After 3 years blogging thanks to Sarah, Jochem and Thomer I guess i’ve grown out of my shell a [...]

I would like to invite you to watch "The Story of Stuff".
Have you ever wondered where all this stuff comes from…and where it goes when we throw it out?
Created by Annie Leonard (and a team…) The Story of Stuff details exactly that - how stuff travels through our system! And it presents extremely complex [...]

A long time ago, or so it seems, I heard about a lecture. And though I never attended it, I can never forget it, either.
I was visiting NY for the first time. After magical visits to Austin and Boston I found myself in Manhattan…
While waiting in a bagel shop somewhere for my friend, Motti [...]

What does real change look like? 
I drew this up to amuse myself the other day while musing on real change at the same time as writing about organisational change processes for a client…and watching/dealing with the changes thrust upon people close to me …

I actually think I first ‘created’ the doodle while working in the [...]

 The other week I posted my favourite quote at the moment "Relax - Nothing is under Control" …

The concept was simple: have the whole city turn off their lights for 1 single hour to reduce greenhouse emissions.
Well this year Earth Hour has gone GLOBAL!

I repeat:
You are not your resume!
Please repeat, out loud if necessary, like a mantra.
If you are not up for the whole spiel, You Can Find 7 Steps to Less Stressful Resume.doc Writing under Actions, below. Other people have written much nicer better things on how to be creative and not average. [...]

Woke up this morning to fresh orange juice and then spent some time picking oranges.
Highly recommend both!

 Though am saddened that the oranges are ripe so early this year.
(…some action you can take about Global Warming and caring for our Planet Earth here and here)

It has been said that you can never cross the same river twice.
And that is true…and yet…It’s also been said that "All the world’s a stage, and all the men and women merely players…"

In Israel they have a phrase "eze seret?" "what movie [is this]?" to describe when things happen in your life [...]
