I'm so excited to share the success of HUB's Awakening Your Brilliance event with you all. We had close to 500 people attend and the feedback has been wonderful. People walked away with a clearer personal and global vision and tools to transform their lives and bring their dreams into fruition. Speakers such as Rev. Michael Beckwith, Mark Victor Hansen, Janet Bray-Attwood, Charlie Gay, Barbara Marx Hubbard, Kimmie Weeks, Freddie Ravel and others inspired a profound call to action and empowerment. that we are the

These are some words from Charlie Gay, visionary founder of Humanity Unites Brilliance His wise words are as follows.
It is simple, so very simple.
The world was created, went into its childhood, our minds led the world to confusion, it lingered in compromise, our frustrations raised, hurt and angered led us to conflict and then crisis.
Everything about the world, everything in it, everyone in it, every business in it. You, me, our relationships with our selves, with each other follow this path.
The path led the world to two thousand years of slowly becoming deaf. Nations became deaf. Our leaders became deaf.
Then today came. This hour. This second...
The very moment when our cries in ultimate crisis of “God get me out of this” may not have allowed us as people to continue.
The crisis was too great. The hurt too deep and the judgment too lost.
Inevitably we would have continued in the choice of being lesser than, slipping away and loosing the beauty and spirit of the world for ever.
But this was not too be.
Confession…as authentic as the world’s origin, and then self-compassion swept the world and us as a people.
As 2000 moved towards 2008 the ranks of those that could hear, swelled exponentially, with the knowledge that humanity, not the awareness of it but the very the action of humanity, could save us.
Humanity’s dimension of grace given to us 2000 years ago with “don’t judge lest thee be judged” and “help those that don’t have what I have” became the heartbeat of a universal code that is felt by millions today.
The reopening of the heart through compassion now leads the world back through clarity, a consciousness that endorses not the survival of the fittest, but a new paradigm, a new law of cooperation.
This leads you and I to be connected...
Now we are joined, united with each others brilliance, free of judgment of color, creed, religion and politics. We are to become the true authentic crusaders of love.

I just got introduced to this and for those who don't have fancy recording software it's awesome. I liked it so much I've become an affiliate distributor.
Here’s what Jack Canfield, Co-author of The Success Principles™ How to Get From Where You Are to Where You Want to Be and The Power of Focus had to say:
'I love this product. It instantly gives the average person a cost-effective way to combine personalized background music with their own affirmations and visions of their ideal life and create a CD or MP3 file for their I-pod or MP3 player. Then you can listen to your affirmations every day and burn them deeply into your subconscious mind. This assures an accelerated achievement of your goals.'

Recently I have become a founding Angel of HUB. Together we are creating a breakthrough economic engine that will drive a comprehensive global sustainability plan in the places it is most needed. This organization is in pre-launch and there is a huge opportunity to become involved. Contact me, 805.715.0050, and I can share more about this amazing vision.
HUB's mission is to move all people of the world from survival to self-sustainability. HUB-In AID is a product our Angels can gift. This movement is committed to returning dignity back to nations. "We don't just give a man a bag of grain, we teach him how to grow the grain himself in the future."
HUB co-creates sustainment programs with field agents in chosen communities around the world. Currently we are focusing on three key areas in need: Kenya, Zimbabwe and Mozambique. We call the recipients in each community "Hub-Powerees" because they receive more than just survival-aid (like food and water). Through HUB's empowerment programs, they are also supported with village build-outs, schools for 200 children each, and micro-loans for the caregivers of the children.
FOOD + WATER + EDUCATION + MICROCREDIT = SUSTAINABILITY
What is a one HUBie's immediate Impact?
That depends on your level of involvement in HUB.
If you are an individual giver, your giving helps feed 3 people, educate 3 people, provide clean water for 10 and provide environmental sustainability training to 16. This means you personally impact 32 lives as a HUBbie.
If you are an exponential giver, you give and inspire others to do the same. If you inspire three others, who in turn each inspire 3 others, we now have a group of 13 (1+3+9) which means 416 people are impacted as a result of your exponential giving.
A "HUB-Poweree" Example
Who are you impacting as you give to empower
Meet "Elizabeth" a mother of 9 and a care-giver to a family of 10. Her son "John" was selected to enter a HUB scholarship school. Elizabeth is then given a trade – banana silk weaving.
As Elizabeth's husband Joseph, a subsistence farmer, produces bananas, they are purchased from expert trainers in a co-operative of subsistence farmers. Around the same time, one of our HUBbies decides he has a passion to sell clothing made from natural fibers in the US Market. His Circle of Brilliance group encourages him to tap into John's production. This HUBbie buys product from Elizabeth at a discount and launches the successful clothing line "Threads for Life".
This example shows the multiple benefits of HUB's connections. A child was educated and trained, the family started a profitable, self-sustaining business, and one of our HUBbies realized his dream to impact the world in a positive way.
HUB-In Aid – A "Full Package" Product
FOOD + WATER + EDUCATION + MICROCREDIT
When giving aid, HUB works to combine at least four critical components (also known as a "full package") that delivers powerful results and moves entire families from survival to sustainability
HUB works with the finest products and partners to develop, manufacture and distribute the needed elements for HUB-In AID
HUB "full package" product partners include:
Food:
Feed The Children the worlds finest distributor and provider of food, which in 2007 totaled $1 Billion of aid, goods and services. Larry Jones has worked closely with the HUB founders for the last few years in Africa.
Nourish the Children, manufacturers of over 100 million Vitameal since 2002 and supporters of the founders African programs since 2006.
Water:
Raincatcher.org. Founder by Jack Rose raincatchers position is that there is enough water on the planet. It rains. We just need to catch it and purify it. The raincatcher is one of the most effective, economic and easy to maintain water initiative with raincatchers being installed on all HUB school roofs.
Kenya Water Wells Trust. One of the most established well diggers in Africa with over a 95% success record in drilling
Education:
HUB has various education partners in different multi native language countries yet we are embracing Healing Bridges, formed by an African, Zebiba who after suffering genocide, traveled to the United States, empowered herself and then modeled her plan in her home country of Eritrea with education for the children and micro loans for the care givers
Micro Loan:
Guided by counsel from The Micro Credit Summit, micro credit field agents also vary from country to country. HUB is developing a program in association with Healing Bridges, The Green Children and the 2006 Nobel recipient, Grameen Bank. More >

As of Dec. 24, 2007
Lakota Freedom: Treaty Withdrawal For Elders and Children
Sovereignty Action Sparks World Discussion, Disagreement, Inspiration
Lakota - What began as sparsely attended press conference announcing Lakota sovereignty has grown into an international roar of freedom inspiring people on every continent and sparking excitement and discussion in homes, tribal councils, schools, and on internet blogs and message boards. Across Indian Country in particular, the impact of the sovereign action is creating both inspiration and concern as the reality of freedom sinks in.
But mixed with the excitement and joy are concerns the Lakota people's needs will not be fully met, especially needs and concerns of the youth.
Lakota Freedom delegate and Oglala Lakota Cante Tenza - Strongheart Warrior Society leader Canupa Gluha Mani (Duane Martin Sr.) issued the following statement after discussion with the Strongheart Grandmothers:
"The whole Lakota declaration of withdrawal from the treaty is vested on the power of the Lakota people and our children.
When we undertook the process of announcing the withdrawal, the capacity was far greater than most people anticipated about an individual. But throughout our history, the people have never excluded anyone within their own lifeway and when it becomes a listener's view that its about one individual, one individual does not represent the nation itself, the nation represents the individual, and that is Lakota.

If you like to travel or want to start, please visit my new online travel business. If I can meet or beat the prices you see elsewhere, will you purchase from my site? The technology I use is like the Google of travel and scans the entire internet for you. I can even create a custom group trip for you and handle all the details. Also, I offer wholesale vacation packages on cruises, resorts and condos and you can find out how to travel for free too.
If you want a homebased business, like me, or have ever dreamed of being a travel agent watch this presentation and you can see what has me so jazzed. Then email me and I can answer any questions you might have and get you started right away if you want.
A couple of months ago a friend introduced me to World Ventures travel. I saw an opportunity for myself and my friends that was really exciting. I am so enthused at the trust and receptivity that people have had as I share about my new wholesale travel business. There has been incredible response. Close to 60 people in the last 1-1/2 months have chosen to team with me. I'm excited to be giving such an empowering opportunity to so many people and to help uplift them in their lives. Travel at wholesale or less and an income earning possibility. Pretty amazing. More >
