Dog, Cat, Rat – Amazing Trio!

Mar 25th, 2009

A friend recently sent me an email about a kitten and parakeet playing together – I asked if she thought that would last when the cat grew up.  She sent me an email saying the following:

Maybe if they grew up together they’d remain friends. When Michael took his mom to Santa Fe for a vacation, there was a guy in the plaza with a dog, a cat, and a rat. The dog had a harness that the cat held onto and the rat sat on top of the cat. They were all piled up and just hung out that way: a rat on a cat on a dog. Why can’t we all just get along?

So I did a search at Youtube.com and found THE VIDEO – I love how easy it is to find information on the Internet.  It connects us in ways that until recently were unheard of.  In the search box I typed: dog, cat, rat, and this charming video emerged to delight me.  (If your company blocks YOUTUBE.com and there’s a gaping hole below, open this post at home.  It’s worth it).

Admiring Physical Genius

Mar 20th, 2009

I’ve been annoyed by black marks left by skateboarders and bikers….but I just watched a little video of Aaron Ross that blew me away.  He has such incredible physical genius that I wouldn’t want him to not use it.  His physical gifts of balance, creativity, daring, and showmanship are worth a little damage – shocking statement I know!  Does he just take your breath away!

Want to know what to eat?

Mar 19th, 2009

Because March is National Nutrition month, I wanted to share some healthy eating tips with you. 

I’ve studied a lot of different food pyramids and wanted to make  you aware of Dr. Weil’s version.  His dietary recommendations are very sound.  Dr. Weil’s food pyramid is very different from the FDAs version because he doesn’t have to deal with powerful food lobbyists and can make recommendations he backs 100%. 

If you’re wondering what to eat…and how much of it to eat, check out his anti-inflammatory pyramid.

Do you know how to breathe?

Mar 19th, 2009

I used to think it was silly to take a class to learn how to breathe……because we breathe all day every day.  But then I learned about rejuvenating, healing, deep breathing and life has never been the same.  It’s been better.

If you would like to better manage stress, center your thoughts, and activate your natural energy, try these breathing exercises from Dr. Andrew Weil – a wellness pioneer.

Add these breathing exercises to your daily wellness routine – you’ll notice a big difference in the quality of your day.

Any deep breathers out there want to make a comment below?
