Twitterfox marries Twitter and Firefox - Sun, 30 Nov 2008
I have been a rather reluctant user of Twitter because I could not find a tool that was easy enough to use. Twitter itself is so so, I wanted something easier. Along came TwitterFox which is a Firefox extension that notifies you of your friends’ status messages on Twitter.

Different shades of raw food - Sun, 09 Nov 2008
Tim at A Life Coach’s Blog has an interesting post about The Skinny Of Raw Food. The photos he has selected are reasons enough to go there but it is also a post well worth reading.

Wherever you go there you are - Thu, 23 Oct 2008
A while back I finished a book by Jon Kabat-Zinn, Wherever you go there you are - Mindfulness Mediation in Everyday Life. I love Jon’s low key style.

As I mention in Lightworker I woke up one morning and had two words ringing in my head. The first one, ochoa, is Basque and means wolf. That did not ring any bell back then but today it makes sense. I came across Finding Your Howl over at ChangeThis.
To find our howl we have to [...]
Lightworker - Sun, 21 Sep 2008

Lightworkers are people [...]
