There are still too few organizations that understand the need for people to feel "at home" while "at work"
This website is meant as a source of information and inspiration to those who are interested in the enhancement of their own spirituality, in order to sustain a more gratifying relationship with themselves and others.
Acceptance and Understanding are the drivers behind my mission in life, and therefore also behind this website.
As we move toward an increasingly interdependent world, we can no longer ignore the need for upgrading these skills within ourselves. If we don't we will still remain a part of the past we came from, but we will miss out on the joy and the essence of the present, and we will surely become obsolete in the future...
Joy at Work, Work at Joy: Living and Working Mindfully Every Day (Personhood Press, 2010).
Author: Joan Marques, Ed.D.
Inspiring employees of all levels, this guide helps lay a foundation for creating a positive, uplifting attitude towards each work day by making mindful choices to be kind and supportive especially in collaborative situations. This empowering reference promotes acceptance, togetherness, interconnectedness, and mutuality as means to a happy, positive day. Each day of the year is allotted one page, providing a daily guiding thought, an action to try to accomplish, and an idea to ponder, sometimes in the form of a short story. These practical, daily steps help turn a workplace into a more joyful, gratifying, and productive space.
