Dancing, According to the Gospels...

2012-01-20T23:30:00.000-08:00

Religious? Here's what the gospels have to say about dancing: (recently spotted while perusing the net): In the Gnostic gospel Acts of John, even Jesus danced and said to his disciples, "To the Universe belongs the dancer. He who does not dance does not know what happens." Early Christian churches carried on liturgical dancing in imitation of all their pagan contemporaries;

This is one of the better remixes I've heard of a classic song. It's definitely worth listening to, both because it's a Rolling Stones song and because it's a good track.

That's right! It's in the park, so you can dance all day and all night, and not wake up with sore ankles and knees! (OK, that last part may be a bit of an exaggeration, but we do expect any swelling to decrease by tomorrow morning and eventually, go away entirely.) (If the swelling persists, you may have one of a slew of ailments linked to swollen joints, and none of them

How to be Happier

2011-09-24T14:22:00.000-07:00

Here's some good advice about finding (and keeping) happiness. I wouldn't say it de-bunks any myths, but more, it reminds you of what you knew all along.

Now's the Time to Sieze Your Moment

2011-07-10T02:39:00.000-07:00

A good friend of mine shared an old expression he picked up from his time in the Navy. It served as motivation to most of the crew when they came to port in a foreign land. You could say the phrase serves as a call to arms for the men to make the most of their time off the boat and it just so happens to remind me of a poem I read the other day...

2011-05-18T15:46:00.000-07:00

Alluding the disturbing noise created by the hustle and bustle of an 'advanced' society is near impossible. If we even approached deafening the screech of our global nails down the universe's chalkboard, humans might begin to fathom the bliss of the universe. Hopefully, you are one of the fortunate beings to know what the experience of 'no sound' or rather, 'the absence of sound' feels like. In

Shocker! Like we didn't know this.... I don't know anyone near my age who has a land line. As he suggests, they just aren't hip anymore.... Actually, it's not about being hip though, it's about being flexible, mobile, customizable, app-able, and affordable after we have a device that matches the previously mentioned criteria (and is hip!). Maybe we are smarter consumers than those with dual land

If Everyone Hates Meetings (at Work), then Why do We Have so Many?

2010-12-13T09:36:00.000-08:00

She is a member of the 'Official Meeting Planners' board of trustees and was the youngest person ever inducted in to the 'Meeting Maker' hall of fame, at a mere 36 years, 6 months of age. I hope my friend is somehow able to get the article into her boss's line of sight, with out
