already february?
The meeting last month was interesting...THANKS to Voodoo and my boyfriend, I gained some new perspective, re-focused on what I was doing, and ultimately, was able to be REALLY honest with the team...I let them know how I was struggling and it felt pretty liberating. They talked more this time around...shared their thoughts and opinions. I paid attention to their body language, tone of voice, facial expressions...brought me back to "Interpersonal Comm"...we didn't have enough time for the second half of leadership development, but I think that's good. I hope they had enough to chew on before our next meeting this Sunday. They're great kids...they just need great direction - I'M TRYING...or am I? Overall, I won't say if it was good or bad, effective or ineffective...I can't decipher results after one day...just that it was interesting to see them take their roles seriously and really participate; to see their minds at work. It's an ongoing process...but it's a great challenge...Two weeks ago my brother and I went to go visit our new baby cousin, Mykel (my-kel). So tiny and beautiful. She's the newest addition to the cousin clan - #12. Really, she's the size of a football, heh. She wouldn't open her eyes when we cradled her, but I knew she was peeking. While I looked at her I thought, "If our family saw her, how could they all not melt inside?" If we saw her, how could our hearts not be softened towards one another? I guess I'm hoping for some miracle...that with the blessing of another beautiful joy, that our family could come back together...I think I better keep dreaming...actually, not dreaming...hoping.
2007, huh...family...work...purpose...hope...discipline...faith...I've got work to do this year. Peace.
