Earth & More Day: The Heartbeat of a Planet United

Austin Tang — Mon, 23 Mar 2026 16:29:48 +0000

March 23, 2026 by Jodi Marxbury

On April 22, the crossroads of the world transforms into something far more meaningful than a destination—it becomes a message. Under the vision and passion of Paul Sladkus, Earth & More Day rises in Times Square as a powerful reminder that the planet’s future is not just discussed, but felt.

This is not just another Earth Day gathering. It is a living expression of unity, where music, art, and activism come together in one of the most iconic places on Earth. The energy of Times Square shifts from spectacle to substance, as voices from every corner of the globe echo with purpose.

Artists take the stage not just to perform, but to inspire. Speakers share not just words, but urgency. And the crowd—diverse, vibrant, and engaged—becomes part of something larger than themselves. In that moment, the noise of the city becomes a chorus for change.

Paul Sladkus has created more than an event—he has created a movement. Earth & More Day stands as proof that awareness can be elevated through creativity, and that even in a world filled with distraction, there is still space for meaning.

In the shadow of towering billboards and flashing lights, something real happens. People listen. People feel. People connect.

And for a few powerful hours, Times Square is no longer just the center of the world—it is the conscience of it.

WHEN YOUR WORK FAMILY IS YOUR SUPPORT AWAY FROM HOME WHAT HAPPENS WHEN YOU ARE FACING A SERIOUS ILLNESS?

Austin Tang — Mon, 09 Dec 2019 15:55:58 +0000

http://goodnewsplanet.com/wp-content/uploads/2019/12/rebecca_kathy_1.mp3
For many, work is more than a paycheck. The average full-time American employee works over 40 hours a week at work, so it comes as little surprise that a majority of employees (56%) report spending more time with their “work family” than they do at home. One survey, which sampled 1,000 full-time office workers ages 18-65, found that having a familial relationship with co-workers boosts productivity and feelings of well-being in the workplace.

Another critical element of having a “work family” is they can be a support system if you or someone you love develops a chronic disease, such as cancer. How can co-workers lend the most effective and meaningful support without being intrusive?

Creating an inclusive and positive environment for an employee coping with a serious medical condition is essential to the overall well-being of a workplace, but coworkers and employers need guidance. On December 4th, Kathy Flora and Rebecca Nellis discuss findings in a recent survey commissioned by Cancer and Careers that explored the experiences of 1,000 US working adults, employed full-time, who work or have worked with someone being treated for a serious condition. They will explain how workplaces can evolve to support and accommodate people juggling work and diagnosis, the importance of fostering a positive and supportive work environment, and the key roles managers and supervisors can play. Some survey highlights include:

• 88% of working adults have concerns about their ability to support a co-worker with a serious and/or chronic medical condition

• Of those who currently work/have worked with someone diagnosed with cancer, 90% have concerns about offering support

• 59% of working adults are not confident that their managers and supervisors know how to support an employee with a serious and/or chronic medical condition

• 89% of workers think management could have done more to be supportive of their co-worker with a serious and/or chronic medical condition

Selina Maitreya, Bringing Purpose to Being and Spirit to Living

admin — Wed, 28 May 2014 15:53:23 +0000

Selina Teaches
In a previous and parallel life, Selina Maitreya was and is a highly regarded consultant to commercial photographers worldwide. A published author of 2 best-selling books and global lecturer, Selina has for the past 30+ years guided Creatives to form deeper vision and refine their inner spirit.
Prior to and concurrent to her coaching career for the last 30 + years, Selina has been a spiritual student studying many philosophies, and spiritual practices. Drawn to the simple yet powerful idea that We Are All ONE; that our natural inheritance is LOVE, and that our actions affect not only us but every single energy entity, Selina began to live her life as her practice. Committed to responding from LOVE to life’s many challenges, gifts and experiences, Selina began to live what she now calls: Practical Spirituality. Her life completely shifted and she realized that regardless of external circumstances as she responded to life through one of the many faces of love;kindness, gratitude, grace, compassion, wisdom and tolerance she was creating an existence that was peaceful and abundant, relationships that were rich and meaningful.
In the summer of 2013 Selina experienced a life changing experience that reinforced that the work that she had done to live in LOVE, was truly practical. About to sell her house of 20 years and begin a new life in NYC, Selina’s car was hit by another. Due to the automobile event, Selina was left severely impaired and brain damaged, unable to walk in her life for several months. Not knowing how she was to move into a new life or earn a living Selina continued to feel blessed, and was never concerned for her fate. She was unable to hold conversation or use her brain for tasks, yet she was left in a position where constant meditation and rest were required. During this time she was visited continuously by Spirit. Messages were downloaded daily and she was informed that her life was shifted forever. She was told that her lifelong role as “Teacher” was about to take another turn. Knowing that her practice of responding to all from LOVE , was the reason for her total certainty and lack of striving during a hugely life changing event, Selina became committed then and there to being a spiritual teacher helping others to respond to life as love, as they build lives guided by PRACTICAL SPIRITUALITY.
Selina lives in NYC and would be honored to assist you and share with you how Practical, Spirituality can truly be.

Mission
I am very grateful to have the honor of fulfilling my father’s prophesy in 1944 at the Swiss border when the Nazis were chasing us. I was 4 years old and when he threw me over the barbed wire fence he said, “Save my daughter and she will serve you forever.” It has been a painful, tiring yet inspirational journey in reaching my goal to have a deeper understanding of myself, my purpose in life, in relationship to the world around me. One thing I always hung on to were my father’s words of serving, so I “hung out” with God, asked for guidance, tried to have patience and faith which gave me hope and wisdom to understand that everything is in divine time. You are my voice of hope on earth to ensure that no human being goes to bed hungry, has a warm bed to sleep in, medicine, education, a fruitful and meaningful life, and a way to peace – in a peaceful way. Together, and with God’s blessings…everything is possible.
