making a mark on the globe

making a mark on the globe

I recently did an interview with Sheryl Steinberg for an article in the Globe and Mail. The article is about women and applications & accessories they use to suite their female needs & wants in a smartphone. I currently this theme and a custom skin I made on the back. One of most interesting things I find about this article is the comments on the online version! People feel so free so say whatever they want online and remaining anonymous. I think that is annoying and cowardly, but I also believe in doing what you feel like. I like to know who’s who and I always comment as myself. Sheryl let me know I was happy to learn that she has a new book coming out that’s about “learning to be a modern woman in a wireless world“; I’m thinking chick-lit meets technology and starts talking nerdy?

ask yourself what is real and what is not real

ask yourself what is real and what is not real

I’ve been doing some research into the Institute for Human Continuity. Have you seen their website? It’s very nice. They have done a fantastic job at making this site seem real. I registered for the IHC Lottery so that I too can have a higher chance of survival after the catastrophic events they predict will take place in 2012. I hope you are thinking, “WTF is she talking about?” or “Has she totally lost it?“ After researching I found out that it is a promo for Sony’s 2012 movie coming out in November 2009. 2012 is an epic adventure about a global cataclysm that brings an end to the world and tells of the heroic struggle of the survivors. It is so easy to over look things, online you don’t know at first glance what is real and what isn’t. I make a point in my life to be the realest and seek out the truth. You should too.

two thousand and shine = simple abundance

two thousand and shine = simple abundance

“You must first bewho you really are,then,do what you need to do,in order to have what you want.” – Margaret Young This year, again, I am attempting to read the book Simple Abundance: A Daybook of Comfort and Joy by Sarah Ban Breathnach. The reason make another attempt is due to the fact it is written in the style of one page per day starting on January first and I would like to read it as so. The 366 essay’s focus around finding simplicity and living a more content and fulfilling way of life. It is a lovely book. So lovely that this very copy came to me because my mum’s dear friend gave her a copy two years in a row! Ha!

save them. save yourself. you wild thing.

save them. save yourself. you wild thing.

One of my favorite books as a kid was Where the Wild Things Are by Maurice Sendak. I loved this story. I just found out that mum complained at the library one time about how the book was horrible. Max was punished and sent to bed without dinner for bring mischievous. She had never heard such a story in New Zealand! This thought is quite funny, mum took another read of the story and saw it in a different light from then on. The book is regarded as an American classic in children’s lit and is only ten lines long. How inspiring!! My sister got me this great shirt for Chrissy this year. I’m feeling a bit wild today!! OMG UPDATE: the movie comes out october 16, 2009
