“Today’s revolutionaries look like you and me. They are in our companies. They are in our government. They start businesses. They run schools. They look ahead and say “I believe in a world way better than this one.” ~Simon Sinek What would you like to change? This is the question with which every revolution (and, [...]

Ready. Set. REINVENT!
It’s almost the new year. It’s the time where everything that didn’t work or didn’t happen this year goes in the trash and we get to start anew. I love reinvention. I love when people all around the world are on the same page; reinventing themselves to become more… to bring a fresh perspective into [...]

Stuck in a Rut in the Muck of Your Life?
Too often, we get bogged down in the daily “to-do’s” of life and forget that we were actually made for something bigger.

You know those bad days. They start with your 12-year-old sick. Then you are forced to cancel 2 days full of meetings and stay at home with her. Your agenda goes into the trash can. You are stuck at home with a dirty house, loud, barking dogs and a pile of laundry you could bury yourself [...]

20 tenets to live by
December 2009 marked my 20th year in social work. This anniversary has led me to reflect on what I’ve learned and how (I hope) I’ve matured in the profession. The idealism of my younger self has morphed into a more resolute state – there’s only so much you can do in the time you have. [...]

Dear Tchaikovsky…
“Dear Tchaikovsky, we have become best friends…” the facebook post simply read, and it moved me to tears. The status update was made by my friend’s teenage daughter who has recently begun her freshman year in an out-of-state college, over 300 miles away from home. She went there alone, two weeks after all her friends left her [...]
