What Matters Now

January 6, 2010 •

Every now and then you come across a gem to share broadly with oth­ers: What Mat­ters Now, a com­pi­la­tion of great ideas by bril­liant thinkers and change agents. Agent provo­ca­teur Seth Godin has pro­duced this com­pi­la­tion and offers it as a free down­load­able ebook from his blog. He encour­ages like-minded folk who are sick and tired of the sta­tus quo to do like­wise.

Each of these big thinkers has offered up pearls of wis­dom from their life’s expe­ri­ence or their pro­fes­sional adven­tures — and some of their notions will res­onate for days after in your mind. It’s easy to con­sume: one big idea per page.

Signs of Spring

March 20, 2009 •

Daf­fodils bloom out­side my office win­dow, gen­tle rain falls, and I’m reminded that spring is almost here. It’s been a long and unusu­ally cold win­ter in Seat­tle.

My yoga teacher has been inspired by these early signs of spring. She emailed her stu­dents her poem, Emer­gence, and the pho­to­graph that inspired her to write it. Here’s a snip­pet from her poem.

Emergence

We’re blessed to have such a cre­ative teacher. Each month she shares an orig­i­nal poem and image with us, to set the theme for the month’s asanas.
