School Days

Back in school again. Self inflicted suffering. I didn't have to do this again. After all, I have a good job, a home, beautiful family etc., etc., etc. What do I have to prove? That I can still do it? Nah!

It boils down to this:
I still like to learn. I think life becomes so boring when we get comfortable in what we know. I don't want to ever stop learning and growing. Stagnation...YUCK! Gotta keep movin'.

I am passionate about the organizations that I belong to. My church, my job, my family. I want to see them thrive and grow. It really irks me when there is disorganization and dysfunction around. I get these, "I must rid the universe of disorganization" feelings that I must satisfy(ok, maybe a little over dramatic, but do you sense the passion?).

I'm studying Organizational Leadership. It is waaaaay cool. It's just opening my eyes to a lot of things that I already knew, but couldn't put into words. I think that my calling is becoming more apparent to me.

I hope to share a couple of tidbits with you over the next few weeks.

Here's one:
What are the 4 characteristics that people want most in a leader?

I'll let you know the answer in an upcoming post. Stay tuned....

I'm back...

Big thanks to Hillary and Kaz for the little encouragement to get me going again! It has been a long time. Bloggin' aint easy...

For all you folks that sometimes have a little writers block, here's a cool link to start the juices running again.

Imagination Prompt Generator will give you a topic to write on. Here's mine for the day:

If you had to donate one million dollars to any charity, which one would it be and why?

If I had a million dollars today, I would donate it to Convoy of Hope. This relief ministry provides support in the form of food and water to areas of the world affected by disaster or hardship. They have a fleet of 18 wheelers which they send to various areas to help people in need. They were on their way to Louisiana and Mississippi even before Katrina hit. They have been at the forefront of the faith-based relief effort, even before the Government stepped in. If you would like to donate your million dollars (or any other amount...) you can do so at their website

There. That wasn't that hard was it...
