When asked by Bill Moyers “what is the meaning of life?” Joseph Campbell replied, “I don’t believe people are looking for the meaning of life as much as they are looking for the experience of being alive.” How so absolutely real is that!  After visiting India and Nepal, and being immersed in the experience of [...]

How often I am witnessing that shift!  And, I wouldn’t mind $100 for every time I’ve influenced a friend or colleague to invest in an iPad. It’s a year since the iPad came on the market.

How cool!  How delightful! How simple! How important? To be doing something you are good at and having fun and involving others in co-creating fun.  That’s participation, collaboration and engagement and playing to one’s strengths!   The New York Times is talking about Matt Harding who seems to have fun doing what he’s really good at.  [...]

What the world is calling for is much clearer than it has ever been.  We have started to think more consciously of ensuring the future for generations to come.  There is a collective ground swell to serve.  In the first decade of the 21st, the world really has changed.

Play is Vital

Thumbnail image for Play is Vital March 13, 2009 Change

You bounce on a trampolin, higher and higher; you’re on a swing pumping back and forth gaining greater momentum; you throw a frisby and leap to catch it; you run and tumble in the fresh snow; you tip-toe into the surf jumping over the waves until you dive in to finally get fully wet. You laugh, you feel exhilerated, you feel joyful and energized. It’s called play. Remember?
