Friday Five: October 2014

I have five thoughts/ideas/things this Friday that you might want to add to your arsenal – for warmth, health, joy, serenity and inspiration. These five ideas/things have been rocking my world the past few days. I hope to make “Friday Five” (monthly feature for now) a permanent feature in my blog and possibly invite people to share their ideas too.

Traditional Medicinals Organic GingerZingiber officinale has to offer. If you love the taste of ginger, this tea is for you. It is spicy with just the right amount of bite and great for fighting all types of chills, whether they are real or perceived. It is soothing as an after or before meal drink for its ability to promote digestion. I have a cup or two just by itself and sometimes add a stronger brew to my stews and soups. I buy loads of fresh ginger, always have ginger paste and powder in my spice cabinet and also have this tea around to keep my days bright and gingery.

Walk

I celebrated a birthday recently and the only two things that I wanted to do on my day were to write and to walk. Putting one foot in front of the other is a primal need; it nourishes me deep down and fosters a true sense of joy. Mark of Daily Apple makes a moving case for walking by calling it an integral part of the human condition. He says, “Those walking genes, those urges best online casino to explore remain within us. We should honor, respect, and indulge them.”

This Photo Editor

An online photo editor called pho.to that not only performs basic functions like cropping, rotating and resizing, and correcting pictures, but also has fun filters, art effects and much more. It is fun, free, quick, and easy to use. You can download your masterpiece immediately (like I did for this post), and makes a handy little tool for bloggers, wherever you are.

Clear Clutter

Although I only manage to clear only a small area like a drawer or a cubicle in the closet, I have been consistently doing it for the last few days and the impact on my energy and wellbeing have been huge. Channels, that had not existed before, have opened up leading to new paths and delightful experiences! If you need inspiration, read this, Get Rid of Clutter and Change your life. Try it today, you have nothing to lose but clutter.

The Maptia Blog

You may have read the Maptia Manifesto and may have even signed it. I did. It is a great way to stay open to new experiences, follow your curiosity and trust your instincts. Their blog is brimming with wonderful posts like this one. You”ll learn more about the Scandinavian word Arbejdsglæde and get inspired to tell your own stories about spaces and places.

So this was my Friday roundup. What is yours? Do share. I hope to make “Friday Five” (do it once a month for now) a permanent feature in my blog and possibly invite people to share their ideas too.
