My grandma raised me when I was young, so when I heard the news I knew I needed to go back home. The thing was my home is a long 15-hour plane ride away in South Korea, and I had just started a new job at Fractured Atlas after spending over a year in job hunting purgatory.

This brief post is an outline of the benefits thus far, as well as an honest admission about what we still haven’t figured out. (My fellow board member Chris Mackie will be writing on the detailed list of what we have yet to resolve and design – this will be a quick pass in anticipation of his contribution which is coming soon.)

More recently, perhaps in a nod to the challenges of balancing “work” and “life” in an always-connected world, or maybe because for those searching for meaning and purpose in their activities there’s not always a bright line distinction between “work” and “life,” the phrase has shifted to “bringing our whole selves to work.” [Read More](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/bring-your-whole-ish-self-to-work-cfd7357faa59) Share - Close - - - - [mailto:?body=https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/bring-your-whole-ish-self-to-work-cfd7357faa59](mailto:?body=https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/bring-your-whole-ish-self-to-work-cfd7357faa59) [![Blog Feature](https://cdn2.hubspot.net/hubfs/298890/blog-files/blog--cards-feature.png)](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/summer-reading-challenge-2019-648c2ce6c867) [Big Ideas](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/topic/big-ideas) | [How We Work](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/topic/how-we-work) | [Anti-Racism/Anti-Oppression](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/topic/anti-racism-anti-oppression) | [People Operations](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/topic/people-operations) | [Summer Reading](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/topic/summer-reading) ## [Summer Reading Challenge 2019](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/summer-reading-challenge-2019-648c2ce6c867) By [Tim Cynova](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/author/tim-cynova) May 24th, 2019 Note: The librarian’s last name is Reading. How awesome is that?! (Also note, my mom saved everything.) Around Memorial Day each year when my sister and I were kids, our parents would take us to the McCollough Branch of the Evansville Public Library. It was that annual rite of passage — the summer reading challenge! We’d select a hefty stack of books, and then hope to God come Labor Day we’d have read enough of them to earn that sweet certificate for a free scoop of Baskin Robbins ice cream.

As I’ve been watching movie after movie, I have noticed some common themes: baking cookies (yum!), accidentally falling in love with a prince (or Santa’s son!), really fake looking snow (or incredibly not winter friendly outfits!), and people loving their jobs (just kidding).

And that lead to watching this one about adopting a minimalist approach in life, and then books like Dan Harris’s 10% Happier and Jeffery Pfeffer’s Dying for a Paycheck, and a course on Mindfulness-based Stress Reduction. By that point, I had fallen firmly down a rabbit hole of research on resiliency and self-care.

Specifically, As part of Fractured Atlas’s commitment to supporting individual artists and the arts sector overall in firmly planting themselves in justice, we are especially committed to ensuring that our environment, and those created by our member artists, are welcoming to all individuals, regardless of race and ethnicity, gender, sexual orientation, and disability, or any other bias that may present itself. Each day we are working, to paraphrase Mr. Baldwin, to dismiss the vocabulary we have hidden behind for so very long. \[Emphasis added.\] [Read More](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/a-welcoming-environment-next-steps-in-our-anti-racism-and-anti-oppression-work-c47a5a0f7b0b) Share - Close - - - - [mailto:?body=https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/a-welcoming-environment-next-steps-in-our-anti-racism-and-anti-oppression-work-c47a5a0f7b0b](mailto:?body=https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/a-welcoming-environment-next-steps-in-our-anti-racism-and-anti-oppression-work-c47a5a0f7b0b) [Previous](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/tag/big-ideas/page/10) [All posts](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/all) [Next](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/tag/big-ideas/page/12) [![Logo with text (1)](https://blog.fracturedatlas.org/hubfs/Logo%20with%20text%20(2).svg)](https://www.fracturedatlas.org/) [SIGN UP FOR EMAILS](http://eepurl.com/be_Uej) - [Fiscal Sponsorship](https://www.fracturedatlas.org/fiscal-sponsorship) - [Artist Visas](https://www.fracturedatlas.org/visas) - [Fundraising](https://fundraising.fracturedatlas.org/) - [Knowledge Base](https://fracturedatlas.zendesk.com/) - [What We Do](https://www.fracturedatlas.org/what-we-do) - [Who We Are](https://www.fracturedatlas.org/who-we-are) - [Get In Touch](https://www.fracturedatlas.org/get-in-touch) - [Become A Member](https://www.fracturedatlas.org/become-a-member) - [Donate](https://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/contribute/donate) - [Check out our Instagram](https://www.instagram.com/fractured.atlas/) © 1997-2026 Fractured Atlas. | [Privacy Policy](https://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/about/privacy) | [Term of Use](https://www.fracturedatlas.org/site/about/terms)
