It has been a Long Hot Minute since I've been able to participate & absorb. Throughout that time, is was foundationally comforting to know that CSP was right there when I was ready. The Recreation making way for REcreation is spot on! Made me think of preparation & also how the Jewish heritage day begin at sundown... before you lay your head down to rest, you are already IN your day. Prepared for the sun to rise and your hands to your labors. Also, it made me think of one of may fav's. RE-Joice! The JOY of the Lord IS MY strength. "Rejoice in the Lord, and again I say RE-joice". "Thinking good is Thanking God, & Thanking God is Thinking Good!'.... that is Re-joy & RE-joy & Re-joy! Thanks CSP for ALL of the great content & Heart!!!!

Christmas and New Years Bring A Unique Annual Opportunity

Something I had thought I worked through. Maybe something that requires continued working through in situations where new wounds are created regularly, honestly something I never considered before. Listening to Dr. Rick Marks and Toms CSP video was so powerful---wrong doing creates an opportunity for an exchange--but are you eligible? Interesting concept. Somehow found that to be freeing. I found going over what forgiveness is NOT was super powerful. Resistance to forgiveness--you still want something from the offender....that was mind blowing. (requires some thought in quiet time). So profound was the expectations. Apple tree vs orange tree example. Lends itself to a lot of perspective. Someone may never be who you need or want them to be. Let it Go and Deal with Who they are. The offender may never give you what you want--but you have a choice. Are you willing to give up the thing you want from the offender so you can have freedom found in forgiveness--or will you choose to hold on? At very least, you will know what you are holding on to. SO Grateful to be apart of CSP!!

I Look forward to learning and sharing. I appreciate being part of this organization.

Unfortunately, a good deal of my listening takes place when I am driving. Therefore, taking notes on the nuggets at the moment of impact.... well it's difficult, if I do not wish to impact w/ another object LOL! I sure hope that he will be willing to record more wisdom, that unpacks those nuggets. I particulary resonated w/ the hiring energetic people, as well as don't try to change a person. Some folks are moldable & others not. Efficiency & Awareness were big take-aways.
