It’s Leap Day! What better occasion to take the opportunity to be in the present moment? You won’t get this date again for four years, and of course, you’ll never get exactly this one again, ever. Aside from special dates, today’s quote is one we can take with us every day, not only as we speak ourselves […]

You’ve been waiting all week and it’s finally here. Happy Friday, and all the great things that come with it! Speaking of, waiting was our topic of conversation earlier this week — specifically, the art of waiting for additional information when you really just want to be planning. Been there? Me too. Uncertainty can be

Does anyone out there like waiting? I can’t see you, but I’m guessing no hands are going up. Unless, of course, you confused waiting with procrastinating. That practice tends to have a few more fans.

We’re starting off this weekend with a little extra credit. Just kidding – there are no grades in mindfulness! You’re such an MBA. But seriously, did you notice anything interesting about this week’s earlier post? Maybe a little something tucked away inside it, just as snug as a baby in a king cake?
