TV's Don Herbert, whom most of us know as "Mr. Wizard," died this morning of cancer. I spent countless days of my summer vacations watching this guy's show as he performed the coolest science experiments in a way that got kids really excited about discovering, analyzing, and thinking critically. Mr. Wizard laid the groundwork for my love affair with the sciences, which led me to study toxicology in college and choose a career as a lifelong geek. I hope his shows keep going on to inspire future generations of little geeks. http://www.mrwizardstudios.com/index.htm

Tired

My God I'm tired this week! Dunno if my body is trying to fight something or if I just haven't been getting enough sleep, but I feel as if I could lay down and nap for 4 hours at any given point in the day. I reeeeally hope I'm not getting sick..... Sorry to everyone I haven't called or emailed back in a timely manner.....my brain and body just feel fuzzy.

I lost all my phone numbers!

ARGH! My phone cannot be resuscitated. It will not turn on, not even for me anymore. Sooooo.....everyone here whose number I had (you know who you are!): I need your number again to program into my new phone. Can you all private message me and give it to my sorry ass? Thanks guys! I look forward to calling you all again someday :-)

A great quote

Gratitude unlocks the fullness in our life. It turns what we have into enough, and more. It turns denial into acceptance, chaos to order, confusion to clarity. It can turn a meal into a feast, a house into a home, a stranger into a friend. Gratitude makes sense of our past, brings peace for today, and creates a vision for tomorrow. " -Melody Beattie

Words of Wisdom for Today (from Daily OM) Seeing Beyond The Unknown One of humanity's biggest fears is losing what we have. It is healthy when fear of loss helps us take steps to protect what we have worked hard to attain, but it is unhealthy to continue to fear something we can do nothing about. We need to remember that focusing our energy on fear can actually create what scares us, and holding tightly to what we have keeps us from participating in the universal flow of abundance and instead creates stagnation. Since we can only really control our thoughts and our responses, gaining proper perspective may be key to conquering such fears. The letters of the word "fear" can be used to stand for "False Evidence Appearing Real." Fears of being separated from something or someone we feel we need for our security or happiness comes from a delusion-a distorted way of understanding ourselves and the world around us. When we understand that possessions are only representations of the energy at work in our lives, we can shift our attention to the right and proper place. We can stop fearing loss of money or success because when we understand how it is created, we can always create more. We can stop fearing loss of possessions when we realize that they are not the source of our joy or well-being but only icing on our cakes. And when we understand the energy of love, we need not hold anyone too close for fear of losing them for we know that love does not diminish when it is given or shared but expands beyond boundaries of time or space. By focusing our light on our fears, they are revealed as mere shadows that disappear in the presence of mind and spirit. We can choose instead to direct our thoughts and creative power toward things of true value-love, abundance, peace, passion, and joy. These are energies that are always available to us when we place ourselves confidently in the universal flow of abundance.
