another perspective on smoothies →
veganliciouslj:
Though Happy Herbivore (& Drs Esselstyn & Campbell) make awesome and valid points about whole foods vs processed, other doctors have a different perspective on smoothies. Check out this link from my own personal nutrition guru, Vegan Epicurean.

Ansel Adams knows a thing or two about love. →
Adams describes the many forms of love in a thoughtful letter to his best friend. He writes, “For the first time I know what love is; what friends are; and what art should be.” It’s a bold, touching statement.
Found (again) at Letters of Note, via Letters of a Nation.

Hello again.
I faded away for awhile, but have returned again—for an indeterminate length, but I am here nonetheless.
Weeks (months, maybe…I can’t tell) have passed. Life has evolved and my perspective has changed in various ways.
On a related note, this article on OdeWire has been on my mind lately. I discovered it recently, nearly a year after its original publication. However, it is no...

The Wolf: A reminder →
mohandasgandhi:

Don’t delete the credit or sources of a work either.
You don’t plagiarize other people’s work, do you? Don’t display other people’s work without giving credit. It’s not a…

Need to Create? Get a Constraint →
infoneer-pulse:
One of the many paradoxes of human creativity is that it seems to benefit from constraints. Although we imagine the imagination as requiring total freedom, the reality of the creative process is that it’s often entangled with strict conventions and formal requirements. Pop songs have choruses and refrains; symphonies have four movements; plays have five acts; painters still rely...
