Grace
I witnessed a miracle today. My dear cats, Frannie and Sienna, curled up on my bed and took a nap together. This may not seem like much to you, but some miracles have to be explained to appreciate in value.

Meanwhile Back at Camp
Lent has begun. When last we saw Jesus he was in the wilde ess fending off temptation. So, what are the disciples doing? What are they up to? For that matter, what are we up to? The Bible doesn’t really go into the personal lives of the twelve we’ve come to know as Jesus’ disciples. We do know that they were Jewish, members of their community, family men with wives and children at home depending on them. Some made their living as fishermen; Matthew collected taxes, which made him about as popular as an Internal Revenue Service agent is today.

Directing
February 2011 brought good times to the land: George Clooney came to Cincinnati to film his latest movie. I indulged in what became the local hobby of visiting a set location, just to see what it was like, and, of course, to see George in action.

Holy Labor
Labor Day weekend always seems to come so quickly, doesn’t it? For children enjoying a summer break, for beach combers still searching for that one, brilliant shell to add to their collection and for those of us who relish a leisurely walk through our neighborhoods in the cool of the early evening, the inevitable approach of fall is always a day early. Labor Day itself, set aside to honor the workers that keep our country running, is a noble way to complete the season known for relaxation. This weekend reminds us that work can be more than the way we earn income.

Think Love
Anne Shirley, heroine of the book Anne of Green Gables, taught me a thing or two about love. Having grown to the age of twelve in an orphanage, she finds herself relocated to Prince Edward Island, to the home of an aging brother and sister hoping to keep their small farm running with the help of a strong, young lad. Instead they discover Anne eagerly waiting for them at the train station. What appeared to be a huge mistake became the blessing of three lifetimes.

Times Change
What becomes of a football fan whose team loses in the playoffs? We weep, we mourn, we ask for consolation hugs and we begin talking of next year. It’s never too soon to dream. January was built for clearing out the mental clutter, making space for our imaginations to work and thinking ahead to how we want our lives to look. Dreams become reality when we focus our attention and act to make them so.

Our Best
Before the holidays people love to share stories about gifts they are giving. After Christmas, it’s all about what we have received. Giving and receiving is an old cadence, worthy of repeating. Two colleagues confirmed that belief for me in seeing their delight over a new tablet one received as a gift. The other has a 16-month-old son who gave his dad a Christmas morning described to me as, “A blast!” Magical times, these holiday seasons through which we pass each year. Between Christmas and New Year’s Day come special surprises, unexpected delights. Pay attention.

Re: Union
Presidential election results still being counted November 6 didn’t deter the media from speculating about the “great divide” in our country. In retrospect, I wish Hostess had announced its decision to close down the Twinkie production line sooner. But my diehard faith in the process that brings us together every four years to choose national leadership kept me centered on the truth: what appears as division is masquerading as wholeness.

Belonging
Have you found what you want? I ask clients this question at the end of each coaching session, making sure that loose ends are addressed before we part. The client’s job is to show up, be ready to work and ask for what they need. Many clients get edgy around that asking part, preferring to focus on what they can give. Asking implies neediness, an inability to function on our own in a culture that celebrates independence and self-made lives. But coaching, at its core, is about knowing and receiving what we most want, in order to pass that on to others in our own practices.

Conversational Avenues
Independence Day weekend here in the United States invites the citizenry to enjoy the traditions that surround celebrating our emergence as a nation in 1776. We love our parades, picnics, fireworks and speech readings, practices that uphold values of community and hope we still cherish. Our history is checkered with less stellar actions as well, so this day is also a call to recommit ourselves to what is better, not only for the United States, but for the world. Another tradition is the three-day-weekend road trip.

So We Are Called
As I write today we are two days past Easter and one day away from the income tax filing deadline here in the United States. Redemption wrapped in hope could not be more powerfully met in any two days. Or so it seems. Easter is about believing that God's power can defy death. Paying taxes is ...
