The Dalai Lama tweets. Right here.


From the past week::

Cultivating a close, warm-hearted feeling for others automatically puts our mind at ease. 2:21 AM Jan 30th via web

The more we succeed in training our hearts and minds through cultivating spiritual qualities, the better our ability to cope with adversity. 2:57 AM Jan 29th via web

When we are motivated by wisdom and compassion, the results of our actions benefit everyone. 12:51 AM Jan 27th via web

Genuine love should first be directed at oneself – if we do not love ourselves, how can we love others? 2:25 AM Jan 26th via web

An affectionate disposition not only makes the mind more peaceful and calm, but it affects our body in a positive way too. 2:31 AM Jan 21st via web

Ear Candy: The Carolina Chocolate Drops

Michelle, my fellow intern at Appalachia Star this past summer, loved this song - but I never knew who it was until someone at work said I should check out the Carolina Chocolate Drops. Right they were. More here.

Maybe some day soon I'll post something besides music. Not today.

Lots of love,
Paige

Ear Candy: Jaymay

Jaymay does most of the soundtrack for Happy Thank You More Please which I saw at the Virginia Film Festival about a month ago. Loved it. In fact, the only unpleasant thing about the experience was the cringe-inducing q&a session with Josh Radnor (the screen writer/ director/ leading male who is also in How I Met Your Mother) that followed; from which many of the questions can be summed up as "I think I love you. Please discuss." yowsa.

Regardless, definitely recommend seeing HappyThankYouMorePlease when it comes out in a theater near you - which I think is happening in February. More Jaymay here.

Ear Candy: Cults

booyah.

Ear Candy: Dale Earnhardt Jr. Jr.

Charlie the Cheez-It

.... I don't think there's much I need to add to this one.

Love,
Paige

Ear Candy: The XX

Cotty put this song on a mix she made in Feb:::

Later loves,
Paige
