How we are saving the world… one reader at a time

Back in December, I asked for your help to save the world. At that time, I offered you five options on where we could donate the Spring Insight holiday card budget. We explored different options all around the world from fresh water in Africa to schools in South Sudan. You have spoke, you decided that…

Time to save the world again

Ever heard the term “tikkun olam”?  Tikkun Olam is a concept in Judaism, roughly translated, it means saving the world.  Last year, I decided that instead of sending holiday cards for Spring Insight, I would donate the money I set aside for that task to a charity you helped me choose.  Based on your votes,…

Embracing change: Spring Insight

The topic of the month this month is spring in sight. As promised, I am exploring the idea of the rebirth and rejuvenation that spring offers us ever year. There is a tremendous irony to this topic falling right now. March marks the official one year mark for Spring Insight. I consider the start date…

March subject of the month: spring in sight

When I originally planned the calendar and determined that March would be the “spring in sight” month, I had no idea just how warm January and February would be. There are a number of things I love about the name Spring Insight, but easily my favorite is that it has the double usage of Spring…

Three words to describe Spring Insight in 2012

So since it is the beginning of January, it must be time for new year’s resolutions. I must admit that I have never been too much of a fan (or a completer) or resolutions, but I like the idea.  In the corporate world, you absolutely set yearly goals so why wouldn’t you set personal goals,…
