I’m Not Selfish. I Love Myself.
This is part of a great post by Hayley Hobson on Positively Positive:
There is a radical difference between selfish and self-love.
Selfish is acting in complete disregard for others. Self-love means nurturing yourself so you are able to give back with vitality and compassion.
We’re not supposed to be self-sacrificing, are we?
It’s already difficult enough in our modern world for a woman with purpose (like me) to balance relationship, friendship, and children with our own aspirations. Don’t you think?
Get the rest here: I’m Not Selfish. I Love Myself. « Positively Positive.

The latest in the category of Fun with Maps comes from London’s Daily Mail:
A truly captivating map that shows the ancestry of everyone of the 317 million people who call the melting pot of America home can now be seen on a U.S. Census Bureau map. …
Although the 2010 census left out questions about ethnicity, this map shows how it looked in 2000, according to Upworthy.
You’ll notice that all but three of Wisconsin’s 72 counties (and, for that matter, nearly every county in states around Wisconsin) are depicted as having Germans as their largest ethnic group. One exception is Menominee County, home of the Menominee tribe. The other two are Vernon and Tremepealeau counties, which have more Norwegians than anything else.
About us Krauts, the Daily Mail says:
49,206,934 Germans
By far the largest ancestral group, stretching from coast to coast across 21st century America is German…

Are You Owned By Someone?
True dat!
As long as you are worried about what others think of you, you are owned by them. Only when you require no approval from outside yourself can you own yourself. — Neale Donald Walsch
New Beginnings At Sunrise
Captivating…
“To commemorate the 12th anniversary of the 9/11 terrorist attacks, the New York City Ballet at dawn on September 12 released a film, New Beginnings, of two of its principals dancing at sunrise on the 57th floor terrace of Four World Trade Center, now under construction in lower Manhattan. This short film captures an extraordinary and moving performance of Christopher Wheeldon’s After the Rain. It is a testament to the resilience of the human spirit, and a tribute to the future of the city that New York City Ballet calls home. The backdrop is the New York City skyline and One World Trade Center, which was formerly known as the Freedom Tower, and which, upon completion, will be the tallest skyscraper in North America, 1,776 feet high with its mast.”
The music in this clip is Spiegel Im Spiegel by Arvo Part (one of my favorites).

Slowly I began to see that many of the boxes I found myself in were of my own making. I tended to construct them, crawl in, then wonder who I could blame for putting me there. Who did this to me? I would wonder and sometimes ask aloud. That’s when I’d hear the answer: You did, Melody. You put yourself in this box. Now it’s up to you to get out. ~ Melody Beattie

The economy is …
The economy is shifting, finally. Finally for the better. That brings fresh challenges, new competitors and fresh customer demands. Time to return to the war room and tear down the old plans. Time for new thinking, new plans and new actions.

30 years ago this summer I attended the Aetna employee benefit division training school along with some of the best people I’ve met in my business career and my life.

Replace the tape with a new one
Ahhh. Good one!
Michael Brown prompted the wheels to turn last night.
And the wheels on the bus go round and round.
“The thing is, I could choose to replace the tape with a new one.”
But what tape is playing?
And what tape will be playing?
The Good Enough tune?
The Patience beat?
The Acceptance rap?
The Gratitude melody?
Or does a sharp gust of wind blow it over.
And scramble it all up.
Y. That perfect letter. The wishbone, fork in the road, empty wineglass. The question we ask over and over.
