My heart wouldn’t rest as I struggled with overwhelm at the multiple commitments on my plate: a talk to prepare, to be given in three weeks in San Diego, a mini- book I’m still writing and want to publish within a month, preparation of the affiliated on-line learning environment, and three new three

Last week, a new hike, and incredible new views of familiar terrain, still induced awe. The air was crisp, a preview to the fall certain to arri

Just like with a business plan, I then set about creating the strategies and implementing the actions to support that growth.One of the

It's monday morning. You're bright eyed and bushy tailed. (Oh, no, that's the squirrel outside my window.) You're barely mobile, slowing shuffling every square inch of the sole of your shoes evenly on the ground...(extreme cooperation with gravity.) Monday...Monday....(think Mamas and Papas)..catchy
