Although spying joy is still easy to do if you look for it, these days it seems more challenging to really relax into the moment and let the joy we see soak down into our bones. At least, it seems a bit tougher to me.
Take yesterday, for example. After sleeping in until 7am and savoring a morning mocha, I check my email for the first time in a few days and find a heartfelt note from a friend saying she is closing the doors of her yoga center. As if that, among the daily barrage of bad news and double-digit unemployment, wasn't enough; I opened mail and found the neighborhood hardware store is also closing its doors. Driving through town I see so many more signs shouting "for lease" or "going out of business sale." It's moments like these that challenge me to remember the truth. Read more...
Het Amerikaanse tijdschrift Time heeft tien ontwikkelingen op een rijtje gezet die de wereld zullen veroveren en veranderen. Zo zijn banen het nieuwe meest waardevolle bezit (in plaats van huizen, auto’s en gadgets), is het calvinisme weer helemaal terug (wat wij Nederlanders door het succes van het tijdschrift Calvijn natuurlijk allang wisten) en doen we binnenkort onze boodschappen in ‘survival stores’.

I remember when I was in high school, looking forward to college, I thought independence from my parents, thousands of new people to meet and access to all the arts, shows and parties I could handle would make me the happiest person on the planet. I remember, years earlier, staring at the ashes of half of my family's house - the half containing my room and all my belongings.
College was good. After a while, though, it was kind of average. As for all of my possessions burning up, a year later it was only a curious fact from my past. Many researchers have found that people significantly overestimate the emotional impact of both positive and negative future events. Read more...
Walking up to the PLUSAA wheelchair factory in Leon, Nicaragua, you wouldn’t think that it is a place that changes lives every day. The floor of the workshop is concrete and peppered with cracks. Dust from the dirt courtyard outside leaves everything covered with a fine coat of brown earth. The walls are mostly bare, except for the tools that hang neatly in their place.
PLUSAA provides custom-made and fitted wheelchairs at little or no cost to people with disabilities. It is one of the few alternatives to the used, donated American wheelchairs that are sent to Nicaragua in huge quantities every year. These used wheelchairs, while donated with the best of intentions, can have negative impacts on the health and psyche of people with disabilities and often end up in wheelchair graveyards, massive areas where hundreds of broken wheelchairs find their final resting place.
