Some people call me the ‘The Sprinting Hippo’ and I don’t mind it at all. I coach and play for a softball team during the summers, and, just like the noble hippopotamus that can reach top speeds of 30 mph (it’s true, look it up!), I am much faster than you might assume just by […]
Read MoreWhen there’s a lack of harmony on a team, chances are everyone is aware of it on some level, even if it’s just a vague sense of something’s not quite right.

Read MoreIt’s not all right with me. Every now and then I’ll indulge myself and dip into the McDonald’s across from our office for a breakfast snack.

Read MoreSo, you are reading. Let’s get engaged! No, not that kind, I’m taken! Issue 407 will go down as one of my most successful pieces and one of the most engaged posts in REMAN U recent history. Maybe ever. I was highly encouraged, touched, and amused to hear the various ways REMAN U articles are […]
Read MoreHi! You are reading this. How meta. My name is Andee, The Rhythm of Reman, and I’ve been authoring, editing, and publishing for REMAN U for two and a half years now. We (read: I) send out an article every week, mostly on Thursdays. Our authors are all our own – people I work with […]
