I firmly believe in the system of barter and this tradition has a rich history in the wellness/holistic community - seva or service in exchange for room, board and activities participation at an ashram, karma yoga/volunteering at a yoga studio in exchange for classes, service during a Vipassana or Insight Meditation Society retreat - all exemplify the spirit of community and mutual support. This way, income/money isn't a barrier to training, instruction and experience that's profound, transformative, life-affirming and life-sustaining.
I feel that income shouldn't be a barrier to accessing my services either.
If you wish to explore an exchange of services or another barter arrangement, please contact me - whether in Manhattan or anywhere else. Even if it's simply a place to stay during a visit, I'm open to exploring the limitless possibilities. I'm all about making meaningful connections that are mutually supportive. If I can help - I will.

More Options for Google+ Badges
Webmaster Level: All
Update on February 2, 2012: The new Google+ badge is now out of preview and available to all users on all sites.
When we launched Google+ pages in November, we also released Google+ badges to promote your Google+ presence right on your site. Starting today in developer preview (and soon available to all your users), we're adding more options for integrating the Google+ badge into your website. You can configure a badge with a width that fits your site design and choose a version that works better on darker sites. You'll also see that Google+ badges now include the unified +1 and circle count that we added to Pages last month.
If you're still considering whether to add a Google+ badge on your website, consider this: We recently looked at top sites using the badge and found that, on average, the badge accounted for an additional 38% of followers. When you add the badge visitors to your website can discover your Google+ page and connect in a variety of ways: they can follow your Google+ page, +1 your site, share your site with their circles, see which of their friends have +1'd your site, and click through to visit your Google+ page.
The Google+ Badge makes it easy for your fans to find and follow you on Google+. With these additional options, we hope it's even easier to create a badge that fits your website.
