Before I get into the fabulous and interesting health- and food-related reads I have been enjoying thanks to Google, I wanted to add a note on yesterday's Inspiration post. Yesterday, in addition to hooping up a storm, writing, and then enjoying the of hoopers and writers who have arrived, I also watched Coco Before Chanel. This is partly what prompted me to write about art and inspiration because this French film was absolutely beautiful to experience. It was visually gorgeous, and I thought the story of fashion designer Coco Chanel's life when she was simply Gabrielle was well-told. Also, watching a movie spoken in a different language is always refreshing and fun, especially if that language is French. What's more, the movie stars Audrey Tautou. All that to say . . . this movie is a work of art (at least, I think so).Okay, enough gushing. I keep coming across some interesting internet reads (and, in some cases, watches, if that's a word in this context), so I wanted to share my favorites with you.
- Health Lessons From "The Wizard of Oz" -- This is just plain neat! Who's a Garland lover? Now she helps you sleep (among other things).
- "Eat, Pray, Love" trailer -- I didn't know they were making a film out of Gilbert's book. Julia Roberts stars.
- How Bad Habits Create Boring Stories -- From one of my favorite writers and bloggers, Don Miller.
- The Rise and Benefits of Mindfulness -- How could I not pull a story from The Huff Post? Plus, this article discusses the positive results of being present.
- The #1 Habit of Highly Creative People -- Can you guess what it is? This ZenHabits post discusses the importance of solitude in the creative process.
- House Unveils Child Nutrition Legislation -- There is little to no information in this newsbite regarding the particulars of such legislation. I'm intrigued, but want to know more. Has anybody heard anything on this?
Don't forget that Father's Day is next Sunday, June 20 (really, I haven't mucked up the dates this time). In honor of dads, Love Street Living Foods is offering a discount on special father-friendly items like blenders that rival the almighty Vita-Mix.
