27Lines Tutoring I listed my tutoring services on thumbtack to try out the site. So far, it's very cool. If you need a service, you can find someone on thumbtack to do it. They cover everything from housekeeping to website design to life coaching. If you have a skill to offer, sign up and they'll do the rest. You'll get emails when someone near you is looking for that service and you can send them a quote to get started. This is a great way to support small business and local tradesmen. Thanks for taking a look!

Every Life

My friend, Malory, started Every Life Has a Story after losing her baby girl, Janessa. I know that most of us haven't experienced such a loss, but many of us know someone who has. It would be great for you to become a fan of her page if you're on facebook and follow her blog because you never know who might stumble upon it through you. I know that she'll help a lot of grieving parents through her efforts.

Stop stuffing your face for a minute and read this...

It doesn't matter what you support. Somehow, whatever it is that you feel strongly about, reducing your meat consumption will support that. If you care about climate change, the agricultural industry contributes more harmfully to climate change than every mode of transportation combined. If you care about animal welfare, take a look at how this industry treats animals. If you care about poverty, consider what western meat consumption is doing to third world economies every time you pay $1 for your fast food burger. If you care about the depleting rain forests, think about how much of the Amazon is destroyed every year to make more room for cattle.

I'm not asking anyone to stop eating meat all together. Just stop eating so much of it. And stop supporting an industry that is so full of greed that it has lost any sense of humanity.

“Music washes away from the soul the dust of everyday life.”

Or so said the German novelist, Berthold Auerbach. I thought I would post this video. Her name is Sarah. She has amazing vocals and I really love her lyrics. The fact alone that she can play a guitar and sing at the same time makes her cooler than me. Ha! And so she more than deserves a spot in my blog.

Assalamu Alaykum



This is my favorite photo from the protest in Iran. This woman is so passionate and sincere. The look in her eyes seems to express her sadness over the conflict, while her fist clearly displays her anger and willingness to fight. She is a modern day hero.

Ma Salama!

(This photo is all over the internet, so I can't say for sure who has the rights to it. It is listed in the Flickr album of mousavi1388.)
