Never, ever think outside the box (if you're a cat)
As the owner of two cats who sometimes, err, 'think' outside the box, this made me laugh. Creativity can be messy. Disorderly. Hard. Smelly even. The rewards, though, are oh so sweet (smelling). Enough said. (Except thanks to dear friend Roman Rollnick for passing along this cartoon.) … [Read more...] about Never, ever think outside the box (if you're a cat)

You're fine, how am I? Learning & Development Self-care
I love this comic by Dan Piraro of Bizarro comic fame.

Here's the view of a bumpy bed from four of the 8 Life Lens® perspectives. From a Carrot Life … [Read more...] about What lumps & bumps are under your pillow? Their source may surprise you
Learning from the amazing parents of twin baby boys, on their first plane ride
In case you can't read the text, the note in the bag of candy says: Hello! We're twin baby boys on our first flight & we're only 14 weeks old. We'll try to be on our best behavior but we'd like to apologize in advance just in case we lose our cool, get scared or our ears hurt. Our mom & … [Read more...] about Learning from the amazing parents of twin baby boys, on their first plane ride
"In the grand scheme of things we're all pretty much blind & deaf"
Image & text from Abstruse Goose This image pretty much says it all. We can't take it all in. Not even close. Our screen, our radar, is highly selective. Beyond what we can see, we see what we want to see. Likewise beyond what we can hear, we hear what we want to hear. Add the effects of … [Read more...] about "In the grand scheme of things we're all pretty much blind & deaf"

When it comes to learning, the curve can be steep, steep like a staircase. Sometimes it just takes a little demo to nudge us from 'I don't want to go there' to 'oh, I get it!' Like the big dog showing the orphaned pup below. Who knew going downstairs could be so tough? At least until you're … [Read more...] about Taking a page from the puppy: when you're little & lost sometimes someone's just gotta show you the way
You're fine, how am I? (Dan Piraro of Bizarro comic fame)
Creative Commons licensed on Flickr by: Gamma Man I love the Bizarro comic by Dan Piraro that has one psychic saying to another 'You're fine, how am I?' (I can't include it because it's not licensed for free public use but you can see it here, it's #8.) It throws a wrench into perspective. It … [Read more...] about You're fine, how am I?
