I'm a pretty open minded person, but if you say "voodoo", it's easy for me to have that *one* mental picture of a poorly-wrapped doll-ish figure made with hay, with pins stuck to its general head area. I blame that on one too many horror movies during high school years.
Out of curiosity, I did a search on Squidoo for voodoo. I was quite intrigued when I saw a Squidoo lens on how to make a voodoo doll. Can we say "voodoo doll de-mystified"?! Now that I know what a proper voodoo doll really looks like (and it is apparently quite different that what I conjure up mentally!), I wonder what other paranormal lens are there on Squidoo?

Pa rum pum pum pum
Nope, not Christmas in July, just happen to see that there's a whole series of lessons (8 of them in all) that teach you about drums and drumming! Very cool! It's like little steps that guide you along without being overwhelming. Wonder if there are other lessons series on Squidoo?? Until then, check out Drums and Drumming!

Hope machine
Hope is a powerful emotion. With hope, you can battle thousand dragons; without hope, the thousand dragons will eat you alive.
Now, imagine if you can give someone hope, this powerful source of strenght, that will help them see that there is a way out of their situations. Obviously we're not talking about false hope, but hope that comes from human kindness and understanding; Hope that will change the giver and the receiver. That's what I thought about when I read A day of hope.
Hope propagates. Propagate hope.

Summertime
Ah... summertime, sun is out, weather is warm, people like to talk about summer activities like road trip, BBQ, and sometimes, they like to talk about camping.
Perhaps it's because I grew up in a concrete jungle where you have to travel substantial distance to see a patch of green, perhaps it's my previous camping experiences that were plagued by thunderstorms, torrential rains, bear attacks (ok, giant mosquitos attack)... what I'm getting at is, I'm no fan of camping. I tried to immerse myself and be one with nature, but nature and I have come to terms that I can best appreciate it by recycling and consuming in an earth-friendly fashion.
This is why when I read Camping in Luxury (iPods allowed), I can't help but wonder, "have I turned my back to camping too soon, maybe I should give it another go?". Afterall, August is around the corner, could a camping trip be in the plans? Stay tuned to find out.
