Letters, We Get Letters: The Emotional Appeal of a Handwritten Letter Cannot be Replaced.

"Let me hear from thee by letters." — William Shakespeare, c. 1590One small thing that brings me a great deal of joy is receiving a letter in the mail. And I'd wager that I'm not alone in that.Amid all of the junk mail, bills, and remnants of our paper-bound society, it's remarkable how an envelope, some ink, and a specialty sticker can affect us so deeply.Do you remember…See More

Do You Believe in Magic?

I believe there is magic in you. "Any sufficiently advanced technology is indistinguishable from magic." — Arthur C. Clarke, 1968If you have the 1965 song by The Lovin' Spoonful as an earworm now, I'm sorry.But I ask the question for a reason.In trying times we need to believe in something.I'm not suggesting that magic is a stand-in for religion or other spiritual…See More

What We Look for From Leaders During a Time of Crisis

These character traits make all the differenceHurricanes are notable for their circular pattern, with an "eye" at the center that is eerily calm.In the days before satellite tracking, the eye was a welcome respite from the howling winds and rain that pummeled unfortunate victims.
