A Volcanic Eruption of Kindness

Whatever life presents us, our response can be an expression of our compassion.

- -Sharon Salzberg- -

A Volcanic Eruption of Kindness

“I run a hotel in London. During the problems with the now infamous ash cloud, I spent the morning listening to people calling in to a radio show on London's LBC radio station to tell their stories of woe. The story that struck me the most was a call from a man named Peter who had just gotten married the previous weekend to Maz. They were due to leave for their honeymoon to the Dominican Republic but could not due to the ash cloud. When James O'Brien, the radio presenter, asked if he was upset, Peter said: 'Not at all, I've married the loveliest girl in the world whom I adore so no I'm not unhappy at all'. A little later, after numerous cancellations due to people not being able to travel, I had an idea and called the LBC station.” Read on to find out how an Icelandic volcano eruption enabled a stranger to act generously, eventually snowballing to affect others. { read more }

Tiny Superheroes: Acknowledging The Heroism of Children

Superheroes balance the forces of light and dark, rage and serenity, and the sacred and the profane within themselves and from it forge an identity that is powerful and purposeful.

- Deepak Chopra -

Tiny Superheroes: Acknowledging The Heroism of Children

How many of us have seen children tie towels around their shoulders and race around as superheroes? In just four months, Robyn Rosenberger has given 500 children battling difficult medical conditions that feeling of invincibility by making custom capes for each one. She posts stories of these Tiny Superheroes to give each child a voice and a face for their condition. These capes are more than just a piece of fabric. They tell the children and families fighting illness and disability that we know just how extraordinary they are. { read more }

Are You Humbitious Enough to Lead?

Humility and knowledge in poor clothes excel pride and ignorance in costly attire.

- William Penn -

Are You Humbitious Enough to Lead?

What is humbition? It is that particular blend of humility and ambition that drives the most successful businesspeople, and is an antidote to the arrogance that can often trip up companies and entrepreneurs. The wisest leaders are the ones "smart enough to admit that they cannot take all the credit for their success. More likely than not, what they've achieved is some combination of good fortune, great colleagueship, and the random collision of smart people and bright ideas." In this fascinating article, the co-founder of Fast Company explores the advantages and characteristics of this mode of being. He shares stories of the most humbitious leaders he's ever come across and how their approach translates into innovative practices in their companies. { read more }

A Moving Letter from Fiona Apple

You can judge a man's true character by the way he treats his fellow animals.

- Paul McCartney -

A Moving Letter from Fiona Apple

Opening up her heart to her fans or "a few thousand friends I have not met yet" in her own words, Fiona Apple lays her vulnerabilities bare in this touching and most-humane note to cancel an upcoming concert tour so she can be with her dying dog. Her words share the deep joy and dedication she feels for her most cherished companion of 14 years, Janet - a rescued pitbull who seems the embodiment of profound generosity and love. This letter is woven with fine threads of feeling that amplify our connection to all beings and remind us that all life is precious. { read more }
