Wow, this post is mammoth, but @hopehuggs lays down a lot of great ethical advice and insight. @hopehuggs explains that every person has the ability to follow good and bad choices. One change can make a big difference. We can all make changes that will impact the peace of others and ourselves.

HomeBrewing - HOW TO TASTE AND EVALUATE A BEER

https://steemit.com/beer/@imperfect-one/homebrewing-how-to-taste-and-evaluate-a-beer

Author: @imperfect-one

Curator: @lturner

-=- Much like fine wine tasting, there is an art to evaluating beer.

@imperfect-one gives a fascinating overview of how to taste and describe different beers based off a more extensive (and handily linked) guide published to aid beer judges in their craft.

The included visual chart on how to separate and identify the nuances of flavor is worth a click all by itself and the rest of the article is well-written and enjoyable.

After reading, I was even interested in doing some taste testing and I don't drink beer! -=-

T. G. I. P. S. F. Another one in the books

https://steemit.com/steemsilvergold/@raybrockman/t-g-i-p-s-f-another-one-in-the-books

Author: @raybrockman

Curator: @ellicia

-=- This post contained two of my favorite things, coins and humor.

To know that such coins are floating around at pawn shops, makes me want to check out my local shops, and up my collecting game.

These coins are fascinating, and I think any coin collector out there will appreciate these finds, prices, and the comical story that is told throughout!

Congratulations on the the awesome finds, and for outwitting your wife, @raybrockman! Well done! -=-

Finding Happiness #10 😃 (HOW TO MAKE THE RIGHT DECISION ALWAYS)

https://steemit.com/happy/@kingbach/finding-happiness-10-how-to-make-the-right-decision-always

Author: @kingbach

Curator: @ellicia

-=- Oh, the dreaded decision making.

It's a cloud that hovers all of us. Whether it's making the decision, regretting the decision, learning from the decision, or being thankful for the decision, we all know it well.

When it comes down to it, decisions are kind of everything. They generally determine some sort of fate.

This post has some very useful tips for making decisions, and even if you already know the material, a nice reminder is always good.

Thanks, @kingbach! I will actually be utilizing this advice in the very near future! -=-

I KNOW WHY THE CAGED BIRD DO NOT SING

https://steemit.com/writing/@tolarnee/i-know-why-the-caged-bird-do-not-sing

Author: @tolarnee

Curator: @bethalea

-=- This is an incredibly moving piece concerning depression and even more, depression in Africa.

We can all stand to learn something from this beautiful, poetic author. Look:

“We are caged by the society and traditions and people's impressions so much that we cannot even voice out when we are about to breathe our last because they have choked us.”

Read. If you can’t identify with her words then you know someone who can and who does.

Thank you for sharing this with us @tolarnee. Much love. -=-
