Do you ever have those situations where you’re positive you had everything organized only to discover you forgot one main ingredient?

Yes? Well, today’s guest blog is just such an example.

I had an interview set up last week but our schedules didn’t connect. I thought I had a guest blog in  my file ready to post and discovered I didn’t!

Which takes me back to that place where I must, Always begin again.

Life does that, we get busy, think we’ve got it all under control and by the time we realize it’s too late, we need to go to Plan B.

In this case, Plan B is to share some of the fascinating finds I found yesterday at Maureen Doallas’, Writing Without Paper. On Saturday’s Maureen shares her finds from around the weberverse — and they are always unique and intriguing.

One of her finds yesterday was a link to the DRAKE Equation — a tool developed by American astronomer Frank Drake in the 1960s to calculate the number of detectable extraterrestrial civilizations that may exist in the Milky Way galaxy. It is a simple, yet fascinating view into the possibilities of how much life really might be out there beyond the Milky Way.

The other link Maureen shared yesterday that I found fascinating was to a website I’d never heard of —  Information is Beautiful. Exploring Information is Beautiful takes you on a journey into beautiful and creative visuals that present complex ideas in stunning simplicity. Do explore!

And, because I get to make this Sunday whatever I want, I’m posting the video to The Butterfly Circus I mentioned yesterday. When I first saw this short 20  minute film a few years ago I began incorporating it into the classes I taught at the homeless shelter on self-esteem. Inevitably, as people watched, someone would cry, someone would get up and walk out, someone would change their mind about something they believed was a limitation in their life. And after the film, when I asked, “What did you discover?” someone would always reply, “I’m the one limiting my thinking about what I can do.”

Enjoy!

Oh! And before I forget…. Please take a few minutes to vote for Project True at AVIVA Community Fund — my daughter will thank you, and so will I!
