Local green entreprenuers and twenty-somethings, Laurel Staples and Moses Maxen join Dawn this week in the first hour of "Wake Up & Live" this Saturday at 8:00 CST. We'll find out what prompted Laurel to leave her job only a year out of Vanderbilt to open "Ecology," Nashville's first sustainable boutique that's 100% dedicated to oganic materials, fair labor and fashion-forward thinking. (See http://www.ecologyfashion.com/ for more and for info on next week's after hours event.)

Moses Maxen, of iDesign Inc and a green minded Nashville realtor, started Greener Nashville to promote our local green movement by offering an events calendar and a green organization/business directory. Go to http://www.greenernashville.org/ to view Moses great calendar of events as well as info on conservation, green businesses, green policy, merchandise. What is exciting is that both of these guests are young people who are concerned about the environment and creating a world that works better for everyone including Mother Earth herself.


For years, Dawn has had a copy of the Paradoxical Commandments. You may have seen them. They begin with, "People are illogical, unreasonable and self-centered. Love them anyway." The little sheet that Dawn has on file in her office says the author is unknown. She will actually talk to the author, Kent Keith, our guest for the 9:00 CST hour. Keith was a 19 year old student when he wrote them and has since been a university president and attorney and has appeared nationally on Today as well as in the NY Times thanks to several best selling books. We'll tak with Keith in particular about "Do It Anyway - Finding Personal Meaning and Deep Happiness by Living the Paradoxical Commandments." Learn more about Keith at
