Teaching someone else to do something that you’re good at will give you the confidence, and other tools, you need to reach your own goals. Helping others to lead better lives is a gift of inestimable value: It enriches them, it elevates society—and it can inspire you. The “you get by giving” adage applies to the age-old practice of mentoring which can help you to sharpen your own skills; it can

By Eric HarrAMIDST the sometimes dizzying, flurrying bacchanalia of everyday life, we often overlook ourselves. We can become so mired in the minutiae -- and taking care of our loves ones, our homes, our community -- that little remains to take care of...ourselves.It's utterly important to take care of yourself each day. It keeps you healthy, balanced and infused with energy. In fact, you can be

Sometimes life is tenuous, isn't it?One moment, you're soaring along effortlessly at 25 miles an hour on your bike, breathing in the fragrant eucalyptus and picturing the faces of the people you will help by doing Ironman in two weeks.The next, you are flying over your bike, with your handlebars sheared clean off -- effectively erasing your ability to steer. After a few seconds airborne, you slam

AS MANY OF YOUR NOW KNOW, I am training to break the 9-hour barrier at the Hawaii Ironman -– to honor, and to raise funds, for marginalized women and girls around the world through the work of CARE. A friend recently sent me a video that took my already fierce dedication to CARE to another level. It has transformed my quest to raise at least $1 million for CARE from a “want” to a “need.” [View

I just read this statistic, and it left me reeling.  Malaria is an eminently preventable disease. It's breathtaking to me that there are precious children out there dying from such an easily-preventable ailment.Truly, this sad statistic makes a mockery of the notion that we value all life equally. If an American child died every month from malaria, we would be appalled. And, we would take

“Organics” have arrived. They are more popular than ever, but what exactly is organic food? How does organic farming differ from conventional farming? How does the organic labeling process work? And, what does it all mean to you, the well-intentioned consumer? You might be surprised by some of the answers.Over the past few decades, organics have moved from the “lunatic fringe” to the red carpet.

My four-year-old daughter is a lobbyist. A bonafide Washington lobbyist. And, I could not be prouder of her. In her first visit to “the hill,” Vivienne joined over 400 people from 39 states in Washington, D.C. for the national conference of CARE -- a leading global humanitarian organization -- to discuss poverty, hunger and the climate crisis with members of Congress.

I HAVE ALWAYS THOUGHT OF MYSELF AS a compassionate and charitable person. I was raised in a sheltered, upper-class environment in Marin County, California, but my parents instilled an unshakable sense of social justice in me. From an early age, I felt compelled to give a voice to those without one: whether it was a stray animal or a homeless person.Recently, I discovered a deeper, more authentic

THERE ARE PLENTY OF FACTORS motivating athletes to be fit, from the glitz and glamour of victory to the cold, hard cash. But what keeps them on track is surprisingly simple – and it can work for you, too.Dazzling athletic feats—from a quadruple toe loop in ice skating to a world-record marathon—inspire awe on two levels: first, by what top-echelon athletes can do with their bodies, and second by

On October 15, 2007, with a few unremarkable keystrokes, Kathleen Casey-Kirschling took one small step for a woman and one giant leap for a generation. Ms. Casey-Kirschling, who is widely considered to be the nation’s first Baby Boomer, became the first Boomer to file for Social Security retirement benefits.

The French poet Paul Valéry once remarked of swimming: “To plunge into water, to move one’s whole body, from head to toe, in its wild and graceful beauty; to twist about in its pure depths, this is for me a delight only comparable to love.” Mais oui! Valéry paints an exquisite picture of swimming. Chances are you either totally get what he’s saying -- or you think he’s some quixotic poet prone

“Go confidently in the direction of your dreams. Live the life you have imagined.” -- Henry David ThoreauSPORT CAN BE a metaphor for life. The thinking goes like this: By taking part in athletics, we learn to commit to a worthy endeavor, we come to understand that fear can be channeled into positive motion and we learn to push past what we thought was possible. That forces us to recalibrate

Our kids are in trouble. The epidemic of childhood obesity is fast creating a national health crisis. According to U.S. Department of Health and Human Services, roughly 15% of American children, or nearly 8 million youngsters, are overweight; that has more than doubled since the early 1970’s.
