About me: I am currently working on an energy efficient and green building website for construction as I have completed work on my other two projects. Since the death of my Father I am now focused on my primary direction in life of energy efficient construction and green building. However, I also support, and always will, all environmental issues and advocate a back to nature way of living. Thus organics and holistic medicines are high on my list and chemicals and pharmaceuticals are not. I have also had an energy efficient community development idea in the works, but the current housing market and mortgage company fiasco have that on hold for now. In addition, from conception to groundbreaking can take years on developments. Also the new player in market that I was monitoring was nothing but wind so I am proceeding with my original plans. The older you get the more you realize high corporate types are primarily filled with lots of gas. Thus, I am back at work on my website.
However, stay tuned as shift happens :)
Who I'd like to meet: Anyone who is interested in building energy efficient construction, green building and renewable energy. I am also seeking friends in the real estate development field or connections to real estate investement funding. I am in search of funding to develop an energy efficient new urbanism style community.
I would like to meet like minded people who are interested in saving and conserving global resources and the wildlife that is left. I am also into organics and natural processes as well as reducing, reusing and recycling of resources and materials.
Think Global act Local:
A new consciousness is emerging as environmentalists numbers increase and awareness of the true fragile nature of the earth is coming to light.
We need changes now on all fronts of sustainability, deforestation, protection of our fresh waters and oceans and decreasing chemical use as well as decreases in sources of pollution.
Our planet is speaking to us now and we need to listen and lessen our impact!
I AM the Lover of purity, the Giver of all holiness. I seek a pure heart and there is the place of My rest.
If you wish that I come to you and remain with you, purge out the old leaven and make clean the dwelling of your heart.
Everyone who loves prepares the best and most beautiful home for his beloved, because the love of the one receiving his lover is recognized thereby. The Imitation of Christ By Thomas à Kempis
“People weep rivers of tears because a son is not born of because they cannot get riches. But who sheds even one teardrop because he has not seen God” ~ Sri Ramakrishna

Hi, hope this finds you well. Have a wonderful week! God bless you and be with you! Peace, Health and Happiness! Love, Light, Grace and Bliss!
My dearest friend I wish you a Merry Christmas and a very Happy New Year! I will be gone for over a month flying to Greece to be with my Mom. So, I will not have computer access for at least a month. I will be thinking of you and wishing you the very best. Sending you much love and blessings. Libby xox
If you wish to be My disciple, offer yourself to Me with all your heart.
AS I offered Myself willingly to God the Father for your sins with hands outstretched and body naked on the cross, so that nothing remained in Me that had not become a complete sacrifice to appease the divine wrath, so you should be willing to offer yourself to Me day by day in a pure and holy oblation, together with all your faculties and affections, with as much inward devotion as you can.
What more do I ask than that you give yourself entirely to Me? I care not for anything else you may give Me, for I seek not your gift but you. Just as it would not be enough for you to have everything if you did not have Me, so whatever you give cannot please Me if you do not give yourself.
Offer yourself to Me, therefore, and give yourself entirely for God -- your offering will be accepted.
But if you rely upon self, and do not offer your free will to Mine, your offering will be incomplete and the union between us imperfect. Hence, if you desire to attain grace and freedom of heart, let the free offering of yourself into the hands of God precede your every action. This is why so few are inwardly free and enlightened -- they know not how to renounce themselves entirely.
My word stands: " in the same way, you must give up everything you have. If you don't, you can't be my disciple." Luke 14:33 The Imitation of Christ ~ Thomas à Kempis
IF YOU wish to make progress in virtue, live in the fear of the Lord, do not look for too much freedom, and discipline your senses. Repentance opens the door to many blessings which dissoluteness usually destroys.
No liberty is true and no joy is genuine unless it is founded in the fear of the Lord and a good conscience.
Happy is the man who can cast away every cause of distraction and bring himself to holy contrition. Happy is the man who puts away from him whatsoever may stain or burden his conscience.
Pray humbly to the Lord, therefore, that He may give you the spirit of contrition and say with the Prophet: "Feed me, Lord, with the bread of mourning and give me to drink of tears in full measure." ~ Thomas a Kempis
Therefore, brothers, since we have confidence to enter the Most Holy Place by the blood of Jesus, let us draw near to God with a sincere heart in full assurance of faith, having our hearts sprinkled to cleanse us from a guilty conscience and having our bodies washed with pure water. ~ Hebrews 10:19, 22
I am the light of the world. Whoever follows me will never walk in darkness, but will have the light of life. ~ John 8:12
Now if you obey me fully and keep my covenant, then out of all nations you will be my treasured possession. Although the whole earth is mine, you will be for me a kingdom of priests and a holy nation. ~ Exodus 19:5-6
In the beginning was the Word, and the Word was with God, and the Word was God. He was with God in the beginning. Through him all things were made; without him nothing was made that has been made. In him was life, and that life was the light of men. The light shines in the darkness, but the darkness has not understood it. ~John 1:1-5
Consecrate all acts to the Lord. Then you will be freed. He who tries to live in this spirit will be able to do self-surrender unto the Lord. Gradually he ascends the spiritual path step by step. His greedy nature is slowly dissolved.
The Knowledge of the Self is the most profound secret. It can hardly be described in words. It can be realized only through direct experience or spiritual intuition. The self-luminous, eternal is ever shining in the chambers of the hearts of men.
God regards all living beings alike. He is the enemy of none. The egoistic man only has created a wide gulf between himself and God by his wrong attitude. God is closer to you than your own breath, nearer than your hands and feet.
God is like fire. Just as fire removes cold from those who draw near it but does not remove the cold from those who keep away from it. ~Swami Sivananda
Below is a video of Nigel Potter's song,
No More War (Upon The Green Earth) that is part of the Mantra Of Peace
music compilation. I constructed this video for Nigel because it's an
important song with a very popular sentiment that has been an anthem
for a very long time.
I hope you will watch and appreciate all of our efforts to bring about messages in peaceful artistic means.
Thanks so much for being my friend, Xtreme On Green!
I am stopping by to say "hi" and to remind you that in addition to MySpace, you can visit with me on Twitter and Facebook. I also have a personal blog on StockValues.
I write mostly about farming/gardening and stock/bond investing, but also anything else that rattles my cage. Please stop by when you get a chance.
"It is not the critic who counts; not the man who points out how the strong man stumbles, or where the doer of deeds could have done them better. The credit belongs to the man who is actually in the arena, whose face is marred by dust and sweat and blood; who strives valiantly; who errs, who comes short again and again, because there is no effort without error and shortcoming; but who does actually strive to do the deeds; who knows great enthusiasms, the great devotions; who spends himself in a worthy cause; who at the best knows in the end the triumph of high achievement, and who at the worst, if he fails, at least fails while daring greatly, so that his place shall never be with those cold and timid souls who neither know victory nor defeat. " ~ Teddy Roosevelt
