&lt;p&gt;      Dear Friendz, 

Everyday, the 2.5 million people chased from their homes in Darfur face the threat of starvation, disease, and rape, while the few lucky enough to remain in their homes risk displacement, torture, and murder. 

We must continue to do all we can.

Would you join me in calling on President Bush and UN Secretary General Kofi Annan to do more?

Visit http://www.savedarfur.org to do so.

Thank you,
Diana 

Take action now at

 &lt;/p&gt;

&lt;p&gt;      &lt;p&gt;Hello Kind Zaadz Friends - &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Recently, my coach and I did some work on my &amp;quot;game&amp;quot; in life (aka purpose, calling, why I&amp;#39;m here on Earth) and it became clear that I&amp;#39;ve beeen playing way too small a game, which is called coaching!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My real game in life, the thing that truly lights me up, is &lt;em&gt;Saving the World!&lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;That&amp;#39;s why I&amp;#39;m attracted to Zaadz, that&amp;#39;s why I study&amp;nbsp;Spiral Dynamics and that&amp;#39;s why I became a coach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;I&amp;nbsp;am a coach because I &lt;em&gt;believe Coaching can Save the World. &lt;/em&gt;&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;But being a coach is not all that I&amp;#39;m here to do. I am an evangelizer for coaching, because I know how powerful it is.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;You may not agree with me. You may even believe that the world doesn&amp;#39;t need saving, but I have unique gifts that only I can share with the world and those gifts are needed in order for the world to reach its highest potential in the coming years and I express these gifts through coaching and through teaching others to become masterful coaches. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;And I&amp;#39;ve watched my clients and the clients of my students become transformed. This transformation not only makes the impossible possible, it is &lt;u&gt;infectious&lt;/u&gt;! A ripple effect happens and many more people benefit and are inspired when one person is masterfully coached. Awareness is spontaneously raised. It&amp;#39;s like&amp;nbsp;a chain reaction.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;These people go on and BE and DO things that make the world better for people and make people better for the world. If&amp;nbsp;the world is&amp;nbsp;in trouble, then this is one extraordinary tool for creating solutions!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;How can you help? Please help spread the message that coaching can save the world. Tell the wonderful people that you know, who have so much to give, but may not know how, that they can be helped to be and do and give (and have) far more by working with a coach. &lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Tell people who have a desire to help others that they will be able to do so much more powerfully when they know how to coach.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;If you help light up even one person who wants to know more about coaching, there is lots of info on the web for them, but it can be confusing and overwhelming. If they need someone to talk to, I can help them. Please send them to &lt;a href="http://juliastewart.zaadz.com/"&gt;http://juliastewart.zaadz.com/&lt;/a&gt; or to my pod,&amp;nbsp;&lt;a href="http://pods.zaadz.com/greatness_goals_wellness_self_care_change_the_world_coaching_body_mind_spirit"&gt;RADICAL Self Care&lt;/a&gt;. I have powerful tools and I know where they can find more - and many of these tools are free.&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;My purpose in life is to spread the value of coaching to millions of people and thereby transform the world. Please help by emailing this post&amp;nbsp;to anyone who needs to&amp;nbsp;read it!&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;Thank you so much!! XO&lt;/p&gt;&lt;p&gt;take great care, Julia &lt;/p&gt; &lt;/p&gt;

Well, Japan has continued to slaughter whales through a loophole in  the global agreement that permits killing in name of &amp;ldquo;scientific research.&amp;rdquo; And  while legitimate scientists agree that there&amp;#39;s no need to kill whales in order  to study them, it appears the killing of whales for &amp;ldquo;science&amp;rdquo; in Japan is really  a commercial hunt in disguise. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://go.care2.com/e/kC2/k7/DxN_"&gt;Take action!&lt;/a&gt;  &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Japanese whalers have been selling meat from their &amp;ldquo;research&amp;rdquo; to  supermarkets, gourmet restaurants, even fast-food chains and school cafeterias  where whale burgers have become the latest trend. &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;What&amp;#39;s worse, the  manner in which these magnificent creatures are murdered is truly horrific;  often they are harpooned with explosive tips and then dragged arduously onto  whale ships. And now Japan is increasing the slaughter: doubling the number of  whales to be killed in an international marine mammal sanctuary.&lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://go.care2.com/e/kC2/k7/DxN_"&gt;Sign the petition now to end whaling in  Japan.&lt;/a&gt; &lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;strong&gt;Unless they are stopped now, Japan will launch a  return to full-scale industrial whaling; the last of which once drove whales to  the brink of extinction. Only the tremendous resources and clout of the United  States has a chance to stop Japan from destroying the world&amp;#39;s  whales.&lt;/strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Please take a moment to protect these amazing beings of the  deep. &lt;strong&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;a href="http://go.care2.com/e/kC2/k7/DxN_"&gt;Sign the petition  asking President Bush to oppose Japan&amp;#39;s bid for permanent membership to the  United Nations Security Council until they comply with international laws  protecting whales.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;/a&gt;&lt;/strong&gt;Thanks for your help today.&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;Lauren  Alvarez,&lt;br /&gt;Care2 and ThePetitionSite Team &lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt;&lt;br /&gt; &lt;/font&gt;&lt;hr /&gt; &lt;font face="Arial, Verdana, sans-serif" size="2"&gt;&lt;font size="2"&gt;Thank you for signing up to receive Action Alerts from Care2 via  ThePetitionSite!
