As people around the world gather to celebrate International Womens Day, Mary Ann Halpin will be excitedly awaiting the galleys of her latest book, Fearless Women, Visions of a New World. The coffee table book contains photographic portraits of 50 extraordinary women across the globe, captured by her lens.

The book is the culmination of a yearlong project to find and photograph women across the globe who are creating a vision for a new and better world. Representing a new, futuristic open canvas, each Fearless Woman selected for the book was photographed wearing white against a white background and holding an object that symbolizes what she is doing to help create a new and better world. Each is a visionary and change maker in her own way. All are working to make a difference and share work centered on renewal, peace and harmony.

Halpin found inspiration for the project in remarks made by the Dalai Lama, who said that the world will be saved by the western woman. As the world undergoes the kinds of major shifts we are experiencing right now, I see more and more women feeling called upon to do something bigger than themselves and responding in amazing ways, said Halpin. “This book captures and chronicles the important stories of fearless women across the globe who are working to make the world a better place. I feel proud and honored to have had the opportunity to spend time with them.

Halpin will celebrate International Womens Day on a global conference call with a fearless women from her books. In stunning photographic portraits with accompanying text, Halpin shines her spotlight on women like:

– Linda Gray, respected actress, activist and former United Nations Goodwill Ambassador (1997- 2007) working with the charity organization Force for Good to build a school in Malawi, Africa

– Karen R. Mertes, Lt. Col. (Ret.), United States Air Force, President & Founder, Fulfill Your Destiny, Inc. (and cover girl for the new book, Fearless Women, Visions of a New World) working to help people whose life paths have been permanently altered through traumatic events

– Katie Meyler, Founder, More Than Me Foundation working to get little girls off the streets and into school in Liberia, West Africa.

Fearless Women, Visions of a New World is Halpins fourth book. Her work has been acclaimed for revealing everything from the glamorous beauty of Hollywood and the exquisite glow of pregnancy, to the heartbreaking despair of Skid Row. Through much of her 25 year career, she has turned her camera on women and their issues, photographing hundreds of women, families and celebrities. Her earlier books include Fearless Women~Fearless Wisdom (released in 2010 in conjunction with the 90th anniversary of the 19th amendment which gave women the right to vote) and Fearless Women: Midlife Portraits (featuring celebrities such as Joni Mitchell, Cybill Shepherd and Erin Brokovitch in compelling black and white portraits as they approached aging with passion and fearlessness). Her first book, Pregnant Goddesshood: A Celebration of Life, received national attention for images of pregnant women, considered controversial at the time, creating the first maternity portraits now so popular with expectant mothers. Images from Pregnant Goddesshood have been featured in LIFE Magazine.

About the Book

Fearless Women, Visions of a New World is scheduled for release on May 18th in Los Angeles when Halpin will launch an international book tour with stops across the U.S. and Canada and culminating in a summit in Uganda in November. The book and events will support A Billion Fearless Women, the sister charity of Fearless Women Global, whose mission is to bring a billion women together globally to generate and support projects that create a more compassionate, equitable and healthy world. The groups first global project is Miracle Village in Ki-Mombasa, Uganda, a project to build educational and health care facilities for women and children living in extreme poverty and fear.

One of Northern Californias innovative energy medicine companies is now creating beautiful jewelry that protects the wearer from harmful electromagnetic energies that are often present in today’s high tech world.

HighChi Energy Jewelry is the ideal combination of divine beauty, bold sophistication, higher energy and subtle armor which provides protection from harmful electronic rays. HighChi Jewelry products are becoming known for their high quality, timeless design, and dramatic styles which combine the best of old world and leading edge technologies.

HighChi Energy Jewelry is the perfect matrix of pristine and impeccably balanced energy, says Deborah Stuart, founder and design director for HighChi, LLC. They are in essence 21st Century or New World talismans, to help people manifest what they desire most while protecting them from negative electromagnetic energy fields (Negative EMFs) generated by todays wireless technology, especially cellular phones. Several independent scientific studies have shown that every piece of jewelry we sell has the capacity to protect and release stress from the wearer, creating a wonderful sense of well-being.

According to Stuart, each piece is meticulously crafted according to Harmonic Resonance Technology, which activates a higher vitality and energy in body, mind and spirit while protecting the wearer form the harmful effects of negative frequencies generated by negative electromagnetic energy fields, and even lower frequency energies from others. Even more importantly, she says, HighChi helps people release their own harmful thoughts and feelings.

The HighChi Jewelry collection includes various linesSacred Geometry, Gods & Goddesses, Chi Charms, Harmonic Jewels, Mens Collection and Power Pieces. In the Eastern Ayurvedic tradition, gemstones have been used for thousands of years, for healing, protection and prosperity. When gemstones are energized with HighChi Energy, their properties are amplified. These same energies were also considered the Sap in the Tree of Life in the Kabbalah. The Ancient Geomancers of Feng Shui in China also created these energies for the perfect alignment of body, mind, spirit and physical environments.

Through its extensive research, HighChi, LLC has developed a proprietary technology that can be used to energize nearly anything, including cars, apparel, and even cosmetics. The company is now licensing its six energy formulations to consumer product companies and manufacturers. The big picture vision is to create the most healing and transformative energy available and make it available to as many people as possible.

We believe that negative EMF or ELF pollution is the biggest pollution on the planet right now, and independent studies show the important health and transformational related benefits of wearing HighChi Jewelry, adds Stuart, a conscious entrepreneur and energy medicine pioneer who has called the Bay Area home for the past 16 years. Based upon the brilliant work of the fathers of subtle energy medicine, including Nikola Tesla, William Royal Rife, Dr. Wilhelm Reich, Dr. Albert Abrams, George Lakhovsky, and more recently Dr. Ibrahim Karim, we are standing on the shoulders of these giants and creating remarkable solutions. Our full time research and development efforts have allowed us to continually upgrade new and existing jewelry for the most optimal beauty and protection for HighChi fans.

HighChi Energy Jewelry products retail between $ 49.00 and $ 699.00 at Exhale stores, Yoga Works and many other fine retail stores. For more information about the company and its entire HighChi Energy Jewelry collection visit http://www.HighChi.com or call (415) 868-9050.

The Beauty industry has a long history of advocating for women and children, and a local stylist has decided to try to make a difference by going hands on in her community.

When Airie McCready had to close her retail store, she handed in the keys and like many of us prepared to make a big change in her life.

“I’ve always been taught to give back, especially in times when I am in need,” says McCready, ” so rather than dwell on the loss of my store, I decided to see if I could do some haircuts over at Serenity House, which is close to my home.”

When McCready arrived, she was surprised to see that they actually had put in what amounted to a small “salon” for the residents, dubbed, “The Evolution Salon.”

Many of the women are required to stay at Serenity House and not leave the grounds for at least 14 days. Almost all of them do not have the money for any type of professional beauty service or even transportation to get to a salon.

The small room was not being used except for a couple of times a year when a local salon would come in for a day to cut hair.

“After talking to the staff and the residents,” says McCready, “I could see there was a real need for these women to have some professional care-to show them they were worth both our care and their own self care-something that’s difficult for many of them to grasp. And it needed to be on an ongoing basis.”

Within two weeks McCready had contacted Eufora International and Bassett Salon Solutions, who both were generous enough to donate Eufora products for washing and styling. Soon she was contacted by representatives from Goldwell and Unite Eurotherapy who brought over extra product that was usually given away or disposed of. McCready found herself with a lot of product and only two hands-her own.

“I posted on Facebook,” says McCready, “and the response was great-from local stylists wanting to help as well as others across the country.”

McCready spent two exhausting days as the only stylist at Evolution with Heidi Borrelli, her assistant attempting to keep everything organized.

“The women were so excited that we were there to do their hair,” says Borrelli, “it was hard to get through to them that we were coming back-and that Airie planned to be there every week.”

Since that day, McCready has been joined by several local stylists, including Tamera Pedro Cudal, Lynne Joliffe, Megan Underwood. Local Salons have also joined in, and volunteers have included Danica Carney of Scruplz Hair & Nails, Jessica Kinsella of Pistachio Hair Studio, Jenny Moreno of Haim LTD Salon, as well as the owner of Tangles Salon: A Chadwick Studio, Lindi Chadwick.

Salon Professionals are still needed to help staff Evolution on a volunteer basis, for a day, or even if only for a few hours. Estheticians, Manicurists and Eyebrow Threaders are also welcome and needed.

McCready says that her first hope was to have stylists on site at least two days a week, and it’s come true. Evolution has been staffed two days a week, since the first week in December, thanks to the selfless efforts of local stylists.

“I had hoped,” says McCready, “that we would be able to make a change in someone’s life-but did not expect the change to echo so strongly in mine. I am truly humbled by the response of the salon community here.”

Hair Color has proven to be an amazing factor for the women of Serenity House-and McCready is currently looking for a professional product line or company to sponsor them fully.

Currently the only thing the women pay for is the cost of a tube of color, and McCready has been taking care of going back and forth to the beauty supply stores to get it for them.

“I’ve even had a special bracelet designed,” says McCready, “that has an “e” on it, and am using it to raise money to get more items, especially hair color, for the salon.”

McCready and other local stylists plan to spend Christmas Day at Serenity House handing out small bags of hair care products and accessories that have been donated to them.

“I have a new hope now,” says McCready, “that maybe one day I can do this full time, and start a program that brings salon services into other facilities. That’s all I want for Christmas!”

The Evolution Mission Statement:

By Volunteering in the Evolution Salon, we shall help the residents of NC Serentiy House and the people in their lives evolve mentally, physically and spiritually into the people they were always meant to be.

Through love, care, and education we hope to set an example of what the Salon Industry can do for them, and inspire them to keep going in the long journey of recovery.

Many of us have experienced drug or alcohol addiction in our lives.

Whether it is personal, or a family member, friend, or co-worker, it is a life altering problem that affects an estimated 25 million Americans directly and 40 million indirectly.

The drop in self esteem that most women experience is significant when they become alcoholics or addicts, and learning that they are beautiful, important members of our society who are worth OUR CARE AND SELF CARE is crucial in their recovery. Let’s step up and put our hands out-and create beauty for those who think they have lost it.

Throughout the Inca Empire, people at all levels of society wore the same style of garments, but the cloth from which these garments were made revealed the wearers’ wealth and origins. In the warm coastal lowlands, the Incas preferred cotton clothing, which kept their bodies cool. Inhabitants of the colder mountain regions wore clothes made of alpaca or llama wool. On their feet the Incas wore grass shoes or llama leather sandals bound with brightly colored wool fastenings.

The Inca government supplied some clothing to its subjects: couples were given new garments from the official warehouses when they married, and older people without families received enough clothing to survive.

Inca men wore a loincloth, a long strip of cloth that went through the legs and wrapped around the waist to secure like a belt. In hot weather they wore this alone. On top, men wore a sleeveless, knee-length tunic made from one piece of cloth, with a slit cut through the middle to make space for the head.The waistlines of Inca tunics were often decorated with tocapus, which revealed information about the wearer, such as his wealth, birthplace, or status. Men also wore embroidered sashes around the waist. In cold weather and on formal occasions, men wore a loose cloak over a tunic, tying its two corners in front, at the neck. Instead of using pockets, men carried their tools, amulets, and coca leaves in small bags. ]]> http://mybeautifulbelly.net/2010/02/the-incas-preferred-cotton-clothing/feed/ 0 http://mybeautifulbelly.net/2010/01/the-beauty-of-working-online/ http://mybeautifulbelly.net/2010/01/the-beauty-of-working-online/#comments Sat, 02 Jan 2010 22:02:57 +0000 admin http://mybeautifulbelly.net/?p=30 Do you want this to be a full-time or a part-time endeavor? The options are wide open. Many online businesses are ideal for extra income to leverage your regular salary and make the budget of daily life easier to manage. The beauty of working online is that it’s sustainable without having to quit your regular job if you don’t want to. The point is that you should allocate in your business plan how much time you are willing to spend on the venture, and then you can decide which online businesses fit with the time you are willing to invest.

Would you prefer to work out of your home or have an outside office? Where you work is important too. For many, a major benefit of having an online business is the luxury of working from home. Another advantage is to work while you travel or from remote areas. Not all online businesses guarantee complete mobility and staying home, but you can decide on these critical lifestyle options before choosing which specific online avenue to pursue. It’s all up to you—for a change.

If you already have a physical “bricks-and-mortar” business location, do you want to use the Web as a marketing outlet? There are many ways to run a successful online business. Traditional storefronts and catalogues can be mirrored on the Web site, which expands the sales capacity significantly, but you must make sure that there is enough inventory and internal organization to accept, fill, and deliver incoming orders. The other option if you have an existing bricks-and-mortar setup is to use the Web site as a responsive marketing force and information source for your business. The design and content should urge customers to come to your location and return to your site.
