I want to share three web sites that are all about spying the good, as well as being entertaining, and giving pause for thought. All three of them are easy to subscribe to.
Stella a friend in California sent me the link to Daily Good a site that started with a college student, Nipun Mehta sending out fun daily quotes to his friends and grew into a daily news story with almost 100.000 subscribers. Mehta didn’t stop with quotes he also founded Charity Focus and the Daily Good is now fully run by their volunteers, They say their philosophy is quite simple: “be the change.” Check out their FAQ, in the about section, they appreciate input. I’ll warn you though, the stories they post are addictive, I spent a good chunk of time yesterday reading their archives. Time well spent.
A site that has been a personal favourite of mine for a few years is Rob Brezsny’s Free Will Astrology. If you subscribe to his horoscope newsletter he’ll deliver into your inbox each week some of the most entertaining horoscopes you’ll ever read, he has a unique way of using history in his predictions. He’s a pro at spotting the good. My favourite section of his newsletter outside of his horoscope is when he highlights News In Brief. Tidbits like: “China and India, which comprise one-third of the earth’s population, have more than twice the wealth they had in 1989. — Rising rates of intermarriage are helping to dissipate ethnic and religious strife worldwide. — Death rates from cancer are shrinking .—Acreage devoted to organic farming is increasing rapidly.” to quote just a few.
Susan Biali, M.D. is a woman I have recently had the pleasure of becoming acquainted with here in Cabo. She’s another transplanted Canadian who fell in love not just with Mexico but also her now Mexican born husband. She left a successful medical practice to follow a dream and way more than she dreamed for started following her travels, including a professional career as a Flamenco Dancer. I don’t really like the cliché, power-house but that’s the only way I can think to describe the energy she exudes and the positive aura that radiates from her. Check out her web site and tune into her blog; Your Prescription for Life. She also has a book on the doorstep of publication.
If anyone has some other sites they’d like to share send them along and I’ll find a space to feature them. I’m in the process of learning how to navigate this site and will soon figure out how to put a link reference on the sidebar to all these good sites.
Happy Wednesday.
