Another video for you this week. This is one of my favorite songs. (I have five.) I am at work designing some marketing material and a smile grew across my face when this song came on; so I thought I would share it with you nice people since you like good things.
Writer and designer Graham Hill asks: Can having
less stuff, in less room, lead to more happiness? He makes the case for
taking up less space, and lays out three rules for editing your life.
Lately I have an issue with buying clothes... However, I am usually a less is more kind of gal. So this video is a nice little reminder. Do you need all the stuff you are surrounded with to be happy? No. Personalize your space with the few things you really love and it will become a place you love to be.
I think I set a new world record for breath holding when I watched this. It's so awesome! I am going to immediately take up sea kayaking because if I ever get to experience something like this my life would be complete. It's just so amazing. Watch the whole thing because it's all pretty neat.
Some blue whale facts:
Blue whales are the largest animals ever known to have lived on Earth.
These magnificent marine mammals rule the oceans at up to 100 feet and their tongues
alone can weigh as much as an elephant. What?!
Blue whales live in all the world's oceans occasionally swimming in small groups but usually alone or in pairs.
They are also very much endangered. So, if you want to help them out try adopting a whale for someone as a gift (instead of a star, boo) or dispose of your waste properly because pollutants are a real problem for those big guys.
This video made my week. Everyone that knows me knows that I have had a deep love for whales since I was a little girl. They are magnificent and mysterious creatures that I once heard someone describe as holding the soul of the earth. I also have a long running joke with friends about mariachi bands... This video is great.
