QUOTES:

If I am not within, I am without.

It is not easy to find happiness in ourselves, and it is not possible to find it elsewhere.
Agnes Repplier

New Additions:

• The Social Life of Information by John Seely Brown and Paul Duguid.  Loved the title; Loved the book; but it wasn't an easy read.  Warning: the page loads slowly due to the graphics.
• We are very pleased to know that our material on Body Language comes up consistently in the top three of NorthernLight Search Engine and appears to be in the top 100 of some other major search engines - Google for one. I am also thinking of starting a new weekly short e-zine similar to Cybertips, mentioned below, with the subject matter of communications - specifically Body Language.  I would appreciate you thoughts on this.
• I get lots of other e-zines.  One that I particularly enjoy is Cybertips.  They have different topics and can be set for daily of weekly. Check them out below and I recommend trying one out.  Travel, motivation, and career are three topics that I have enjoyed on and off over the past year.  

Imagine:

To tap into both our imagination and step back and look at things from a greater perspective, take some time to answer the following question.  You can use this activity in a group setting to open up discussions as well.

There are 168 hours in a week.  In your ideal world, what would be the best distribution of these hours given the following categories.  You define what they might mean, but be careful, and watch out for your assumptions:

• sleep

• joyous work

• maintenance work

• just being

3. List three activities or persons that drain energy and draw the focus away from you ability to live the life that you desire.

4. Think about your primary needs and imagine a new and healthy way to meet one of them.
