As we enter Mandela Month, we must consider if we are following the late statesman’s example. What are we doing to cross the barriers of separation?
Every year, Mandela Day encourages us to spend at least 67 minutes – representing Nelson Mandela’s 67 years of struggle for liberty and tolerance – making a positive difference in our communities.

In our fast-paced and often stressful world, it’s easy to overlook the small joys and blessings that surround us. Expressing gratitude can help us cultivate appreciation for our lives and help us see the world through clearer eyes. To cultivate gratitude, you can start by setting aside a few moments each day to reflect on and appreciate the people, experiences and things you are grateful for, keeping a gratitude journal, or expressing your gratitude to others through heartfelt gestures or words of appreciation.

Remote employees do not have to worry about the temptations of cake in the breakroom or impromptu lunches out. Yet, working from home might still not mean you get to eat nutritious meals. One way to encourage you to eat balanced meals, is to start a healthy cooking club.
In a club, you can swap healthy recipes via a collaborative Google Doc or link collector, upload pictures of finished dishes to a cloud-based photo album and share tips.
