Your wisdom will come

Because we have a serious WWII buff in the family, we finally made time to see “The Darkest Hour”.  It’s the story of Winston Churchill’s rise to Prime Minister in the middle of the most turbulent time for Great Britain.  In short, he must decide whether or not to go against his advisors, his friends and all the political pressure to stand for what he believes in his heart is the right thing to do.

Never surrender. 

In his darkest hour, Winston’s track record of failed strategies and countless lives lost haunts him, threatening to weaken his resolve.  In the strongest, most tender moment of the film, Winston’s wife Clemmie, (Kristin Scott Thomas) takes hold of his hands.  They are the same hands he’s been wringing in fear and trembling over making a decision that, no matter the outcome, will inevitably cost everything.  She leans in, looks deeply into his eyes, and …

Green means go, right?

This story is an embarrassing confession.

When I was 14, I thought I knew how to drive a car.   For some reason, I also thought that it was a good idea to sneak out of the house in my parent’s car and drive to go pick up friends.  This was obviously a very bad idea.

One day in particular, I remember having a car full of friends as we approached an intersection.  Remember, I’m only 14 and haven’t ever been to driver’s ed.  I had no official instruction on how to drive a car.

As we approach the light in the left turn lane, the light turned green.  Green means go.  So I went.  I turned left, full speed ahead.  Right at that moment, a station wagon came screeching though the intersection swerving to miss us.

It scared us to death.

We thought,  That crazy lady must not have been paying any attention at all. Clearly, …

What does prosperity look like to you?

A while back, I was looking for something in the binder I used to collect all my notes and drawings from the earliest days of HeartStories.  It was well before it had a name or any structure to it.  I was working through the Creative Emergence process with Michelle James to discover what was in my heart to create in the world.

I stopped suddenly at this page.  It’s a marker drawing I did of “Prosperity”.  (Clearly, I am a talented marker artist whose work should be world renowned!)

Prosperity was one of ten words I chose out of list to describe what was emerging in me.  It was an interesting choice for the exercise, so Michelle asked me to stop what we were doing, to quickly draw it out.  

What does prosperity look like to you?

This is what I drew. It’s a big house on a large property with all the …
