Two great ted talks leading to a life well lived
I was lucky enough to watch these two ted talks back to back today. One is by a brilliantly funny man that spits some essential truth actually living a life. In the end he touches on, and backs up with scientific study, some key points on hapiness that have been espoused by many a long-winded Buddhists [...]
Libya: A state of Terror documentary
A great production from Al Jazeera painting a little clearer picture about what is going on in Libya and why it is happening. For the watching world, Gaddafi’s cruel retaliation defies belief, but for Libyans, the danger inherent in speaking out is nothing new. It has become an inescapable part of their life. For many [...]

10% Devotion: My 10 passions and where they stand

My 10% Devotion Project: Days 4 and 5
Firstly how cool are the pictures in this post that I found lying around cyberspace? Clearly I am drawn to them because they speak my message and to my heart, solidifying what I already believe which isn’t necessarily a good thing, but they speak messages our western world desperately needs to hear. So anyways, how [...]
