FLOAT LIKE A BUTTERFLY, STING LIKE A BEE

There is such a thing as Major League Eating - and I mean beyond the hot dog affairs.  Professional competitive food eaters exist.  For instance, days ago Gideon 'The Truth' Oji kicked major kale butt.  He's champion of the World's First Kale Eating Contest.   (Should you feel like preparing for next year - work yourself up to over twenty-five and a half bowls.)   " 'I'm a health and fitness professional, and I've been on the road eating chicken, hot dogs, and all-American foods,' Oji said after hoisting the trophy."    Healthy.  Riiigghtnews

GOT WHAT IT TAKES

I have kind of an Anna Wintour girl crush.  Can't explain it quite.  (Did you see the The First Monday in May?)   Anyway, a little fun and games for you below.  (And can you tell the sweaters apart? ... Oh, you'll see what I mean.)



                                 




Principle in the type:  "You may think you don't have talents, but that is a false assumption, for we all have talents and gifts, every one of us.  The bounds of creativity extend far beyond the limits of a canvas or a sheet of paper and do not require a brush, a pen, or the keys of a piano.  Creation means bringing into existence something that did not exist before--colorful gardens, harmonious homes, family memories, flowing laughter."    Dieter F. Uchtdorf

WELCOME HOME

"...decades after he lay bleeding in a field in Vietnam worried if he would lose his leg, Lt. Col. Dale Hanson," thanked Disneyland for the healing role it played in his life.  And Disneyland honored him with "a special introduction" in it's daily Flag Retreat Ceremony.   Upon return to America after the war, and on a whim purchasing $1 'Welcome Home' tickets, Hansen spend hours on a bench in Disneyland, "enjoying the happiness," people watching, and "getting his thoughts together."    story
