• The Joy In Taking On “Drastic” Changes

  A beautiful, talented, under utilized, under appreciated friend said yesterday she is making “drastic changes.”  My response to that is “YAY!”  Sometimes we need to jump to rise up out of our funk.  I think a post from Dr. Bryan Schuetz says it best.  The good doctor’s post include the following (some I’ve paraphrased.)

• Having Fun Is Not Unprofessional – It Is Necessary

  Think about it.  When do you work better, when you are at ease and enjoying the day or when you are stressed and in freak out mode?  Freak out mode limits us on multiple levels from creativity to health. Levity has nothing to do with the actual job.  I enjoyed immensely working within a prison, […]

• How Your Life Is Like Social Media

• Reading List

  Reading is incredibly beneficial.  Tons of studies have been done about how much further ahead those who read, even only a few books a year, are.  Even if reading isn’t your “thing” if you have access to a computer or iPod there is really no reason you shouldn’t be empowering yourself to be one of […]
