My friend Garrett and his friends are famous! Shorecrest High School students made a "lip-dubs" video for school spirit and it's wonderful, joyous and funny. One of the school teachers challenged is students to make a video as a class project. 4 other teachers caved to pressure and about 150 student participated.

I cannot express how moved I was by Keith's comment. The passionate plea for cooperation and health for all Americans.

This video link was waiting in my inbox this morning. I hope you find it as inspiring as I did. Even if you don't play golf, you will be moved to find the best in yourself, no matter how deeply it is buried, and bring it forward.

WOW. Joss delivers. Dollhouse is fabulous. Eliza hits it right on. Totally fascinating and captivating. From the first moment I was hooked.

My friend called me yesterday after listening to the Bob Edwards Show. He told me about a website hosted by former CNN anchor, Daryn Kagan. Fired abruptly from CNN, Daryn decided to find out what was possible; to explore what she really wanted to do with her life; to find her purpose; her reason.

Those are such cliche phrases that we sometimes forget what they are really trying to communicate. We all want to be our best. We all want to understand how we engage with the world. We all want to honor our

Our friends, the Palomino, sent this link. These photographs of children, teens and adults attending the historical inauguration celebrations for President and Mrs. Obama are stunning. The Palomino kids are here, too!

Oh my God. This is just what I needed after a long and exhausting week here in Tel Aviv. I woke up at this morning (slept in until 6:15), got a cup of coffee and this was waiting in my in box for me.

I laughed so hard I peed my pants. And it's not even 7:00 yet. What a way to start my day.

Tibet perches near the top of the world, held hostage by China. In 1959 the Dali Lama escaped this once-independent country and leads a government-in-exile. As the spiritual rule of his people, the 14th Dali Lama has not returned to his home for nearly 50 years.

A Nobel Peace Prize recipient, The Dali Lama urges a path of compassion as the means to ending war, violence and misery.
