Europeans love Chromecast too: The latest news from European retailers shows that Google’s (S GOOG) streaming stick has been selling really well, at least in some parts of Europe, since it launched on the continent two weeks ago. Some even say that the device has been met with demand that compares to Apple’s (S AAPL) iPad.
Google hasn’t released any firm Chromecast sales numbers, and a spokesperson only sent me this statement when contacted for this story:
“We’ve sold millions of Chromecasts to date, and we hope to replicate that success in Europe.”

I’ve discovered over time and serious practice, the middle of these two ranges is where I’m best to make choices, create momentum and commit to things— The totally broken me, or the on fire me— neither are super sustainable for long periods of time.
The gentle middle– it’s where I belong and live the most effective life possible.
