• Create a meditation space at home. I'm in love with this idea so often when things are out of sight they're also out of mind for me. This is a great way to be intentional about meditiating.
• I have not yet tried out the focus wheel for myself but I feel inspired just by thinking about it
• 8 incredible archaeological finds that probably weren't in your history textbooks is so freaking cool
• The science of why you should spend your money on experiences not things is a really interesting read
• This fascinating article on Herbs for labor: marijuana has my mind doing fireworks

I absolutely love keeping track of interesting things I find & my daily gratitude journaling. Practicing gratitude really does help you focus on the good. Life can truely be magical!

• Soul mates vs. soul connection. Holy crap grab your hat because you're about to be blown away!:
  "A soul mate is a person you have a soul connection with whom you decide to interact with on a permanent or semi-permanent basis"
