Working with grieving kids, and all the other 'gak' that finds its way into our guidance offices can take its toll on our well-being. To stay healthy and happy it's good to have fun and relaxation, other interests, new learning and just things that are totally new to our brains.
Years ago, okay, many years ago, at the University of Western Ontario, I conducted a few choirs and orchestras in my quest for a music degree (B.MusA.,19980) Small groups of musicians in small rooms. So, when I saw the attached TED presentation, my whole perspective of "conducting" was blown wide open - new learning!
The music, the scope of vision and the creativeness of Eric Whitacre are things that might help bring balance to you today.....take 15 minutes at lunch, relax, and have a look.....

If music's not your thing, www.ted.com has scads of other wonderful presentations to take you to another place in your day, as does www.YouTube.com , www.Stumbleupon.com, and my favourite, www.mls.ca
Enjoy!
