Join Us For Earth Hour! March 29th, 2008

On March 31st of last year, 2.2 million people and 2100 Sydney businesses turned off their lights for one hour. They called it “Earth Hour.” If the greenhouse reduction achieved in the Sydney CBD during Earth Hour was sustained for a year, it would be equivalent to taking 48,616 cars off the road for a year.

The goal was to inspire people to take action against climate change. And inspire it did! Unique events such as weddings by candlelight were reported and major Sydney icons like the Harbour Bridge and Opera House joined the movement by turning their lights off as well. The world took notice. Inspired by the collective effort of millions during last years event in Sydney, many major global cities are joining Earth Hour in 2008, turning a symbolic event into a global movement.

A New Commitment & A New Earth

It’s been way too long since I’ve posted here at Global Epiphany and I want to offer you my sincere apologies for that. I’ve been engrossed in my life, my kids, my work, and my Internet home business. I changed jobs in January and have been working a crazy schedule with an hour commute, so I’ve had less time in front of computer. But those are just excuses for my neglect… no more! Today, I am renewing my commitment here and I will be sharing my thoughts and insights with you more often. I hope you stick around to share and enjoy yours with me!

I was compelled to make this post right now (and delay my running on the treadmill) so I can talk to you about Oprah’s groundbreaking A New Earth Web event. For those who haven’t heard, Oprah is hosting a 10 week class every Monday night with Eckart Tolle, the author of the book A New Earth. The book is so many things… but in essence, it’s about awakening your consciousness to your life’s purpose. Not your external purpose, but the purpose for which we are all here on earth. The class focuses on and discusses one of it’s 10 chapters each week and therefore provides you with a more in depth understanding of its concepts and teachings. The book may be a somewhat hard read for some, but I have personally found it fascinating. The class is opening my eyes to seeing the concepts of the book in different ways and it’s greatly enhancing my understanding of it. I am really enjoying it, so I wanted you all to know that you’re missing out if you’re not involved. Go grab the book today and read it this week. You can even review the first two classes (this week’s and last) that cover chapters 1 & 2 to catch up, if you want. I want you to know that you can catch up and be ready for next week’s class. Trust me, you’ll be glad you did! Check out the promo video below and join us next week!

Talk to you soon,

Epiphany ~xoxo
