1. Galerie Beaucoop stumbled across this on twitter. They're on facebook too. Love the name, logo and the beautiful artwork; a prime example of amazing artists making Nova Scotia their home.
2. #MakeAMovieCanadian best hashtag on twitter, ever, with some hilarious movie titles that came from it. Nice example of how 'community art' is perhaps being expanded by the internet and social media: I just checked on twitter and people are STILL posting Canadianized titles. Love it. Makes me feel like everyone on twitter had a chance to play a big fun word game together.
3. "Fighting for the small-town mall". Article in Saturday's Herald. I love the thought that someone with development experience is brainstorming ways to breathe life into small rural malls.
4. The Spritual Room. What a great site with a lot of nice articles. I stumbled across this after reading this great article: "Do You Automatically Accept Authority?" by Nicole Leigh West
5. Assorted Teal Swan (formerly Teal Scott) videos. This one on raising one's frequency, this one on how to ground yourself, and this past week's video, Spirituality 3.0, The Path of Choice.
6. "What Now?" this essay on surviving scams. I think I may be nearing the end of things to read online about sociopaths. I also found this site and its forums: Psychopath Free comforting if only to know that there are plenty of other people out there who have been manipulated by people lacking conscience.
7. My conscience. In the process of going through the events that led to my big research session on sociopathy, I pinpointed a couple instances where I ignored my conscience and kept mum about some f-ed up things I was witnessing, thus switching into the role of the 'apath' in this article on sociopathy/empathy/apathy that I like so much. In doing so I learned a "Life Lesson"! Aha, yes, I borrowed Oprah's 'favourite things' phrase and now I'm blogging my first Life Lesson.
This Life Lesson is: if you ignore your conscience in favour of protecting money you were afraid of losing, don't be surprised if the dollars you were trying to cling to gets swept away from you, with a bunch of their friends, by a tornado of bullshit, leaving you with a colossal mess to clean up.
Lesson learned, sorry conscience, I'll never ignore you again. Brings me to
Life Lesson #2: when deciding to listen to your conscience or the promises of someone, or some group, who could either be permanently, or temporarily without one, I highly recommend listening to your conscience.
Wouldn't it be awesome if everyone started calling out everyone else on their bullshit and corruption as it arises! Then perhaps that 4% of people among us who have no conscience could be stopped from climbing up ladders of success in politics and corporations! Human Society could turn on a dime!
