With too much to do and too much “out there” to ever read through or watch, I thought I’d narrow things a bit, as I do each month here, with a few work related things I thought you might find helpful.

Under a shade tree on the elementary school playground where my granddaughters who are 7 and 5 attend class, is a small rock garden, a bench, and this plaque. I think the words are as helpful for us at work as they are for children at school.
In that same spirit, here are a few items that crossed my desk this month that I thought you might enjoy:

I live near Glacier National Park in Montana, and last weekend when I was there with my husband, I was fortunate to see a range of wildlife including bear, moose, mountain goats, big horned sheep, and marmots, plus amazing wildflowers.

- Mindfulness is the hot topic these days at work. Is it a fad, or an important element to help us escape from drowning in busyness? Does it represent the future of work? Check out the article by Samantha Cole on the topic.

I don’t know about you, but sometimes I feel there’s too much work related information to sort through. This week, I’d like to narrow the field a bit for you with four items I thought might be helpful:
