Feedly: The Learning #2

Lately, when I open my GoogleReader (aggregator of RSS feeds... my news, blogs, etc.), I receive the message, "Just a reminder Reader will not be available after July 1, 2013. Please be sure to back up your data." I've already backed up my data to Feedly, but was having a problem getting acquainted with Feedly. It's basically due to lack of effort. I put the app on my Chrome page next to my e-mail and FB, but I still tend to want to open reader. The only way I actually learn something new on the computer is by messing around and using the new thing (Feedly). My biggest stumbling block was being completely overwhelmed by the huge list of feeds. Google Reader let me click on my separate categories and only read what I wanted to read. After playing around (for longer than I'd care to admit) I've realized that Feedly has the same function. It's the tiny lines in the upper right hand corner. Yay! I can no do everything I could with GoogleReader. Plus, the layout is more graphically appealing (Does that make sense?).

Next, I have to learn to prioritize today's activities. Although I've accomplished quite a bit this morning (bike ride, finishing and blogging about YA book, procuring copies of The Ridge for colleagues, and of course today's learning post), I haven't packed or done anything to prepare for my trip to God's Country.

Thanks for teaching me about Feedly. I'm going to try to use it.

And The Ridge also looks good. Have you read it?

Sankalpa Day 5

Today I went back to the interweb to find out what I could post about that would relate to sankalpa . "...Sankalpa has the potential to release tremendous power by clearly defining and focusing on a chosen goal." My chosen goal since May has truly been on being physically active. Since it's cold and miserable out, I've been being active inside instead of outside. December 6th (or something like that) was the last time I ventured outside for physical activity. I, however, have still been going to they gym and focusing on being physically fit (or at least burning enough calories to eat more food). Yesterday I received an early morning text from a friend in God's Country . President Obama was talking about "The President's Challenge" . Today (I tried yesterday and decided to put it off until today... forget out it... let it happen... put it aside... clear my mind of it... all probably sankalpa) I formed a group. The...

What if... The Delivery

Molly was excited to get a package from her friend who lives in Alaska. When she opened the box, she was confused. Although the shirt was actually soft and of good quality, she was upset by the guns in the flag. When she googled Holster's, it was exactly what she thought... pro-gun. She didn't know how to handle the situation, so she sent a picture stating she was confused. Her friend had obviously lost her mind. During the conversation, she kept proclaiming that she hadn't sent a t-shirt. When Molly explained it was her writing on the box, things became weird. The friend was in a state of denial. Molly even sent a text with a picture of the writing on the box. Molly's friend was adamant that she sent homemade condiments. She wouldn't give up on her story even though it was clear Molly is in possession of an NRA type t-shirt. After much deliberation, the two friends realized what had happened. The original box, wit...

Missing You

Two Sundays ago I missed church because I was out of town. Last Sunday I missed church because I could not get to church due to the marathon (blocking my path... not my running). Dad and I tried to leave early, but we did not leave early enough. I joked with Dad about the fact that they would miss me at church. When I checked my e-mail this evening, I actually had an e-mail from my pastor saying I was missed. It was a short e-mail, but it was sweet and definitely a positive part of my day.
