Today

I love my accomplishment coach - she is awesome, inspirational, and really helps me set the tone for the rest of my week. Just a breathe of fresh, honest, authentic conversation. I am inspired to be that for my community.

What do I love about my life?: Cuz Al reflected on how wonderful his kids and wife were, and then shared his discovery of his debilitating thyroid disease which is now medicated and from which he now gets the relationships he never had before. He shared in a way that was made possible because of the reflective question. It created a space for him to say something that created a closeness for both of us to talk about and celebrate together.

Acknowledgments, come easy to me and now I'm upping it one notch to make them profound, to create the other in a way that makes a difference and can be heard in the context delivered. My measurement is being acknowledged back via words or actions. I now socialize enough to not really have that be a measurement. What I notice is how I am perceived by others. Last night I had an enrollment conversation about Landmark such that the individual wanted to know how to find out more, and he would google Landmark education. I was responsible and made it known that there would be cult information - which is what we are not. Freda, my friend, pointed out immediately that it was not how I appeared to her. Both are inspired and Freda loves the sound of the Wisdom class. I will invite her to our Community Fair.

I will find out from Mike if he might be willing to partner with me in swing dancing for the Community event, showcase his New York Times best seller series, I think that would be way cool.

Off to work on my collage.
