Somehow I just know your visioning exercise is going to be a huge success.

I could definitely see myself becoming a podcast junkie with this list alone. And your note on Intelligence Squared? This line, especially, cracked me up: "This podcast makes me feel all smart and brainy just by listening to it. Hell, I feel smart just having it in my playlist."

We discovered a leaky area in the foundation of our home when we moved in almost fifteen years ago and I still remember how traumatic that was. I love how you find the metaphor even in these rather trying circumstances: "slow, steady movement can really go a long way in breaking through barriers." I'm going to take that thought with me into the day and see if I can tackle my to do list with a little more grace, beginning with some movement!Sue Annhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00341087465459991306noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7078605613513253499.post-91887726136483599422015-02-09T06:21:45.769-06:002015-02-09T06:21:45.769-06:00Ooh, I love this!
