Movember! BEER = Changing the face of men's health forever...in a positive way!

They thought of the idea over beer! Yes my friends, BEER! Maybe they were tired of waking up hung over and needing to shave or they simply had an internal yearning to be Tom Selleck. Seriously, these are people who come from the land down under and can bring booz to work on Fridays! I feel we should expect nothing less from the Aussies. Trust me, they will always surprise you! Shall I present exhibit A? MOVEMBER!

Now are you ready to see something amazing?

Wait for it...

Almost there:-)

Seriously...one of the best equations EVER!

BEER = Changing the face of men's health forever...in a positive way!

(R U KIDDING ME!!!) :-)

In 2009 there were 255,755 MoBros and MoSista who participated in Movember, raising $47million dollars globally! But of course Movember is not just about raising awareness and funds for prostate cancer, even though in Canada all of the 7.8million raised in '09 went to Prostate Cancer Canada. It is obviously about looking good too! You know, unleashing your upper lip! Finding out what it is like to have a little French Tickler. Or as my Movember team and I like to call ourselves and the oh so stylish stache...The Upside Down Crumb Catcher! haha

Serious time again...

Did you know that 1 in 6 guys will be diagnosed with Prostate Cancer?

Or that 4,400 men will die as a direct result of prostate cancer in 2010!?!

Movember is about more then a moustache! It really is about changing the face and future of men's health! Shall I present Exhibit B? In a Movember survey "39% of MoBros sought medical advice, whilst a further 36% encouraged someone else to seek medical advice" regarding the topics of health, diet, exercise and lifestyle! Now, say a mere half of the 2009 Movember participants were men...that means 49,872.22 (yes .22) men proactively attempted to improved their lives and 46,035.90 tried to improve the lives of others around them. Pretty amazing if you ask me! Undoubtedly more amazing then the moustache I will be rocking after 30 days:-)

My friends, I find charity work very rewarding. Whether you participate in Movember or not, I encourage...no, I challenge you to try charity work sometime!

If you are interested in participating in or donating to the Movember movement let me know!

O O O I hope there was one for you today:-) As always, make it a great day! with love, Stephen

Now that may not seem like much in comparison to Perez Hilton's acclaimed 1 million hits/day...but I want you each to know you have made me feel very special and I will continue giving my "suchielove" the only way I know how:-)

Nature experience #1

I realized this morning I had forgotten how beautiful Sunrises are. From Barcelona to Cadillac Mountain not forgetting for a second The Grand Canyon, I have seen some amazing sunrises! But in darkness I sat this morning as I also realized I had forgotten to check what time the sunrise would be! Alarm was set for 6am...sun rose at 7:58am! So, by 8am I had...

1. Written a letter to a friend

2. Written in my Journal

3. Practiced a song I am working on.

--> (City in Colour - "The Girl") http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=SGTm4u1UWvg

4. Eaten Breakfast (Warm Oatmeal for a cold morning)

5. Spent some focused time on today's intention..."Accepting"

6. Had great sex...oh wait, that was at 5:45am while dreaming.

7. And finally, hours later, I watched the sunrise

Look at what happened...

Getting up early led to --> Greater accomplishment which induced --> Feelings of connected fulfillment that provided --> Positive perspective beginning the day and ultimately/ironically resulted in --> A very productive, loving and peaceful day.

Hmmmmm, now before I say that maybe "they" are right about the getting up early thing...I have to point out something that hit me like one of those AAAAAHHHHH moments. My actions this morning all connected me with something larger.

- The Sunrise with Nature

- Journal with Self (Yes, I feel we can be disconnected from ourselves)

- The Letter with another Person

- Guitar with the Creative (music has it's own healing rhythm! We listen and play it because it makes us feel good, no?)

So I ask: was waking up at 6am the key to my good day? More then likely, no. However, this morning I was connected with something larger. I did the things I wanted to do serving Self, Others and Nature. In turn, I carried a more positive attitude into my work day. Ultimately, I feel the key lies in the "connect time"...and ironically, that "connect time" just happens to be very available very early in the morning:-)

I will leave you with one last thought as I prepare for bed. Take a positive thought to sleep with you every night. From your deepest desires to your craziest passions...the more you focus on what you want the more likely you are to figure out a way to achieve it!

As will become customary...I thank you for your time, look forward to your participation, hope that all of you 248 people had and orgasm, and encourage you to make life amazing! with love,

Stephen

ps. anyone know how to set up and exactly what is an RSS feed?
