Dear Friends,
This week's civil horrors forces the community slice of our pies to become a top priority. If anything positive emerged, it is the understanding that when it comes to hatred, we can no longer stay silent around transgressions big or small.
What does this mean? You hear a racist joke at dinner, an inappropriate remark from a colleague or you notice an all male panel at your industry conference...and you speak up.
Your community needs your voice. Take the time to give it.

SAM'S CENTS
Moving
In today’s office culture, executives and employees at all levels are encouraged to exercise, take walks, and swap the conference room for some fresh air. If you are in a job with a full lunch break, try eating your sandwich at your desk and then spend the rest of your lunch hour taking a brisk walk. We also live in a more casual world where your workout clothes and your work clothes might share the same section of your closet. When Tia went on a business trip to Charleston, South Carolina, she and her colleagues all agreed to pack hiking shoes and turn a half-day meeting into a hike. You can too!
And there is more great news here for busy women. If you choose moderate exercise like gardening or walking, the health benefits peak at four to six times per week. You can significantly lower your risk of heart disease, stroke, and blood clots. But if you opt for sweat-inducing, hard-core, heartbeat-thumping exercise, the benefits peak at just two to three times per week. So if you can, go hard! If really doesn’t take much of a time commitment to get a seriously significant benefit.
