Good Health: Why Risk it?

Betsey Brogan | October 11, 2011 | 5 Comments

As a Massage Therapist, I have seen both sides of health. The good and the bad. Over the years, I have witnessed the effects stress has on individuals. I have learned the signs of ill-health, of dis-ease, of dis-function. The body is created to function properly within certain perimeters. It’s a perfect system. If we [...]

Risking a Walk in a Parade

Lesley Brogan | October 10, 2011 | 3 Comments

Yesterday I marched in my 8th Pride Parade. I can’t say I love doing it. To be honest, I truly wish that it wasn’t necessary. I wish there was no line (seen or imagined) that separated “us” from “them,” “gay” from “straight.” I wish… I walked with a group of 30 folks who “played a [...]

Lessons from the Scythe Tree

Debbie Kerr | October 8, 2011 | 1 Comments

In 1861, twenty-six year old James Johnson was swinging his scythe on the family farm in New York State. He was contemplating the call for citizens to enlist in the Union Army. He stopped what he was doing, went inside the farmhouse and informed his parents that he was heeding his patriotic duty to enlist. [...]

Dear Friends, I’ve chosen to take some time off from this blog. I will be with you in spirit as I read your entries and cheer you on. I will probably be taking plenty of risks, so I hope I’ll have a lot to report when I return. But, as I wrote in my last [...]

My little game

Carolyn Cook | September 23, 2011 | 1 Comments

I’m pondering another life change. I don’t know if it counts as a risk, but I think any change is inherently risky, so here goes: I’m thinking about closing in. Cutting back. Focusing. Minimizing. Simplifying for a while. If you know me, you know this is a ridiculous idea. I can’t resist opportunities for adventure, [...]

What if…

Laura Biering | September 20, 2011 | 2 Comments

As I sit before this blank screen, knowing it’s my day to contribute a post, yet not knowing what to write, I am reminded of what I tell my clients when they say they can’t think of any risks to take. “Start with looking at your day,” I say. “Is there anything that you want [...]

Today is the very first work day in my new office. After 9 years running my business from a home office, I’ve rented office space out in the “real world.” I chose an office location very close to home – just a little over 4 miles – so the commute would be minimal.I was actually [...]

Water, Water, Everywhere???

Mary Ann Taylor | September 18, 2011 | 4 Comments

I live in Central Texas and we have been experiencing a terrible drought AND temperatures which have been over 100 degrees for 85 days this summer. It has been brutal for everyone but especially for farmers whose crops are ruined and for ranchers who have had to sell their cattle because there was no grass [...]

Remembering 9/11

Betsey Brogan | September 11, 2011 | 1 Comments

I’m quite sure everyone remembers where they were on 9/11. I think it is essential that we remember, even though we may be tempted to forget. In trying to forget, it’s possible we will also forget all the goodness that has happened since that tragic day. I am sharing my story and encourage you do [...]
