Are You a High Noticer?
Cathy and I recently attended a story telling gathering. The purpose was to share personal stories that had an impact on the spiritual direction of our lives. The majority of the stories shared that evening were not Red Sea parting,...
Kindness and Politics
As I was thinking about a topic for this week’s blog, two thoughts came up at the same time – kindness and politics. While this seems like an oxymoron, I contend they should always be connected. The practice of politics is not limited to the governmental activities we...

Up Until Now
A recent team retreat we facilitated was with a team who had been together a long time. They definitely knew each other’s weaknesses and strengths as well as they knew their own. The business owner had committed to having an open dialogue with his team on how they...
Lucky Coincidence or Guiding Angels?
