Top 10 Ways to Get a Body that you Love
by Angela Emery (www.gutchakra.blogspot.com.ar)

1. Just Say No to media re: fashion and beauty.

2. Take a lot of selfies - do whatever the hell you want with them

3. Take a lot of nude selfies. Look at them and say, "damn, I'm hot". / don't look for "wrongs"- it's ALL right

4. Use sudsy soap and your bare hands to wash yourself in the shower

5. Wear whatever you want, unapologetically.

6. Eat what makes you feel good. Especially if it's messy. Eat lots of messy food... Play with your food! Love it up! Tonight my friend told me, "you have whipped cream on your lip, but I kinda don't want to tell you because it's so cute." I felt like a Goddess. (Bc, duh ‪#‎iam‬)

7. If you have jiggly bits- play with them. Bodies are fun, yo!

8. Say things like, " I smell really good" and other affirmations that are totally true.

9. If you have a beautiful thought about your body- keep having that thought and don't start thinking about how you would "like your body more if...."

10. This is your body. It fits you perfectly. You have always had the perfect body, and will always have the perfect body. The only thing that can take that away from you is doubt which is fed to you through lies via photoshop and diet fads. Once you believe this, you will realize that you already have the body that you love; there is nothing to get because it already is- and you look great in it. Check yourself out.

Stress Less:  
1. Dance it out
2. Go for a walk
3. Talk about it
4. Take a deep breath
5. Go to bed earlier
6. Focus on what you can control
7. Reminisce about good times
8. Ask for a hug
9. Look for opportunities in life's challenges
10. Smile

Help "7 Billion" go viral by Tweeting and reposting on FB and with a message about how a woman in your life has inspired you. 

"7 Billion" reflects not only a message of global unity for environmental and social justice, but also acknowledges the struggle and everyday commitment their very own mothers and mothers around the world make to improve the lives of others. 

The "7 Billion" video was made by Green For All for the winners of The Dream Reborn Song Contest, designed to encourage artists to submit original music reflecting Dr. King's commitment to social justice. The contest winners Silent C and Invest inspired us all with a very powerful song entitled "7 Billion", which was produced by M.A of Scoop Life Productions, and were able to get the most 'likes' on Facebook for their song. 

Green For All is honored to give these two dynamic artists a platform to be heard (www.greenforall.org) and their message is clear...WE ARE 7 BILLION STRONG!!!!

At the Cambridge Music Festival I met many community members in mid-air.  Here is a favorite photo as Silvio's daughter looks on (she went next).  I flew over 20 people that day.   What a great day!

Last night as I was sleeping,
I dreamt
that I had a beehive
here inside my heart.
And the golden bees
were making white combs
and sweet honey
from my old failures.

To be clear and honest, I do not believe in war.  I believe in peace.  I believe we are capable of peace.  And, there is much more to be said.  For now...this video.   

This video helps me begin to share why I choose VT.
