General Discussion

I subscribe to a variety of uplifting blogs and newsletters. Every morning, I read through these and start my day in a good mood. This morning I read this article from Happify about women supporting women using mastermind groups.

The article described the excitement Miss Nigeria had for her friend in this competition, where she beat her in winning the Miss World title.

It's hard not to smile when you see that kind of support. I wanted to post something about it on this network because, that's exactly what QVWoman provides - a group of women who support one another!

Another fun tidbit from this morning's perusal of things that made me smile was this video from Growing Bolder about a spunky 100-year-old, Dorothy Turner Johnson. I loved listening to her story and seeing how intelligent and articulate she was, even at age 100. What an inspiration! (When I wen…

A friend of mine passed along an article that highlighted some big ways in which medical treatments have been tested on men, with the assumption that gender wouldn't matter. In fact, it's been found, that women have responded differently. In some cases, this discrepancy has been a matter of life and death.

Personally, I love them! I'm always so motivated on January first, especially to eat more healthfully. I think a big reason for that is because I take a break from healthy eating during the last couple of weeks of the year, enjoying the holiday season, but after OD'ing on fatty foods and rich treats, I've had enough. I look forward to getting back to structure and discipline in January, and it's always a very productive month for me.

For the past few years, I've incorporated a lot of the habits I've picked up from my Agile training into goal setting, including working in small iterations, reflecting and adapting. These practices are meant to help with project management during uncertain times, so they're especially relevant these days both in our professional and personal lives.

One of my goals is to help pass along some of these Agile practices to others and…

Hello, I just signed up on this website, it looks very interesting.

I love the simple idea of this platform, to share articles and books and generally raise our intellectual levels (Love the intellectual lounge btw. That is how I found the website, I was searching for interesting lounge chairs and this also popped up way down on page 4 or 5!!!!)

I think anyone can be intellectual, whether they are a professor or a janitor. We all have things to share and many times, we are scared to do it with our own social groups because we fear they may think we are looking down on them. or that we are behaving way above our station, or way above our actual level...what is wrong with that tell me? To aspire to be bigger and better??

I think everyone can say something intelligent, everyone has something to share that others…
