I lived in L.A. for almost 20 years and Wallyball was really popular out there. It's volleyball played indoors on a racquetball court, you play 2-on-2 or 3-on-3 and it's fast-paced, a lot of fun and a great workout. Because it's a small court, control and finesse are more important than power... a friend put it best when he said it's a cross between volleyball and billiards (!). So dinks, spins and bank shots are as important as a good slam. We play several times a week at the YMCA downtown (you …

There is more joy in giving than receiving. Every little thing we receive in life should be seen as a gift. When we feel gratitude for what is given to us, we should do our best to pay it forward to the next person in whatever ways that are within our means. Life is a constant flow of gifts and gratitude. It is not just about the "Have's" giving to the "Have not's". Everyone has something to give, be it money, time, service, or simply a small act of kindness. This group is associated with a much …

My name is Danny and I am a 27 year old person with Aspergers.

We can help each other and learn from our experiences as well have social events together. A …

The seeds for solutions are always present within the challenges we face, and the current state of affairs is no exception. The problem, as Einstein said, is that we can't solve our problems at the same level of thinking [and awareness] from which we created them. To create businesses that work in these changing times, we need to find ways to bring a deeper level of consciousness to our work. Present Company is a "conscious business" incubator ....guiding you through a more integrated, who …
