My little haven by the side of the "virtual" road; with apologies to Sam Walter Foss (1858-1911). Friday, September 17, 2010. Commit to Nonviolent Communication.

G's Cottage: 2009 Mid Year Review
http://gscottage.blogspot.com/2009/06/2009-mid-year-review.html
My little haven by the side of the "virtual" road; with apologies to Sam Walter Foss (1858-1911). Tuesday, June 30, 2009. 2009 Mid Year Review. The end of June always seems like a good time to do a mid-year review. It’s not precisely the middle of the year but it is the break-point between the sixth and seventh months. It’s also nice to do it before July Fourth since the summer seems to get busier and more hectic after that point. In January I posted my Word of the Year. It can be all too easy, without c...

Next week is Thanksgiving and the start of the countdown to the end of 2010. What has the year brought for you? For me this has been the best of years and the worst of years. And while I already know that I have missed some benchmarks set out at the beginning of the year many of those were replaced or overwritten by unforeseeable new goals. The mi...

G's Cottage: Miracles are a team venture
http://gscottage.blogspot.com/2009/08/miracles-are-team-venture.html
My little haven by the side of the "virtual" road; with apologies to Sam Walter Foss (1858-1911). Thursday, August 6, 2009. Miracles are a team venture. The four ducks in the photo may be looking for a miracle but they are not a team. Those of us in transition might have a similar problem. We're looking for a miracle but we are not building our team or even getting on our own team to move to the level where a miracle is possible. What’s your name? Where are you from?
