I've added a free widget to my blog on the left. It comes from BlogRush, which is a revolutionary free blog syndication network created by internet marketing legend John Reese and his new company income.com. What it does is serve up relevant content from other blogs in the content network.

So it will send people to your blog who are already interested in the type of information in your blog.

So how does it bring you more traffic? Each time your page loads, the widget also loads, which earns you a syndication credit. If your blog gets 100 page views a day then you get 100 syndication credits.

The powerful viral twist (and what makes it different from anything else, say BlogBurst) is that when other people join BlogRush (via the tab on the bottom of the widget) and add the widget to their blog, then you will get page views of your content proportional to the page views of their blog.

If Fred signs up and puts the widget on his blog then each time that his blog shows the widget, one of your posts will show somewhere on the network. It gets even better, because if Sally joins from Fred's blog, you'll also get a syndication credit for every time that that the widget is displayed on Sally's blog. This scenario keeps going for 10 referrals deep.

If it takes off, then those who put it on their blogs early stand to get a lot of traffic. That's why I recommend that you get BlogRush right away and add it to your blog.

And so,

while surfers do their seeking
and engines rank their searching,
and servers do their serving
and clicks of mice, some once some twice
cause ebooks to downloading

I spend my days in simple ways
to live a life worth living:


"I find a place of constant sun
and simply lie there baking..."

Now here's something I don't believe I've seen before....While sitting in the noon-day sun soaking in the rays at a favorite hideaway on island, I look up and see a rainbow 'round the sun!


The unique mix of clouds and moisture and whatever else created a "not your typical rainbow" right above my head--one that formed a ring around the blazing sun...pretty cool...Hope you can make out the ring in the picture....

"Or roam a while this desert isle
like Hanks, Crusoe or Perrineau"


Then yesterday, while sunning again near Wing Beach, I look around and realize (and this isn't the first time I've noticed this) that because of the population and lifestyle here on Saipan, it's not unusual to be on certain beaches on a given day for hours at a time, and not run into a single soul. You can almost convince yourself you're all alone on a deserted island, evoking images from Castaway, that movie with Tom Hanks....




"Or better still, enjoy the thrill
with others of my choosing"

But, of course, there are people on the island...so, one could venture inland, and return later to enjoy the tranquility and treasures with someone you enjoy being with.

So today I harvested my first batch of wheat grass grown from seeds I had flown in from Guam, and nurtured in my own apartment. Being the health nut that I am, while I was living in New York, I would often drink shots of wheat grass bought at health food stores on Broadway or in the village. Now that I'm on Saipan, there aren't many stores selling wheat grass.

For those of you who have no idea what I'm talking about, you can check out

for a great overview...

Here are a few excerpts from different pages:
Wheatgrass is fast becoming one of the most widely used supplemental health foods. It contains chlorophyll (nature's most health promoting nutrient), 20 amino acids, several hundred different enzymes not found in other foods, as many as 90 out of 102 possible minerals, vitamins and other important nutrients. It is perfect for dieters, athletes, people on the go, who want to maintain a healthy immune system, or simply anyone who wants to feel GREAT.

Science has proven that chlorophyll arrests growth and development of unfriendly bacteria.

Chlorophyll (wheatgrass) rebuilds the bloodstream. Studies of various animals have shown chlorophyll to be free of any toxic reaction. The red cell count was returned to normal within 4 to 5 days of the administration of chlorophyll, even in those animals which were known to be extremely anemic or low in red cell count.

Farmers in the Midwest who have sterile cows and bulls put them on wheatgrass to restore fertility. (The high magnesium content in chlorophyll builds enzymes that restore the sex hormones.)

Chlorophyll can be extracted from many plants, but wheatgrass is superior because it has been found to have over 100 elements needed by man. If grown in organic soil, it absorbs 92 of the known 102 minerals from the soil.

Wheatgrass has what is called the grass-juice factor, which has been shown to keep herbivorous animals alive indefinitely.

Dr. Ann Wigmore has been helping people get well from chronic disorders for 30 years using wheatgrass.

Liquid chlorophyll gets into the tissues, refines them and makes them over.



Since I don't have a juicer yet, I just cut a handful and ate it directly...
I'll be ordering a juicer this week, and who knows, you may see me out at the Sabulu market selling shots of wheatgrass!
