Feel Good Friday...The Story of Cosmetics

Feel Good Friday…The Story of Cosmetics

You may have seen the short video the story of stuff. Here is another from the same folks but this one is all about cosmetics and personal care products. The average woman in America uses 12 personal care products a day, the men use 6. Every give much thought to what is actually in those things? I never did until recently. It is a natural outgrowth of our desire for organic food and clean water. The stuff I put on my hair and skin goes into my system just like food does. As a matter of fact, the skin is the largest organ in the body. It only makes sense to look a little closer at the goop we are using on that organ. See the video here:

Feel Good Friday...Khan's Academy

Feel Good Friday...Khan's Academy

I don't know about you but there were certain parts of math I never got. Geometry and I never really meshed. Apparently I am spatially challenged. It is nice to know that I am not the only one! Here is the guy I really needed all those years ago:

Now in short (less than 10 minutes) videos, Salman Khan breaks down various subjects from physics to math, history to finance. Apparently about 10 minutes is all we can really pay attention and you tube is a perfect conveyance for the lessons. He has posted over 1400 videos on a huge number of subjects from the simple (addition) to the complex (credit derivative swaps). This is a huge help for the educational system.

Maybe I can go back and relearn the missing geometry lessons!

Feel Good Friday...The Miracle is You

Feel Good Friday…The Miracle is You

We rarely give much thought to the amazing bodies we live in. Every day you re-generate, rejuvenate some 300 billion cells in your body. Every day. Your bloods travels 60,000 miles on its trip around your circulatory system, your stomach and intestinal tract process raw material and turn it into energy, and your brain, well, simply amazing. Your eyes process more information than the best telescope can and who knows how big the computer would have to be to do what your brain does every day. You can heal broken bones, grow new skin and create new life. You are an amazing miracle.
And as amazing as it is it really does need some maintenance every day…just like your car needs tires and an oil change, your body needs good fuel, exercise and rest. Take care of it!
Here is the link to a really cool video about your body!

Feel Good Friday...Happy Birthday

Feel Good Friday…Happy Birthday

Every once in a while I see one of the videos and get really moved. This 2 and ½ minute piece moved me, probably because the recipient was moved and surprised. Your birthday is a special day every year because you are special. So get out there and do the “it’s your birthday dance” dance! Or maybe do it for someone else…And Happy Birthday to all of my Cancer friends…Love you all!

Feel Good Friday...The Power of Education

Feel Good Friday…The Power of Education

In many parts of the world, education is so valued that families will sacrifice almost anything to get just one of their children through school. There is no substitute for education, the ability to learn, to read and to articulate are invaluable in making your way in the world. Here is a woman who risks her life everyday to educate other women and children. In some parts of the world education for certain segments of the population is still banned. These practices must be stopped. The way to peace is through education. Maybe we should be using books instead of bombs. Here is the link to Sakena Yacoobi and the Afghan institute of Learning:

And remember it is never too late to educate yourself!

Feel Good Friday...One Talented Chef, One Million Mouths to Feed

Feel Good Friday…One Talented Chef, One Million Mouths to Feed

Every 3.6 seconds another human dies from hunger. You can do something about it. You can volunteer at the local food bank. You can go see Chris at the Spread Peace Café and see what he has done. You can work in a community garden. You can make sandwiches and distribute them. There homeless and hungry people where you live. Right now, right under your bridge or underpass. Stop looking away and start connecting.

Here’s a man who saw and did:

Just Do It!
