Valentine’s Day sure gets lots of hate simply because it’s misunderstood. Open your mind & ❤️ to the idea of love extending beyond romantic love. In fact, PLAY IS LOVE. So go out & be playful w/ someone today to share your love on Valentine’s Day (the greatest day of the year).

In @garyware’s Playposium keynote, he challenged us to schedule play as an appointment in our calendars each week. I work from home on Mondays so I have an appointment reminder set for 11-11:15am to play music & juggle a soccer ball. Who else scheduled something?! Do share…

Omg, omg. It’s Playposium keynote @garyware! Our Rebel Leader. We’re not worthy!
“What is the thing that brings you joy”
“If we are to change the way we perceive the world, we need to have a playful rebellion against the status quo”

Prepping for a @PurposePlayful delivery and was reminded/validated why and how #PLAY makes us more productive, gels a team, and have more fun (to name a few). Thank you @garyware who posted a fantastic TEDx talk by Gwen Gordon (Sesame Street puppeteer) youtube.com/watch?v=i6aCp7qi…

Playposium Feb 8 Keynote!
Gary Ware - After reaching burnout, he realized that what was missing in his life was play. He created the company, Breakingthrough Play, to help people unlock creativity, confidence, & communication. His book Playful Rebellion is my bible! @garyware
