The Strange History of the Sunflower
You may not think that there is much to know about the sunflower. After all, the plant is virtually everywhere. Yet it has something more than a simple, straightforward history and is more of a globe trotter than you may imagine. Its story has the historical and continental sweep of a Hollywood epic, from the pre-European Americas to Tsarist Russia and back again. Sunflowers originate from North America but would travel to the Old World and back – and back again - in their centuries old journey to become the plant we know today. It has been suggested that the sunflower was even domesticated before corn. Yet no one would have guessed what the future of the sunflower held – and the travels it would endure. As today, the sunflower seed was cracked and snacked on - something you can eat between meals without ruining your appetite - albeit a much healthier snack than many we eat today. Russia was awash with the giant flowers, growing over two million acres a year. That’s right.

100 Ways You Can Start Loving Yourself Right&160;Now ... - StumbleUpon
Radical Self Love is a big topic. Kind of daunting, actually. If you want to delve into it, where do you begin? Here are some ideas. Make lists of reasons why you love yourself… & write down (or keep mental lists) of the compliments other people give you. Reach out to others… …& do it regularly. Think of a way you could make your life easier — then do it. Change the way you think about food. Stretch in the mornings. Really listen to people when they are speaking. Have media black-out days. Have that “awkward” conversation. Read through the results when you search Tumblr for “love yourself”… & be proud at the way this generation — YOUR GENERATION — is shaping up. Ask for help. Know that you are good enough ALL THE TIME. Find a mantra & hold it close. Print out Sark’s picture & stick it in your Radical Self Love Bible. Do your very, very best to stop judging people. Explore your sexuality. Express love in as many ways as you can. Wear sequins. Take a bubblebath wearing a tiara. Run away.

Nurse reveals the top 5 regrets people make on their deathbed | Arise India Forum - Dispel illusion and hatred..establish truth!!
Author: Bronnie Ware For many years I worked in palliative care. My patients were those who had gone home to die. Some incredibly special times were shared. I was with them for the last three to twelve weeks of their lives. People grow a lot when they are faced with their own mortality. I learnt never to underestimate someone’s capacity for growth. When questioned about any regrets they had or anything they would do differently, common themes surfaced again and again. 1. It is very important to try and honour at least some of your dreams along the way. 2. By simplifying your lifestyle and making conscious choices along the way, it is possible to not need the income that you think you do. 3. We cannot control the reactions of others. 4. It is common for anyone in a busy lifestyle to let friendships slip. 5. Life is a choice. Source: This article originated from blog of author Bronnie Ware at
