Excerpt from the back cover of “Final Feliz”

“If the Tango had a flavor, what would it taste like?”

This fresh and original portrait collaborative is born from the desire to stimulate inter-continental awareness through the light and shadows of artistic expression.  It is an interactive exchange of the parallels between science, culture and lifestyle with a focus on gesture and movement.  Rich and vivid imagery engage the imagination and raise the question of the personal meaning of “dance” in your life. 

 Intelligent thought provoking concepts, provocative essays, streamline scientific facts and poetic prose share philosophy at the heart of motion.   More than an eclectic collage, “Happy Ending” examines the unique beauty and duality of diverse forms of human communication in everyday life.  Alluring and even disruptive, this humanities work contains contribution from celebrated and international artists.  The mirror of reflection shines on the innocence of your inner child; while premised in an adult theme. Lessons and legends are offered as heed, contemplation and debate.

 A living collector’s edition, this study is designed to expand with new segments as our understanding of human communication grows.  “What would you like to contribute to life’s dance?”  This ecstatic sensory journey will forever expand your definition of the word.

 

 In the interest of nurturing global environments that breed everyday heroes, proceeds from each book purchase are designated to Cause.

 

“Thank you for being a part of the journey to difference.


“once it hits the stage the truth is exposed. Dance never lies”

Final Feliz– letters phase 2


A National Call

Join us and see how a bit of your wisdom can motivate kids around the world!

Direct human communication remains a key ingredient in exposing all children to the idea of feeling connected to the world at large while understanding how to cultivate the courage to stand alone. With your contribution of a single hand-written letter of personal encouragement you have the power to influence a child’s life. There is no separation between a child in your country, a child on a different continent and your own lingering inner-child. There are only man–made barriers, physical and mental that we build between us.

We know there are children in the world living each cherished moment stricken by life threatening illness that dictates their short lives and the lives of their care-takers. There is not time to focus on sustainable philosophies for living. There are many children who still need guidance in creating these principles. Trust that over time the sustainability of their conscious choices, will prove them to be responsible, loving and productive citizens of global society. Let them hear your truth.

This simple effort of your cherished notes of inspiration will be hand delivered to Zambia, Africa to Phase II recipient Chimozo Community School, housing 350 students’ grades 1st – 7th. This School was built by Q Fund 4 Aids www.qfund4aids.org, ensuring opportunity to some of our future leaders, children orphaned to aids. We launched in December 2007 with letters from North America to the “Final Feliz Project” in Rio de Janeiro, RJ which aids impoverished children in Brazil. We welcome Ambassadors from throughout the world to share their gifts of insight. Feel free to write in your native language as your international letter will be translated by us. We have the power to reach children everywhere through this simple effortless act. Tell the children what inspires you and let them sleep with your inspiration as a tool for life.

We kindly request your submissions by November 1st, 2008.

Meet Our Ambassador Taj

It’s hard work being the princess of fun. Whether it’s a concert dance performance on an auditorium stage or teaching a movement workshop at an international conference, my body, mind and spirit are programmed for a certain level of excellence. I also require big energy to create an environment for others to discover their own excruciating beauty. It is my responsibility to educate, inspire, challenge and encourage growth. I demand results from my every muscle, including my heart and brain. I need pure and instant nourishment.

Discovering Vega has catapulted my endurance. A rare and precious find, my body craved Vega after the first experience. Sometimes creativity is overwhelming and artists forget to eat when enraptured by the imagination. My body decided that Vega was my missing link to a completely healthy plant based balance in my diet. The after performance recovery effects are an added bonus after a day of playing hard. I’m in constant motion like the ebb and flow of the ocean. Vega provides the quality fuel I need for bold athleticism and poetic musicality. As my career surges forward, each project produced must supersede the last. I consider this an honored pressure, but know that my endurance will be put to the ultimate test. I plan to have Vega be my lifetime companion.

Not just food, Vega is my lifestyle.
