I love meeting people.

I can usually find anything to get into a conversation with a new person. I often hang out in the back corner of the Hermitage Panera Bread writing for my payed blogging gig, The Fun Times Guide to Living Green, or working on various things for my home-based business with Arbonne International.

Today as I set there at Panera, I noticed a man at a table near me admiring all the stickers that adorn the lid of my laptop. (Ok, so really they’re actually holding the cheap thing together, but he didn’t know that…)

We got to talking about my stickers, then about the little-known secret of how to get free coffee for life at any Panera, and then the conversation moved to blogging.

We talked about SEO, monetizing, yada, yada, yada.

It even turned into a cool impromptu business meeting once he asked, “So all you do is blog?”. Come to find out this electrical components salesman is super into health and wellness.

He was excited to be gifted with a sample of my company’s pure, safe, and beneficial anti-aging shave system for men and anti-aging skin care for women (for his wife).

I love meeting new people. Some people think it’s difficult, but all you have to do is open your eyes…people are often times looking for someone to connect with.

• @brittneyg lmao, i’ve been thinking the same thing all day! #

• Making a saturday morning coffee run. mmm… #

• Holy crap! Arkansas stuns LSU after 3OT’s in death valley! #
• Two words: AUGUST RUSH! #

Lao Tzu, a taoist father, once said, “Music in the soul can be heard by the universe”.

If you don’t understand what that means, going to see August Rush will help immensely. The wife, mother-in-law, bro-in-law, and I all took in a matinée of this movie today, and all I can say is WOW!

It’s one of the best movies I’ve seen in a long time!

If, like me, you find yourself moved in profound ways by music–not necessarily so much by lyrics (which are just icing on the cake to me)–you’ll love this flick. You’ll love it anyway mind you, but it will especially resonate with those who do not merely listen to the music, but find themselves whisked away into it.

My favorite line of the movie was between Robin Williams (Wizard) and Freddie Highmore (August Rush):

August: “It’s [the music inside him] like someone’s calling out to me. Can only some of us hear it?”
Wizard: “Only some of us are listening.”

and…

Wizard: “You know what music is? Harmonic connection between all living beings.”

Good stuff.

Here’s the image in an email the downtown Nashville YMCA sent out to their members earlier today:

I’m not a member of the YMCA (I train at Graves’ Fitness Center in Mt. Juliet), but a friend who is a member there forwarded this email to me this morning.

As for me, I think it’s pretty funny, but I wonder if the YMCA’s vegetarian members or PETA advocates will be offended?

What do you think?
