This is a guest post from my good friend, Joel Sadler. Joel has recently started a really cool company, Bound, offering custom journals. Yes, you heard correctly, real paper. Read on to learn why paper is still relevant in a digital age…
I’m going to depart from the normal fare here on 28andChange and share a short meditation that I wrote after a recent Easter church service.
Here’s to trying something new…
Love without sacrifice is unproven at best. Without sacrifice, love cannot evidence itself fully. Sacrifice then is not solely hardship. It is as well an opportunity- an opportunity for love to reach its completion.
The following is an eating plan that I sent to a friend who is looking to lose weight. This friend is not highly active but wants to begin ramping up activity. My recommendations would be very similar for a highly active person looking to transition their diet.
Here’s a shopping list for someone who is transitioning to a grainless diet.

THE LIST
I’ve written before on going grainless (here and here). Since it’s become a way of life. Now that my commitment to grainlessness has passed the point of “there goes Ryan on his newest lifestyle fad”, people have stopped rolling their eyes and are starting to ask questions.
Last week, a friend who is looking to shed some weight and get back into an active lifestyle asked me to give some dietary suggestions. I passed on three docs:

In the early days of a company, cash is king. The company needs to:
There is not a lot of excess capital for “ideal” solutions.
Common wisdom is often just that for good reason. Sometimes though common wisdom isn’t really wisdom at all. Instead, it’s misperception on a large scale.
Adhering to common wisdom that is founded gets you in the game. Discovering commonly held “truths” that are really misperception, puts you in a position to win.
That’s the punchline of Moneyball, a book I recently read and thoroughly enjoyed.
Waking up in Cambodia and going to sleep in Japan = Culture Shock. If Cambodia is a developing nation, Japan is the future. Tokyo is neat, clean, well organized and ridiculously busy.
Frankly, at first, I missed Cambodia. Japan just seemed too together. Everything worked (extremely well); Nobody pestered me on the street- in fact, when I approached people to ask directions they seemed startled; and the weather was perfect (not too hot, not to cold).
