…on Kindness

“I expect to pass through life but once. If therefore, there be any kindness I can show, or any good thing I can do to any fellow being, let me do it now, and not defer or neglect it, as I shall not pass this way again.” ~ William Penn via Today’s Quotes: Only Get Even With Those Who Have Helped You!.

Something interesting happened this week…

Image representing Alexa as depicted in CrunchBase

For the first time in my 7 years of blogging, my personal blog [this one] has a higher Alexa ranking and is getting more traffic than my business blog. A couple of datapoints…

You can read more about the different version of WordPress here. My conclusion? WordPress.com is a very powerful and viable platform for ‘thought leadership‘ marketing. Why mess with the hosted version unless you really need a feature that WordPress.com doesn’t offer? WordPress is “good, fast, and cheap”…

What’s wrong with our food system; an 11 year old’s perspective

“11-year-old Birke Baehr presents his take on a major source of our food — far-away and less-than-picturesque industrial farms. Keeping farms out of sight promotes a rosy, unreal picture of big-box agriculture, he argues, as he outlines the case to green and localize food production.” via Birke Baehr: What’s wrong with our food system | Video on TED.com.

Nice post!

kewauneecares4u's avatarKewaunee Cares

An article in the New York Times once touted Kewaunee County, Wisconsin as one of the best places in the country to see a colorful and diverse growth of native wildflowers. Here are photos of some which are easy to spot and some getting harder and harder to find. Amazingly, the county feels the need to keep the paths in parks and the Ahnapee and Ice Age Trails open by spraying with chemicals that kill everything in sight. Not only does that take away yet another tourist attraction for the county, it also adds to the chemical pollution destroying the quality of our main tourist attraction, the water.

So enjoy these beautiful flowers while we still have them.

What is a CAFO and why should I care?

This post may appear to be an off-topic rant, but it’s closely related to my main theme of ‘health’ and quality of life…

Part of my story…

9 years ago, my family and I left Aurora, IL in the Chicago suburbs primarily around the issue of quality of life. The year we left, there were 25 homicides in Aurora; 2/3rds due to gang-related violence and the remainder due to domestic violence. Every year 2-3 kids would get hit by a stray bullet and with 5 boys at the time, I felt the odds were against me. After a long journey, we ended up in our ‘paradise’ — the Town of Pierce in Kewaunee County, Wisconsin… It was at our annual town meeting that I first heard the word CAFO or Concentrated Animal Feeding Operation… Continue reading “What is a CAFO and why should I care?” →

There Are Good People Out There

Here’s a good story for a Sunday morning…

“The media is filled with stories of “bad” people—people to be feared. By watching the nightly news one would assume that our world is populated by people who would rather hurt than help us; who would go to great lengths to avoid lending a helping hand.
Fortunately, we know better.

My husband and I, along with our twin sons, have spent a total of four years cycling the Americas. We’ve pedaled 27,000 miles in all, including a three-year journey from Alaska to Argentina that spanned fifteen countries.

Wonder how many “bad” people we encountered in three years, 27,000 miles, and fifteen countries? I could count them on one hand.” via There Are Good People Out There [BLOG] « Positively Positive.

I’m NOT myself today… and that’s OK

“When someone asks you: “How are you?” it’s a common response to say “I’m Good” even when you’re NOT!

Now let’s turn the tables here…  What if you were to answer “I’m not myself today.”

A Canadian movement “I’m Not Myself Today” is promoting mental health.  Bringing awareness to the illness that impacts almost 7 million Canadians, including over one million children.” via I’m NOT myself today… and that’s OK by Lee | SimpLee Serene.
