This is one of the coolest videos I've seen in a long time! It just goes to show that one of the biggest ways to change the world is to change the way we choose to look at things. Thank you for the reminder....

Super Cool Bikes!
Chipsy is sick! Yes, my fat burning mobile is in the shop for awhile so I've had to get back on my bike a bit more which is great actually!
In honor of the mighty bike and my mantra - burn fat not oil, here are some of my favorites!
Bike Friday - Folding Travel bikes
New meaning to the saying, "Going Dutch"! Dutch Bikes
And finally one for the whole family! Christiania Bikes
I did see more than one of these in action while living in Sweden on a trip to Amsterdam. They are totally amazing - the woman was pregnant, had two kids, a dog, a large house plant and the groceries all in the bucket!
Woo HOO!

That fire of clear mind is in everyone, and to remove any obscuration of its clarity is the duty of all people in this time, that each one may remember and find our way again to the source of our being. - Dhyani Ywahoo

Free DELISH Magazine is Yummy!
Look out world, the ladies of Delish magazine are ready to take you on....
Delish is a free-to-the-reader online publication for women. It shares a credo with the three of its creators and that’s “Live like you mean it.”
Delish is for all women who believe that smarts go really well with devastating lipstick, a hot pair of shoes, and a set of knitting needles.
I love their first issue and best of all it's FREE! Articles range from beauty tips, fashion picks, how to become a backyard gardener, book reviews, a full DIY clutch pattern, and their favorite "Found for the Family" section with "Mamma Likey" and "Papa Likey" product picks.
