Whisper + Service + Good Feelings = Decision Making

I’ve had a few “biggie” decisions to make over the last couple of weeks (e.g., do I scale back my volunteer work because I’m completely burned out, even though I’ve made commitments? Do I spend a rather large sum of money on a new professional development opportunity?). I’ve also had a few “not-so-important” decisions to make, too (e.g., do I quit making my own green juice because, even though it’s super good for me, it’s a total pain in the ass and I just don’t have the time? Do I go ahead …

Stress and Overwhelm BE GONE! Practical Ways to Fend Off the Not-So-Bright Side of Life: Part 3 of 3

(Please read Part 1 and Part 2 of this series to further explain this somewhat odd-sounding maneuver) For the previous two weeks, we have examined the stress of the season and the overwhelm it can cause. I have suggested two different practices for you to try, both effective in detouring the despair than can overcome you. I think you're going to love this third and final exercise.

As my sister and I spent the last several days at our mom’s house, helping her mend from back surgery, we spent our evenings decompressing with ON DEMAND horror flicks. Yes, that’s right. When we need to forget about our life for a while, we turn …

2012 Awareness Lesson #5: Build Something!

Each 4th of July holiday, two of my dearest, oldest friends (Dave and Darby) invite a hundred or so people up to their lakehome in Montello, WI for a 2-3 day festival known as Buffestalo. This event is certainly one of the highlights of MY year, featuring one entire evening of live bands (followed up by a not-to-be-outdone Disco Party), independent film screenings (yes, people I know make films in their spare time) on a large, inflatable screen under the stars, ziplining (yes you read that …
