Beautiful. What a powerful way to communicate so much about your agency's mission and workplace culture as shared by your employees.

You never know when life will give you a little shake-up. While the #earthquake of 2024 may have subtly rearranged some furniture or paperwork, it's a good time to check on the infrastructure. As an #actuary, infrastructure means your #pension & #OPEB plans. It's a good time to review that investment policy, funding policy and other issues to ensure you don't have a catastrophic event. #shakennotstirred

As rural economic developers, how do we share our stories? How do we let people know of the wonderful quality of life, careers, and opportunities available in our small communities? How do we elevate how people see us? Our "Why York County" videos are one of the strategies that York County Development Corporation utilizes. Thank you both Emily Perry and Ben Mohorn for helping achieve this activity. And, thank you to Jill and Ryan Koch for your willingness to #shareyourstory! #shareyourstory #videomarketing #ruraldevelopment #economicdevelopment

What are the benefits of an Emotional Service Animal? As I’m sure you’re aware, there are a lot of buildings around NYC that do not allow their tenants to have pets. However, if your pet is certified as an Emotional Service Animal, the building cannot legally prevent the pet from staying there with you. To learn more about this, check out my latest video.

Where do you go to reflect and recharge? It’s been a rough stretch for those of us in the pork industry. We’ve faced the challenges of California’s Prop 12 and Massachusetts Q3 along with the continued anti-livestock messaging from animal activists. We lost a beloved colleague who brought vision and energy to her job and ignited the rest of us with it. Whether it’s extreme challenges or just the stresses of everyday life, it’s important to have a place to reflect and recharge. For me, our firepit has become a place for quiet solitude. We’ve only had it for two years and it was quite an investment, but I enjoy sitting in the chairs, even without a campfire. It’s quiet and surrounded by flowers and plants. I can hear the soft sounds of the windchime that was given to me when my dad passed away and it comforts me. I reflect on his involvement with countless church, school and community boards and the complex challenges he dealt with, always with a positive attitude. It inspires me to do the same. At night, the firepit turns into the place where our family gathers. We share stories, look at the stars and take turns throwing the ball that our German Shepard dog repeatedly brings back to us for another toss. While the firepit area isn’t as useful in the winter months, we did manage to light a campfire on Christmas Day 2022 and enjoy a warm beverage. However, it was pretty cold and even a hearty Minnesotan like me knows when it’s time to go in. I’ll admit that taking the time to relax and reflect isn’t easy for me, just ask my family. However, I’m going to make an effort to do it more often. Whether it’s the firepit, going for a bike ride or even a walk along our county road, getting away from the noise and stress, even for a small amount of time is beneficial. If you’re ever in the area, you’re welcome to sit by the firepit with me. #relaxation #outdoors

We somehow managed to miss World Anteater Day a couple of days back, but regardless, here's the video from our anteater tongue feeder box that was created at Yorkshire Wildlife Park Ltd during one of our recent Team builds. The group created four of these feeders over the build, but every 40 minutes the groups were completely changed around to really mix things up. It was interesting to see how with each group change, the dynamics shifted, there was sharing of ideas and skills, and it worked brilliantly. The box feeder is a simple design that works brilliantly. The box is big enough to fit in a slow-pet feeder. But in order the access the food, the anteater has to use its tongue through one of the holes in the lid. The lid is 40mm deep, with pipes that go through it. The idea is to really slow the food and encourage the anteater to use the fantastic adaptation that they have with their amazing tongue. A huge well done to the group, you were fantastic! Team Building with BITE, Lindsi Blakeman #teambuilding #corporatesocialresponsibility #teambuildingactivities #tbwb

If you haven’t read the book, which I highly recommend, you should absolutely go and see this. It’s a journey that completely captures the links between, humans, agriculture, and ecological systems and demonstrates how important leaving space for nature is for increasing realience in human and natural system. Think food systems, flood management and prevention, mental health and well-being, biodiversity, tourism, community. It’s all here.
