Earth Day Celebration

This week has been so fantastic.
I want to first thank everyone for showing up and supporting my vision.

After calling the town of Hamden, CT, the recycling coordinator obtained the Major approval for our concerts and events this year to raise money for the Earth Day Celebration, which is in April 2010. This get us going and this is great!

I guess that, feeling the enthusiasm, my daughter Mathilda decided to make her birthday party a Green Party! So fun! Her birthday is in November and she is turning 6.

Here are her ideas:
1.Do a Scavenger Hunt in the forest near our house and clean it at the same time
2.She designed a book about the earth ... I am still deciding on how to print it and make it a treat for the guests
3.Have a Green Cake with the Earth on it
4.Have Infinity (one of my singing group with Audrey Campbell, Lauren Larkin and Natascia Simone)sing inspiring "green" songs
5.Invite lots of friends to have great time and inspire them to recycle and compost.

Concert in New York(Symphonyspace.org, Dec 19 09), titled "Make a Change", we are now looking for one "up-coming famous" artist that would bring more attention to the event and raise more money. I put a letter together addressed to businesses and artists. Everyone who would support the benefit will have a special place in the Concert, either as a performer or in the Program Book and of course mentioned live during the event.

The money will go to 2 projects:
1. like already mentioned to support the Earth Day Celebration in Hamden
2. create a book about green easy actions to do for the children

The singer students are making great progress in choosing inspirational songs or writing and arranging their own songs.We work now on the details of each song, backing vocals and bettered melodies.

Tip of the week:
To save water, which is going to be a problem in a few years, turn the water off when you are brushing your teeth and use a cup to rinse.
Use detergent that don't have any phosphate in them...(banished in Europe in like 1977)

About the Avatar® Course:
I have a meetup group with Nancy O., my good friend, on Saturday morning at 11AM, it's free and you can start exploring right then with a mini-course (www.meetup.com/avatarct)
The question you must ask yourself is:
Why would you like to do the Avatar® course? Well imagine that the people who you fear, like least, and are overwhelmed by, are automatically conditioning 90% or more of your decisions. That's life without Avatar®!!
Go to avatarintro.com, it's a great way to get started.
Also if you'd like to explore your blueprints for 2 days and come out shiny and more yourself, the Masters of CT, NY, NJ are having a ReSurfacing® week end in New York Oct 3 and 4, there is also an introduction on Friday night in NY at 6.30PM, email for more info about location.

Tonight my husband noticed something interesting..."...here you are, Ariane, putting one more thing on your plate..." he was thinking about my green project,(he is supportive and I love him for that!)yes I am and let me tell you, having a "purpose" and taking action on it is an amazing feel. Try it! Because if we take the actions that will bring us to a better world, we will feel better about ourselves, and feeling good leads to stable happiness. Spread Happiness. Do something kind for someone else.

sending you all appreciation and love
Ariane
