What do you get when you take exhilarating images of the beautiful playground we call planet Earth, add an adrenaline-laced soundtrack, and mix it all up with expert film editing?

PSA of the Week
Remember: if you suspect frostbite, rubbing snow on it is not recommended. Raw meat is not recommended to treat a potential black eye. In fact, cooked meat isn’t either.
Music Therapy…with some dance therapy thrown in
Tip of the hat to my granddaughter, the lovely and talented Elizabeth Pearson, for the tip on this week’s perfect edition of music therapy. Maybe we should call it dance therapy with a little music therapy on the side. Either way, my wife and I do this very routine every evening right after supper. You should try it too. I …
Another epic mid-week break
We like to call this the Hump Day Hiatus, but then, you knew that already. It’s a mid-week break that takes you away from the office gossip, the deadline stress, the pressure to perform, just long enough to refresh and recharge the batteries and finish the day strong. And once today is out of the way, you’re over the hump …
Driving time is dead time
So why not use it to catch up on phone calls, right? Wellllll… even though you’re probably already doing it regularly (driving and talking on the phone, that is), you might want to rethink that after watching this little Mythbusters video.

I brake for breaks
As you know, every Wednesday in this very spot, a mid-week respite — the world famous Hump Day Hiatus — is offered for your enjoyment and refreshment. Sometimes they’re restful and soothing; other times they’re energizing and exhilarating, drenched in adrenaline. They can be mindless or deeply thought-provoking. Where does this one fit in? Among the most visually stunning ever …
PSA of the Week
This infographic boils down to people saying this: texting while driving is a problem when other people do it. Unfortunately, that’s not how it works. It’s a problem when anyone does it – and lots of people are doing it. Accident statistics and traffic studies say that a texting driver is 23 times more likely to crash than a non-texting …

Audio-Visual Therapy!
What we normally call simply Music Therapy is instead on this day “audio-visual” therapy. Why? Well, with no disrespect to the musicians intended, this dazzling, stunning, beautiful, captivating, entrancing and enchanting video (I would say more, but my thesaurus is in the shop) would be awesome with no sound. Does the song and sound enhance the visuals even further? I …
