####COMMUNITY BUZZ####

Good Day! How are you doing? I hope that you are absolutely fabulous on this oh so good Thursday. I hope and trust that you are fabulous and fantastic on this Thursday morning…I don’t know what is up with me lately, but this past week have add this sort of strange feeling because it’s like for some reason Monday to me felt like Tuesday and Tuesday felt like a Wednesday and Wednesday was like a Thursday…I feel like I’m living in the future it so weird…now I don’t know if the weather has anything to do with it because generally I’m confused very easily…but I it depends on your week but I still think it flies… Just a reminder that today in fact is the 18th of September 2008…5 things to do on a Thursday so maybe, before the end of today’s show or even during the show because I’m sure you can multi task… you can try it out…so I have five things to do on a Thursday:

* Do something good – even one 50 cents to the man in the street.

* Take a 20 minute unplugged walk. No phone. No ipod. No whatever.

* Do just one thing you’ve WANTED to do for months but have been putting off.
Buy someone else near you a cup of coffee or a soda pop or a beer, and ask them about their future plans.


* Believe in yourself. Close your eyes for a moment, and just BELIEVE that you
matter, that you’re something special. And that it so simple…

Moving onto today’s show we had all the usuals such as you’re Word of the Day, your SA Q&A, you’re Tip of the Day, Did you Knows Job Shop and Information Guide.

We also had interview with:

Today’s interviews were with the public relations officer for the Deaf Community of Cape Town Steven Lombard and he’ll be chatting to us about the organization and how it helps the deaf community at large.
We also spoke to Sandra Warne from Salt – Sharing Abundant Life Together and we just spoke about the organization itself and how it helps clinics with food parcels.

Lastly we featured an interview with Stella Muller and she’s from the Western Cape Staffordshire Bull Terrier Club we just spoke about the club itself and the platform it provides for bull terrier owners and breeders

Word of the Day:

SKULK - To hide, or get out of the way, in a sneaking manner; to lurk

Trivial Question:

Q: Name the Cape Town aquarium which is home to over 3000 living sea animals?
A: The Two Oceans Aquarium

Did You Knows:

The strongest muscle in the body is the tongue… And listen closely to this one… An ostrich's eye is bigger than its brain

Tip of the Day:

I’ve got your tips on ways to have presence…In some spiritual circles, presence and spirit are one in the same. Meditation, contemplation, dance, chant, all seek to connect with something deeper. Presence is the result of getting in contact with your deeper self…

1. You may lie on your back on the floor or otherwise place yourself in a comfortable position. Make sure that nothing will distract you (unplug your phone, close your door, ask people not to disturb you, etc.)

2. Close your eyes and pay attention to your breath. Allow your breath to fall in and out of you, unobstructed. Notice any place where your breath begins to catch. Allow your breath to touch that place until it opens and relaxes.

3. Be sure not to judge your observations. Allow yourself to be in the state you are in. Also know that your state is flexible and can change.

4. Move your attention to your facial muscles.

5. Concentrate on any tension in your face and take a deep breath in. Imagine that you are delivering all of the oxygen from your breath straight to the point on your face that is tense.

6. Continue until your entire face and neck are relaxed. You should feel your sinuses open up and your circulation become better (your may feel more warmth or tingling in your skin). Your expression may feel very different. Do not judge yourself, just notice what you notice.

7. Take the time to do this throughout your entire body. Allow each point of tension to be filled with your breath. Allow these places to open and relax. Pay close attention to the state of your body as this tells you a lot about how you move through the world.

8. After you are done, go over to a mirror and look at yourself. You may be shocked because you look a little different. Do not do anything, just observe how you have changed.

9. After the mirror, try talking to someone you know. They may comment that you look a little different. Your voice may sound different as well. You may seem more confident, more calm. Don't let this disturb you. If you feel the tension creeping back, take a deep, silent breath and release the tension again.

10. While you are talking to your friend or family member, allow yourself to be expressive with your face as well as your body, but don't get stuck in an expression.

11. After you have mastered talking to people close to you, maintain your presence when walking around school, work, or outside. People may comment that you look a little different. Do not be discouraged.

12. When you walk down the street, try to make eye contact with strangers. Don't force yourself to react in a particular way, just allow an expression to move through your body. Check in afterwards, did your smile stick? Did the tension return to your face or body? Practice this until you remain relaxed when you greet strangers.

13. In all situations, it is important to maintain your presence. If you have anxiety or fear, acknowledge it and allow yourself to move through it. Turn your focus to your breath and breathe out any tension.

Quote of the Day:

Carl Jung - Where love rules, there is no will to power; and where power predominates, there love is lacking. The one is the shadow of the other
