What if you could find a pace in your life that was both mediative and musical and also explosive and powerful? Inna Ulanova draws a great parallel to leadership and rowing and gives us a great way of thinking about how to get that balance in our lives.…https://t.co/EOUtqhhxm9

One of the things we've done recently at Reservoir is clarify the focus of our advocacy for environmental issues. I've recently taken a board seat on the Watershed Association and as a result, we are focusing our work on the world's water supply and the p…https://t.co/Gz32dyb320

Self-awareness is all about practice -- with practice it all becomes easier, even the practice. And then self-awareness -- and the ability to laugh at yourself -- becomes your normal state. Sweet!

JOY IN BEING: WE HAVE A CHOICE

My Windows desktop feeds up pictures to me during the day and this morning, as I was writing my journal before dawn, it fed me this picture of Toby Jack, who died two years ago.

Each year, on the last day of the year, I write myself a letter from the future. In it, I project my mind forward a year and described what has happened in the 365 days to come, as I imagine it. And then, a year later, I will open it and read it.

A scientist trying to find a way to measure changes in insect populations stumbled upon a clever method: counting bugs on windshields. What he found is not good news: many insect populations have declined as much as 80% in the past…https://t.co/0fELT4eA61 https://t.co/JUrxcUtyi5
