Receiving Feedback:
Feedback is a gift. Thank the giver for it.
Yes, this is an idea that I, too, have to embrace. When I receive feedback, I have to stop myself and think. I must admit that it's much easier just to react. I have habits already ingrained in me that affect how I accept feedback. I'm getting better, but I have a long way to go. And, I love gifts!

On Support:
I am truly blessed to have people in my life that support me. And, not everyone supports me in the same way...which is good. Most supporters would be considered friends...no, dear friends. Some listen, some tell, some appear, some disappear, some make me laugh, some make me think, some give me work, some want to play...
Ahhhh...to support.
On Anniversaries:
Ron and I are celebrating our 19th wedding anniversary today. It seems likes it hasn't been that long. Where does the time go? Perhaps we'll look at our wedding album today and reminisce just a bit. Regardless, we'll celebrate a job well done...or a life well-lived together!
Oh, and I must tell you, Ron will say our wedding vows to me. He says them periodically throughout the year, but always on our anniversary. "I, Ron, choose you, Susan, to share our lives forever together. I promise to accept whatever God choose to give us - whether it's joy or sorrow; health or illness. I promise to be life=giving every day of our lives. I love you." Mine varied only because I said, "I love you very much."
Perhaps you can tell someone you love them today!
On Effective Coaches:
Effective coaches meet people where they are and give them opportunities to take risks and learn from their mistakes.
I am a huge risk-taker. And I make tons of mistakes. I like to think that I've learned from my mistakes. Regardless, I'll keep taking risks and making mistakes.

On Family:
You can't live with them; and you can't live without them. Need I say more?
On Team Roles and Responsibilities:
Forming a team is a matter of assessing resources and assembling the right team members and sub-set of team members to carry out the various tasks.
Each team member has an aspect of the team outcome that they are responsible for enacting. Some of the work may need to be done individually; and some of the work may need to be done in a group or sub-group. Regardless, when all the roles are performed, the outcome is a success if all members have fulfilled their roles' responsibilities - with or without the help of other team members.

On Miracles and Einstein:
Albert Einstein said, "There are only two ways to live your life: One is as though nothing is a miracle; the other is as though everything is a miracle. I believe in the latter."
Who would have thought such a quote would come from Einstein? But I, like him, believe in miracles...and when possible, I look for and see wonders and miracles every day. What wonders and miracles will you see today?
