Link Love

Written by Lovelyn on July 30, 2010 – 10:16 pm -

It’s late in the day but I’ve finally gotten around to putting up my link love post. Here are the interesting things going on online this week.

New Online Cooking Class - Ann Marie from Cheeseslave.com is offering an online cooking class that looks like it will be really good. I read Ann Marie’s blog and it’s full of tons of really useful information about food.  Check out the class here.

Boost Your Metabolism - Matt Stone from 180 Degree Health was interviewed on Underground Wellness Radio this week. It’s a great interview and I recommend listening to it. If you’re not an Underground Wellness fan you should definitely become one. Sean Croxton really does a great job interviewing a variety of guests. Here’s the link to the Matt Stone episode.

The Thyroid-Gut Connection - This is are really informative post on the Health Skeptic. Check it out.

Don’t Read this if you Want to be a Better Blogger - If you’re a blogger you should read this post. It’s really good. Trust me. Check it out here.

That’s it for interesting links this week. Have a great weekend. I’ll see you again next Tuesday.

It Looks Like I’m Back…

Written by Lovelyn on July 20, 2010 – 3:42 pm -

After going on hiatus from this blog for nearly a year, I’ve decided to start posting here again. I took off because posting here was starting to become a chore for me. I felt stuck when it came to thinking up new topics and I wasn’t sure about what I had to contribute anymore, but slowly during the time I took off things started to change. I’ve slowly evolved. My feelings about health and personal development have changed a bit too. I have a more clearly defined idea about what I want to do with this blog now.

There will be some changes around here. Not many, but there will be a few. I’ll be putting up a post once a week and posting a link love post every Friday. It will be good.

Boycott BP

Written by Lovelyn on May 24, 2010 – 12:22 pm -

This whole oil spill thing makes me so angry I can’t even see straight. Eleven people have died and oil continues to leak into the Gulf of Mexico. I think everyone should boycott BP. BP owned brands include Castrol, Arco, Aral, am/pm, Amoco,  Wild Bean Cafe, and  Safeway gas. If you feel too apathetic to actually boycott them here’s some motivation.

The Clouds Will Part — Encouraging Words for Trying Times

Written by Lovelyn on November 3, 2009 – 2:03 pm -

clouds parting

When I woke up this morning it was the most miserable day ever. The wind was howling, rain was pouring down and the sky was dark. “What a miserable day,” I thought, “I won’t be walking to the grocery store today.” Normally, I walk to the store and I have a few things to pick up for dinner tonight. A few minutes ago, I noticed the sun shining on me as I sat at my desk.  When I looked out the window the sun was shining and the sky was perfectly clean and blue. It looks like I will be walking to the store after all. Read more »
