    Lighten Your Load

    “Living in the place you belong, with the people you love, doing the right work, on purpose.” This is how Richard Leider and David Shapiro define “the good life.” Technological advances, economic shifts, and longer life spans mean most of us will need to repeatedly reimagine our lives. In this wise and practical guide, Leider and Shapiro help you weigh all that you’re carrying, leverage what helps you live well, and let go of those burdens that merely weigh you down.

    This third edition has been thoroughly revised with new stories and practices to help you repack your four critical “bags” (place, relationship, work, and purpose); identify your gifts, passions, and values; and plan your journey, no matter where you are in life.

     

     




  • Thank You Walmart – Returning Contributions Because of Racist Remarks

    Reverse directions.

    Although Connert Media has never been a fan of Walmart because of their low wage policies, this action makes them a winner in our court.

    Walmart has asked Sen. Cindy Hyde-Smith (MS-R) for a contribution Walmart made to her campaign when she made comments about attending a hypothetical “public hanging” on November 2, 2018, near a ranch in Tupelo, Mississippi.  She even then double downed by stating that “I’d be on the front row.”[1]

    Other contributions have already been returned.[2]
