The blurred lines of private companies and censorship emerged when Facebook put out a list of banned notables that they labeled as "extremists". All were white, except for Minster Louis Farrakhan, the leader of the Nation of Islam. Some cried foul. Some cheered. Others did not even bat an eye. The overall question is #censorship and free speech, and how much does this regulate our right to speak our opinion. #Facebook has had a lot of issues these past two years, and what they will be in five years will be quite interesting. However, let's take a look at the Facebook. Read full story here: http://ow.ly/VNje50uls1x …see more

Pieces like this make me crazy. I commend Carlton, an elite selective private college.  Good job and their president is wise (and I base this on personal experience with him too).   But, many non-elite small colleges have focused on careers for decades. The Chronicle seems to treat this as "new."  For decades, small non-elite colleges were criticized for not truly being liberal arts colleges because they also had a career focus in addition to a liberal arts curriculum and core.   Funny how the tables turn but the non-elites still get little recognition for decades of effort. Just as an example: consider nursing programs at liberal arts colleges.  Consider criminal justice degrees a liberal arts colleges.  Come on.  Let's give recognition where its due -- or overdue. …see more

Last week, I tweeted, “Does anyone just want to have a conference call? I’m not sure how much longer I can stare into a camera and pretend not to be multitasking. Just asking.” I was only half kidding. But, seriously: help!

Meditation. The inner peace and stillness that fills me after I meditate provides me the energy and focus I need for my day. I meditate early in the morning for anywhere from 10 minutes to 45 minutes. I use guided meditations, as well as, meditations only using my breath.

Happy holidays to all. I know not everyone will be celebrating right now but even if your year was less than you wanted it to be, a new year and new decade, even, is around the corner. A time to start anew. To work on that side project and/or business you've always dreamed of. It is a time for reflection and excitement for what could be. 2020 could be YOUR year! So I hope you all have time to enjoy, reflect and, of course, look forward. To new beginnings. xx …see more

The sign above the steel gates of Auschwitz reads "arbeit macht frei" – work sets you free. It was, of course, a chilling lie, an evil hoax. One surprising source of temporary escape inside the gates - music. Under the bleakest conditions imaginable, prisoners performed and wrote music. Watch this amazing story of Italian composer and pianist as he recovers, performs, and in some cases, finishes pieces of work composed in captivity. …see more

The goal of media is to be seen by the biggest (fill in your success metric here) audience, and the news business has always been editorialized (rigged, if you will) to benefit the publisher. Think about this...

We are all struggling (OK, most of us) with stress and anxiety and even trauma. That is true for both adults and children. That is why I created Trauma Toolboxes. And, I wrote a guide so that others can create and use them too. Try it and share what you think. They work, adapted of course, for children and adults alike; they can be tailored to meet needs, differing demographics, different contexts, different community norms. Share the link too. https://lnkd.in/eTsvm8C …see more
