Thanks Laura! This week I attended a staff retreat with a nonprofit organization. One of the afternoon sessions was for managers but many of the staff were scheduled to attend. The executive director explained that if they were wondering why, this was a professional development opportunity she wanted to offer to everyone. The organization is definitely a change agent for all of the reasons you mention in your article. This instance is only one small example. Keep up the good work.

Cindy – So glad to have inspired this post, and I love the Truman quote! Just as with most things in life, good things seem to regularly come from stripping off our “black-or-white” sunglasses, putting on our shape-shifting suits, and diving into the swirling water with a group of like-minded (and sometimes equally wacky) change-agents!

Thanks Greg! Your blog is fun too. http://hardlifeproject.blogspot.com/ My first college radio show was reggae so I’ve always wondered how to be a star.

Cool blog. I’m bookmarking it for later reading. I love it when people have clean, well-written blog posts, regardless of the subject matter. I’m much more likely to stay when the person is educated and intelligent, which you obviously are. Thanks for making the blogosphere a slightly better place.

Thank you all for the wonderful encouraging comments. Each day there are these incidences that can really ruin it for you. For me, today was really one of those days! So I need your positive thoughts to keep mine flowing!

Cindy, I really admire the way you put yourself out there and communicate through your Blog and websites!

Your personal account of ‘Trying not to be Negative at Christmastime’ is great, I love the way you described events that could have put you in victim mode but you turned them around and saw that they all had a positive outcome

We don’t always know why life has dished out such happenings, but we can always gain wisdom from life, and there can be a more positive outcome around the corner if one is open to it.

Being a Welsh gal in Rockville, I’ve reached the point of having to apply for another US Visa, and this time it has to be a different one – one that allows me to earn money in the US, and therefore I have to pull together all my past success and qualifications, a load of references, and explain my future intentions.

First of all, I was cross with the US immigration system for ‘making me’ do this… but when I explored this challenge, it IS the most apropos task for me at this time – to get clear on who I am and what I intend to do with the rest of my life and what I intend to Be now. It’s in my head and heart but I haven’t tackled expressing it ‘out there’. I’ve realized this exercise will help me to get clear on this myself – about where I am now after a quite amazing personal journey to get me to ‘here’.

Wishing You and Yours
Much Joy and new adventures in this New Year!

Elyssa, Thanks for reading and your kind words! I know you have experienced The Pageant. It felt like the whole week was going wrong but it really was going right, just different than one would expect. May 2010 turn out right for us all too.
