“Marriage is those those two thousand indistinguishable conversations, chatted over two thousanads indistinguishable breakfasts, where intimacy turns like a slow wheel. How do you measure the worth of becoming that familiar to somebody —so utterly well known and so thoroughly ever-present that you become an almost invisible necessity, like air?” — Elizabeth Gilbert in Committed: A Skeptic Makes Peace with Marriage (via keeptheballrolling) (via wearethedigitalkids)

“no powerpoint slides (they are distracting from the main conversation). Assume all at the meeting have read what was sent out before. Have a discussion…talk about what is important. Have a strong board chair that can help keep order and set expectations of the other board members. Only allow a board member to call into the board meeting once a year…being present is important. the informal discussions before/after and at breaks are more important than those at the meeting itself. Always have something new to talk about…a new idea, a brainstorm…just throw it out there and get a discussion going.” —

Jeff Walker, in a comment on
