Health Care Reform for the Good of All

Well, the 2010 mid-term elections are over. And it’s still clear to me that democracies are wonderful but they suck when it comes to reaching consensus on critical issues like health care reform. Once again, the Wall Street Journal, reiterates tired, trendy phrases for many of its readers. In today’s editorial–”the ObamaCare Crossroads–we read: “In [...]

Surf Dog Makes Waves Doing What She Loves to Do

Recently I wrote a piece on doing what you like doing to find a a satisfying job and career. My main point: “follow your bliss,” as philosopher Joseph Campbell frequently wrote.

Despite all the arguments from health care experts, the “industry,” a confluence of insurance companies, providers, pharmaceutical manufacturers, medical technology companies and lobbyists, is responsible for high health care costs.

Reality In a Land of Dreams and Nightmares

I awakened the other morning while still in REM dream sleep. Although I don’t recall if my eyes opened into reality from a dream or nightmare (it could have been a mix of both), I was uncomfortable with the experience. You’ve probably experienced a similar occurrence as your alarm clock went off. You’re in a [...]

Want to Work for a Fun and Friendly Company?

Today I made a critical decision in my life. I will ONLY work for a company that is fun and friendly. I mean, life is too short to spend a third of your waking hours in an un-fun, not-so-friendly company, right? So I searched nationwide for all jobs with the word “fun” in them using [...]
