Happy New Year! Now, Let’s Just DO IT!

I used to scoff a bit at the New Year’s resolutions. But no more… Everybody needs a “restart.” It’s one of the things that made high school or college so great; every year, or ever Semester, you got a do-over. But once you get into working adulthood, the do-overs are a LOT less frequent, and while [...]

Health Care Savings Could Start in the Cafeteria

A great article about how we can manage our own health care more effectively, and not only drive down the costs but also change the paradigm of what healthcare is…Starts in the Cafeteria (though it might start in the Cafeteria the week after the Holidays, not during! :)). Steven Burd isn’t a doctor or a medical [...]

The Fun Theory

Contrary to the title of this entry, I don’t think it’s a very deep or profound concept at all that people like to do things that are fun. When you’re able to take onerous chores and tasks and make them fun, everyone wins. I found this contest that the Volkswagen company is running called ‘The Fun [...]

At first she HATED running…

This story out of Sports Illustrated speaks for itself, and is touching on so many levels. Physical improvement. Accountability. Teamwork. Persistence. Heart. Patriotism. Compassion. Love.  It’s a simple story of a single act that turned into something so much bigger, and for whatever reason really touched me as I read it a second time this evening. [...]

The Nike Experiment

I love hearing various stories about what works for people’s “wellness” initiative, or what they do to get–and stay–motivated to improve themselves physically. And I’d love to hear or read some other comments from readers, so post your comments away!   Fundamentally, I do think Nike has it right as, with many things in life, it [...]

The Day Before!

Here we are, the day before the big event. Lots happened today. All the preparation moments absolutely flew by, it’s like we’re on a locomotive and can’t slow it down. But it’s all good, starting with a fabulous Diamond leadership meeting earlier today, some exceptionally run workshops this afternoon, followed by a lot of fun [...]

Yet Another Way to Live Longer

When you do a Google search for images related to the word “purpose” I don’t understand why the results pull up esoteric whispy trees in the middle of green fields, or that of a person paddling a canoe in the reflective moonlight in the middle of a widespread ocean with nary a sign of life [...]
