Many of you have asked me a time or two, “Jeff, how do you stay so moxie?” Well, friends… here’s just one small secret. Enjoy! (ps, yes, I was laughing the entire time I made this!)

I’ve always been guilty, typically on a Friday afternoon, of asking the question of “What’s there to do?” Thankfully, DailyCandy has the answer. DailyCandy is a website that provides up to the day updates on things to do in a particular city. The DailyCandy Dallas site is a wonderful and informative site that gives you all the latest and greatest things to do in categories such as lifestyle, fashion, travel, house/home and food/drink.

Their site offers a subscription that will be emailed to you daily or weekly and they give you some of the coolest things to do in the wonderful city that you currently live. As of this post, DailyCandy covers cities such as Dallas, Atlanta, Boston, Chicago, Los Angeles, London, Miami, New York, Philadelphia, Washington DC and Seattle.

So check it out. I promise they give you nothing but moxie, fun, family-oriented and fashionably-oriented things to do so you’ll never have to ask the question again!

I wanted to say THANK YOU, again, to Neal Campbell and Cali Lewis for hosting me as a guest on The Neal Show this afternoon.  I truly had a blast with them!  They’re absolutely the coolest.

You can listed to The Neal Show: Episode #4 here.

You can read Neal on his blog here.

Enjoy!

It’s official my friends and family. A dream of mine has come true. I got to meet Cali Lewis and Neal Campbell (Geekbrief.tv, The Neal Show) at their place and I was a guest on The Neal Show!!!! They are the nicest, sweetest people I’ve met through social media/online and the fact that Geekbrief.tv was my first and most favorite podcast, well this has just come full circle for me.

I can’t begin to explain how grateful I am for not only having a great time with the both of them, but they also spent at least 20 to 30 minutes answering all of my questions and giving me some great insight into my blog and my passion (social media). They’re just as awesome in real life as they are online.

As soon as the episode of The Neal Show gets published, I’ll post the link. Thank you Neal and Cali!!!

Below is just a quick video I made while I was a guest on The Neal Show…. enjoy (for my family!)

As part of dedicating my blog towards Earth Day 2008, I wanted to find an organization that would help me make a difference to this world.  I found the perfect one!  The Nature Conservancy is doing a campaign called “Plant a Billion Trees: one dollar, one tree, one planet.”  It’s a fantastic cause!

For every $1.00 you donate ($10.00 minimum), the Nature Conservancy will plant one tree in your name in the rain forests of Brazil.  It is SO easy to donate… so please, take the time to read their campaign and donate just $10.00 for 10 trees to be planted in your name (you can definitely donate more than $10.00 if you want)!

I tend to not write about religious things because, to be honest, I don’t find it moxie.  However, I feel compelled to discuss this latest craziness.  As many of you know (my “A New Earth” post is one of the most visited), Oprah chose a book for her book club that is stirring up a lot of controversy.  She also is conducting (with the author Eckhart Tolle) an 8-week webclass that has hundreds of thousands, if not millions, of students participating in this book’s study.

I was recently told to “be careful” since I was a student in this class and reading the book.  Why?  Well, it seems a few organizations, media outlets and churches are condeming Oprah for “sponsoring” this book. They’re claiming A New Earth is New-Age, un-Christian, full of lies and deceit and that Oprah is (and I quote) “the Anti-Christ… lying to millions of her followers so they will drop Christianity out of their own, confused lives.”

Really?  Wow.  That’s a strong statement.  So naturally, I did some digging and found a few interesting points.  The most watched “anti-Oprah” on YouTube regarding this book and her title as “Anti-Christ” is sponsored by some guy named Islm13.  It has over 5 million views.  This guy’s video was produced by a church claiming that all Christians need to unite against Oprah and Eckhart Tolle and to not be fooled by this “new-age”, “evil” book.  The interesting thing about his videos… they don’t slam Oprah just on the book.  They then make it political and say “she’s also supported Obama as President, which we all know is an evil Muslim who is destined to destroy America…“  REALLY?  Well, that right there told me that this is definitely politically-motivated… and when you get politics involved, truth and reality seem to be thrown out like garbage.

I searched all of the webcasts (again I’m a student taking this class every Monday night) and I found an interesting clip, from the mouth of Oprah herself (gasp!!!  Who would have thought to actually ask the source???)

Here it is… you decide.  Do you think Oprah is giving up her Christianity?  I sure don’t.  She states that her belief in God and Jesus are NOT JUST defined by the scriptures.  She doesn’t put God in a box.
