Time to get moving – with some Outkast!
OK — we’re in the new year. Are you ready to get moving? It’s day 4. Traffic is back to normal. Emails are coming in and the phone hasn’t stopped. What’s your motivation today? My day has started, well, frustrating. Things don’t seem any different. A week away from work just means a week farther…

When you just want to help…
You likely know the feeling. You’re afraid to turn on the news because something else happened in the world. Dallas, Orlando, Minnesota, Baton Rouge, Belgium, Syria, Turkey, the Middle East, France x3. You watch in horror, trying to make sense of it all, and feeling completely helpless. You just want to DO something. After Orlando there was a…
