I've read that book, too, and found some helpful and life deepening <i>"take-aways"</i> there. Lori, I'm wondering if you would consider writing the occasional article for our blog. I'm looking to expand our sphere a little and I like your work. Let me know. ~ Mike Knapp Hey Laurie,

Nice article! I’ve read that book, too, and found some helpful and life deepening “take-aways” there. Lori, I’m wondering if you would consider writing the occasional article for our blog. I’m looking to expand our sphere a little and I like your work. Let me know.

Valenti Mon, 05 Dec 2011 21:15:28 +0000 http://www.thinking2stepsahead.com/?page_id=14#comment-176 It was fun to visit with you today. I so appreciate your comment about God putting us together because the last few days for me have been 'so what are you really getting accomplished here, Valenti?' Winter is my season for that (I'm totally a summer sunshine girl) so it's always good to get a lift on a cold and cloudy day. God bless you. Look forward to meeting you, face to face, on December 22. I will get together with Sheriff Wrinkle in the next day or two and I'm sure he will approve your visit with the women inmates. Blessings, LV It was fun to visit with you today.

It's not the process of thinking that hurts, it's the result of what you're thinking that can cause the "pain". Gotta do it though if you want to "cure" the pain.

It is a much more emotional type of pain. I think that the real "pain" of thinking is simply the resistance to do the thing that we need to do! This kind of pain is evidenced in many parts of our lives, such as procrastination; overcoming a resistance, a friction.

Very good info-keep it coming! I will keep checking it out when possible-I hold myself accountable for a lot, so often I am a little delayed in responding. I also checked the book out and look forward to working through it more-thank you for passing it on to me. Thanks so much for T2SA class-it was very enlightening and thought provoking!

Of course the tornado in Joplin brought back memories of our losing everything in 2003. I pray for the people who are still in shock over the event. I hope that when they are finally able to step back from crisis mode they see the opportunity ahead of them instead of the loss behind them. As you know, our tornado eventually turned into one of the biggest blessings God ever bestowed on us. We didn't have so much loss of life though. I can't even imagine how terrible that has to be. I'm jazzed about the blog. Thanks for your unending support and friendship. Thanks Cindy. Of course the tornado in Joplin brought back memories of our losing everything in 2003.

I have to wonder if some of the folks in Joplin didn't think they were being raptured yesterday, and then I immediately thought of you when I heard about the tornados......Do good on your blog. I look forward to reading more. In fact, I can't wait. I just hope that you are safe and all is well.
