As its my intention to keep the topics and content for this blog on the ‘optimistic and fun’ side, I won’t go on a rant about one of my pet peeves, but I wanted to bring this topic up as one of the first discussion that we will file under Marine Matters.  Why marine matters?  […]

Recently I asked a business owner friend if they have implemented any wellness practices for staff in their office. She thought for a while and then reflected her frustration that the staff did not utilize the wellness benefit.  I was intrigued at this response.  Through my work in researching workplace wellness, I’d suggest that most […]

Despite the title of this post, which I admit was intended to grab your attention….did it!!
