Hooper Bay, Alaska! It's not the first remote place we went with the outreach teams of Native young people that we go with, but it's a tough one. Each Summer of Hope, it's our privilege to take these teams of Indian and Native Alaskan spiritual warriors to the reservations and the villages where America's most devastated young people live and die too young. The suicide rate among young Native Americans is something like three or four times that of the rest of America's young. And in some places in Alaska, it's twenty times greater. Hooper Bay, Alaska, is one of the hardest places in this country to grow up. We had to take our team there. But getting there the first time was a real adventure. My wife was on the first plane into this village 400 miles from the nearest road. Sitting in the co-pilot's seat, she should have had a great view as they approached over the Bering Sea. But there was no view. It was like zero visibility. But those missionary pilots - they are amazing! My wife watched him with his flight plan on his knee, constantly comparing it to the readings on his instruments. Looking out the window sure wasn't going to help find this flight, I'll tell you. That ain't going to help you find a landing strip. Ultimately, they were so close to the ocean their propellers were whipping up the ocean around them. A Native Alaskan in the back just kept praying over and over, "Oh, Jesus, Jesus, help us!" Suddenly, right below my wife's window, she saw the landing strip, and they landed right where they were supposed to land! I'm Ron Hutchcraft and I want to have A Word With You today about "How to Know Where You're Going When You Can't See a Thing." Maybe that's how you feel right now, like, about the flight of your life; you're flying blind. There's no clear path ahead. Visibility is close to zero, and it's scary. It would be easy to make a big mistake right now and you can't afford one. I'm happy to report there is a flight plan, laid out by the God who says in the Bible, "I know the plans I have for you...plans to prosper you and not to harm you, plans to give you hope and a future" (Jeremiah 29:11). You don't want to miss that. But your feelings are all over the map, your circumstances are up for grabs, and you could crash if you don't know where you're supposed to go. Take a lesson from the pilot in the fog over that Native Alaskan village. He knew he couldn't trust his feelings. He couldn't trust His surroundings. He could trust only one thing - what His instruments were saying. He kept checking his course by the unfailing accuracy of the one thing that was not affected by the environment - his instruments. For you, that's the Bible, the unchanging Word of God. Here's His promise in Psalm 119:105, our word for today from the Word of God, His Word is "a lamp to my feet and a light for my path." And that psalm says, "Your Word, O Lord...stands firm in the heavens." It won't change if the earth melts away. And you're going to make it if you risk everything, if you base everything on what God's Word, His unchanging, eternal Word says to you, each new day. No matter what your feelings are saying; no matter what your surroundings are saying to you. Through His forever trustworthy words, God will keep His promise for the days when you can't see where you're going. You can stake everything on this promise: Isaiah 42:16 - you're going to love this: "I will lead the blind by ways they have not known, along unfamiliar paths I will guide them; I will turn the darkness into light before them and make the rough places smooth. These are the things I will do; I will not forsake them." That, my brother, my sister, is all you need to know to land exactly where you're supposed to land!

What an image of leadership – Moses so visibly present on the hill with his hands raised and two of his community members on either side offering support. It seems like a lot of us could benefit from this kind of leadership, especially during these times of transition. We're no longer what we have been, but we don't know what we're becoming. How will we get through this? How are our leaders leading, and how do we support each other as community? And where is God in all this? For reflection: Have you ever experienced a liminal space, neither where you have been nor where you're going? How did you get through this time? What are some of the challenges of a liminal season? What feelings stir up within you? What are some of the gifts of this time? What do you need from your leaders? If you yourself have a leadership role, what support do you need? Spend a few minutes talking with God about all of this. You can read the reflection here, and you can sign up to receive our weekly newsletter at www.GodSpaceCommunity.com. At God Space, you can come as you are. You belong here. Here's the book I refer to, and I hope you check it out: Beaumont, Susan.

I wanted to share something that I haven't talked a lot about but has had a major impact in my life and something I know a lot of my clients and you probably deal with as well. Anxiety, stress, even depression can derail us from what we set out to accomplish and we can avoid a lot of anxiety and stress if we understand it and make beneficial lifestyle choices. I'll explain the difference between stress and distress, important lifestyle habits to implement, and why removing some things from your plate could be some of the best decisions you'll make.   Time Stamps:   (0:05) First Started Feeling Anxiety at 5 (4:20) My New Program (6:20) Stress's Impact on the Body (10:25) Stress vs Distress (11:40) Lifestyle Habits (15:00) Having Lifesyle in Order (15:45) Self-Talk (18:40) Journaling (20:28) Intention and Purpose (23:08) Taking Things Off Your Plate (38:02) Know Where You're Going (40:20) Supplements (42:30) My IF Program -------------------- Join My IF:45 Intermittent Fasting Class -------------------- Use My Link for Beauty Counter to Receive 20% Off -------------------- Download My Free Hormone Healthy Recipe Guide -------------------- Follow my Facebook Page where I go Live Every Week with New Educational Information to Help You Live Your Best Life - https://www.facebook.com/covinofitness -------------------- Follow me on Instagram! - https://www.instagram.com/carolcovinofitness/

Welcome to Day 1958 of our Wisdom-Trek, and thank you for joining me. This is Guthrie Chamberlain, Your Guide to Wisdom Know Where You're Going – Daily Wisdom Welcome to Wisdom-Trek with Gramps. We are on Day 1958 of our Trek, and it's time to explore another nugget of wisdom, which includes an inspirational quote and some wise words from Gramps for today's trek. Wisdom is the final frontier in gaining true knowledge. So we are on a daily trek to create a legacy of wisdom, seek out discernment and insights, and boldly grow where few have chosen to grow before. Hello, my friend; this is Gramps. Thanks for coming along on today's trek as we increase Wisdom and Create a Living Legacy. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs%2016%3A16&version=NLT (Proverbs 16:16)  How much better to get wisdom than gold, and sound judgment than silver!    If you apply the words you hear today, over time, it will help you become more healthy, wealthy, and wise as you continue your daily trek of life. So let's jump right in with today's nugget: Today's quote is from Earl Nightingale, and it is: All you have to do is know where you're going. After that, the answers will come to you of their own accord. Know Where You're Going If you plan on taking a trip, starting a new business venture, or any significant event, you must know where you are going before starting. Once you know your destination or endgame, you can lay the pieces in place that will allow you to reach your destination. As the saying goes, if you don't know where you are going, any road will take you there. That is certainly not ideal. How much better to determine your destination first because, after that, the answers will come to you, allowing you to plan the steps necessary to reach that destination. In our Christian walk, our end game is building God's kingdom while we live life at home, at work, at church, and in all activities, we engage in. Let's begin with the end in mind. https://www.biblegateway.com/passage/?search=Proverbs+4%3A25-27&version=NLT (Proverbs 4:25-27) Look straight ahead, and fix your eyes on what lies before you.  Mark out a straight path for your feet; stay on the safe path.  Don't get sidetracked; keep your feet from following evil. As you ponder this nugget of wisdom for yourself, please encourage your friends and family to join us and come along tomorrow for another day of ‘Wisdom-Trek, Creating a Legacy.' If you would like to listen to any of our past 1957 treks or read the Wisdom Journal, they are available at Wisdom-Trek.com. In addition, I encourage you to subscribe to Wisdom-Trek on your favorite podcast player to download each day's trek automatically. Finally, if you would like to receive our weekly newsletter,' Wisdom Notes,' please email me at guthrie@wisdom-trek.com. Thank you so much for allowing me to be your guide, mentor, and, most importantly, your friend as I serve you through this Wisdom-Trek podcast and journal. As we take this trek together, let us always: Live Abundantly (Fully) Love Unconditionally Listen Intentionally Learn Continuously Lend to others Generously Lead with Integrity Leave a Living Legacy Each Day I am Guthrie Chamberlain….reminding you to 'Keep Moving Forward,' ‘Enjoy your Journey,' and ‘Create a Great Day…Everyday'! See you next time for more daily wisdom!  

If you grew up in church (or even if you didn't), you've probably heard extensive exhortations about being a Proverbs 31 woman. Every Mother's Day, that famous line, the one about her children arising and calling her blessed, makes its way to the front of Hallmark cards and sappy Facebook shoutouts. Proverbs 31 has become such a common passage that we regularly overlook it and try to find something less mainstream to reference. But it is mainstream for a reason. There are principles and wisdom that deserve examination and application to our daily lives. 6 Habits of the Proverbs 31 Woman Rise Early (before you need to) “She rises while it is yet night and provides food for her household” – Proverbs 31:15, ESV Get to Work “She seeks wool and flax, and works with willing hands.” – Proverbs 31:13, ESV   Be Discerning and Willing to Search for the Best - “She considers a field and buys it; With the fruit of her hands she plans a vineyard.” – Proverbs 31:16   Remember the Poor - “She opens her hand to the poor and reaches out to the needy” – Proverbs 31:20, ESV   Know Where You're Going - “She is not afraid of snow for her household, for all her household are clothed in scarlet.” – Proverbs 31:21, ESV   Remember What Matters in Life - “Charm is deceitful, and beauty is vain, but a woman who fears the Lord is to be praised. Give her of the fruit of her hands, and let her works praise her in the gates.” – Proverbs 31:30-31, ESV   Want to go deeper? Learn more here!

In the midst of this liminal season, Susan is an expert guide who models leadership rooted in spiritual practices that ultimately help connect the soul of the leader to the soul of the institution.   QUOTES “I think that congregations are at their most vital when the soul of a leader is connecting with the soul of the institution and calling something forth.” -Susan Beaumont [13:32] “We cannot manufacture or produce discernment.

Greater Service Springs from Lesser Certainity Going Out of Businessa sermon by Rev. J. Christy Ramsey DOWNLOAD A LIVE RECORDING Audio from worship at 9:30 AM Worship Service November 7,2021 at Christ Presbyterian Church in Gardnerville, NevadaI am wearing a mask so the deep breathing is not a sign of illnessbut a sign of caring for others.edited from a flawless transcription made by edigitaltranscriptions all errors are mine. John 18:33-37 Sermons also available free on iTunes I’m wearing a thousand-dollar suit, standing on the accelerator of a quarter-million-dollar ride weighing 20 tons, trying to beat death in a race. Oh, and I can’t see a thing. The fog is so dense it’s like being in the middle of a white night. I remember this as a time I considered what business do I have being a firefighter? Now, we may not know about kings, maybe Burger King or Carole King. But we do know about business. I think it’s helpful to look at this scripture, not about examination of how Jesus is and is not a king, but about what is Jesus’s business. We know about business. Everywhere from “That’s none of your business,” or “That’s my business,” to “The church has no business addressing anything of controversy or importance, or in contemporary thought and talk,” be it race, economics, schooling, dress codes. It’s not the church’s business. Is it? Jesus seems to be trying to redefine what it means to be king. He both says “No, I’m not,” and “Yes, I am,” or “Not in that way.” This is a very helpful thing for us to consider in the time of pandemic. Because of all the times when we do not know where we’re going and what’s going next, in redefining what it is to be church, what it is to be Christian, now is the time. Is what is church? What is church business? We might have had a clue before the pandemic. We might have been able to say, well, the church business is to have a worship service on Sunday. The church business is to support a pastor to give comfort and challenge to the people. That’s church business. But you all know that when the pandemic hit, you guys stopped having church services. You had to redefine what church was. You used email to connect with one another. And in a kind of a really nice spiritual technical meld, you said – Carl was saying could you all get together in your own homes and read this email, pray these prayers, sing these hymns, consider the sermon separately together in your own homes. And for a long time that was church business. Business is difficult for us to take over as a church. If you ever heard that the church has to be run with the business, you might be thinking, well, that is just limited to generally accepted accounting principles, or that’s just limited to filling out the forms and obeying zoning laws and doing everything that a business needs to do to survive. It’s about being a good fiduciary responsibility and making sure that the money is accounted for and that the accounting is done right and that the offering is changed and that the bills are paid and the forms are filled out. Right before service I filled out another form. So the church like a business we’d know about. But what kind of business are we in? That is a more helpful thought than what kind of king is Jesus. More and more church has been run like a business where we try to figure out exactly what our objective is, specific measurable, attainable, relevant, time-related objectives. And then we figure out the cost risk benefitting analysis. Maybe we have brainstorms. We look for expertise. We gather up data. We solve problems just like a business. Well, that doesn’t work when everything’s changing so fast. That doesn’t work when what did happen last week, last month, last year is not guaranteed and almost certainly guaranteed not to be the same as next year. And all that process focuses on us and our expertise and our knowledge. So many churches fall into this business trap of getting the expert in. The first automatic response of any church that is looking for a minister is to say we need a pastor to bring in new people. They don’t really mean new people. They mean the same people as there are now, just 20 years younger, or 40 years younger. If you could just get us, but 40 years younger, in fact you can make us 40 years younger, that’d be okay because then nothing would have to change. But that’s not a good way to go forward. Sure, it’s problem-solving. It’s objective. It’s brainstorming. It’s expertise-driven. It’s what everything that they teach you in business school, everything that they teach you as a way to be successful in the United States of America, salute business. But it doesn’t really serve us before or even especially during the pandemic. Susan Beaumont wrote a really good book that is very good and somewhere here. But anyhow, ah, oh, that’s the synod executive. I brought her to help me with props. I love this. “How to Lead When You Don’t Know Where You’re Going.” How to lead when you don’t know where you’re going. You know, and I’m back in that fire truck, and my wife didn’t know about this till today, so don’t tell her, but I’m in that fire truck, I cannot see where I’m going. I literally cannot see. The fog in Ohio is so thick you can almost taste it. It is right there. And I’m in a 20-ton fire truck, standing on the accelerator, racing death to the accident scene. Because you know you get an hour from accident to hospital. You get one hour. That’s the golden hour. If you want someone to live, you’ve got to get them to the hospital in an hour. That’s just the way it is. Well, you say one hour, okay. Where we lived, the hospital was 40 minutes away. So we had 20 minutes to get there and get them in an ambulance. Twenty minutes. Not an hour. How do you go race and beat death when you can’t see where you’re going? Go faster. You get a bigger fire truck. Get more training. None of these help if you can’t see where you’re going. You don’t know what’s coming up in the road. I remember asking John Love, strangely enough, front seat of the fire engine, Presbyterian minister and the funeral director. We showed up on an accident scene, and people just about had a heart attack. “I’m not that bad. They’re coming for me.” No, no, we’re not here for that. What do you do when you can’t see where you’re going? Going faster doesn’t help. Having more equipment doesn’t help. Having more training doesn’t help. Susan Beaumont says that, you know, maybe we’ve got to get out of this decision-making kind of mindset, where we look to ourselves for solutions to the problems. Where we define the problems by what we are and what we see and the things we see. Where we have meetings. Have you ever noticed we have meetings that it’s like, you ever been to California, going down here? And there’s that little building, you know, and you have to drive through, and they’re checking for produce? You’ve seen that little building. And I’m thinking what in the world? They’ve never stopped us. I don’t know, maybe because of our skin color? I don’t know what’s going on. But and you just drive on through. And I’m thinking, well, that was ridiculous. That has nothing to do with where I’m going, what I’m doing, and my purpose. And I kind of think sometimes that’s like prayers before and after meetings. You know, people, come on, we’ve got to do a prayer, and then we can get through to California and do what we’re going to do. What if we didn’t do that? What if the doing what we’re going to do was a little tiny bit at the beginning and the end of a meeting? And maybe the meeting wasn’t a meeting to decide, but a meeting, as Susan puts out, to discern God’s will, to listen to the spirit instead of the experts. To approach our time together with openness instead of advocacy, with looking for community instead of champions of a cause. That we approached it with expectation instead of expertise. That we sought completeness, wholeness, instead of the optimal solution to a set problem. What if we counted, not clock ticks, but heartbeats? That’s for all your poetry folks here, but what about the nuts-and-bolts people here? How does this work? It’s hard to do because we keep slipping into decision-making. And decision-making is needed and useful, but it’s not a be-all and end-all, especially if the church, especially if we don’t know what’s going on. How does this discernment work? Well, it’s taking time. It’s stillness. It’s listening. It’s deciding not to decide. It’s changing meetings into retreats. You know, what’s the purpose of the retreat? What’s the outcomes of the retreat? What’s the measurable products of a retreat? Susan says that in her things, one of the things she does, she has meetings where they covenant together that they will not make decisions during the meeting. Instead they’re there to listen to the spirit and be attentive and be prayerful. It sounds crazy just because we’re not used to it. One of the exercises I really like, and this may be concrete enough for you to decide, think about what she’s talking about and what others are talking about, and looking toward discernment as a way to figure out what to do as a church in these uncertain times as opposed to decisions and looking to the business model. And she calls it “shedding.” And shedding is a lot of things. It’s when you put your expertise aside. And what she invites everyone to do, and maybe it’s a requirement, I don’t know how she rolls, but what she says is that whatever the issue, problem, challenge is before the group, she invites everyone to write down what they’re absolutely certain of, what they absolutely know, their core understanding of the problem, to write that down on a piece of paper, their answer. And then she invites them to fold it and place it in the offering plate. And she puts the basket there in front of the table and says, “Here are our certainties. And we’re going to leave them there in the basket during our time together. Now, they’re still there. They’re not erased or lost or negated. But they’re just going to be set aside here. We’re going to keep them safe right here. We’re all going to watch them. And at the end of our time together, you’re welcome to pick them back up. You know, it’s nothing wrong or evil. But just for this time together we’re going to set aside our certainties that we advocate and believe and try to make happen. We’re going to set them aside and listen to what God is saying, what spirit is moving among us.” Weird. Kind of feels like Pilate must have felt talking to Jesus. What are you talking about, Jesus? Are you a king or not? Why are you being so difficult? It’s a simple question. Why can’t you decide? You’re in a great time of change where you’ve got to decide what to do. I hope you decide not to decide. I hope you decide to discern what to do. To put aside what you think has to happen. Oh, we’ve got to have a great preacher, a great minister. Got to have Christy. Right, mm-hmm. Yeah. Put it in there. Put those aside. You know? We’ve got to have someone here to get the youth back. We’ve got to have someone back here to establish Sunday School. We’ve got to have someone, I don’t know, I’m just saying these things out. I don’t know whatever certainty you have about what you need and what needs to happen. We’ve got to get back to that garage because that overhead crane is totally underused. Got to get that gone. I read that every time I come here. So put those aside. And then, you know, when you put your certainties aside, and your biases aside, and you expertise aside, when you put those all in, there’s room for the spirit. And that’s kind of the kingship Christ was talking about. I think. I think that was a business he was about. I can’t decide. I’m hoping more light will emerge. But it’s important to be open to that. And as long as we decide that we’re going to decide, you know, your problems and ratios and data and brainstorming and cost benefit analysis and all the great tools of business, we’re looking to ourselves and our expertise instead of to God and spirits moving. Well, how does that work out in the world? What’s an example? I belong to a service club up the road. And as many clubs, they were disrupted by the pandemic. I mean, this is a club that was like the nightmare of germ spreading. I mean, we had – it was in the rules. You got fined. You had to shake hands with everybody in the room. You had to. We had to go around and sit together. We had to – we were singing together. We were in the same room together. We couldn’t do any of that. We had board meetings. We couldn’t have board meetings where we discussed what to do and how to do it. Couldn’t do it. We had some folks that they couldn’t come – no one could come in person. Some people couldn’t do technology, and what are we going to do? Well, I’ll tell you what this club did. Three people, three very competent, three very successful, three very expertise business people did it all. We wound up meeting at the park. They set up the park. They bought all the food. Charged the club. It was all ready for it. The first one, me being an idiot, I brought food. And they go, oh, we don’t need that. We bought it all. Oh, okay. And so slowly over the 18 months these three people did all the work of the club. They got a debit card because it was easier to bill to the club if you had a debit card. You didn’t have to go through all the reimbursement from the treasurer. And the treasurer wasn’t coming out of her house because she was immunocompromised. And so she couldn’t even make the meetings, and she didn’t have tech to be in person. They got their names on all the accounts. I used to do the emails. I did emails out for our big fundraiser, our big thing. I did a couple, 300 emails. And so I was asking about is it time to send another email, goes no, no, we took the list, and we had our office staff do it. It’s all done. And they did a great job, those three. It was done efficiently, purposefully, and perfectly. And then the new president came, long-time member of the club. And at the board meeting he said, “You know, we never authorized you all to do this. We never said it was okay to have a debit card. We never said it was all right to change the names on all the accounts to you three people. We never said that you could take over this. We never said you could do that.” And he got angry. How dare they go against the perfect business plan? How dare they say there was something wrong with the perfect complete work that they did? It’s successful. They kept the club going. They made money. They kept dues. So they all quit and took half the club with them. Because they saved us. The new president, what do you think happened? The new president resigned, groveled back, asked them to come back saying, oh, it’s a big misunderstanding, let’s have a meeting, go through all that. Well, maybe some of that happened. But what happened with me, you know, he talked to me, and he said, “You know what they didn’t get, what they didn’t understand? This is a service club. We’re not a business. We’re not here to do things efficiently and purposefully and make everything exactly the way it should. We’re not here to hire people to do service and work, but they had their office staff doing all the work. We’re here for this person to do emails, for that person to bring the food, for this person to contact the businesses, for this person to do that. “And together we do good. And we become better people. And we make relationship with other people because all of us, no one’s doing it all. Everybody’s doing their part and doing a little part. And sure, it’s not perfect. It’s not the stellar achievement of a for-profit organization with a dedicated staff. But that’s not what we’re here for. We’re a service club so people, all the people can give service and do good for the community and for each other. That’s what they forgot. We don’t hire it done, even though it could be done even better. We do it for our souls and for our community, as well as for the people we help.” Now, there’s a club that decided not to be excellent, that decided not to solve all their problems in the best possible way, according to the business model. There’s a club that made a conscious choice, a costly choice. If we’re going to be a service club, everyone’s going to be having opportunity to do service, a good average whatever. We’re going to do this together. We’re going to go forward together. We’re going to learn. We’re going to make mistakes. But we’re going to get better. We’re going to help each other and ourselves. I think that’s what church should be. Not about perfection, not about what we think is tradition or what we have pride in or what we remember from the past, where we seek to have the people look to the community. But a group of people getting together, stumbling at times, but lifting one another up, saying we’re here for goodness and for God. We’re here to get better, to do good, and to be better. And that’s what I think Pilate missed, too, about how Jesus reigned, not with ordering of things to do, but with the changing of hearts and souls and minds. And that is church business. Amen.

Using a quote from Susan Beaumont's Book, "How to Lead When You Don't Know Where You're Going: Leading in a Liminal Season," Brian and Rebecca consider how practices of wonder and curiosity might serve the church in this time between pre-Covid and post-Covid worlds.

Every year when January winds to a close, one of two things begins to happen: You dig in and surge forward on the goals you made at the start of the year, or your commitment to those goals starts slipping away.   Simply having a goal and trying to attain it is not a recipe for success, which is why even the most committed action takers often struggle to reach their goals.   Without clarity on what you want and a plan to get there, it’s inevitable you’ll spin your wheels at best, and give up at worst.   Whether your new year goals have fallen by the wayside, or you’re still pushing toward them, tune into this episode to hear James’ and Dean’s personal strategies for setting up your year for success. They’ll also reveal the most common mistakes people make when striving for business goals, and tell you exactly what to do instead. Stop Making The Same Mistakes There are two ways to avoid mistakes. The first is to learn from other people’s. The second is, if you do make a mistake, learn from it and don’t repeat it. Not repeating your own mistakes requires being honest with yourself, and this is something that trips a lot of people up. Being honest with yourself is uncomfortable, especially if you confuse it with beating yourself up. If that’s how you see it, don’t beat yourself up. Just take an honest assessment at what happened, and use that information to avoid that mistake moving forward. Know Where You’re Going FIRST A lot of people plan their present without considering where they want to go. That’s like trying to use a GPS without putting in a destination. Step one is to look at where you want to be a year from now, three years from now, even a decade from now. Once you’re clear on that, reverse engineer the actions and outcomes it’ll take to get there. Map out the destination, then your milestones, which will help you plan effective immediate actions. WHO Do You Need To Be? Who you need to be to reach your goals is a step most people save until last (if they think about it all). Getting clear on your lifestyle, your business goals, who your customers are--all of that’s important. But who you need to be is most important of all, because it makes or breaks the creation of the life and business you map out. You can create a meticulous, step by step plan for getting your business and life exactly where you want them, but if you don’t believe you’re capable of following that path and having those outcomes, you’ll be right. If your business is stalled out especially, take a closer look at who you are now vs. who you need to be to hit and sustain that next level. Focus On What Makes The Biggest Difference One thing a lot of entrepreneurs struggle with is thinking THEY have to be the one to do everything in their business. But there’s only so much YOU can personally do, which is why it’s critical to focus your time on the things that’ll make the most difference in growing your business. The rest can be outsourced. Always remember that the answer to more business growth may be to do LESS, not more. There comes a point when adding more splits your focus so much that you’re doing 50 things poorly, instead of five things impactfully. Beware Aimless Execution Yes, you’ve got to take action on your plans, but it has to be the right action. Some entrepreneurs get hyper focused on just “taking action,” but they’re acting on the wrong things. That’s like trying to drive your car from here to the store by randomly turning the steering wheel instead of following a clear path. Clarity on where you get the biggest bang for your buck when it comes to taking action is an absolute must. Put your effort into the 20% that moves the needle, not the 80% that keeps you spinning your wheels.

In her beautiful multi-layered memoir, Flying Lessons (Through a Different Lens, $19.95 paperback, $6.99 e-book, March 2012) life coach, energy healer, and spiritual counselor Pamela Hale uses the story of her pursuit of a private pilot's license to help anyone—in the air or on the ground—to break free of “gravity” and realize one's potential to soar. Readers will journey with Pam as she conquers her own self-doubt and fear of flying. They too will gather wisdom from Clio, her flight instructor, and recognize the key challenges, Clio's solutions, and the gifts of each step in the journey. They will learn how to navigate the turbulence in their own lives. Broken into three parts that include seven “flight lessons” for soaring beyond your limits, each lesson also corresponds with a chakra, yoga pose, and an archetype, so the manual works on all levels of body, mind, and spirit. Lesson 1 – Know Where You're Going to Land Lesson 2 – Bring Enough Fuel for the Journey Lesson 3 – Take the Pilot's Seat Lesson 4 – Remember Why You Long to Fly Lesson 5 – Communicate with the Controllers Lesson 6 – Broaden Your Scan Lesson 7 – Give Your Way to the Winds From the “dipstick” that helps flyers manage their energy, to the story of how flying helped Pam in her cancer journey, to the ways her clients have navigated uncharted territory, Flying Lessons is a practical and entertaining journey in authentic power, freedom, and fulfillment. With a foreword by Alberto Villoldo, PH.D. and breathtaking aerial photos by the author, the book is the perfect companion for anyone who wants to step outside their safe place and learn how to spread their wings!
