Walking into surprising solutions
February 5th, 2010 Tags: culver, endorphins, health, procrastination, productivity, time management, walkingAs an avid runner, I know that physical activity, of any kind, stimulates centers in our brain that allow for creative thought and increased positive mood.

What are you hanging on to?
January 31st, 2010 Tags: culver, lists, organization, priorities, time managementI love my time management tools. OK ‘love’ is a bit strong, but I do love the way they organize, detail, share and keep track of what I need to work on.

What scares you?
January 10th, 2010 Tags: fear, growth, leadership, new year, resolutionsI started on my goals in December with the usual trepidation. Part of me always resists the rote nature of writing goals: making a list and trying to stretch my boundaries but be realistic. and then I had a new thought.
When I plan an adventure trip there is always a wonderful buzz of excitement, followed [...]
It’s been a great year.
January 6th, 2010 Tags: best, goals, reflections, resolutionsI’m spending some time looking backwards this week instead of rushing into new goals and that ‘R’ word we think about at New Years. Here are my best pics from 2009. What do you think?
