 Months ago I posted a blog on why women are so unhappy at work. I am still getting responses, even though most “older blogs” are put out to pasture by the end of the day they are conceived and birthed.
I have been thinking about why there is so much gloom and doom about getting up in the morning, going to a place where we are being asked to roll up our sleeves, produce and create, and then go home for an evening of feeling full and having been useful.

 As I was writing my Elegant Leadership blog about the poor choice of language from Michael Steele, of the Republican Party, I was reminded of a powerful scenario from a Leadership in Action program I led years ago.
There was a group of 24 business people from various organizations who gathered together for a week to understand leadership capabilities from an experiential perspective.

 We can thank Tiger Woods, John Edwards, and all the other guys who have been looking for love in all the wrong places. Or, have they?
Relationships are the most complex, most confusing, and most important part of what it means to be a human being. I am hoping that we have finally hit the wall looking at relationships through a superficial, selfish lens. Perhaps we can begin to look at what really matters in this interesting teen-decade of the century.

 I spent some time during the holidays checking out how people either crave new situations, or are almost addicted to repeating patterns from the past – New Year’s Eve is a perfect example. We were on a plane from San Francisco to Albuquerque. I could feel a sense of anticipation as we walked through the mostly empty concourse on our way to the car.
As we moved from passenger only, to the meet and greet side, I heard a lovely woman greet her husband? lover? With “I was afraid you would not get here till after the New Year started.” They still had half an hour till the bells would toll and fireworks began. I wondered if this could really make a difference for their relationship.
Then I noticed I was getting anxious. Our luggage was first off and we got the car quickly. Yet, we still would have been too late for the global peace meditation we wanted to join. So, we got in the car for the hour drive to our home outside of Santa Fe.
Interesting how patterns work. At ten before the witching hour of twelve, we started the countdown. And as the few early fireworks began to light the sky with the full blue moon as background, we pulled over to the side of the road for the hearty ritual of a goodbye kiss to 2009 and a welcoming glad you are here kiss for 2010. It felt good, and in some far corner of my mind, it really did make a difference.
