First I am excited to share our new logo/brand (located above in case you didn't notice:) From here on out, this is the mark of our movement. We were very fortunate to have the opportunity to work with an extremely talented artist. He really grasped our vision and took it beyond what we ever imagined it could become. If you or anyone else has design or video needs, we would highly recommend Johnny Hazard...is that a rock star name or what! Here is a bit more on Johnny's services and his contact information. Thank you again Johnny!

Item 2:
Another Agent will be joining our movement of change. I don't want to give away who this person is just yet...but I can tell you that they have a whole lot of experience with change. Uniquely, much of the change they have experienced has not necessarily been what they were seeking, yet they always roll with whatever life throws at them in the most positive light. This person has followed my/our entire story, they believe strongly in what we are doing and in recent months undergone some major change of their own (all based upon our methods and madness:). Any guesses? Look for their introduction post soon.
Item 3:
There is a lot of talk about organic produce these days...what is safe to buy non-organic, what pesticides are used on what, which produce is a MUST for buying organic only, etc...
I have pasted the story below...but what's really cool is you can follow a link to a downloadble sheet for your shopping trips. No more wondering or worrying about which was OK to buy and which wasn't. With the Dirty Dozen Cheat Sheet you can shop safely.
The Dirty Dozen Cheat Sheet is a handy, compact and easy reminder of which fresh products are high in pesticides and which are low. Cool Hunting calls it " the world's cutest pocket guide to buying organic" and from the look of it, we would have to agree.
It's a very straight forward little piece of paper that takes 27 of the most common fruits and vegetables and divides them into two categories: those that usually have a low pesticide content and those that don't. Just keep it in your purse/pocket and pull it out while shopping. How simple is that.
Created by Heidi Kenney, she has made it so that it is downloadable, and everyone can have their own sweet copy. Very generous and very handy because the biggest complaint about buying organic is how expensive it can be. This guide helps you make the decision on the spot without resorting to the net, the IPhone, your memory.
The information is drawn from the Environmental Working Group , a non-profit that "uses the power of public information to protect public health and the environment."
They have drawn up a list of 47 fruits and vegetables which they have rated according to levels of pesticide.
--Fruits and Vegetables Loaded with Pesticides
The top ten worst, i.e. loaded with pesticides are: peaches, apples, sweet bell peppers, celery, nectarines, strawberries, cherries, kale, lettuce and imported grapes.
--Fruits and Vegetables with the Least Pesticides
Those with the lowest level of pesticides are: onions (the best), avocados, sweet corn frozen, pineapple, mangoes, asparagus, sweet peas frozen, kiwi, cabbage and eggplant.
You have been warned.
