How do you react to the things you can’t prepare for?…

Very late last year, just before Christmas, the sight in my right eye became blurred. It was manageable at first, when the haze wasn’t so bad, but over the course of a few weeks it gradually got worse, to the point my sight essentially became half clear and half hazy. It was at that point, about a week into January this year, I admitted I couldn’t ignore it anymore, no amount of ‘it’ll get better by itself’ was going to work, and so I finally dragged myself to the hospital.

As some may know, and some may not, I’ve had a tumour sitting behind my right eye for the past four years. You wouldn’t know it was there looking at me, but it is, and though, for the most part, I’ve been able to live with it, it’s also…

I tried a science-backed eating plan tied to a better memory and longer life — and never felt like I was ‘dieting’

Erin Brodwin writes: “You could say I’ve been around the diet block. I’ve been vegan, restricted my eating to an 8-hour window as part of an intermittent fast, and given ketogenic and vegetarian meal plans a spin — all in an attempt to give myself more energy, feel healthier, and power through the various activities I enjoy, like yoga, hiking, and rock climbing. The one regimen I’ve never tried, however, is the one I write about the most: the Mediterranean Diet.

Michigan wildlife agency to lure bears with doughnuts and bacon

Seems legit!

Yogi Bear would definitely forgo the pic-a-nic basket in favor of these treats. MLive reports employees of Michigan’s Department Of Natural Resources will soon try to bait bears—in an effort to count and survey them—with piles of doughnuts and bacon.

You have to give meaning to your work. Source: The Importance of Having a Purpose in Digital Transformation and Innovation

Charlie's avatarHave Wanderlust: Will Travel

The other day, I was discussing with my younger sister the struggle we have in erasing judgmental thoughts from our brains, especially as automatic responses. I was reminded of something I wrote several years ago:

 

“If you are sitting up on your high horse you may be able to see better what everyone else is doing wrong, but everyone else can also see better your every mistake and fault. Get off and walk on the same level as the rest of the world, and maybe you can stop judging and being judged.”

I’m not sure what was happening in my life around Christmas of 2012 when I noted the above in my journal. I can’t think of anything big that may have been calling me to promote my sympathy for others or remove myself from a judgmental point of view. However, judging others has been (and still is) a…
