The Lifelong Activist: How to Change the World Without Losing Your Way
$19.95
This is one of my favorite guides for crafting a sustainable lifestyle. Rettig's insight and understanding are strong, and her solutions are solid, not gimmicky. She has coached hundreds of entrepreneurs and she applies her insightful expertise to the world of activism.

Rettig's goal is to teach activists to live according to their values, to create a career worth fighting for. She wants activists to hang in there, doing good work for the long haul. This means avoiding burnout. She asks probing questions and provides very practical strategies (i. e., sections explaining "Don't start a business simply as a way of earning a living," and "Don't start a nonprofit organization unless it's a necessary strategy for advancing your cause.")

I plan to reread this book as a New Year's resolution. I work with mothers, artists, and activists, and all of those groups will experience resonance with Rettig's writing. How can you give without giving yourself away? How can you be a truly creative person without judging yourself too harshly? And how can creative, giving types deal with real-world needs to manage their time effectively?

This is one of those books that reminds me how much value is jam-packed in a product that costs less than $20. The Lifelong Activist contains thoughtful, skilled advice, and an excellent annotated bibliography that pointed me to other helpful books. Highly recommended for entrepreneurs, activists, artists, parents--any person looking to craft a holistic life that expresses their true mission and values.

Lyrical Activism
$7.99
"Speaking from experience, this is not an incident, memories are pastlife, times as I channel in, works is from dimensions that I visit time travellin, ancient techniques, lyrics start happenin'". Man, this is an amazing album. The quote above is the startoff lyrics to the song, "Architects of Reality," my favorite song on the album. This San Francisco rapper, A.P.O.S.T.L.E. is the most amazing lyrical rapper you haven't heard of. His music is just refreshing harlem-renaissance-like Hip Hop all over again. You can tell by some of his influences such as Boogie Down Productions, Poor Righteous Teachers, Eric B & Rakim and Public Enemy that he is all about real hip-hop.

You need to buy this album...there are so many great tracks: "Promised Land", "Something I Must Do" and "We Are One". I am so excited about Hip-Hop like this; I can listen to it all day.

This is a nice album
