I received the following from Marc Allen's email list ...

Dear Friends,

We know by now what it takes to succeed. We know what we need to do to have a fulfilled life. It's not difficult to understand; the answers are within us..

But we keep forgetting, over and over. We forget that every moment of life is miraculous. We forget what we know when we're inspired, and when we're planning and dreaming.

We have to keep remembering, over and over. We just need to remember a single, simple thought, or a single, simple image, in order to get back on course and keep moving toward our ever-greater expansion and fulfillment.

How I "read" the web

I recently got into RSS, and it's changed the way I keep up with my favorite websites and blogs.  Here's a 4-minute video explaining RSS in plain English.

To read my favorite RSS feeds, I use Google Reader because it's so easy, and with a click of a button I can broadcast my favorite items.  There are many ways to read your favorite "feeds" besides Google Reader and here's an article outlining 10 ways:

How I save and organize my favorite links

All links which I want to keep (and don't mind sharing with others), I use del.icio.us and tag it with words or phrases that allow me to quickly find it in the future.  Here's a great 3-minute video describing social bookmarking in plain English and highlighting del.icio.us.

I recommend del.icio.us as a way to help us collectively keep track of the best web resources.  Here's a good article about why.

In the rare cases when I need to save an entire webpage (e.g. one-time webpages like receipts, or just in case the website owner decides to move or delete that page) I use ScrapBook.  The del.icio.us version of this would be Furl (although I haven't begun to use this yet)  Here's an article describing using Furl and Del.icio.us together.
