Where to start? Where to start?
Okay, let's start with the idea of you walking into a restaurant with a friend. It's a beautiful day and you've decided to treat yourselves to a dinner out. You walk in and the waitress greets you with a look of distress. She impatiently escorts you to a table. When she takes your order, she is distracted and terse. When you ask the soup specials, she is visibly annoyed and goes back to the kitchen to check, informing you, "it's almost out anyways." The meal progresses. You and your friend chat. But you leave the restaurant feeling a little drag on your system. You've been slimed.
That's enrollment.

Dear Friends on the path of Transformation,
I am sitting down to write this month's distinction blog on Responsibility, and I don't know where to begin. I have the experience that if I get going, I could still be writing about responsibility a month from now. I also feel at times like I am wrestling with an eel -- when I have a firm grasp on it, it feels electric and then it slips out of my hands and I feel like I am starting all over again and it is elusively beyond my grasp; and this is after 16 1/2 years of keeping myself pretty present with the conversation of responsibility. Lisa Kalmin and I often say, that if responsibility were a football field with 100 yards, we are at about the 45/40 yardline. That being said, here goes. Where to start? Well, as Julie Andrews would say, "let's start at the very beginning, it's a very good place to start." So, a little refresher from Wednesday and Thursday night of the Introductory Course... |

Happy 2010!
I am imagining that many of you are making resolutions for the New Year and getting crystal clear on what your vision of the future you are actively creating. I recently read a few articles on the Top 5 New Year's resolutions, and they usually look something like this:
1. Get out of Debt
2. Stop Smoking
3. Get Fit
4. Lose Weight
5. Enjoy Life More
Okay, what's missing from the list?
Relationship.
Usually "spend time to with friends and family" makes the top 10, but please!
Think about it -- this year there have been far examples of politicians caught up in affairs and then the whole sag of the Tiger Woods ongoing sexcapades -- all reminding us that intimate relationships take real work and our patterns do not disappear. Everything in your life comes from you in relationship -- your job or career is you in relationship with others -- fostering relationships with your children -- being in relationship with others around us to function and be successful in the world.

| To the Great Unknown or whoever is out there: Okay, so I am finally willing, albeit kicking and screaming, to enter the 21st Century. Somewhere while I was out being with people, transforming the world, people began facebooking, internetworking and tweeting. I have tentatively dipped my toes in the water here and there, but seen the virtual world as far less appealing than the world of whoever is in front of me in this moment. I humbly admit my error (might want to catalogue the date on this admission, given that I stink at admitting wrongs – a life lesson I apparently came to get work done on). I now see that there is value in staying connected, revealing and working to serve people utilizing whatever mechanism I’ve got handy. I’m sure many of you know that I can be stubborn and a little hardheaded at times. Well, after a recent verbal clobbering by my husband and a good friend, I am launching a commitment to begin a blog. |
