Periodically, we publish a new multimedia slide show, reflecting on a life issue that we believe to be of general interest. The purpose is to celebrate life and to stimulate thinking and action that will improve the quality of your life and make the world a better place. Yes, we're optimistic, and you could even say, idealistic.
We also view ourselves as realistic. We agree with Scott Peck—"Life is difficult."—and we can cope with it. We believe deeply in the resilience of people and their ability to live fully by choosing well. That's the philosophy underlying all our reflections.

You will need the Flash Player to view these presentations. Each one takes slightly more than 2 minutes.
