January 2021

Happy New Year!

Here are a few thoughts as we begin a new year.

Question: What's your word for the year? Stolen from John Maxwell, each year I have a theme word that becomes my focus.

Reminder: "You do not rise to the level of your goals. You fall to the level of your systems." - James Clear. As you make your goals, remember the power of consistent habits and systems. Extraordinary people do ordinary things really well!

Encouragement: No. It's a complete sentence. Boundaries are vital! Sometimes we have to say no, so we can say yes to the very best. For those in leadership positions, there is a great book called Boundaries for Leaders by Dr. Cloud.

Challenge: 2020 presented a lot of learning opportunities. We don't get to press skip on challenges. How will you use your story and experience to live out your purpose? Is there someone else you can help in 2021?

Surprise: By 25 January (my Birthday!) Aaron and I will be on Pacific Standard Time - the Edwards AFB OSI Commander got fired, and Aaron was handpicked to backfill permanently. We are driving across America with Rory and excited for another leadership adventure!

Blessings to you and yours for this new year!
