oh, and another thing...!

i read this great article regarding the importance of deep-thinking and space for our creative minds to breathe. in our ever growing reliance on technology and our subsequent addiction to immediate gratification (i.e. 'likes' on facebook & instagram, etc.), this realm for new thoughts/ideas beyond our comfort zone is becoming obsolete. absorbing what i read has lead me to want to have one day a week that is technology free, kinda' like paul mccartney and meatless monday. i'm going to make it sundays for now (though i do find this a little tricky because i often Skype with my mom on the weekend, so we will see). so far i think giving up technological distractions for 52 days of the year sounds a whole lot easier than giving up coffee at. all.  :::sheepish grin:::

 READ IT, you too may be inspired.

less is more.

though i lead a pretty wholesome existence already, here a few things to try this new year for a healthier 2013 (i saw them on a coffee mug). i'm going to start with chewing as i'm the fastest eater i know. luckily, i have the reinforcement of the memories of my mom echoing in my ear, 'chew each bite nic. 32 times, one for each tooth'. it's one of her favourite things to say :)
