Steve Dotto has some thoughts on managing Google accounts:

One thing it seems we can never have enough of, is of course, Google Accounts. Hey they are free!

However, managing multiple accounts concurrently can be a pain. Mixed up logins, a huge waste of resources, not to mention time spent logging in, logging out.

In this video I take a look at 4 ways to manage your Google accounts better, from the sumple and obvious, to the sublime.

Unfortunately none of Steve’s solutions are as good imho as being able to log into Chrome as different users and go easily back and forth between accounts. You can see what I mean here:

Dr. Wayne Dyer on Awakening: How to Make Your Life a Living Masterpiece

Dr. Wayne Dyer writes:

What if you changed your perspective and viewed your existence as an artistic masterpiece in progress?

Imagine your life as being an incomplete Michelangelo or Picasso piece that starts as a blank canvas, and that with every conscious stroke, turns more and more into a masterpiece that will be cherished by all who are touched by its radiating beauty.

In this 9-minute video, the inspiring Dr. Wayne Dyer gives his unique take on awakening and how to balance this spiritual pilgrimage with modern day pressures, such as the need to have success, in every facet of our lives.

Watch the video to hear how you can change your perspective from measuring your worth based on your success, to seeing your life as a masterpiece in progress. The paradox to this, of course, is once you shift your focus away from the things you’ve been tirelessly striving toward, those very same things often turn up in abundance once you stop looking for them. Funny how the Universe works sometimes.

Share with us below what you think of Dyer’s beautiful analogy of making your life a living masterpiece.

Wholeheartedness = courage, compassion and connection…

Time to mix things up again. Thanks to my friend Tim Kastelle for sharing Brené Brown’s TED Talk on vulnerability. She writes here on cultivating worthiness…

Practicing courage, compassion, and connection in our daily lives is how we cultivate worthiness. The key word is practice. Mary Daly, a theologian, writes, “Courage is like—it’s a habitus, a habit, a virtue: You get it by courageous acts. It’s like you learn to swim by swimming. You learn courage by couraging.” The same is true for compassion and connection. We invite compassion into our lives when we act compassionately toward ourselves and others, and we feel connected in our lives when we reach out and connect. Before I define these concepts and talk about how they work, I want to show you how they work together in real life—as practices. This is a personal story about the courage to reach out, the compassion that comes from saying, “I’ve been there,” and the connections that fuel our worthiness.

How to Make Tea

Lately, I have been turned on to the joy of loose leaf tea. My ‘tealologist’ Jenelle of Caffe Tlazo in Algoma, WI says that the tea we buy in the grocery store is the ‘hot dog‘ of teas made of from the floor sweepings of the good stuff. You can learn more about making good tea here: How to Make Tea – Prevention.com. Ask Jenelle if you want to know more about buying good tea once you know how to make it…

Oh, Discipline! We Need To Hang Out More Often!

Donna Gates writes:

Chop wood and carry water. According to meditation masters and seasoned yogis, the path to greater awareness is unadorned and practical.

In order to awaken to our essential self, all we need is determined effort.

And after we “wake up,” the story is the same: Chop wood and carry water.

Too often, we glamorize spirituality. We are accustomed to finding peace in a place that we need to go to. In reality, our greatest source of strength and peace is within.

And the only way to get there is with consistent effort and discipline.

Discipline can take us to deeper and more fulfilling places in life. It can make our dreams a reality and it can bring our goals within arm’s reach.
