Six-Word Memoir Title - I've Been Tagged!

I was tagged by my friend Jenny to create a 6-word title for my memoir. Here it is:

Now I have to tag 5 more blogs. Here are the rules:

1. Write the title to your own memoir using 6 words.

3. Link to the person who tagged you.
4. Tag 5 more blogs.

I tagged these blogs:

I also decided to add 2 images for my memoir!

Dispersing seeds...and fun!

"The Bloom device is meant to be a subversive and inspirational tool for our concrete jungles. Similar to the tuft of a dandelion as the wind carries the seedling, we propose a way of dispersing seedlings with bubbles and bicycling."

Rational Simplicity - Less is More

During this economic downturn I have been hearing stories about people who can't shop at Whole Foods anymore because it's too expensive, people starting their own gardens to save money on the cost of food, etc. I've always felt that there is too much stuff in the world and that time is more important than money. I recently read a book called Rational Simplicity, Setting Course to a Simpler Life that has some great suggestions. You can read excerpts (for free!) at Google books.

The green movement seems to be a perfect fit for rational simplicity. Using less resources is good for the planet and pocketbook. But at the same time, buying "green" can be a way to assuage our feelings of guilt. I just read an article in Fast Company about a study in which people felt more justified in indulging on luxury items after giving money to charity.

Lots of food for thought. What are your thoughts?
