1) For you film buffs. 13 Los Angeles Locations Every ‘La La Land’ Fan Should Visit. The Griffith Observatory at night is absolutely beautiful.

2) Capturing Everest in VR! “The first bottom-to-top climb of Everest in virtual reality…Last spring was the first climbing season on Everest after two years of cancellations due to bad weather and safety concerns. The climbers recorded their seven-week climb in 360-degree video.” So awesome!

3) Do you know the number one most visited urban park in the States? Hint: they get about 37.5 million visitors every year.

5) “Your value is not based on your valuables…What are you doing with what you have been given?” Eleven years later, this TED talk still holds up.

6) How to Live a Life With Purpose. It starts with becoming very still.

7) This book sits on my coffee table at home. Every time I pick it up, its pages offer just what I need at that moment. The President’s Devotional is written by Joshua DuBois, who was with President Obama during his first term. It’s a collection of inspirational stories, quotes, and prayers. Given how people feel these days about the world around us, I wanted to share this book with you.

8) On a lighter and fun to eat note…Here’s How To Eat A Little Healthier This Week. Think about slicing up a bowl of fruit on Sunday to make fruit-infused water during the week. More ideas.
