Is it really the end of September? According to our Twitter followers, I might not be the only one feeling the swiftness of September. It’s funny how no matter how hard we try to pay attention to every moment, the days and moments still fly by. And here we are again, another month is gone. Soon it will be winter and then 2011! The good news is that the rapidity of time makes it all the more valuable and a worthy cause to find the goodness in all situations. Like how Mindfulness & Psychotherapy is showing us how to do it this week and kind of like how Mentoring & Recovery is teaching us how to be more of a inner coach rather than an inner critic. It’s all of these things that show us how to live life more meaningfully that helps the moments go by just a little...

However, analysts seem to learn different lessons from this experience. Washington Post business columnist Steve Pearlstein cites numerous examples of failure and concludes, “It’s time for the business community to give up its jihad against regulation.” He says: It hardly captures the breadth and depth of these regulatory failures to say that during the Bush administration the pendulum swung a bit too far in the direction of deregulation and lax enforcement.

Who’s right? Should we be more concerned or less? Well, the statements are not inconsistent. But unlike the analysts cited in the news story, columnist Friedman uses ...
