Today I am celebrating my 101st post, and instead of my musings I thought I would share with you other peoples posts I found inspirational and that have stayed in my mind. For New Year’s Eve is a time of reflection and new beginnings. CHEERS!!!
I love this HOLSTEE manifesto – click on it to buy the poster.
Susannah Conway has a lovely inspirational 2012 Workbook giveaway that I love (above) – she writes a beautiful blog, teaches online courses (I enjoyed her “photo meditations” course and am about to start “unravelling”) and has just written a book. Click on the photo above.
That is Lesley Carter above, hanging off a bridge in a bungee cord. She is an East Coast Canadian who just uprooted and moved to California with her husband. She wrote a BUCKET LIST for the year – which I think is a brilliant way to look at the future – why not a yearly bucket list instead of one for life? She shares her many adventures on her blog – including impending motherhood. Click on her photo to see the list. (and although I don’t know her, I believe she will do it!). What is on your LIST?
Dominique Browning has a blog, and the most memorable post for me is “Go Where the Love Is” – simple enough – but powerful – are you going where the love is? Click on the peonies (above) for the post, and that is the cover of her book that I liked.
Other Blogs I find thought provoking … that you may also enjoy…
BRANDiGiRL BLOG (and link to Freshly Hued while you are there)
If you never have seen TED talks (spreading ideas in 18 minutes or less), I warn you that you will be hooked – it was hard to pick favorites, but here is a good place to start, in no particular order…
neuroscientist Ramanchandran – mirror neurons, civilization and how we are all connected
brain scientist Jill Bolte Taylor – stroke of insight
life coach Tony Robbins – why we do what we do his seminars are usually 3 days, TEDs are 20 minutes:) action packed!
author Elizabeth Gilbert – nurturing creativity wrote Eat, Pray, Love
author Malcolm Gladwell – spaghetti sauce wrote Tipping Point, Blink, Outliers
author Seth Godin – marketing (3 to choose from) branding and marketing wonder
and one of my favorite sunset photos of MacKenzie Beach, Tofino BC. All my best wishes to you for 2012!
What a great gift….I shall check this post often when I’m looking for something interesting to read, and follow up on your favorites.
Love the Tofino sunset picture. Truly beautiful.
By the way, your Festival of Lights post was on the Van Dusen Facebook page again! Congrats!
Happy New Year!
