Congratulations, Heather! You are the winner of the 50th anniversary copy…

E-mail me your address to claim your prize!
And watch Friday’s post for our next giveaway.
What can I say?…
I’m on a Summer roll!
So many of you have shared kind thoughts this past week here on TommyMom.
I appreciate them…
and am humbled that you perceive me as an example and inspiration.
Honestly…
I struggle with many of the same things that each of you do.
Shoot…
we’re all in this boat together.
One thing that is a tremendous help…
is knowing who you are…
and “what you’re made of.”
It makes all the difference in the world…
when negative naysayers…
as well as those that are well-meaning…
begin to criticize…
scrutinize…
and analyze…
what you’re doing.
In the throes of any or all of the above…
it is often difficult to find one’s self…
and to think clearly.
Perhaps you haven’t taken the time…
to introspectively ask these questions in awhile.
Maybe you should.
You change…
and you grow.
You progress to a different level…
in your Leadership Education journey…
over time.
Your children do the same.
Perhaps what worked yesterday…
simply isn’t cutting it now.
Something that would’ve terrified…
even a couple of years ago…
is now eagerly embraced.
There’s no doubt about it…
as we change…
and grow…
we see things differently.
With that in mind…
let me remind you…
and share with you…
some up and coming opportunities.
The great thing about organic TJEd…
is that no matter when…
or how often…
you choose to revisit the Phases and the Keys…
you will be the beneficiary.
Perhaps on a level…
that previously…
you weren’t even aware existed!
Temecula, California…
will be home to a Face to Face With Greatness #2…
September 10 and 11, 2010.
It is entitled…
“Thomas Jefferson Education: Mentoring the Classics.”
The question often arises…
as to whether or not you may participate in a #2…
without a #1.
The answer is “yes.”
If you need further information regarding this opportunity…
please contact Erika Lundquist at evlundquist@gmail.com.
The early bird price is $140/person and $270/couple…
until August 9th.
Perhaps you have taken the Face to Face series before.
But then…
you were in a different place.
Visiting…
revisiting…
and building…
where the Phases, Keys, and Community are concerned…
is a huge piece of that whole concept of knowing who you are.
Trust me…
it helps to clarify so very much…
when the waters get murky…
the sky gets cloudy…
the well-meaning objections and inquiries…
begin to fly.
Knowledge that can be easily referenced…
is a significant source of strength.
We are building quite a strong virtual community here…
and I, for one…
couldn’t be happier!
Can you tell that I’m ever-so-slightly…
social?
It’s part of why I’m so excited to announce…
that come October…
I’ll be “taking it on the road!”
Along with Son #2.
We’ve been invited to Arkansas and Missouri!
To bond…
with the great people in these states.
Oh…
and to discuss TJEd principles in a one day seminar…
that we will do as many times as the audience will bear!
If you have friends…
family…
and yes, even foe…
in these parts…
send them over!
So far…
in my initial “dealings”…
via the phone lines…
these great people couldn’t be friendlier!
They have a lot on the ball…
where TJEd…
and community are concerned.
I can’t wait to learn from them!
Contact Debbie Hardesty…
at dhardesty@windstream.net…
for further information and details.
In the meantime…
know that I…
along with many of you…
am taking some serious inventory…
evaluating current knowledge…
analyzing weaknesses and present positions…
so that I can go forth with even greater strength.
May you do the same!
Wahoooo! That is so cool. My address is 1008 Linda Vista Dr. Banning, CA 92220
Growth and change is inevitable as you progress on the leadership path. I felt it the first time I read A Thomas Jefferson Education and with each step I have taken to further my education I feel the growth and I see the change in perspective in myself in the way I parent and inspire my kids. I can honestly say that I gain something new each time I participate in a Face to Face, seminar, colloquium, conference call and dialoguing here on Tommy Mom. It really is as simple as Dr. DeMille says “the way to get started is to read a classic.” It sounds simple but it is profound if you actually do it because then you get it.

We are in “the boat together” Teri, and I’m glad you’re one of those at the Helm (no pun intended)!
