Meditation for dummies (+ Friday links)

Happy Friday! Here's something really great to take with you into the weekend. It's a two-minute "how to meditate" video that was doing the rounds of my Facebook feed about a month ago.

I've never been able to meditate. Until now. I'm one of those people who always said, "I can't meditate. I can't switch my mind to mute." I wish someone had explained meditation to me like the little mice in this video years ago. Decades ago, even! But I guess, better late than never.

If you think you can't meditate, spend two minutes watching this now. It will change EVERYTHING for you. Failure is success! Who knew? (If you can't see the video below, watch it here).

Here are some other nice things for you to collect on the weekend:

* A calendar that blows bubbles for notifications? Yes please! * Donate your old books to charity. Buy more books for $2 each * This story about rich friends made me laugh * Shushi pins! Heart bubble-wrap! Colour clock! So many cute Japanese things here * Watercolour + edible gold cake. Are you kidding me? * Tiny objects and their Pantone chips * I want to live in this plant-filled house * This is so important! Sanitary products for homeless women * Mac 'n cheese cures the winter blues * Subway symphony: what a great idea!
