Retro Music 72

In late 1971, I heard a record on the radio that didn’t really fit into any genre. For one thing, it was eight and a half minutes long, so certainly …

Italy according to Giorgia Meloni: no country for non-traditional families | Euronews (Me: Oh so tiring as well as evil – right wingers just can’t let people live…)

The Italian Parliament is currently discussing a bill of law aiming at turning surrogacy abroad into a universal crime. If the bill is voted on, Italian citizens who go to countries where it is legal would risk reclusion and a fine.

The government is also hardening its stance towards homoparental families. Municipalities which so far granted birth certificates recognising same-sex parents, have been summoned to stop doing so.

RESPIRA

El plumier de Nenuse

Montserrat (Barcelona) by Neus Bonet i Sala

La vida está llena de piedras por el camino y muchas montañas que subir y superarte.

Unas veces te tropiezas, caes, te levantas y sigues. Otras, te caes y estás semanas sin poder levantarte por el dolor que te ha causado.

Y cuando llegas a la cima, ¿sabes qué es lo mejor? Disfrutar del momento, coger aire y respirar profundamente.

Vendrán otros senderos con piedras en las que tropezarás, pero las vistas que hay cuando llegas a la cima, seran un regalo para tu alma.

Inclusion and Diversity

Strategic Growth Insights: Unleashing Your Potential

I have always contributed to creating work environments, teams, and organizations where Inclusion and Diversity were valued and fostered.
I have written several Inclusion, Diversity, Equity, and Access (IDEA) manuals and guidelines.

Your people are your true richness, and their satisfaction, well-being, and cohesion are the recipe for your growth and success.

💡 Working Tip #5

Embracing diversity and inclusion in your organization is not just a checkbox nice to tick off; it represents a transformative commitment that paves the way for growth, success, and innovation. Cultivate an environment where individuals are valued for their diverse perspectives, experiences, and backgrounds. Commit to unleashing the full potential of your team and of each member in it, driving innovation and fostering a culture of empathy and belonging.

Call me demented from birth, but as soon as I learned to count on my fingers, life seemed way too short for all the love, experience, and writing (click here for about my books) that I hoped to cram in. By first grade, I sobbed myself to sleep after ticking off how ancient my parents would be when I was 15, then 20, and so on… Maybe that’s why I’m extra thrilled to meet people who are busting the myths about aging.
