That means <strong>2026 is not the year to slow down</strong>. It is the year to <strong>push together</strong>.</p>
<p class="yiv2445493013default">Systemic change is essential. But systems move only when enough people send the same signal, repeatedly, until markets shift and political courage follows.

<p class="yiv2445493013default">The fastest way to turn concern into impact is to measure your carbon footprint. It takes <strong>five minutes</strong>. It shows where your choices matter most. And it puts you inside a growing collective signal.</p>
<p class="yiv2445493013default">Already, <strong>2 million people</strong> have taken this step using our partner ClimateHero’s calculator. Together, they have pledged to cut <strong>nearly 3.8 million tonnes of CO₂ every year</strong>, the equivalent of removing <strong>2.5 million diesel cars</strong> from the road.</p>
<p class="yiv2445493013default">This is not symbolic.<br />

This is how change becomes unstoppable.</p>

<p class="paragraph-spacing-none"><strong>Dear Friends and Members,</strong></p>
<p><strong>The “Thought for the Day” was submitted by Aisha Cahn in a wonderful, caring WhatsApp group of kind people. These young children holding up a slipper and laughing and playing with no shoes, but with each other, are happy and sad at the same time, for me.  While we see the simplicity in playing with a slipper or a rock or a tree branch, we also see the sadness that the children don’t have a phone camera to take that picture that they can keep forever with our new technology…on the other hand our memory, our smells, our love, our energy at any given moment is strongest and can’t be captured with a camera, or AI.  </strong></p>
<p><strong>Let’s share and applaud these children&#8217;s happiness in this photo and pray they do get a camera to communicate with the world or use as a safety device. There is more than enough for everyone on MOTHER EARTH TO HAVE A PHONE, TO HAVE A MEAL, AND TO HAVE A ROOF OVER THEIR HEAD, CLEAN WATER AND MORE&#8230;</strong></p>
<p><strong>LET’S ORGANIZE AS ONE WORLD FOR ALL, as that is what we are, ONE WORLD.</strong></p>
<p><a href="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/world_1.jpg"><img loading="lazy" decoding="async" class="size-full wp-image-87581 aligncenter" src="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/world_1.jpg" alt="" width="771" height="405" srcset="https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/world_1.jpg 771w, https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/world_1-300x158.jpg 300w, https://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2025/07/world_1-768x403.jpg 768w" sizes="auto, (max-width: 771px) 100vw, 771px" /></a></p>
<p style="text-align: center;"><strong>BLUE MARBLE: NOW HALF A CENTURY AND HOW CLIMATE CHANGE HAS ALTERED MOTHER EARTH</strong></p>
<p><strong>Spending time with each other can be the best. I worked on the Captain Kangaroo Show, and at the end of each show, he would say, “Spend time with your Children.” This simple statement is a BIG STATEMENT…THINK AND ACT ON IT….IF YOU HAVE NO CHILDREN, SPEND SOME TIME WITH YOURSELF, BE YOUR CHILD! As some say, we are ALL GOD’S CHILDREN. </strong></p>

There’s laughter, togetherness, zero expecations and zero complaints.  A powerful reminder: Happiness is not found in what we own, but in how we see the world and most importantly ourselves!  In our constant chase for success, upgrades, and recognition, we often forget the simplicity of being content and happy.  These kids — with nothing — reminded me of everything that really matters!  Not every lesson comes from a boardroom, a billionare or a guru&#8230;  Some just come barefoot, and smiling <img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2764.png" alt="❤" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f64f.png" alt="🙏" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /></p>

					<description><![CDATA[<p>Every human being needs food. Without it, nothing else matters — not your religion, job, education, money, or award. Let’s do the math of survival: 🍽 Minimum Food Cost in the USA: $30/day × 365 days = $10,950/year Lifespan: 98 years → $10,950 × 98 = $1,073,100 per person JUST FOR FOOD. Now multiply this &#8230;</p>

<div><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f37d.png" alt="🍽" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Minimum Food Cost in the USA:</div>
<div>$30/day × 365 days = $10,950/year</div>
<div>Lifespan: 98 years →</div>
<div>$10,950 × 98 = $1,073,100 per person JUST FOR FOOD.</div>
<div>Now multiply this by:</div>
<div><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f476.png" alt="👶" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> 8 Billion people = $8.5 Quadrillion needed</div>
<div>JUST to feed the world from birth to death.</div>
<div><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/2757.png" alt="❗" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" />Not for luxury. Not for travel.</div>
<div>Just for the right to live — to eat.</div>
<div>And yet&#8230; leaders spent trillions on:</div>
<div>Bombs</div>
<div>Space races</div>
<div>Nuclear weapons</div>
<div>Golden statues</div>
<div>Religious buildings</div>
<div>Personal jets</div>
<div>Award ceremonies</div>
<div>But NOT on the only thing that keeps a human being alive — FOOD.</div>
<div><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f4a3.png" alt="💣" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> Two words — God and Freedom — caused more war, greed, division, and destruction than any other.</div>
<div><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f33e.png" alt="🌾" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> And still, there’s no food security. No soil protection. No dignity in daily survival.</div>
<div><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f9ec.png" alt="🧬" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> If you&#8217;re a leader, parent, teacher, or spiritual guide and you haven’t done this math —</div>
<div>You’re leading people into darkness.</div>
<div>This is not about politics.</div>
<div>This is about your own children. Your own plate. Your own future.</div>
<div><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f6d1.png" alt="🛑" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> STOP worshipping titles.</div>
<div><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f7e2.png" alt="🟢" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> START honoring truth.</div>
<div>Let’s build a world where no one begs to eat — and where God and Freedom are not sold like commodities while humanity starves.</div>
<div>— Shared by one who sees the system from inside-out.</div>
<div><img src="https://s.w.org/images/core/emoji/17.0.2/72x72/1f30d.png" alt="🌍" class="wp-smiley" style="height: 1em; max-height: 1em;" /> #TruthBillionCode #NeurologicalReset #FoodIsTheFirstRight #GodVsGreed #FreedomWithoutFoodIsFraud</div>

A year of growth, health, prosperity and peace. May you and your loved ones be sealed in a book filled with Honey and all that is sweet. שנה טובה ומתוקה</p>

<p>&#8220;Gray Matters invites readers to reexamine what they think they know about growing old. Offering succinct close readings of richly diverse cultural texts, Lem’s book presents literature as a resource for dealing with the practical and existential concerns of aging. With its interdisciplinary grounding in age studies theory and sociological data, Gray Matters is itself a valuable resource for readers ready to reorient their view of later life.&#8221;</p>
<p>——<em> Erin Lamb, co-editor of Research Methods in Health Humanities</em></p>
<p>Aging is one of the most compelling issues today, with record numbers of seniors over sixty-five worldwide! Gray Matters: Finding Meaning in the Stories of Later Life examines a diverse array of cultural works including films, literature, and even art that represent this time of life, often made by people who are seniors themselves from all walks of life from the rich and famous to the everyday person in our towns and neighborhoods.</p>
<p>Ellyn has been on multiple programs such as &#8220;The Morning Blend&#8221; (TMJ4TV &#8211; Milwaukee), and she can speak on topics focused on aging such as:</p>
<p>· How people&#8217;s personal stories of aging connect with writers&#8217; portrayals<br />
· Senior parents and their adult children<br />
· Housing options<br />
· Memory Loss<br />
· Intimacy<br />
· Men and Women (Differences and Similarities)<br />
· Money, Work and Retirement<br />
· Dealing with the challenges of social isolation during COVID19.</p>
<p>This thought provoking analysis is certain to challenge your audience&#8217;s perceptions on aging, as Professor Lem engages in dialogue with others on the recent research exploring how “stories” illuminate the dynamics of growing old by blending fact with imagination. GRAY MATTERS: Finding Meaning In The Stories of Later Life (Rutgers University Press; Paperback; August 15, 2020; $29.95; 978-1-1978-80631-3) will shine light on the fascinating real life experiences of seniors gathered from over two hundred in-depth surveys with a range of questions on growing old, not often included in other age studies works.</p>
<p>Gray Matters combines cultural texts, gerontology research, and observations from older adults that will give all readers a fuller picture of the struggles and pleasures of aging and avoids over-simplified representations of the process as all negative or positive.</p>
<p>“Creative, wide-ranging and well-written, Gray Matters offers a many-sided, complex understanding of late-life. It demonstrates that this period of our lives interweaves our past and present, takes grit, and offers opportunities for positive experiences. For some, learning becomes more enjoyable, as the phrase ‘senior college’ indicates. Gray Matters also skillfully shows that aging occurs in a social context, a fact often overlooked when the process is understood as solely an individual matter.”<br />
—— <em>Margaret Cruikshank, from the foreword</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Gray Matters invites readers to reexamine what they think they know about growing old. Offering succinct close readings of richly diverse cultural texts, Lem’s book presents literature as a resource for dealing with the practical and existential concerns of aging. With its interdisciplinary grounding in age studies theory and sociological data, Gray Matters is itself a valuable resource for readers ready to reorient their view of later life.&#8221;<br />
—— <em>Erin Lamb, co-editor of Research Methods in Health Humanities</em></p>
<p>&#8220;Lem draws examples from literature, film, television, and a survey of older people to support a wide-ranging and accessible examination of contemporary culture. Especially helpful to those who are new to the field, this book is a welcome addition to age-studies scholarship.&#8221;<br />
—— Valerie Lipscomb, author of Performing Age in Modern Drama &#8211;This text refers to the hardcover edition.</p>
<p>&#8220;Ellyn Lem’s research wasn’t just from gerontology— she surveyed over 200 real people over the ages of 65&#8230;. making the experience of reading this book heartfelt and personal. Census facts were fascinating as well. Added pleasures for book lovers, screen lovers of movies, Netflix, Hulu, HBO, Showtime, Amazon Prime, and other network watchers, will be smiling! There are so many fun tidbits and commentaries from literature, film, and television: many favorite authors, books, and screen entertainment is explored and examined throughout!<br />
I found it exciting to read about books &amp; authors I’ve read -and exciting to learn about books, authors, shows, I’ve missed &#8211; but now must add to my desire to read &amp; watch lists.&#8221;<br />

Leslie &#038; David Shippy on their book- Money Matters for Financial Freedom. </p>
<p>In their latest book Leslie &#038; David Shippy can speak to how they both quit their ‘day-jobs’ in corporate America in less than 5 years and developed a “Millionaire Mindset” and multiple streams of income to become mega successful multi-millionaires! Leslie used the technique of positive energy, visualization, creativity and innovation and so did her husband. See below.</p>
<p>Leslie &#038; David Shippy in their hit new book Money Matters for Financial Freedom provide a  ‘how to” on developing other income streams so that you can replace your ‘day job’ within 3-5 years (as they did). </p>
<p>There are valuable lesions on developing:</p>
<p>A “Millionaire Mindset”</p>
<p>Finding Your One Thing for Financial Freedom, </p>
<p>Build Winning Relationships </p>
<p>Developing a Network of Coaches/Mentors/Attending Seminars/Webinars/Becoming an Expert on Your Subject </p>
<p>Create Massive Goals/Take Massive Actions, </p>
<p>Exercise Innovation &#038; Creativity</p>
<p>Channeling Positive Vibrations &#038; Energy </p>
<p>Roadmap to Achieving this freedom by Creating Multiple Business Streams of Income.</p>
<p>New Book Reveals How To Achieve Financial Freedom Within 5 Years!</p>
<p>Even a successful couple earning six-figure annual incomes don’t have true financial freedom.  David and Leslie Shippy went from being a middle-class couple to obtaining financial freedom in just a few short years.  Leaving their day jobs behind and leaving corporate America to live their dreams, the Shippys uncovered the secret to wealth – and now want to give back and teach it to others with their new book, Money Matters for Financial Freedom The Fast Path to Abundance in Life and Business (Morgan James Publishing, $17.95, Trade Paper, ISBN:  978-1-64279-089-4, April, 2019).</p>
<p>The Shippys pursued their wealth through real estate and currently manage a portfolio of apartments that consist of over 3,000 units and is worth over $350 million.  Money Matters for Financial Freedom reveals the principles they used to make that leap to wild success happen.</p>
<p>“With the right mindset, goals, and actions, you can achieve anything – including financial freedom in less than five years,” asserts Leslie, who used to be a social worker.<br />
“When opportunity keeps knocking, you need to open the door.  I believe that what you focus on is what you bring into your life.  If you focus on limitations and hardship, then you get more of that.  If you focus on financial freedom, you will bring that into your life.”</p>
<p>Prior to striking it rich, David honed his leadership and entrepreneur skills in his engineering career.  At IBM, he led an international team of 250 engineers that created the microprocessor technology in Xbox 360 and PlayStation 3.  At a small tech start-up he led over 100 engineers develop the micro-processor technology in the iPhone and iPad. But it wasn’t until he invested in real estate did he find the peace of mind that comes with wealth.</p>
<p>“This book is about creating successful businesses that generate massive income streams,” claims David.  “We help others understand that with the right mindset, goals, and actions anyone can achieve success.”</p>
<p>Their book teaches:</p>
<p>The fundamental abundance principles and how to commit to excellence.</p>
<p>How to build winning relationships in business.</p>
<p>Ways to take a creative idea and turn it into a reality.</p>
<p>How to set goals, narrow down your mission, and take action.</p>
<p>How to develop a millionaire mindset and focus your thoughts on what will manifest in your life.</p>
<p>How to create habitual positive thoughts by taking a 7-day positive thought and positive word challenge.</p>
<p>“You will learn powerful skills to attract and take action toward the life of your dreams,” adds Leslie.  “You will also learn the importance of developing daily habits to support your financial success.”</p>
<p>The Shippys also:</p>
<p>Teach powerful techniques for creating multiple business streams of income.</p>
<p>Show how one can make it big in real estate – and other industries.</p>
<p>Reveal to readers how to develop daily habits that support financial success.</p>
<p>Share step-by-step examples of how to manage money.</p>
<p>Outline proven techniques and leadership skills necessary for running a multi-million-dollar business.</p>
<p>“Shift your mindset to positive thoughts of abundance,” says Leslie.  “Focus daily on what you are grateful for. Find your passion and purpose for living. Create clear and measurable goals.  Take daily massive action on these goals.”</p>
<p>So how does one get started to reach financial freedom?</p>
<p>“First, pick a small goal that you can achieve in the next three months,” writes David. “For example, this could be taking action on creating a new income stream.  This could be investing in your first real estate deal, writing a book, researching franchise, or investing in a well-planned stock market investment.  Set up a morning routine that supports this goal.  Visualize every day what your life will look like when you complete this one goal.  Spend at least one to two hours a day on this goal.  Soon it will become a habit.  Then, before you know it, three months will pass and you will achieve your first goal.”</p>
