End of a long week for you? Maybe a few late nights, for a variety of reasons? As we discussed earlier this week, ‘tis the season for draining your tank all the way to empty, only to judge yourself in the morning for how much is still on your plate to do, or maybe more […]
No-Fail Friday: Who loves you, baby? Read More »
This time of year can be full of highs and lows. The season itself is hectic, let alone all the end-of-semester/quarter/year work you need to manage. Some of you are hearing from business schools with decisions that impact your future, while others are still grinding on those essays or exams for January application deadlines. There’s
Morning! Hope your weekend included a few adventures and opportunities to open your mind. This quote from Carl Jung is a nice reminder that it’s easier to rely on patterns of thought we already have in place for assessing new experiences. But, if you’re present and really paying attention, you might find some new ways

This week, we definitely took a swim in the deeper end of the mindfulness pool with our conversation on the truth, and its various complexities. If you stuck around for it, I give you credit, as it wasn’t the easiest stuff to digest. But, such is the work of growing into ourselves, right? If you

They say that it can be stranger than fiction. Sometimes it hurts. Allegedly, it can also set you free. It is critically important, whenever possible, to speak it to “power.” How can one thing be and do all of this, and probably more? Even more so, how can one thing that is capable of all
Starting off the week with a little truth about the truth, a topic we’ll talk more about later this week. It’s not easy, or necessary, or – honestly – always appropriate (yes, really…). But, if you’ve ever watched the truth unveil itself in a place where it hasn’t been spoken before, you know that it is hella

If, as Socrates allegedly said, the “the unexamined life is not worth living,” then my guess is that logic would lead you to say that your life lately must be pretty worthwhile. Even more, Socrates was on trial when he said it – an exam, a test and a mental endurance challenge all in one.
This Monday may be tougher than most for some of you out there, depending on whether it was a holiday weekend for you, and if so, how big you went during it. Or maybe every weekend’s a holiday for you, and you need a little help every Monday. No judgment here – for real, though.

How’s this Friday find you? Grateful for friends, family, friends-who-are-family, full bellies and the gift of modern over-the-counter pharmaceuticals for turkey (or other) hangovers? I’m checking a few of those boxes myself this morning, so my heart is full…and so is my coffee mug. This week, our focus was – not surprisingly – on gratitude,
