Natural Solutions Foundation Volunteers

Hi, I know these are busy times and I hope that they are happy ones for each of you. I want you to know that the Wednesday night Volunteer Calls do not have to conflict with your busy schedules. If people would appreciate having one less thing on their calendars, these discussions can be put on hold until after the holidays. I would appreciate hearing from you if that works for you or hearing from you if it does not. If we do not hear from folks that they really do want to continue a VotM Volunteers' Call in order to move forward with Volunteer plans, opportunities, etc., we will put them, as I said above, on hold. If, on the other hand, you do want the calls to continue, please let the group know. And again, happy holidays! Yours in health and freedom, Dr. Rima

Hi there - If the Wed call is abandoned, as was the Mon call, that leaves us guys and gals no calls at all. Today I was asked, for the first time, what is probably the most annoying question of the year, "Are you ready for the holidays?" My response? "What holidays?" Give me a holy day any day. This, of all seasons, is THE time to concentrate on not getting caught up in hype and hoopla, relax and enjoy the company of friends and family, including the NSF gang. I had planned on being on tonight's call but fell asleep and woke up at 9 pm (11 est). Oops. If all the calls are gone, how are we going to know (in real time) what's going on in Panama? How can we survive without Rima's infectious enthusiasm? I think the Wednesday calls should continue and the Monday conversations be ressurected, even if only for 10 or 15 minutes, to fill us all (however few of us there may be) in on what's happening. It isn't our only line of communication but it is the most concise, to the point one available. - jeff

Yes, putting the calls on hold works with my schedule, though I will miss talking with you all. Unfortunately, this time of year does bring an added busyness even if we try to keep life simple and focused on what is most important. Thanks, Dr. Rima, for recommending Dr. Colwell's seminar. If anyone hasn't read his new book, "The Only Answer To Cancer," I would strongly recommend it. The info is a 180 from what we have learned and thought to understand about cancer. This book could save your life or the life of a loved. Have a wonderful and blessed holiday season. To all volunteers that are in sunny Panama, we wish we were there. Enjoy! CA

We put the calls on hold because for several weeks, Ralph and I were the only people on the calls. My infectious enthusiasm continues, but, frankly, to commit the time there has to be interest on the other end. The purpose of the Monday night call is for those who already have made a commitment to the Valley of the Moon Community through a whole or partial Beneficial Interest Certificate to participate in governance so it is only open to those folks. The Wednesday night call is for people interested in volunteering at the Valley of the Moon or finding out more about that. If you let me know that the call is of interest to you, we will take it up again in 2010. Otherwise, the time commitment is not a good use of time since Ralph and I talk several times a day anyway. So let me know if this is something you want to continue. Yours in health and freedom, Dr. Rima
