The Word for Today is Inspiring

Judging by the weather of the last few days I think I can confidently say that "spring has arrived in the village".  We are in for rain and mild temps for the next few days...........ahhh Spring....so inspiring!

Speaking of inspiring....check out one of my new favourite blogs....Advanced Style by Ari Seth Cohen.

His bi-line reads,

"My name is Ari Seth Cohen the creator of Advanced Style.I roam the streets of New York looking for the most stylish and creative older folks. Respect your elders and let these ladies and gents teach you a thing or two about living life to the fullest.Advanced Style offers proof from the wise and silver-haired set that personal style advances with age.

I originally came across his ultra cool blog on the Huffington Post where he was interviewing 80 year old, Apollo dance theater legend, style icon, Jacquie "Tajah" Murdock.  The article is here and will have you realizing that it is possible to still be kicking up your heels at 80 and with style to boot.

Meditation in Schools

Fields of Red

Work in Paint & Thread

This morning as I was getting my usual dose of the Huffington Post , I noticed on the sidebar an online news conference, scheduled for Friday to launch the David Lynch Foundation's global iniative to teach one million at risk youth the value of meditation.

I am a firm believer in meditation and have personally meditated twice a day for the past five years. Sometimes I may miss a practice but very rarely. Anyway, enough about me as I'm digressing as usual. The funds for this initiative will be raised by the "Change Begins Within" benefit concert at Radio City Music Hall in New York City on April 4th. The concert will feature Paul McCartney, Ringo Starr, Eddie Veder, Moby, Sheryl Crow and Russell Simmons.

Here's an interesting clip on how meditation is helping in this Detroit school.
