This originally was posted by my friend Grace Ji-Sun Kim. It is posted here with her permission and at her request.
MOVE AND SHAKE WORK-LIFE BALANCE RETREAT
at the University of Chicago,
Chicago, IL August 30 – September 1, 2013
This will be a gathering of high performing women, who want to explore the ways in which they can develop a well-rounded lifestyle. We realize that there is a need for a women’s retreat for women of color to explore the intersection of their professional, personal, and social experiences.
The Move and Shake Women’s Retreat is an event during which facilitators will expose women to solutions on how to navigate their multiple identities such as motherhood or being a first generation academic. This guided retreat will help women to attain their highest and best professional and academic performance.
Move and Shake Retreat Information:
Move and Shake Women are proud recipients of the Innovation Grant from the University of Chicago’s Graduate Student Affairs Office (GSA)! Because of this generous grant we will launch the 2013 Move and Shake Work – Life Balance Retreat. It will be held in Ida Noyes Hall and the Logan Center, University of Chicago, Chicago, IL, August 30 — September 1 2013.

Rockefeller Chapel – 16 October
It called to me. The chapel called to me. Again my evening walk in Hyde Park, Chicago led me to Rockefeller Chapel. My camera remained behind but the BlackBerry was along. I wandered to a different side of the chapel than last night and came up with another interesting view.
See you along the Trail.
Rockefeller Chapel – 15 October
In Hyde Park, Chicago for McCormick Days where Tricia received the Distinguished Alumna award, I went walking. On October 15, I wandered past Rockefeller Chapel and had to stop for a photo even though my BlackBerry was all I had. It proved a pretty interesting view.
See you along the Trail.
How does this work?
Seen in Hyde Park, Chicago on 15 October 2012. Two thoughts scream for expression:
There’s no free lunch, but there is free rent!
If it’s free, is it really rent?
See you along the Trail.
