Happy Thanksgiving !!!

Worklife announces the National Disconnect Movement. On Thanksgiving day turn off all cell phones, blackberries, and other electronic connections, and reconnect with other people and yourself. Join the movement!

Several of you have asked for a printable version of our monthly e-zine so we've taken the challenge to our dedicated web team.   Mission accomplished! You can now access a link for a printable version each month.

Of course, now that we have your attention, we would like to tell you about our latest offering, Worklife Online Surveys.   We invite you to link to participate in our first survey to help us further target our efforts.   The three questions in this survey are also the three first questions that we ask new contacts who visit our website.

Take Survey (only 3 Questions- done in less than a minute)

In addition ask yourself, "Have I selected reasonable goals that align my work with my passion and allow for the integration with my personal life?"

Our e-zines are developed by keeping in mind the Worklife mission:   "To awaken the passion and potential of each individual while building the community of work".   As you continue on your personal journey we want our monthly connection with you to be a resource that will steer you through answering these ever-present, life questions.   We invite you to refer to these questions on a regular basis and most of all, have fun in the process.

See you next month.

From all of us here at Worklife, have a great Thanksgiving, and don't be afraid to "disconnect the tech and reconnect the touch”.   

Real Pumpkin Pie: The Butler Family Recipe

Cut up, peel and steam a medium pumpkin (about 3 cups), add to a can of evaporated milk, 2 eggs, and 3/4 cup of brown sugar.  Add 1 tsp of cinnamon, 1/2 tsp of ginger, 1/4 tsp nutmeg and 1/8 tsp ground cloves.  Pour into thawed, frozen pie shell (deep dish) and bake at 350 for about an hour or until the crust is golden.

Roger Williams

This lithograph depicts the landing of Roger Williams in Rhode  Island. As he steps from the boat he is greeted by Native American Indians. According to tradition, the Indians greeted him with, "What cheer, Netop?" Netop is an Indian word for friend.

Like the Pilgrims, Roger Williams experienced religious persecution in Europe. But unlike the Pilgrims, who conveniently decided that they disliked religious persecution only when it was directed at them, Williams' experiences convinced him that forced religion was wrong. Roger Williams first joined the Massachusetts Bay Colony in 1631, but was later banished for advocating religious freedom and a complete separation of church and state. Following his sentence, he moved to Providence and founded a colony that would be distinguished by its policy of complete religious freedom. In fact, this colony that he founded would be an example for the rest of the American colonies and would establish fundamental principles of religious freedom that we hold dear to this day. Roger Williams, not the Pilgrims, was the hero of religious tolerance in early America.
