I’m very excited about the brand new juice product from Amazon Herb Company, ZAMU. It’s unlike anything else on the market right now.

It is certified organic, with no added preservatives, and includes only the 7 ingredients listed on the company’s site and promotion materials, all of which are included for  their specific value. The Amazon Herb Company works in the Amazon sustainably harvesting herbs in partnership with the indigenous communities, and has been committed for its 18-year history to empowering those communities.

Lots of people have tried to get me interested in superfruit juice drinks like Xango, Monavie, and Zrii both as a customer and as a business builder. But before Zamu I wasn’t even interested in drinking them, much less telling other people about them. (more…)

It’s Independence Day here in the USA. For most people here that means picnics, barbecues, fireworks, and a long weekend. Some of us may also take a moment to think about what it means to live in this country.

I’m not usually a flag-waving patriot type, however I do believe in what our country ultimately stands for, and I know I am lucky to have been born here and to have the opportunities, advantages, and freedoms I have.

When I was in 4th grade, as a prelude to the nation’s Bicentennial Celebration in 1976, Illinois grade and high school students submitted essays answering the question, “What is the Spirit of ‘76?” I was 9 years old at the time and like everyone else in my class I wrote an essay on the topic. Some time later I was notified that I’d come in 11th of the several hundred thousand submitted. So I just missed being in the top 10, but was still thrilled that mine was considered so good.

I even got a plaque, which includes my essay and which I recently had sent back to Tucson (along with 10 boxes of my other stuff) from my parents’ home in the Chicago area. I thought I’d post it here.
My mom typed it, but I wrote it. Keep in mind I was 9 years old. (more…)

Welcome! This blog is best viewed through the main site at peoplepetsplanet.net. For the most part, blog entries will get categorized into the one area that fits best — People, Pets (includes all animals), Planet, or Prosperity. But sometimes it’ll get cross-posted if more than one category really fits.

I’m looking forward to the opportunity to share ideas, resources, and random knowledge with y’all here. Check back often!
