Remembering to Remember
If you’re like me, not that I would assume you are, but I forget a lot. True story. Somehow the Lord gave me the wherewithall to be able to manage some pretty large projects and clients, but… I may forget why I went to the grocery store. Or even more often, just after I call someone and it […]
Good Design Begins When…
I got an “F” on my 1st art project.
Challenge 6: Wrapping up before the new year!
Take a few moments to review what you’ve written out and take a couple more steps! If you’re able, get out 2 pieces of paper: Write “Moving Forward” at the top of one sheet and “Leaving Behind” at the top of the other. Challenge 1: Moving Forward by Writing 2014 down – On the “Moving […]
Challenge 5: Remember It well by Thinking It Through
In the first challenge we talked about the importance of healthy reflection. One of the challenges was to write down 6 joys and 6 pains from the previous year. Since then we’ve talked about forgiveness, regret and some tips for handling the negative turns that have occurred in the last year. Now we’re going to […]
Challenge 4: Move On by Forgiving Yourself
In the last challenge we talked about forgiveness. It’s a difficult task that requires a lot of thinking, action and even more intentionality. BUT. what if the person you need to forgive is yourself? Sometimes it feels like the only one in the other corner of the boxing ring is our own self-criticism. […]
Challenge 3: Forgive It by Choosing To Love
Forgiveness is perhaps one of the hardest parts of any relationship. Do you remember what it was like on the playground in elementary school? Whether it was getting “accidentally” hit with a stick or being picked last for the kickball team, an argument would start and the teacher would come over to investigate the situation, […]
Challenge 2: Forgetting It by Evaluating and Processing
In the first challenge we discussed the art of remembering— that, in order to move forward, it’s important to consider where we’ve been. And where we’ve been often involves failure and pain, being let down and letting others down. It’s a painful thing to think about moments when we’ve failed, but often if we don’t look […]
Challenge 1: Moving Forward by Writing 2014 down
“As I look towards the beginning of each season, I like think of 3 things: Where I have come from, Where I am, and Where I’d like to be” – Coach Jim Valvano (1983 NCAA Basketball Champions) As we look forward to the next day, week, year or decade it is first vitally important to […]
Ordinary Moments
When our lives are filled with the mundane, Monday becomes Friday overnight it seems. Join me on a journey to live a little more. This isn’t new territory for me, and probably not you either. But it’s one thing to survey the land we’ve been promised, and another thing all together to move in and build […]
Life is Beautiful
Forgive me for a moment as you journey into the mind of an artist: Inspiration is everywhere. Currently I’m sitting at my desk, taking a break from my work to jot down a few thoughts on viewing the world around us with fresh eyes. With the hopes of snow crushed again in Nashville, we can […]
