GMG Alternative Energy Series- EnergySage Website- Compare Solar Quotes With Just A Few Clicks

image

EnergySage Is A Game Changer.  They couldn’t make learning about solar quicker, more transparent or easier to understand than this.  In my quest to bring more info to you, my peeps, I went into EnergySage Headquarters and spoke with Senior Solar Advisor Kimberly Le who demonstrated just how few clicks it takes to get an instant estimate and then how after you register with a few more clicks that you can get a bunch of area solar installers (who are all vetted and approved by EnergySage) and have user ratings in their profiles (much like the way Amazon or Trip Advisor has user generated reviews) which give you an idea of how happy people are with their installations.

The part I like best is how all of the different Solar companies compete for your business, and they all load their quotes in a standardized way that EnergySage set up so that you can compare each installer’s quotes side by side.  Aaaaand then to take it even a step further, EnergySage takes the equipment that each solar installer is proposing for your project and rates the solar panels in a grading system.   Aaaaaand you always have access to totally impartial passionate about Solar, EnergySage Solar Advisors that can further guide you and answer any questions you may have along the way.

You know how I’m all about the No-Brainer initiatives that are wins for everyone involved.  Well this is literally a NO-Risk, everything to gain, super simple, super fast way to check out Solar options for you.

Check out the first interview I did with Kimberly Le, Senior Solar Advisor for EnergySage right here and then check out the EnergySage Website and for zero cost just fill out the measly three  fields to get an instant quote.  You don’t even have to talk to anyone if you don’t want to.

Here’s the link to get an instant estimate- EnergySage

Once you get an instant estimate based on your address, you can register to get access to the marketplace where the different EnergySage Vetted and Approved Installers start to email you quotes and they appear in your EnergySage Marketplace Dashboard side by side where you can compare things like what each installer is proposing for a warrantee, each installer’s user generated reviews, an installation target date, what type of panels they propose to use, and more.  Best part is that on every page there are little question marks that when you click on them, explain in further detail what each term means, also there’s an EnergySage Advisor that is just a mouse click away that will help you as well if you have any questions.

January Ritual: Make Mondays Your Favorite Day

Saltwater Massage Studio is making 2016 the year of R I T U A L S.

sunset “It’s not rocket science or religion – it’s just joy.”

If you know me, you know my passion is for providing massage therapy that “does something” – massage that makes a difference and alleviates physical pain. But lately I’ve been thinking about the other “something” that massage does. Massage can also be a tool to create moments of stillness, silence and (dare I say) happiness in our lives. And that makes a difference too. And alleviates pain. Couldn’t we all use a bit of therapeutic rest?

I believe that happiness makes us healthier people. I’m not saying happiness will cure cancer (believe me, I know it doesn’t), but I do think that “calming the inner storm” makes us a little more patient, more kind, and more generous. And maybe then we can become more…

Sayings to make you smile and take your mind off the middle east, the stock market and certain Presidential Hopefuls From Al Bezanson

“Hurry to the back of the ship,” said Tom sternly.

“What’s an angle over 90 degrees ?” asked Tom obtusely.

“I knew the gun wasn’t loaded,” said Tom blankly.

“I’ve injured my leg,” said Tom lamely.

“Use your own toothbrush !” Tom bristled.

“I mustn’t let the fire go out,” Tom bellowed.

“I work at a bank,” said Tom tellingly.

“Nice mirror,” Tom reflected.

“There’s someone at the front door,” Tom chimed in.

“Very well, you can borrow it again,” Tom relented.

“I’ve gone back to my wife,” was Tom’s rejoinder.

“Some you lose,” said Tom winsomely. “I just lost my flashlight” Said Tom in a delighted mannner.

“I just found out that magic is fake!” said Tom in a disenchanted way.

Just when everybody is feeling all warm and fuzzy about the Snowy Owl…

I may never sleep again.
Aaaand this is why I’m not a wildlife guy. Yes I know this isn’t a snowy owl. But its an owl. Owls doing owl things like choking down rats that are a third of their body size.

If I say it once I’ll say it a thousand times. Y’all can take your camping out and hiking and nature walks out in the wilderness where shit is just trying to eat you and danger lurks around every bunch of pricka bushes. I’ll take a nice comfy room with a view and posh accommodations every damn time.

Ribeye’s At Stop and Shop East Gloucester $5.99 Lb. A No-Brainer Purchase

I like to point out great deals.  This is a great deal.  $5.99 a lb for choice ribeyes when you buy three steaks or more.  These are usually $9-$11 a lb.

Got a bunch for the crew for Sunday dinner. There was boneless and semi-boneless all with nice marbling.   No one complained Smile

Elaine SH (2)If you have not yet attended  Elaine O’Rourke’s Sound Healing Journey, put it on the top of your to do list for the New Year! This experience is hard to describe, and if you’ve been…you know what we mean. The description is below, but here are a few things we thought you should know before attending!

    1. There is NO  physical yoga involved. That’s right! You just lay down on your yoga mat, listen and hopefully become absorbed into the sound.
    2. Every one’s experience is different. Some people fall asleep, others feel like they are floating in and out. Some say they could feel the sounds moving through them.
    3. The sounds works at a deep cellular level which promotes healing.  People have had a decrease in aches and pains, reduced anxiety, better sleep. It has helped some to gain insight and clarity.
    4. You will leave this event feeling extremely relaxed, so…
