Resolutions – Finding a new focus – A Year dedicated to a Plant-Based diet
You’ve got to love a person who devises a plan and sticks to it. In this post, Zoe Branigan-Pipe describes how she decided to do a number of things for her health and succeeded. It is an inspirational story of success.

If the topic is food, …
Brandon Grasley shares a story and a recipe from the streets of Sault Ste. Marie
I’m not normally a fan of eggplant but I am of everything else in the recipe. This might be worth a try.

One of the most important lessons I have learned.
Sometimes inspiration comes from the seemingly strangest places until you check the place and it really shouldn’t come as a surprise. Kimberley Flood shares a story of inspiration for her personally and then extends her thinking into a classroom activity for her students.
I hope that she does try it and shares the results via her blog.

You can have a “woe is me” moment shovelling snow in -15 degree weather but all of a sudden it seems warm compared to Colleen Rose’s -30. Her class is in contact with one in California – how do you describe how cold it is so that they understand?
I won’t spoil her surprise; you’ve got to visit her blog to see it happen in a Vine video!

Aviva Dunsiger is planning some changes for her class for the new calendar year. It’s given that there are new routines every fall with a school year start but she’s about to give it a change mid-year.
What is interesting to me and I think a good illustration of how connections can work was that Aviva was challenged for her plans by a reader to her blog. The challenges are legitimate and Aviva took them on by way of reply. Such a discourse couldn’t happen over Twitter for the sake of length of conversation so what better place than a blog? This will be worth of tracking…
======
While on the topic of Aviva, I’ve got to give her a nod for mentioning a post from a few years ago from Kim Gill’s blog.
From her blog, Kim shares some of the MP3s, that were created. Enjoyable.
