growth: Pressure Forms the Pearl! - 08/13/08 06:18 PM
I feel like I need to create a new post!  Today I gave a speech entitled "Pressure Forms the Pearl!" at our local Toastmasters Club at Boise Bible College.  (It is the closest meeting place to us and we meet at a perfect time: High Noon on Wednesday!)
Since I am a candidate for a doctorate degree, I must keep on track every day!  The task is so overwhelming that I must take it one small step at a time.  I must continually overcome the feeling of anxiety.
The feelings I have been experiencing are wild!  Last night I was up all night … (17 comments)

growth: Encouragement for the Exhausted! - 08/01/08 06:05 PM
I just had an experience of observing our dried up plant that began to prosper.  That poor living thing had not had any water for a couple of days before I noticed that it had withered.  It was sagging with no life left in it.  It was exhausted and struggling to survive!  It was so thirsty!
That's the way some of us in the Real Estate Profession may feel.  We have experienced a drought with no water.  We are experiencing weariness.  We are dry and thirsty! 
I have good news for you!  Listen to this story about our plant!
I began … (36 comments)

growth: An Awesome Approval! - 08/01/08 04:54 PM
I just received an awesome approval for my research project.  I am in a doctoral degree program in L.A. even though I live in Boise, ID.  This experience is so far out of the box for me that many times I have had a complete meltdown.  I completed my Masters degree 30 (yes, that is t-h-i-r-t-y) years ago!  So I am experiencing growth!
Now that I am a candidate for the doctorate degree in which I am specializing in leadership and creative conflict management, I must complete Chapter Three by September 1st.  I will do it.  By February 1st next year … (15 comments)

growth: Choosing to Flourish in the Desert! - 06/09/08 11:57 AM
This morning I experienced an amazing awakening.  I have been listening to my wife and speaking to her from my heart in deeper and longer ways than ever before. I keep falling in love with her over and over again!
We are both cutting off heavy weights in our lives and enjoying our experience in the desert together.  The desert is where the rush to make decisions and rush to appointments come to a stop.  We have both been experiencing pain, suffering and all kinds of uncomfortable feelings for the past few weeks.
This morning I saw a green tree growing … (4 comments)

growth: Gaining New Ground - 06/03/08 03:30 PM
Do you enjoy growing?
I noticed that our large spruce tree in our front yard has experienced new growth.  Several limbs have new shoots that are about a foot long.
What happened?  The branches grew from where they were to where they are now.
It sounds simple, doesn't it?  If the tree has the right amount of moisture, nutrients, sunlight and temperature, the automatic result is growth.
How many of us desire to grow?  Growth for each of us must be intentional.  It is easy to get bogged down in a familiar routine, but not much growth occurs in normal every … (12 comments)

growth: Stunning Statistics! - 05/28/08 05:58 PM

I have been contemplating my core values in my personal and professional life. 
Are the things we are living for worth dying for?
If we don't deal with our issues, will our issues deal with us?
What would happen if we stopped asking "how much will it cost" and "how long will it take?"
What is the difference between urgent and vital?
Who are we and why do we do what we do?
What do feel and think about your core values?  Please let me know...
