Dear Friends and Readers: On those afternoons when we've had just about enough of endless meetings, and office personalities, perhaps we should consider taking an exotic getaway to the River Kwai Jungle Rafts in Thailand. The River Kwai Jungle region conjures up unique tastes, scents, and sights of places we never even knew existed.The destination plays out like an emporium for the senses; fresh bursts of neon red flowers and spicy foods, the strong smell of moving water, the slippery film of fish simmering in woks. Visitors marvel at the panorama of lush jungles and green mountains surrounding them. When the appetite for food and adventure is stimulated, this area is sure to rouse us from our boring reverie. Just when we feel that we may never experience life outside our cubicle again, this trip will remind us that's it's an interesting and stimulating world out there—go for it! The River Kwai Jungle Rafts, Thailand,have been floating since 1976. They are in a location that transcends the ordinary. There are many events and activities in the area including elephant rides; visits to caves, waterfalls, fishing, hiking, and bird watching. Guests can experience boating, canoeing and rafting. Mon village, Mon Temple and Hellfire pass are not to be missed. Traditional Mon dancers, enveloped in dazzling fabrics, move their bodies during local performances. You tend to notice their elegant hands, which dip and dive into graceful poses, gleaned from thousands of years of tradition. There is a floating restaurant with locally prepared foods and a jungle bar. In the kitchen, piles of vegetables, herbs, lemongrass, fruits and grated spice litter the countertops. Containers of oils, condiments and fragrant sauces line up behind bowls of chopped limes oozing with fragrance. Traveling to far away lands can be a useful education. It gives us a chance to explore places, events, and things both everyday and profound. Many people's lives can be dull and flat without any fun. Yet, it is within everyone's grasp to choose new adventures. It is up to each and every one of us to decide if we want to take the risks necessary to enjoy life at its fullest. 
River Kwai Floating Jungle Rafts is a true getaway. It gives visitors an opportunity to examine what their life is truly all about. Lodgers have time for introspection and can explore subjects as: personal perspectives, self-limiting beliefs, values, simple acts of selflessness, the need for change, gratitude for what they have, lucky breaks, successes, their ups and downs of life, intelligent choices, quality of their relationships, following their dreams and passions, what is true happiness, and so on. For the most part, visiting this area can open one's eyes to things that we have noticed but until now have not completely understood. Travelers will surely come away with a number of valuable insights. Thailand and especially the Mon people will steal your heart and will continue to hold it for a very long time. You will feel the sun, hear the movement of the river beneath your room and smell the scent of the gardens and jungles. You will experience wind on your face, brilliant colors crowding in around you, and a freedom you can never forget. This is the liberating quality of the area. FEATURED PROPERTY: The accommodations of the River Kwai Jungle Rafts, are located at Baan Tahsao, Amphor Saiyoke, Kanchanaburi 70150, Thailand

http://questcontentment.blogspot.com/William and Kate's Royal Honeymoon: The Promise Of The Seychelles Islands
Royal newlyweds Prince William and Kate are honeymooning on Descroches Island in the Seychelles and will also spend time on North Island. The newly confirmed Duke and Duchess of Cambridge are seeking privacy in the Seychelles which are popular with many celebrities: Bill Gates visited. Also Paul McCartney, Angelina Jolie and Brad Pitt. Mick Jagger, Steven Tyler, David and Victoria Beckham have also stayed there. Former U.S. Presidents, sports stars, rock stars, artists, authors and captains of industry have succumbed to its charms. A honeymoon that affords complete privacy will teach the royal couple much about their relationship: renewal, rejuvenation, relaxation, cooperation, creativity, adventure, risk taking, companionship, intimacy, tolerance, self-expression, passion, spirituality, commitment, patience, and focus. In addition to these themes, visiting a remote island can perhaps even fill a major void in their lives. Their Seychelles honeymoon provides an intimate and romantic retreat getaway. It will be a window into the natural world and will be a defining element in the attainment of their dreams. When the royal couple travels, they want simplicity to be a key goal. Overwhelming complexity must be avoided. And this is exactly what visitors can achieve at some of the villa resorts in the Seychelles. The Seychelles is a country consisting of 115 islands located 932 miles east of Africa, and northeast of Madagascar in the Indian Ocean. It is a magnificent place where tourists can explore rocky bluffs and cliffs above the sea with flights of birds and unbroken views to the ocean. The sound of the waves provides a continual mental massage. Seychelles has everything that one could need for a relaxing stay in one of the most breathtaking settings known to man or woman. The coast is, in fact, an observation deck for the greatest show on earth. Giant Tortoises, exotic orchids, parakeets and parrots hover above, soaring colonies of seabirds ride the air currents along the coastline, crabs and reptiles live among the rocks, hummingbirds whiz through flowers, and whales explore the waters. In the evening there are sunsets, the moon and the stars. Will and Kate will enjoy taking private late afternoon strolls along the coast. They will smell the salt air, feel the spray from the waves, and watch the ocean crash dramatically into rocks. 
At night, the royal couple will be amazed by the heavens, as they have never seen them before. There will be so many stars; they will have had a hard time finding their way throughout the universe. The sky here is a magnificent place to watch for shooting flairs within the Milky Way. The Seychelles has miles of coastline with long beaches. There are also hotels, galleries and restaurants to explore. Recreational activities like biking, hiking, boogie boarding, surfing, swimming, fishing, snorkeling, scuba diving and kayaking are abundant and give tourists a flavor of island lifestyle. The world of the royal family involves riveting stories coupled with interweaving themes such as ambition, illness, tragedy, revenge, retribution, disappointment, self-preservation, expectations, greed, and triumph, which can mesmerize and traumatize family members. The result is that their vitality and endurance can sputter to a mere trickle. Many royal members have very stressful lives. That feeling of being tired and frustrated is no longer an excuse for inaction. Taking a getaway to a Seychelles Island resort is a clear-cut prescription for dealing with anxiety, pressure and stress in a resourceful manner. Rest, rejuvenation and relaxation are essential ingredients to the smooth running of a body, mind and spirit, whether royal or non-royal. The owner of a relaxed property in a convenient Seychelles location, illustrates his mastery of replenishment. "People tell us this place is like a sanctuary. It is unplugged," he remarks, "You can't get cell phone service. People feel like they are really getting away from the hustle and bustle of life." It is important to look at the consequences of a stressful celebrity lifestyle. In most cases, no matter what the symptoms may be such as depression, irritability, discomfort, boredom, emotional distress, frustration, anger, helplessness, and so forth, there is often one common denominator, most sufferers lose physical energy that results in fatigue. A resort owner in the Seychelles explains, "We have repeat guests who work in the entertainment industry and work non-stop." He continues, "They come here regularly and spend 7-10 days. They say staying here is the one thing that helps renew their sanity. They are recharged so they can go back and face their high profile profession." Kate and William agree that the Seychelles is a place that can renew, restore and rejuvenate one's mind, body, and spirit. They are a couple that works hard at overcoming stress. Their trip to the Seychelles helps them focus on how to receive the greatest amount of physical exercise and relaxation. At their local resort, the emphasis is on pampering and opportunities to engage in sports and activities. Specific amenities and suggestions emanate from local resort owners, who have learned to positively organize a satisfying vacation. RESORT: It goes without saying that the grounds and facilities of Will and Kate's island resort are easy on the eyes, and a relaxing atmosphere is evident throughout the property. More importantly, the service is considered warm, welcoming, and impeccable overall. Upon arrival, the host will familiarize the royal couple with the property, and escorts them to their villa. The host explains the meal routine, other particulars and activities available on the island. The resort is accommodating to anyone who has special dietary requests or food allergies. The Seychelles Islands is recommended to anyone who wants a good dose of serenity. Will and Kate's resort is tucked away in a quiet, secluded area within a tropical setting. It is a place where they can spend easy times in good conversation with each other. SUMMARY: Resort rooms have sitting areas, and private baths, usually with large whirlpool tubs. The resort's common areas feature decorative pieces, unique architectural details, local artworks, exotic plants and paintings by local artists. The location gives the royal couple a sense of privacy, space and romance. From the property, amazing star filled heavens can be viewed. They can also see beautiful mountains in the distance. This along with great service makes for a delightful honeymoon experience. ROOMS: In addition to the comfort, the rooms are immaculately clean, each uniquely decorated with tasteful decor and furniture. Wide porches are furnished with relaxing chairs and have spectacular views. The property has WiFi, robes, and locally made toiletries. SERVICE: Great service with a warm smile. The hosts are well known for their genuine hospitality. The staff is knowledgeable and provides efficient service to their guests. LOCATION: The location is flawless for Will and Kate, who want to get away and feel removed from everyday anxiety and stress. Yet it is close enough to town to enjoy shopping, restaurants, galleries, and local culture. The resort provides an incomparable sense of comfort. The Seychelles Islands are a perfect area to ride bikes, hike or walk. CLEANLINESS: The resort is known to be spotless, especially the guestrooms. Natural plantings, and flowerbeds are dispersed throughout the property and are beautifully maintained. Overall everything, including the town, is quite picturesque. 
The resort provides a sense of island elegance, comfort and warmth. The rooms are designed to make guests feel relaxed, and comfortable. The personal attention makes the difference. The royal couple appreciates being asked if they are comfortable. The hosts are enormously helpful without being intrusive. ~ www.sustainablecontentment.com http://questcontentment.blogspot.com/

Teleseminar: Thurs, Sep 30, 2010 September and October 2010 celebrates recovery from Childhood Obesity, Adult Obesity, Addictions (substance-abuse,
alcoholism) and Eating Disorders. Tens of millions of sufferers aged 12 or older need
treatment for a substance abuse or eating disorder in the United States, and
their families are also affected by these afflictions. Many people do not
understand that drug-addiction, alcoholism, and eating disorders are treatable
diseases, and this misconception can keep people from getting help. |
Recovery is an annual observance that brings attention
to recovery programs during the months of September and October 2010.
In support of Michelle Obama's initiatives to address childhood obesity, and to help overcome barriers to long-term recovery,
SustainableContentment dot com will host a Nationwide Teleseminar on Thursday,
September 30, 2010 at 8:00PM CST. This event is intended to increase public
awareness about childhood obesity, addictions and eating disorders and will discuss what families can do
about it. It will also educate people about the positive effect that treatment
and recovery can have on loved ones and the well-being of our communities, and
will celebrate people in recovery - and those who help them.
The purpose of the Teleseminar is to bring awareness to
the societal benefits of recovery treatment, to commend the contributions of
treatment programs and promote the message that recovery from substance abuse,
alcoholism, addiction, eating disorders (obesity, bulimia, anorexia, and binge-eating)
- is possible. The Teleseminar will also encourage citizens to take action to
help expand and improve the availability of effective substance abuse treatment
for those in need. This is an effort to educate the public about treatment, how
it works, for whom, and why. Recovery programs have made significant
accomplishments, having transformed the lives of untold thousands of Americans.
These successes often go unnoticed by the broader population.
The Teleseminar will be moderated by C.J. Good, author of Little Gifts of Sustainable Contentment, a healing book of recovery. "It
is time for citizens to start helping their friends and neighbors by noticing
the signs of addiction and offering places to turn for help," said C.J.
Good. "By alerting people to the recovery services available, we can help
community members and their families find a path of recovery, encourage access
to treatment services for all those in need. and help sufferers lead
productive, healthy lives."
To register for this free Teleseminar event, RSVP at: goodconnie(at)sustainablecontentment(dot)com.

Check the recovery month website - http://www.recoverymonth.gov - to find other
events in your area.
Another organization, NEDA (National Eating Disorders
Association - http://www.nationaleatingdisorders.org ) hosts
an annual walk that takes place on Sunday October 3rd, 2010 from 11am to 1pm in
New York. The Walk is NEDA's largest fundraising and community building event.
NEDA is a non-profit national organization dedicated to helping families and
those who suffer from bulimia, anorexia, or binge eating disorder. It is
estimated that up to 10 million people in this country suffer from an eating
disorder.
These events also serve to educate the public on
childhood obesity as a national health crisis; that addiction, alcoholism and
obesity are treatable diseases, and that recovery is possible.
"We want to highlight the benefits of treatment for not only the affected
individual, but for their family, friends, workplace, and society as a
whole." says C.J. Good. "Educating the public reduces the stigma
associated with addiction and treatment. Accurate knowledge of these diseases
helps people to understand the importance of supporting treatment programs,
those who work within the treatment field, and those in need of
treatment."
About the moderator:: C.J. Good author of "Precious Gifts of Love"
and "Little Gifts of Sustainable Contentment," writes on topics ranging from spirituality, inspiration, and growth to health
issues, business and relationships. Her purpose is to write quality books that
