Sometimes it is best to set aside some time for yourself. It may seem like a long time to do something just for you but you likely will feel more efficient, relaxed, and grateful when you return to your regularly scheduled life. I find this difficult to do at times. I am laughing at my own learning [...]

I was watching Transsiberian last night and one character says to the other “It’s not about the destination, it’s about the journey.” On vacation we are often looking to just get “away”. I don’t have any problem with a vacation for vacation’s sake but traveling to truly experience another country (or even a place different from your own) [...] I took an Ashtanga yoga workshop with PJ Heffernan this weekend at Invivo in Milwaukee. I haven’t worked my body like that since before I was pregnant. It felt wonderful and awful at the same time. Today I hurt everywhere. Ashtanga is a very old traditional form of yoga with prescribed movements. A dedicated practitioner can work [...] I was walking to the elevators in the parking garage at work on Friday. I was behind a woman who entered one of the elevators and then hid in the corner where she could not be seen. It occurred to me that she was hoping to avoid eye contact so she wouldn’t have to wait [...] I recently wrote about Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) and the importance of eating locally. Many people in Milwaukee seem to be on to this idea and have a share in a local farm. However, you my not have heard about Restaurant Supported Agriculture (RSA). David Swanson is the founder of Braise Culinary School and the organizer [...] I have been buying organic produce for about 8 years now. I really think it is important to think about the kinds of chemicals we ingest and to make small choices that reduce that load even a little. However, everyone I know is trying to cut costs and it’s pretty hard to swallow (pun intended) [...] Yesterday was my birthday. It is amazing how birthdays seem to become a little less monumental in your 30′s. It’s also interesting how having a child changes your perspective. I am usually pretty excited about my birthday but this year I had to keep reminding myself that the day was significant. I went through the [...] My husband and I were talking about workplace drama at dinner this evening. Luckily, we are both pretty sheltered from most of these problems. Mostly, we hear about things second hand. However, there seem to be some people who use the workplace as their venue for expressing frustration, discontent, and personality conflicts. This has several negative [...] I recently presented at the Hispanic Professionals of Greater Milwaukee’s 5th Annual Leadership Conference. The topic was Becoming a Culturally Competent Manager. I focused on teaching skills that would help managers to successfully lead multicultural teams rather than focusing on specific skills for specific cultures. The feedback was very positive. Many people believe that to be [...] It’s that time of year again! Spring? Easter? Tax Season? College Basketball Madness? No! It’s time to sign up for your CSA! Huh? Community Supported Agriculture (CSA) shares are a great way to get locally grown fresh produce and to support your local economy. In a CSA, you sign up for a share of half share which is usually delivered [...] |
