staff meeting

Staff meetings are to get everyone on the same page in order to have things run more smoothly, more efficiently. In yoga class, that's one reason why we start with simple breath and body movements, to get the breath and body to move as one. To get breath and body to share the same space, in the same timing, in the same intensity, with the same intention. Once those get on the same page, it's easier to break down obstacles, fill in the grooves of old habits and impressions (samskaras), and to basically have more fun at the party of you. That's why some hosts and hostesses tell you, or gently suggest, what you should bring to a potluck - so dinner isn't 25 versions of chips and salsa. Not that that would be bad. It would give us an opportunity to examine the same thing from different points of view. But having a variety of food at a potluck is more what a potluck is. Instead of a planned chips/salsa taste test event.

It seems that with the digital age and all this seamless interfacing, staff meetings within the programs, software, hardware already exist. But what happens when someone doesn't make it to the meeting? I'll tell you. A persons Sunday blog, the final day of the Monday's Child series, ends up posting on Friday even though it was completed and published on, you guessed it, Sunday.

That being said, who cares? In case someone does, just bring it up at the next meeting. And don't forget the donuts...
