Animation How to Start a Gratitude Practice and Change Your Life “When you realize there is nothing lacking, the whole world belongs to you.” -Lao Tzu Somewhere in the distant past, out here in New Zealand, I recall someone saying to me “Be grateful for small mercies.” Back in the 1950s, when I was a small girl, that meant being grateful for the simple things that made up the better part of my life. As I grew, I forgot that piece of advice that someone, probably my beautiful grandmother, gave me way back then. Like so many people in the world in 2010, troubles were crowding in on me. My American same-sex partner and I had not been able to see each other for over a year, due to both the usual constraints—American immigration law does not recognize our relationship—and the not so usual – the recession, joblessness, bankruptcy, and threatened foreclosure on our American home. In July my father died in New Zealand and it was at that point I threw in the towel. At that moment I fired off an email to the great love of my life in New York. And so we did. 1. 2.
18 courts-métrages d'animation Le film d'animation Thermostat 6 est une puissante métaphore dénonçant la situation climatique actuelle. Le scénario de ce court-métrage, des réalisatrices, Maya Av-ron, Marion Coudert, Mylène Cominotti et Sixtine Dano, est éloquent. Une famille imaginaire, confrontée à un problème de fuite, ne fait rien pour réparer son logement et va, de ce fait, finir confrontée à un véritable déluge. L'habitation symbolise la terre, la fuite, les dérèglements climatiques, et chaque membre de la famille est une caricature parlante des membres de notre société. Du Jean Foutiste au conservateur en passant par les différents acteurs de la surconsommation, chacun trouve une bonne excuse pour ne pas s'occuper du problème.

What’s On Your Gratitude List Today? We all know how focusing on the things that we’re grateful for can turn around a negative mood but have you made this a daily practice? I started my own version of this years ago in the form of The 10/10 Exercise. Each day I write at least ten things for which I’m grateful. I try to write about ten different things each day so the practice doesn’t become a rote exercise and to ensure that I notice more of the wonderful people and things in my life. After putting myself into a great mood writing about things I’m grateful for, I follow it by writing at least ten things that I want to attract into my life. These can be things I want to accomplish that day or week or bigger picture outcomes that may take longer. Today I thought I would share with you some of the many things that have appeared in my gratitude list. Be grateful if you have eyes to see these things, a nose to smell them, ears to hear them, a mouth to taste them, hands to touch them and a heart to feel them. The smell of a puppy
What Are Affirmations and How to Use Them By Remez Sasson What Are Affirmations Affirmations are sentences aimed to affect the conscious and the subconscious mind. The words composing the affirmation, automatically and involuntarily, bring up related mental images into the mind, which could inspire, energize and motivate. Repeating affirmations, and the resultant mental images, affect the subconscious mind, which in turn, influences the behavior, habits, actions and reactions. What Affirmations Do? They motivate. When and How to Repeat Affirmations 1) Devote some special times during the day for repeating them. 2) Repeat them wherever you are, and whenever you want and have the time. Before starting, ask yourself whether you really want to get what you want to affirm for. Affirm with love, faith, feeling and interest, and feel and believe that your desire has already been fulfilled. Examples Affirmations for success: It is easy and simple to achieve success. Affirmations for happiness: I am letting happiness manifest in my life.

The First Woman Photographer - Anna Atkins - Films not dead. - F.N.D Anna Atkins is said to had been the first woman to create a photograph. Initially she was trained as an English Botanist and discovered photography as a means to document botanical specimens for a scientific reference book, entitled ‘British Algae: Cyanotype Impressions’. This book subsequently became considered to be the first book to demonstrate light-senstive materials in a publication. As well as this, Aktin’s decided to use the Cyanotype process further by printing her hand-written text and illustrations through the means of this photographic process rather than using traditional letter pressing. In 1843 Atkins printed and published Part I of ‘British Algae’, which in turn established photography as an accurate medium for scientific illustration. Anna Atkins was born in Tunbridge, Kent, England in 1799. From 1843 to 1853 she worked constantly to document her large collection of seaweed, which were then released as a 12-part series.

Open Letter to Julien Blanc - HandbagMafiaHandbagMafia If you have thus far managed not to hear about this, you might want to read a summary here of what went on so you see why I’m writing this. Dear Julien, By now, I imagine you’re back home after your less than successful Australian Tour and subsequent booting out of the country. The thing is, here is Australia, we are far from perfect when it comes to any number of things but what you will have discovered is that we have a rather powerful feminist community. The wonderful Kirsty Mac, who was instrumental in stopping Blanc’s “seminars” from going ahead, which you can read about on her blog here and here. As a member of that community, I can’t help but feel a little sorry for you. What you’re doing is promoting rape culture and misogyny. You speak about women as if we are animals- “game”- for you to hunt in the “field” and talk about ways to manipulate us and control what we are thinking to get us into bed with you. You’re really quite racist and disrespectful. Credit: Chally and Nirmukta
