Personal Mission Statement Workshop

Image

I recently heard a statement that said September is the new January.
I get that!  I am so ready for the crisp weather that's around the corner.  The fall also signifies new beginnings for some of us.  Starting school, new projects, etc.   Yes, I'm a little sad to see summer go, but I am also anticipating what God has around the corner.

Since I "retired" earlier this year, I've been busy and one of the things that has been in the works is a workshop I am presenting in September called the Discover Your Personal Mission Workshop.

Does that sound intimidating to you?  Well, it might.  But don't check out just yet.

What is a mission statement anyway?  Dave Ramsey describes it like this:

A personal mission statement defines who you are as a person (or as a team member where you work) and identifies your purpose, whether that’s in the office or simply in life. It explains how you aim to pursue that purpose, and why it matters so much to you.

To me, a mission statement is simply a series of statements that describe how your unique strengths and giftings can impact others.

So, let me tell you a little bit about the workshop.  We will spend some time taking a look at your gifts and the things that really matter to you.  Those markers will be the foundation for writing your very own personal mission statement.

I'll be walking you through steps to help you create a statement that will actually give you freedom in your journey.  It will help you live with intention and clarity.  It's a road map for how to make decisions (am I the only one who gets side-tracked when there are decisions to be made?)

It's actually freeing and I will be sharing how it personally helped me over the last few months.  If you want to read an older post about writing your mission statement, you can find it on my blog, Petals of Friendship.. This class will be more detailed than the post, so if you're a hands-on learner, you're going to like it.  Plus we get to hang out for a few hours.  Oh, and one little surprise...the class includes a very, very simple artsy/craftsy project.  (Don't be scared.)  

If you think you'd like to join me on September 12th, please reserve your seat by visiting Willow's sign up page. Here's the direct link:

Joy to you,

My heart was racing.  I had a tug inside of me to make a call to the local community college to inquire about teaching a continuing education class.  I had always had a desire to teach, and the bubbly stir inside of me kept pushing me to act.  My only problem was that  the conversation in my head made me want to run and hide.  But the stir was so very strong.  I had to do something.  And then I remembered a teaching I had just heard by Joyce Meyer.  She spoke about fear and how it can grip your life.   Her solution was simple.  She said, "Whatever you need to do, do it afraid."   A light blub moment !   Her words interrupted that internal conversation, and pushed me to make a choice and shift my thinking.  I marched to the phone....afraid....and made the call to the college.  I asked if they were in need of instructors and before I knew it,  one thing led to another.  By the end of the call, I ...

I'm a piece of work. Artwork that is!

  “God is not a technician.   God is an Artist.     This is the God who made you.     The same God who lives inside you.     He comes into us, then comes out of us, in a million little ways.”       Emily Freeman "A Million Little Ways" For me, one of the little ways is through collage.   In my class this weekend, I listened, tried to retain (big challenge for this messy mind of mine) and then apply.   One thing was certain, when I thought too much about what I wanted to create, I became stuck.   I had to stop and release that urge to strive.   Strive for what?  Perfection, inability to commit?  A little of both.    Thankfully, I caught myself and decided to just go for it and slap a piece of collage paper on my canvas.   That wasn’t so bad.   Now I was able to exhale.   Once I did that, my heart was stirred and I was able to move forward with anticipati...

What I learned in March

By
Another day of snow.  The amount we'd been getting was absurd.  But this one particular day, there was an amazing snowfall.  Even though I really, really wanted to complain, I just couldn't.  It was way to beautiful.  As I drove to work, I looked at the trees along my route.  Each covered perfectly with a velvety ribbon of white.  Just amazing.  How could I possibly complain?  So as I drove, I took it all in.  Any other day, maybe the snow would not have received such a welcome, but this day, it did.  I decided to celebrate instead of complain.  So what happened?  Well, my disposition changed.  Since then, I focused on a simple prayer.  Lord, change me.  Three little words.  Because when it comes down to it, the driver for my mood is my attitude, my perspective, my thinking...all of it.  Learning and saying these three little words was a huge graduation for me.  It gave me a sense of peac...
