It’s a double-edged sword, says Qasim: You want to hit the market with the best possible product, but you also need to get something out for customer feedback because “maybe people are looking for something else and your assumption is wrong. Also, a launch gives you motivation. When you delay, you lose that momentum in your head. That’s just as important as the revenue.” Learning from that experience, they launched their second model this June — on time. – Atoms
Positively Purging-I welcome your feedbacks in the comments and your likes and passing the real life wisdom on to others as I embark on this new venture of “positively purging“, as I know each of these pieces represents something…
Grandma Peaches always loved Valentine’s Day. In 2008, she enlisted two of her adult granddaughters, Rebecca and Judith, to help her craft handmade cards for all 21 of her children, grandchildren and great-grandchildren. Overcoming both frailty and dementia, Peaches sat up straight at her table and signed each card. On Feb. 14 that year, I received a call as I headed into yoga class. Grandma Peaches had left this earth. Later that day, my card arrived, carrying her final message of love. — Brenda Bernstein

Create a foyer. Even if your studio doesn’t have a dedicated entry area, it’s important to create one, Claire says, because it gives you a moment to pause and take a breath before entering your home. “If you don’t have this, I find it’s really easy to walk into your apartment and throw your coat on the couch and put your mail down on the dining table,” she says. “It also just really closes in those walls, because it makes your entire studio apartment feel like it’s the entry, as opposed to the moment after the entry.
I love the Op-Ed section of the paper. I believe we all need to write at least one letter on something we’re passionate about in our lifetime. In saying that, I applaud this reader
Kudos to cartoonist David Horsey for advocating some tough love!
I am a recovering addict and much invested in a compassionate, harm-reduction model, so this is not coming from a place of judgment or intolerance for those who are still out there using. I want people to be given the best chance to live long enough to make it to the rooms of recovery, but that does not mean being so “tolerant” that we are allowed to endanger others, and/or not be held accountable.
When I was out there using, if we got caught using on the bus, monorail or Seattle Waterfront Streetcar (that’s all the public transit there was then), we got booted off. It wasn’t tolerated. Period. And if we were confrontational about it, the cops were called, if they weren’t already on the way.
Yes, we need compassion, but not at the expense of accountability and public safety. Many of my friends in recovery got to the (Alcoholics Anonymous/Narcotics Anonymous/Crystal Meth Anonymous/Cocaine Anonymous/etc.) program through the legal system, or other forms of adversity caused by our use, and a lot of us would have died out there, had we been coddled by “compassionately” turning a blind eye.
