Always fresh and simmered in sunshine.” ~ Oprah Winfrey When I was a kid, a typical Summer day involved me jumping on my bike after breakfast to explore; maybe I’d head over to a friend’s house or to the wooded park near my house with a group of buddies, or perhaps I’d catch up with another group to play a sport.  My friends and I would spend full days outside creating great times.  And when the sun would begin to [...]

COVID-19 Prevention:  What’s Missing in the Discussion Get vaccinated.  Wear a mask.  Wash your hands.  Avoid crowds.  Practice social distancing.  These have been, and continue to be, the main directives from the experts when it comes to COVID-19 prevention.  And for the past two years now, news and media outlets have blanketed us with precautionary messaging 24-7.  But what’s missing from the discussion on COVID-19 prevention, is the limited attention experts and pundits have given to the importance of health and wellness.

Should I Quit My Job?

2021-11-25T02:21:20+00:00

Should I Quit My Job?     The Great Resignation, a term coined by organizational psychologist, Dr. Anthony Klotz, characterizes the trend in which large numbers of employees have quit their jobs from Spring of 2021 to the present.  It’s believed that the trend is due to many factors in response to COVID-19 including burnout, being dissatisfied, lower wages and wage stagnation, being at home for an extended period of time, not wanting to return to the work space and reprioritizing one’s work life and personal life balance.
