Your Gazette arrived amidst the chaos of moving day. I carefully saved it until later that evening when I dropped down into the depths of your writing. What a gift! Like a favorite book, I needed to lay it aside for awhile and allow all the richness to fill me. Thank you for such deep inspiration-which couldn't have come at a better time.

Our Challenges are the Call to Greatness
Only challenge produces the opportunity for greatness. Given the extraordinary challenges the world faces today, the potential for greatness is monumental.
- James Kouzes & Barry Z. Posner
For so many of us, the last few years have been personally and collectively challenging. Calling forth all our strength, demanding we dip/g deep into our spiritual well and hone our emergency tool kits so that no matter what chaos touches us, we can return to center. The greatest gift of these times of epoch change has been the call to our greatness. Sometimes the call is so silent, it is barely perceptible except to the trained ear. Other times it shakes us up like a cacophonous horn blowing for all the world's souls to come to attention.

Your Resolution for 2005:
COMMIT TO GREATNESS
You make a living by what you get.
You make a life by what you give.
- Winston Churchill
Committing to greatness is a pledge to look at your life and ask, "Do I positively transform those I know? Does my life-- in every area-- reflect my core values? Do I add value to the world? Am I committed to enhancing quality as well as consciousness for those around me?" Greatness is moving beyond material goals to creating everlasting changes for yourself, your family and our world, living a life that reflects your beliefs and positively impacts others. Most of us want to reach greatness, but it is not always easy. Beware these following pitfalls on the road to greatness

Are You Living Your Greatness?
  1. You make great money and have a loving family, but something inside feels empty and unanswered. You:
    1. have an affair with one of your coworkers to "spice" things up.
    2. buy something special for yourself.
    3. begin to look for what it is in life that will give you greater sense of purpose and value.
    4. run off to Tahiti.

  2. You tell your boss that you have decided to resign, so you can pursue work that is more meaningful to you. She pleads with you to stay, offering to give you a new company car and increase in vacation time. You:
    1. demand more money also.
    2. accept the offer, booking a week at Club Med, hoping it will take the edge off your growing frustration.
    3. graciously decline.
    4. request an Aston-Martin.
