Does the prospect of working from home sound too good to be true? Well, it shouldn’t. This book will show you how almost anyone can restructure or change their working life so that they can work at home, either full or part time, for an employer or as a freelancer.

And, if you can’t or don’t want to stay at your current job, we’ll show you how to either:
• look for a job that you can turn into a work-at-home opportunity
• strike out on your own as a home-based freelancer, or
• find an advertised work-at-home job that suits your experience and needs.
This book gives you the nuts and bolts of what it takes to make it as a teleworker. Regardless of your skills, work experience, or background, you can do it, and this book can help you.

Spring book notes and writing classes, too
Linda Wilson, the director of McGaugh’s Young Adventurers program, shares her passion for nature and books in her spring newsletter.
“Each spring I introduce our kindergartners to the classic children’s novel, Charlotte’s Web,” she writes. “We read a chapter or two a day until all 184 wondrous pages are read. We have a Wilbur the Pig Puppet and a Templeton the Rat to share the experience. The children are involved totally in this book and I see tears in many little eyes as I choke up through the last lines, `It isn’t often one finds a true and loyal friend that is also a good writer.’ ”
More YA pointers: Mrs. Wilson also likes Edible Schoolyard by chef Alice Waters and Last Child in the Woods: Saving Our Children from Nature-Deficit Disorder by Richard Louv.
Writer’s workshop: Starting April 14 at the Los Alamitos Community Center, Seal Beach writer Alison Cotter is teaching “Writing Motherhood,” a weekly workshop based on the book by Lisa Garrigues. Alison explains, “this six-week introductory workshop helps beginning writers find their voice and experienced writers develop new material. ” To register call 562-430-1073 or visit www.ci.los-alamitos.ca.us.
Writing nature: Rebel Girl Lisa Alvarez advises: “Beginning Sunday April 5th and running through May 17th, the Irvine Ranch Conservancy will host a weekly writing workshop guided by poet, college writing professor and Irvine Ranch docent Thea Gavin. ” More.

Double Loop thinking
I have been reading 'Strategic Management and Organisational Dynamics' by Ralph Stacey and again he has written about something that is so completely obvious that it has to be right.
Double Loop thinking is the idea that we have to take a double loop with all the decisions we make. The world is dominated by 'single loop thinking' ie what has happened before will obviously happen again. So if you are expert, one solution is all you need for no matter how many problems you come across. This is how we risk 'skilled incompetence' because we ignore change and eventually the consequences of a 'single solution' build up into a severe backlash - such as the financial crisis we have at the moment. For too long we have solved our financial problems with one simple answer - ignoring any danger signals and ignoring sources of fundamental change. So much change that single loop thinking becomes extremely dangerous.
Double Loop thinking means that we not only adjust actions to consequences but we also question and adjust the mental model that produced those actions in the first place because change is constant and one solution that worked in the past may produce a result in the short term but may have long term negative consequences because we have not examined the fundamental unconscious mental model - the reason the problem occurred in the first place.
This is why we have so many problems in society, we think we can use solutions that worked 10 years ago today when too much change has occurred and it does not work. We need more thought about what is happening and why. Sadly deep thinking about problems does not seem to be important.
Single Loop thinking is 'lazy' thinking, it was first proposed by Argyris and Schon (1978).

Mount Kearsarge by Donald Hall
Mount Kearsarge
Great blue mountain! Ghost.
I look at you
from the porch of the farmhouse
where I watched you all summer
as a boy. Steep sides, narrow flat
patch on top –
you are clear to me
like the memory of one day.
Blue! Blue!
The top of the mountain floats
in haze.
I will not rock on this porch
when I am old. I turn my back on you,
Kearsarge, I close
my eyes, and you rise inside me,
blue ghost.
Donald Hall's new and selected poems, White Apples and the Taste of Stone, was published by Houghton Mifflin in 2006. He is the author of more than twenty books of poems as well as children's books, anthologies, essay collections, memoirs, et cetera. His most recent book is Unpacking the Boxes. You can listen to this poem read by Donald Hall.
