried it? You should. it's good stuff.

The first Dr. Bronner claimed it as a non-profit religious organization & the IRS eventually nailed him. With a product too good to let go the next generation stepped in, keeping the full blown iconic product purity and ‘All-One’ message. 

What goes around comes around....and this one is rocking not just in the USA but internationally...predictions are for growth to  a $100 million company in 5 years.

Happy Beltain!

Beltain - Brilliant Fire - on May 1st - is a celebration of fertility, and the festival of Bel - Bright One - and his tain (Welsh tan) fire. May Day is still celebrated in many cultures around the world, a festival of the green-budding, brightly blossoming new life that arrives each year with such beauty and vitality. 

The  Baltan is the sacred fire of the Druids, obtained directly from the sun, and all the hearth fires were accompanied by feasts in honor of Bel, the Celtic deity of light.

Hooded Orioles

My day is made! +George Cohn spotted our pair of Hooded Orioles sipping nectar from the bright red pineapple sage blossoms on our patio.  They are very shy nesting high in our palm trees.  They have a charming distinctive whistling call.

Silicon Valley Businesswoman Giving Company Away To Her Workers

Owner Iris Harrell decided to retire in 2001 and she didn't have an heir. She believes ownership should be given to those who have worked to make the company successful. That's really good news for the 40 employees. 

In 5 to 10 years this company will employee owned through an Employee Stock Ownership Plan (ESOP). Right now they own 37.7%.

It took awhile for Iris Harrell to get a start in the construction industry. She taught English and history for five years, including a stint on a Navajo reservation then went on the road for 5 years as professional singer and guitarist and then was an administrator at a non-profit.  

Working on a remodeling project for a friend, she got really excited about the work. Finding employment was really tough. She was brushed off many times butev... more »

Science Rocks

From China a graphene aerogel that is the world"s lightest substance!

Why do we care?  This new material is amazingly absorptive, able to suck in up to 900 times its own weight in oil at a rate of 68.8 grams per second — only oil, not water, which means it has massive potential as a cleaning material when it comes to events such as oil spills.

Then, both the graphene aerogel and the oil could be recycled.

22 Things Happy People Do Differently

I love the advice in this article. So sensible. Nothing onerous.  

For me it is a lot of work to reset to new habits but so totally worth it. And I fall off the wagon sometimes. I guess everyone does. 

1. Don’t hold grudges.
2. Treat everyone with kindness.
3. See problems as challenges.
4. Express gratitude for what they already have.
5. Dream big.
6. Don’t sweat the small stuff.
7. Speak well of others.
8. Never make excuses.
9. Get absorbed into the present.
10. Wake up at the same time every morning.

Good start, huh? For the last 12 you'll need to link this short article.

What Goes Around Comes Around

Apple co-founder, Steve Wozniak's former Los Gatos CA home is for sale. Again. Got $4 million  It's yours!  Consider it a bargain.  In 2008 the asking price was $10 million. That's where +George Cohn and I came in. We made the original video that was designed to attract qualified (wealthy) buyers from around the world. 

Want that tour? Check it out here: 
http://creationgroundmedia.com/work-samples/item/41-legendary-estate  
Sure, it's been remodeled since Woz lived there, but the Little Mermaid mural is still there, as are the underground cave grotto and the koi pond, the Children's Museum play room, the fire pole from the upstairs bedroom, and the gorgeous views of the Los Gatos hills are just a few of the unique features.
