• Ranchers and Farmers…living together!

  
  Crossderry Blog — Authority: 110
  Nice post here by Hass Chapman on hunter-gatherers, play & software development.   I can definitely relate to the way of working outlined.  While we were hunter-gatherers, we did take to agriculture eventually.  That move is not natural for me, though.  I’m more of a rancher than a farmer.   The ...

  Catholic Exchange — Authority: 433
  My 4-year-old old niece, who is without a doubt the most hilarious child I have ever had the pleasure of knowing, spent the night at my house last week. In the morning, she pointed out to me that half of my bed was made, but the other half wasn’t. Never one to miss a teachable moment, I told her that I sleep alone, ...

  Catholic Exchange — Authority: 433
  Eighth grade is typically a harsh year, and mine was no exception. I was not the most athletically coordinated boy, which placed me firmly at the lowest ranking of the middle school echelon. Add to that my greasy hair, braces, and oversized, thick-lens eyeglasses, and you start to get a very sorry picture. ...

  HighCallingBlogs.com — Authority: 113
  So what is a high calling anyway? Do we find it only near the baptismal font or on the missionary field? We know better. Our calling is right here, where we are. Do we see it, though?

• A Ribbon-Cutting for the Year of the Entrepreneur

  
  Catholic Exchange — Authority: 433
  This is the time of year when 2012 prediction lists abound. I am struck by how many lists have included some reference to a surge in American entrepreneurship during the next year. Entrepreneurs are clearly being counted upon to act as one of the centerpieces of America’s economic recovery. The educational and ...

• "Vocation Takes Patience"

  
  Bas bleu — Authority: 109
  I read an interesting blog post by Oliver Segovia on the Harvard Business Review last week: “ To Find Happiness, Forget About Passion .” Segovia recounts the story of a peer who was primed to pursue her passion (in this case, earning a Ph.D. in the liberal arts, which we all have been told ad nauseum is not ...

• Vocational Surfing: Would Someone Puhleeze Ride that Wave?

  
  HighCallingBlogs.com — Authority: 113
  My friend refuses to eat at TGI Friday’s for theological reasons. Work was given to us before the fall of humankind, not after. For that reason, work is a good thing, as opposed to being the cause for exclaiming some form of tgif.  When Friday rolls around, are you glad the work week is over? Or are you bummed ...

• St Antony and the Eremitical Vocation

  
  iBenedictines — Authority: 409

• Finding Purpose Beyond the Paycheck

  
  Catholic Exchange — Authority: 433
  When a book has endorsements from Cardinal Donald Wuerl, Scott Hahn, Kevin Vost, Marcus Grodi, and Mike Aquilina (to name a few!), a thumbs-up from Shane Kapler is obviously superfluous. But in the spirit of “when has that ever stopped me before?” I have to share my deep appreciation of this book. The Christians ...

• Love made visible

  
  Century Blog — Authority: 492
  Once you finally get a job, then you need to get a “real” job. Then you can expect laid-off at least once in your life. Then you have to re-tool and enter the workforce again.
