Identifying Your Core Values

May 20, 2020 by Kenna Griffin

It took me about three months to write this post. Before you judge me as the worst writer ever, know that it didn't take me three months to actually put these words on the screen.

9 Tips for More Professional Zoom Meetings

May 14, 2020 by Kenna Griffin

You may have noticed that Zoom was on my recently-released list of things I'll need to survive the summer. You may even have questioned this choice. I get it.

Savoring: What It Is and Why You Should Do It

pool work

I drove through town with my radio blaring and my windows down. It's nearing 80 degrees today in Oklahoma. I was singing and car dancing, and I didn't care one bit who saw or heard. It's the happiest I've felt in a long time, and I soaked it in. I'm taking an online class on The Science of Well-Being. I'm a personal development junkie, so when I … [Read more...]
