A Healthy Journey: Easy Roasted Kombucha Squash →
healthyjourney:
I love roasted squash! Oh so sweet, creamy and delicious.
But sometimes these big, weirdly shaped vegetables can be a bit intimidating. Luckily, it turns out they’re way easier to prepare than they seem! So - here’s my easy 4 step approach;
1. Cut the Kombucha squash in half and take out the…

Spiritually Kee: letting go of attachments →
spirituallykee:
attachments are the main cause of suffering.
If you refer to the four noble truths the second truth is: suffering arises from attachment to desires.
to break down suffering, it is best to acknowledge what we are attached to - or what our ego is attach to and detach from this attachment.

Traveling Light - A New Friend
This week, I took my first trip with a new friend. That friend, the Osprey Porter 46 is a light weight, no wheels piece of luggage. For as long as I can remember, I have been carrying the TravelPro roll aboard style luggage. The zipper is starting to fail on the TravelPro, so I knew I would need an interim piece of luggage while I sent it off for repairs. As I looked at my schedule this week, I...

Follow Your Passions (Even if it's Not Your Job) →
If your job isn’t in the same field as your passion, keep following your passions when you have time (outside of work) and see where it leads you. Maybe it’s not meant for your passion to provide your income, but that doesn’t mean you have to squash it. It is possible for your work and life to form a healthy balance that compliments you.
Note2Self: Start Using Note2Self
I recently discovered Note2Self when browsing through the iTunes App Store. A bit of background, I am a typical road warrior spending a majority of my time either driving, in airports, or running between the two. My actual time spent at a desk is minimal. Given that lifestyle, I have been constantly searching for a voice app that was seamless to use for those moments when I was driving or just not...

Here are the five rituals that have made the biggest difference to me:
Abiding by a specific bedtime to ensure that I get 8 hours of sleep. Nothing is more critical to the way I feel every day. If I’m flying somewhere and know I’ll arrive too late to get my 8 hours, I make it a priority to make up the hours I need on the plane.
Work out as soon as I wake up. I’ve long since learned it has a...

Kouzzina
This week found me in Orlando for the IBM Retail Users Group. While there I made a point of slipping over to Kouzzina on the Disney Boardwalk for another excellent dinner at Chef Cat Cora’s restaurant. The flavor of the restaurant is Mediterranean Greek with Mississippi influences. Chef Cora’s style shows through in the menu as well as the cocktails which include an ouzo based martini and my...

Generally for offline reading, my go to application is Reeder, which I will be reviewing in the near future. For online reading however I am coming more and more to enjoy the zen like simplicity of River of News. River of News presents my RSS feeds as a...

NoteTaker HD - Why I have an iPad
It took me a while to fall in love with NoteTaker HD. As I was looking through all the note taking applications, I was already heavily involved in a different product on other platforms and that was skewing my opinions as I looked at applications like NoteTaker. Finally after several months, I still wasn’t happy in my use of the iPad with regard to spontaneous note taking, and I took another...
