The story of Gatorade bar

I love this story of Gatorade bar that begins with even Usain Bolt filling the need of a mini snack with Skittles, that I came across in The Power of Little Ideas: A Low-Risk, High-Reward Approach to Innovation by David Robertson. That is where I learned of Sarah Robb O Hagan, author of Extreme You. Sarah has an amazing story of standing up each time she is knocked down by life. I bought the Extreme You as a gift to a friend.

Wholesome! - Organic Cinnamon Bears Snacks

If you are like Stefanie Wilder-Taylor, you might say Gummi Bears should not be Organic, for she feels "its against the law of nature". Who doesnt want to reduce corn-syrup in their intake?

Once you get the organic gummi bears, what to do with them? Make the Hundred Acre Wood, a homage to Winnie the Pooh, from Ample Hills Creamery. I wasnt aware of the little science experiement in kitchen while making honeycomb candy.

Kids dont get cancer

When I heard Aussie Michael Crossland say that he played baseball in Phoenix, Arizona, I was reminded of another great inspiration Erik WeihenMayer, author of Top of the World. I got Erik's book as a birthday gift more than a decade ago. After reading the book, I learned of another great achievement through his movie Blindsight about taking 6 blind kids on a mountain expedition.
In the meantime, Erik has gone on to more adventure with No Barriers: A Blind Man's Journey to Kayak the Grand Canyon.

Inspirational people overcome obstacles and make others confident by suporting them through unimaginable feats. Michael Crossland helps teens who dream of playing baseball in America.

Yesterday morning, I noticed that my opposite cube had a succulent planter on the top of the cabinet. There is something soothing about a succulent planter or terrarium, where there is order, in little place. Intent. A mini garden. If you see a well cared for garden, imagine a container for it. It is so becoming in scale, perfection. Most of all, there is a sense of calm and control. With white ceramic pots, the trees are the foreground but if you want the pots to have some pizazz, then these owl planters are for you.
