CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
Mentor once challenged me to “Work ON the organization. Not, IN the organization.” Its the time of year when we all get reflective and begin developing goals for the coming year.  Challenge everyone to take time to examine their lives from a 30,000 foot few and consider how they can impact those in their “organization” (family, friends, work teams, church, community) most positively with their new goals.

ANNOUNCEMENTS:
Nada… Should have mentioned 2nd F lunch on Friday downtown.

CIRCLE OF TRUST/BOM:
I named each corner of the lap we ran as family members. We went to each turn of the lap together, did the workout together. We fought to be present, stay together, enjoy, put in the work. I encourage everyone during the holiday’s to fight to be present, have a great attitude, change your perspective. This could be the last holiday with any of your family members so be present and make some good memories that can last a lifetime.
