I had been wanting to see the movie Soul Surfer since it came out in theaters and today I finally got the chance to watch it and I'm glad I did.
This film is based off of the true story of how Bethany Hamilton dealt with loosing her arm in a shark attack when she was 13. 

It's beautiful to see someone who has lost something and yet has not lost their spirit, for she knows she is not this body. As you see in the movie through her love of God. Her faith and determination motivated her to get back out in the water and surf again. 

This film is amazingly inspirational as you watch someone over come their fears through persistent passion. It is a great film to gain the feeling of Never Give Up from the heart and not from the ego. 
Feel for yourself at itunes or other movie rental outlets :) 

I also recommend watching this interview or any others with Bethany and the actress who portrayed her, AnnaSophia Robb. 

Happy New Year today is 1-1-11. Today at 12 noon felt like the real celebration to me because at that time Oprah's OWN Network launched! The trailer below is amazing, it has so many Christ Consciousness Codes when viewed today on this 1-1-11 portal. Watch listen and apply to your own life, what would your version of the OWN Network look like?

This was hyping up to be the first channel on cable television to show some actual conscious media. It is a step in the right direction but I wouldn't say there is really anything new or different then what is already on TV. 

Take the shows that will be premiering. 
Master Class will show the stories of inspiration celebrities. 
How is that similar to what's already on the tube? Hello can we say E! True Hollywood story? Enough Already! with Peter Walsh will clean up the clutter and get to the root issue of what has been causing a mess in families homes. Addressing and clearing the emotional cause is what is most needed but this show is very similar to The Style Channel's Clean House. 
Mystery Detectives is a show with two investigators who examine the science of miracles. (uh why isn't Gregg Braden Hosting this?) Once again it reminds me of another show, Ghost Hunters. 


The comparisons can go but the conclusion is, this Network will house some amazing inspiration content all under one channel, yet in a different version of what we have already seen.  If you’re going watch cable TV here are my recommendations for making it as conscious as you can. (Besides the OWN Network, which all in all I do recommend) 

History Channel - Ancient Aliens

PBS - NOVA, Hunting the Hidden Dimension : All about Fractal Geometry 

MTV - The Buried Life : A group of friends travels the country crossing items off their list of what they want to do before they die, while helping others along the way.  

MTV’s - True Life I have a Paranormal Ability : Follows three young people who have the ability to communicate psychically with spirits. This helped me activate and believe in my own ability to do this as well :) 


But like someone at a decompression said to those watching Burning Man TV, "It's still TV"
It can still be a distraction from living your life in this now moment.
