Alex Hills traveled Alaska by bush plane and snow machine, braving extreme weather and rough terrain to bring telephone service to small villages across the big state. Then he developed a new public radio station to serve the people of Alaska’s huge northwest region. In Finding Alaska’s Villages Alex tells the story of how he helped the state’s telecom pioneers bring about an innovation that would forever change rural Alaska. It took some innovative technical work — and some convincing of government officials and corporate executives — to make it happen. The innovation was the introduction of the small satellite earth stations that would eventually make needed telecommunication services — two-way medical communication, a phone in every house and business, and radio and live television programs — available in Alaska’s villages.

It's time to live in the present! Simply stated, mindfulness is the practice of living in the present. It's choosing to focus on the here and now but without getting swept up in mental drama. Sounds easy enough, but it's actually really hard. Our brains are wired to think, think, think all the time. Whether we're thinking about something that happened a year ago or an hour ago, our thoughts take us away from focusing on right here, right now.

What might move a focused, "git 'er done" person of a certain age to chuck it all for a flighty, creative lifestyle? What impetus would cause this same predictable woman to decide to change her ways?
