CNN: Ten ways to become a better person

February 15, 2009

Not quite what I would have at first put on my list of ten ways to become a better person, but the more I think about it, more items on this list make sense to me. Ten ways to become a better person By Amelia McDonell-Parry 1. Pack your lunch: Instead of spending $10 on… Read More CNN: Ten ways to become a better person

Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 15 a.k.a. Volume 4, Episode 2

February 11, 2009

Rumours have it that Heroes is going back to its roots, trying to overcome it’s fall in ratings by returning somewhat to some of its original concepts. As I sat down to watch the new episode, I couldn’t help but hope that this episode would be somewhat of a return to Season 1-style Heroes, back… Read More Review: Heroes, Season 3, Episode 15 a.k.a.

Gotta love little siblings

February 1, 2009

An interesting forward made its way to the top of my virtual slosh pile – i.e. the emails marked non-urgent that tend to accumulate alarmingly fast these days. While I have a secret fascination with some celebrities, I have long ago taken a step back from tabloids and gossip columns, choosing to spend more time… Read More Gotta love little siblings

Life really is a highway, and we are all driving it all life long

January 31, 2009

I used to think that the first step to ‘Be the change’ is to step out of our comfort zone, but I have been rethinking that in the last couple of days. Perhaps the first step is more about realising the depth of our interconnectedness, not just in our neighbourhoods and communities, but in our… Read More Life really is a highway, and we are all driving it all life long

Perseverance – when the heart just won’t get clean

January 27, 2009

It’s not easy, putting yourself on the path to self-improvement. OK, I take that back, for it might be the understatement of the century. It’s hellacious, putting yourself on the path to self-improvement. Admitting to yourself that you have issues is already hard enough. Pinpointing them is even harder; then you have to describe them… Read More Perseverance – when the heart just won’t get clean

Clean off your hearts, people of the world!

January 26, 2009

I really like this particular sentence, and I think it would be a great motivational sentence for any grassroots community organization looking into tapping into the better side of each human being. The question remains – how? Unfortunately, I don’t think there is one single recipe for each and every person. And I think that… Read More Clean off your hearts, people of the world!

‘Be the Change’ and all its implications

January 22, 2009

Another day, another Barack Obama inspired post. What can I say – I use what I have, and what I have in this, Inguration week, is fully Obama-fied. While I was reading yet another article on Barack Obama’s historic, change-bringing presidency, a thought struck me – and struck me hard. We are told to ‘Be… Read More ‘Be the Change’ and all its implications

More than a Fashionable Woman…

January 21, 2009

It has come! Barack Obama is now the 44th President of the United States, and let the change begin. I’d like to start with the sorry state of reporting in the United States. Or perhaps it’s more the sorry state of people’s interest? I’m not sure, but the two are certainly linked. I love fashion,… Read More More than a Fashionable Woman…

Be the Change to usher in an Era of Responsibility

January 20, 2009

I haven’t had the pleasure of spending the morning with a television set on, watching the inauguration of Obama, but I do have access to the Internet and, in moments of relative quiet, am spending some time surfing the Net, looking at pictures of the event and reading about people’s reaction. And if my boss… Read More Be the Change to usher in an Era of Responsibility
