You Can Do That!

Late this morning, the staff of the Liberty campus of Restore started a discussion group about the book Exponential by Dave & Jon Ferguson.  One of the things we discussed from Chapter 1 was how empowering it is when someone hears your dream and says to you "You can do that!"

Just a few hours later after a great discussion, I was blessed to watch the video above.  Now, the video is a TED talk - and most TED talks are 18 minutes.  To many people (including you), 18 minutes is a lot of time to give.  But while you might give up 18 minutes of your life to watch it, you might also gain a year's worth of inspiration as you hear the story of how an 8-foot hooded woman empowered a 14-year-old poet and got her to believe "You can do this."

Reproduction - A Blog Series

Reproduction0

Over on The RiverTree Project blog, I am beginning a 12-part series on the topic of Reproduction.  Six of the posts will be about the difficulties I am seeing with Reproduction.  And six of the posts will be about the "positives" of Reproduction I am observing through my Leadership Residency at Restore.

I will only be posting about 3 times each week, so the series will end up going through the first week of December.  But hopefully the short posts will serve me well in the future when I go back to read what I have been learning and observing during this time in my life.

So feel free to head over, learn with me, and leave a comment if you so desire.
