Seven habits of highly effective people (adapted from Covey)

1. Act responsibly and in a positive manner
2. Always keep the end goal in mind.
3. Prioritise by attending to first things first while learning to say yes and no if needed.
4. Strive to develop a win-win agreement
5. Seek information in order to understand issues and then communicate it back to be understood. Respond with understanding rather judgement.
6. Open the minds and hearts of others to new options, new possibilities, new alternatives and new committments.
7. Make a list of things you can and will do to sharpen your saw by involving all aspects of humankind. (physical, spiritual, social and emotional)

In memory of Jonah- " Footprints on the Heart"

http:\\www.networkedblogs.com\blog\restorying-your-lifeSome people come into our lives and quickly go
Some people move our souls to dance.
They awaken us to a new understanding
with the passing whisper of theirr wisdom,
Some people make the sky more beautiful to gaze upon'
They stay in our lives for a while.

Check your schedule ,it might not be today!

I woke up this morning to the lovely  sound of birds chirping and beautiful blue skies, it was a glorious new day. I had an exam to write and was so eager to get there that upon arrival I realised that my exam was only scheduled for the next day.

strength to face a challenge

This morning we had a bridal shower for a young lady and the fun,sharing and caring brought such strength to the bride to be. She felt a strength to embrace the new life she will enter into. I guess that's what's important,strength in caring for others.

Why" Restorying" rather than restoring

The Exodus story can be used as a means of  " Restorying" ones life. This story gives vivid imagery of people believing that if they leave Egypt and the slavery that Pharaoh had them in, they will be leaving a chapter of bondage and entering a new chapter that will allow them to change their story. I believe that as we explore the bible and its influence , we to will " Restory" our lives. Happy blogging!

Wow... I'm blogging

This is my special place where we can dream together about many things, join me on this wonderful journey in 'Restorying your life"
