Feel Good Friday...Words of Love

Feel Good Friday…Words of Love

Mother Theresa reached beyond herself, devoting herself to the poorest of the poor in the slums of Calcutta. As the world celebrates the 100th anniversary of her birth here is a video of some of her inspiring words:

Her motto was “love until it hurts”. As a friend of mine is fond of quoting “Mother Theresa once said that God trusts us to handle what He gives us. I just wish he didn’t trust me quite so much!”

Enjoy this inspiring message.

Feel Good Friday...Brrrr

Feel Good Friday...Brrrr
The water is 29 degrees, 3 freezing. It is black. The altitude is 15,000 feet and then some. You are going swimming in your speedo. What???? Really!!!
This man, Lewis Pugh, swam across a lake in the shadow of Mt. Everest. Unimaginable. But that is not
real lesson. The real lesson is something else entirely. And it is all about your mind and your commitment.
See the video here:

How about you? Can you commit like this? And then can you shift your thinking and remain committed? As I just heard recently...if you don't like change, if you can't embrace change, you are really going to hate extinction.

Feel Good Friday...The Dollar Difference

Feel Good Friday…The Dollar Difference

How much difference would a dollar make in your life? For many people around us it would be very little. Yet for millions of people around the globe the difference a dollar can make is huge. The man in this video:
http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=1976
has a vision of teaching people how to get out of poverty through their own efforts. This, by the way, is pretty much the only way any one gets out poverty. His efforts have affected 2 million people and created over 6 million dollars in income. Pretty amazing, expecially when you consider this man grew up barely able to eat. Check it out and start thinking of ways you can help teach people how to fish!

Feel Good Friday...Natural Beauty

Feel Good Friday…Natural Beauty

Here is a video produced by a band called Stomacher. They used over 20,000 pictures from around the world to create a collage of beauty. And the music isn’t bad either. This is titled: Untitled/Dark Divider. Take about 4 minutes out of your day and enjoy! See it here:

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:

http://www.karmatube.org/videos.php?id=1996

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!
