We had the opportunity to look at “Sand” in a whole new way and explore our own “Self” in the process.
It is Valentine’s week so it feels very timely to be answering a question that was sent in from a Type 5 reader asking, “How do I stay connected with my emotions and not detach when it is important to do so? Please review my overview blog on Type 5 for background. I decided to reach out to my panel of experts…the Type 5s in my life for their input to this question. Needless to say, it was not an easy response for the majority of them, which is why this question is so powerful.
I had the opportunity to appear on Rogers Daytime TV this morning as part of the Green Connections Networking group I belong to. I wanted to link being healthy with being green and sustainable. I have been part of this great green group for over a year now and am so impressed with the personal conviction that each of us shares towards living in a more sustainable way, no matter what our business segment is. I have noticed that people who take care of themselves also have a higher propensity to make greener choices overall in life.
