Long time reader, Robin, was in town on Friday and we squeezed in time to visit.
It reminded me of everything I love about the House of Shine and why I continue feeling committed to our community.
When you are in community, hurdles like time and distance don't feel threatening. Time can pass and distance between members can grow, but still there is a familiarity that makes reconnecting easy and natural.
Two weeks time has passed since our last post and many of you are feeling distanced from our message of Shine. But we are a community and so I hope our monthly invitation to reconnect through High, Low, Aha feels both easy and natural.
Newcomers to our site need a quick introduction to High, Low, Aha:
Each month on, our around the eighteenth day, we ask readers to share the best thing that has happened to them in the last month (High); the worst thing that has happened to them (Low); and something they have learned (Aha). This is our way of staying connected despite our busy lives.
I will start and then share yours by joining me in the Comment Section.
High: A successful training session in Boston and visiting with long-time friend, George; successfully completing the leadership class I was teaching; reconnecting with a former student and some old friends; making more progress on my home; placing second in Cheryl's art contest (and having Matthew place third!).
Low: Ending a professional relationship; projects moving at a snail's pace; bad hair, and worrying about my family in New York.
Aha: I am reading a lot these days, so I feel like I am constantly learning. The thing I most find myself thinking about these days is the difference between being busy and being efficient.
Your turn...
Shining off until...
