Kim & Jason friend Eliz Greene makes a great case for having fun during Heart Month with this post on her blog. Along with sharing stories about Bruce Springsteen and her rocking the stage, Eliz gives this piece of wisdom: The next time an opportunity to dress up, wear a crazy hat or do something outside of your everyday comfort zone comes along - do it!

Benefits of a Different Kind
When I was a teenager, my Dad always stressed the importance of getting a job with benefits. He made a convincing argument, but in the back of my mind, I always feared that I'd end up disappointing him. Even then, I knew that my career path was unlikely to take a normal route.
