I believe that the more you are grateful for the things in your life, the more opportunities you’ll have to be grateful! In other words, through your own appreciation of what you do have, you invite more of it into your life. The opposite is also true, the more you find to complain about, the more...

I’ve been reflecting a little more on the silence issue since it came up in the teleconference on Sunday. Some instructors are still having difficulty feeling comfortable not saying something for much longer than 30-60 seconds. If your students are so used to non-stop talking, it might take a little...

We reach into our medicine cabinets, pop some pills, and “get back out there.” But are we really doing ourselves a service? Can we actually be inadvertently putting ourselves at risk? Turns out, maybe so. Non-steroidal...
