We’ve finally gotten our wiki up and running, although we haven’t stocked the pond yet. We’ll be adding in the resources and tips that you’ve posted over the next week or so, so you don’t have to go back and do it twice. Right now, we have our Home page, our Fitness page, our Personal […]

the self challenge

May 11, 2007

Some time back I referred to this Challenge, and it’s high time I elaborated on my remarks there. The Self Challenge, run by Self magazine, is a three-month program designed for fitness beginners or those coming back from a significant layoff and who want to improve their physical condition. It’s covered in the magazine extensively, […]

voices from the school of hard knocks #1: David Hayden

May 10, 2007

As Valleywag reports, David Hayden has had his share of hard knocks over the past few years. From being one of the high-flying dotcom gajillionaires, he’s been reduced to selling furniture to pay bills. He, personally, is thirty million dollars in debt. And what does he have to say about it all on his blog? The […]

  “Let me not pray to be sheltered from dangers, but to be fearless in facing them. Let me not beg for the stilling of my pain, but for the heart to conquer it.” – Rabindranath Tagore taken from No Limits Ladies (and welcome to the blogroll, ladies). :: :: :: :: :: :: :: […]

you are NOT invisible

More momo, y’all. This 24-minute sit-down may be his most powerful video yet. In it, he talks with Joanne, the woman in crisis who wrote to him (we read that letter in the last video), and helps her understand how she’s been essentially oppressing herself. Because she’s a caring, helping person, she makes herself transparent rather than […]

what’s Mom worth?

Stolen from Guy Kawasaki (welcome to the blogroll, Guy) who stole it from Reuters, who stole it from Salary.com, here’s a nifty little calculator to determine how much a mother’s work is actually worth, if you were hiring people to do all of that instead. Sure, it’s timed to make news just before Mother’s Day, […]

manifestation, the master course

Here again is momo from the momo zone, this time with a 20-minute master course on manifestation. Here, he discusses the real meaning of manifestation and what it ultimately can bring you and through you, the world at large. He goes big, he goes wide, he goes deep. To illustrate what he’s saying, he reads […]

everybody’s free (to wear sunscreen)

This is possibly the best address to a graduating class in history, and maybe one of the best speeches, period. It originally appeared as a Mary Schmich column in the Chicago Tribune called Advice, like youth, probably just wasted on the young. This dazzling video is what adding a little Baz Luhrman to that text […]

1 tip to beat procrastination (don’t read this later!)

May 3, 2007

Let’s be honest: procrastination is an important life skill, one that most of us become highly accomplished at over time, but it’s not always the most productive use of our energy (and make no mistake, it takes a LOT of energy to procrastinate). I finally began exercising in earnest when I realized one night that I’d […]

a life of crime

Shoplifting. It’s not the worst crime in the world, but as a lifestyle choice, it sucks ass pretty hard. Here, in his own words, is what the life of a professional shoplifter looks like. I am not your typical shoplifter. I look respectable. I dress cleanly and smartly, wear glasses and am in my early 40s. […]
