“Whatever failures I have known, whatever errors I have committed, whatever follies I have witnessed in public and private life, have been the consequences of action without thought.”
— Bernard Baruch. American financier and statesman.
June- Week 1- Problem Solving
“If you get stuck, get away from your desk. Take a walk, take a bath, go to sleep, make a pie, draw, listen to music, meditate, exercise; whatever you do, don't just stick there scowling at the problem. But don't make telephone calls or go to a party; if you do, other people's words will pour in where your lost words should be. Open a gap for them, create a space. Be patient.”
Hilary Mantel, British author
May Metta: Loving-kindness Week 4
“Whenever I notice something about myself I don’t like, or whenever something goes wrong in my life, I silently repeat the following phrases: This is a moment of suffering. Suffering is part of life. May I be kind to myself in this moment. May I give myself the compassion I need.”

May Metta: Loving-kindness Week 3
"When you are able to sense [the inner spaciousness] directly within yourself, it deepens. So when you appreciate something simple - a sound, a sight, a touch - when you see beauty, when you feel loving kindness toward another, sense the inner spaciousness that is the source and background to that experience".
Eckhart Tolle

Disconnect to Reconnect Week 4
“A human being is a part of the whole called by us universe, a part limited in time and space. He experiences himself, his thoughts and feeling as something separated from the rest, a kind of optical delusion of his consciousness. This delusion is a kind of prison for us, restricting us to our personal desires and to affection for a few persons nearest to us. Our task must be to free ourselves from this prison by widening our circle of compassion to embrace all living creatures and the whole of nature in its beauty.”
-Albert Einstein
Disconnect to Reconnect Week 3
“Connection gives purpose and meaning to our lives.”
-Brené Brown
Disconnect to Reconnect Week 2
“When it comes to social media, there are just times I turn off the world. Sometimes you must give yourself space to be quiet, which means you’ve got to set those phones down.”
Disconnect to Reconnect Week 1
“Go for a walk outdoors. Reconnect with the feeling of the wind blowing through your hair. Listen to the birds that live in a tree in your yard. Watch the sunset. Take time to smell the flowers that bloom in the park during the summer. The natural world is just as natural as it ever was, except there’s less of it than there was 25 years ago — and most of us don’t make a point of enjoying it often enough.”
Skye Alexander author
