3 Ways to support divorced employees at work. Divorce is a common but often overlooked strain on your workforce. Here are 3 ways to support the divorced employees on your team.  The saying that, “half of all marriages end in divorce,” still holds true, according to data from the CDC.

Remembering the Star

Remembering the star. “When they saw the star, they rejoiced exceedingly with great joy.." Matthew 2:9 (ESV) One year in the fall, I had been waking up in physical pain for several nights, but far worse, in deep emotional pain. It had been more than four months since I had a horseback riding accident and broke my collarbone. Although the orthopedic doctor assured me that surgery was unnecessary and I would be back on the horse in November, I couldn’t perform the simplest physical tasks without pain. As a result, I had made no progress on several significant projects, which I thought God had called me to do! At night when I woke up, my mind often fell into progressively more profound despair. Would I be physically able to execute the plans on my December calendar, including our annual family Christmas party for 25 people and an important business trip to California that had been planned for many months? Our church was preparing to host an outdoor movie called "The Star.&quo

Tis the Season … What’s your purpose?  For your writing … your publishing … for you, as an author? How about others? We all have a purpose … sometimes it’s myopic; others, multi. I’m one of the “multis” … many items, concepts, events, and groups I care deeply about. Some that I support with my checkbook; others that get my time; others receive the value of my connections. Sometimes, all three. Purposes can change over time. Purposes can be lifelong … or they can be for a select timeframe. Purposes are fueled by commitment, faithfulness, and dedication. Purposes are a good thing. I’m sharing three of my mine below—November and December are the grateful and caring months. What is your purpose? TODAY in Colorado, it’s Colorado Gives Day.

Why Safe Driving Is Better than an Ambulance

For Immediate Release: Dateline: East Greenwich , RI Contingent action is represented by sprinkler systems, insurance, and fire alarms. They deal with a problem we sought to avoid but occurred anyway and now we have to deal with it. Preventive action is represented by fire marshals, safe wiring, and no smoking signs. They deal with stopping the causes of a future problem. So now we’re engaged in massive, expensive, inefficient, and questionable recycling efforts on a mass scale. (Many municipalities have given up on them because of the expense and lack of compliance.) Shouldn’t we be spending our money, time, and energy on vastly reducing the need for and role of plastics in our lives? And this isn’t the only instance of vast misdirection. We spend far more trying to “cure” and treat cancer than prevent it (ignoring the evidence that stopping tobacco use drives down lung cancer rates) and dealing with weight gain than preventing it (we spend billions a year on weight issues yet

Photo by Geralt via Pixabay Attract the Right Job Or Clientele: Do You Want Ideas to Make Your Website More Accessible? How much do you use your computer every single day? The chances are the answer is a lot or more than you care to admit. Typically, you will be online and  managing your business website  while also surfing the net for ideas and suggestions to ensure your business is bigger and better than ever. Considering how much time you spend on websites yourself, it’s wise to also think about how much time you spend clicking off websites that do not suit you.  For example, if you go onto a website that’s too slow, you might click off and find a better option. If you go onto websites that appear too busy, it might make you think about how your business website looks.  When you book a holiday in a new country, do you check to see whether or not the website can translate the language for you to understand it easily? If so, have you invested in translation services for your own
