I was reunited with the teachings of the most influential yoga teacher I have ever had; Rolf Gates. Yup. Me. Yoga.

st night I received a mass mailing from Rolf about the comings and goings on his website, his blog, and where he'll be teaching next. Unfor

After receiving this email I scrolled through the blog and was reminded of many of the things about Rolf that I

But what struck me most today was Rolf's brief entry on "Love." He goes on to wr

I took pause upon reading th

I hesitate, however, to use that word "leverage." For me it has such negetive

As there is an increasing trend of the combination products companies manufacturing such products should be able to tackle the problems involved in the de

I got a call from a friend of mine who had just joined a small company as Marketing Director. After auditing the firm's marketing practices, he determined that the old company name had to go. The old name too closely resembled another firm's moniker and it was causing confusion in the marketplace. With new ownership at the firm, a change seemed to make sense.
