Standing outside this morning in the cold, I watched another incredible winter sunrise…and another Friday dawned. Hope you’re finishing your week strong. Either way, we can put this week to rest.<\/p>\n

Here’s my list of 5 favorite finds this week (with a few fun bonuses at the end). Enjoy.<\/p>\n

1) Civility <\/strong>– More than just polite discourse. In 1997, Burgess and Burgess, of the University of Colorado,\u00a0 wrote a substantive piece<\/a> on the meaning of civility. They could have been writing about our current political and social culture. Read their piece for particulars in using fair and honoring processes in attacked difficult problems. Watch Senator Marco Rubio’s brief and inspiring challenge to the US Senate recently.<\/p>\n

2) Classical Guitar Mashup of VideoGame Theme Music<\/strong> – Nathan Mills<\/a> of Beyond the Guitar<\/a> has posted a new video of his arrangements of some of the Best Of Videogame Music Themes of 2016<\/a>. You don’t have to be a gamer to appreciate the sheer beauty of these pieces interpreted on classical guitar.\"\"<\/a><\/p>\n

I’m surprised myself at how soothing this music is when showcased in such a different setting…arranged by this guy who plays both guitar and videogames with skill…and heart. Have a listen:<\/p>\n
