Casual Fridays - Above and Beyond
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Friday, March 05, 2010
I want to send a special hank you to Daniel, the twenty-something year old miracle worker who inspired this week’s installment of Casual Fridays. Honestly, sometimes one of the most difficult parts of blogging is coming up with good ideas. It’s always amazing to me how the Holy Spirit sends me people like Daniel when I’m feeling most “brain dead” and uninspired…coincidence? I think not.

For those who stay home, here is a story from Zenit that should encourage you—even if you never officially see one single dime as a result.
The president of the Pontifical Council for the Family is stressing the importance of work done by those in the home and suggesting economic compensation for it.

Casual Fridays - Teamwork
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Friday, January 15, 2010
Every Friday, when I linger here to ponder work issues, I say a quiet prayer of thanksgiving for my most important co-worker, my husband Greg. That’s him over there, holding that ridiculously oversized cover of my new book (coming soon!). The thing is, without Greg’s support and encouragement, none of my life’s major joys and accomplishments would have been possible.
Wednesday night was the perfect... READ MORE
Resuming Routines, Grinding Gears
Posted by Danielle Bean in Just me on Monday, January 04, 2010
Have you ever learned to drive a standard transmission? You know that horrible grating, grinding sound the gears make when you shift them incorrectly? I think I heard that sound today.
It was coming from my brain.
Like many others today, I am doing my very best to make a smooth move from the relaxed holiday schedule we have enjoyed the past two weeks to one that brings all of us back to school, back... READ MORE
Required Socializing
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Friday, December 04, 2009
It’s likely that this weekend, you may have at least one work-related social function on your calendar. It appears that the first weekend of December is the official start of the office Christmas party season. While this year’s gatherings may be a bit more understated due to economic challenges, your company will still likely observe the holidays in some fashion that involves after-hours gathering....

Why We Work
Posted by Lisa Hendey in Just me on Friday, November 20, 2009
During last week’s introduction to our Casual Fridays feature, I was struck by the varied responses and comments. I so greatly appreciate your chiming in with potential topic ideas and just generally being kind and supportive of one another.
This week, before we begin diving into specific topics, I would like to pose another rather general “getting to know you” type of query. I’d love to know WHY... READ MORE
What Child is This?
Posted by Rachel Balducci in Family on Tuesday, November 17, 2009
When Henry was born, I thought we had a name picked out. Turns out, the name I like didn’t really jive with my husband. I didn’t know this until after the baby was born and I told people we were thinking about (insert name here) and then Paul kept adding “but we’re not sure.”
Eighteen hours and 10,000 baby names later, we arrived at Henry (a name that had been on the short list with every other boy... READ MORE

This morning, I had the pleasure of attending the monthly breakfast meeting for our local Catholic Professional and Business Club. The featured speaker, Enrico Hernandez, gave a fantastic talk on “Hiring Jesus of Nazareth as your Leadership Consultant”. I left the meeting enthused and inspired about putting some of Rico’s suggestions to work in my own professional life.
I have reached the point... READ MORE
