Feel Good Friday...Millionaire Janitor

Feel Good Friday…Millionaire Janitor

How many times have we heard of someone winning the lottery only to have all the money gone and their lives in shambles in short order? It seems that winning money far too often creates more problems than it solves. Here is a horse of a different color. Tyrone Curry won almost 4 million dollars a few years ago. He still works as a custodian at the school where we coaches the Track and Field team. And he just donated $40,000.00 for a new track.

This is a great example for all of us…with or without the money!

Feel Good Friday ...graFEETi

Feel Good Friday…GraFEETi

This particularly poignant message really moved me. Imagine picking up your shoes after class and finding an inspirational message in them! What a very cool concept. Or buying a pair of shoes and finding the gift of an uplifting thought. Check it out here:

Feel inspired? You could do this too!

Feel Good Friday...Food Crusader

Feel Good Friday…Food Crusader

Food is a big one with me. I love to eat. I love to prepare it for friends. I love to grow. In this video a very unlikely crusader for food ties it all together. From the introduction of foreign proteins into the food chain to the incidence of cancer (USA is the highest in the world) to the cost of health care (we spend more than any other country) and a few other loose ends Robyn O’Brien creates a compelling, logical and rational discussion for an overhaul of how we eat, produce and market food. This problem is not going away and it is not going to get any better until we start insisting that is does. In the meantime, grow a garden! I picked the first ripe tomato this morning!

Feel Good Friday...Wind Art

Feel Good Friday…Wind Art

Imagine coming upon one of these creatures while walking along the beach one day. This is some very cool stuff. For myself I can’t imagine the imagination and resourcefulness it takes to create such a critter. See it here:

Create something today out of stuff you have lying around. It will be cool and it’s good for your brain to stretch in this way!
