With a blink of an eye, we are now 1/12th done with the calendar year! My oh my, and what a whirlwind it has been. Here are some good links and reads around the world wide web.
This is a picture of my handsome father in 1961. Born in Poland as a Jew, he was kicked out in 1969 and Sweden granted him citizenship, along with other refugees. In 1974, he immigrated to the United States where he went to Stanford University for another graduate degree. Thank you, Sweden, for accepting my father and welcoming him into your arms. And America, let’s continue to welcome people of every religion, race, and background. We are all children of immigrants.
I recently discovered issues with my thyroid and sugar levels, so this article is right on.
This guided meditation, yoga nidra for sleep, has helped me out quite a bit since the start of the New Year.
The author is one of my best childhood friends, and writes on a very interesting subject: global warming.
Recommendations for supplements.
One good thing that happened over the weekend.
The new social media buzz move. Weird.
Hearing this author speak and I am excited about what I will learn!
A dear friend’s random acts of kindness. I want to do this now.
A practical guide for resisting the current agenda.
Not generally a fan of Filipino food, but I still want to try this restaurant out!
I once wrote a letter to the King of Sweden (we lived there when I was little and my mother was obsessed with the Royal Family) — and believe it or not, he wrote me back. And now, 30 years later, the Royal Family is becoming popular abroad too! (My mom is always ahead of everyone!)
Thank you for sharing some good links- all relevant to what is going on around the world right now. Love the picture you shared of your father. It’s a great reminder that we are all children of immigrants in this country. The act of blocking refugees and other immigrants from entering our country, specifically based off their religion, is cruel and unjust.
I agree. Really important links you’ve shared here, thanks so much.
That is right- we are a nation of immigrants. Such a shameful and cruel executive order issued by the president. On a lighter note: Finsta?!!! Teenagers are constantly outsmarting us older folks with their social media savvy abilities. I can’t keep up! Very interesting reads- I appreciate you sharing them all with us. 🙂
Great link to Mac’s (Funk) tweets! Fascinating story about Big Data Analytics in politics: elections, referendum, etc. with all the usual suspects as protagonists. And the pictures of the SeaTac protest — good job, Mac, the intrepid reporter!
We are all children of immigrants.
