vsanford Spend 20 minutes being inspired and reminded that there are no scraps of men, no scraps of women. We are all able to contribute, all worth saving. All worth grace.

vsanford Though it sounds trivial, I need this quote to help me figure out which car I wantto buy. Which is really just a metaphor for sorting out my values from the noise around me. The reminder that my time is limited startled me this morning when I read this quote on Facebook by a friend who worked with Steve Jobs. True, I had been thinking some vague thoughts along these lines as I battle myself and those who are advising me along my new car purchase. More importantly, I have been thinking about thes

vsanford As a leader, wife, friend I listen every day. I talk a lot too but that's a different post. Listening is hard work and I don't always get what the other person is trying to say to me. I also think listening is the only way I can actually connect with the other person; the only way I can understand and engage the world around me. Julian's short conversation on improving listening is thought provoking and definitely not the 5 lessons you learned in communication class. Watch, listen and connect.

vsanford My friend Garrett and his friends are famous! Shorecrest High School students made a "lip-dubs" video for school spirit and it's wonderful, joyous and funny. One of the school teachers challenged is students to make a video as a class project. 4 other teachers caved to pressure and about 150 student participated. Now the competing school is in the game and a "lip-dub" competition is under way in North Seattle. My friend is the kid in the green sweatshirt and yellow shirt -- he powers the wheelchai

vsanford I cannot express how moved I was by Keith's comment. The passionate plea for cooperation and health for all Americans. Regardless of your opinion of Keith and of our political stance, this is worth listening to and thinking about. Keith is right: the debate is about our life and our death and the days in between.

vsanford This video link was waiting in my inbox this morning. I hope you find it as inspiring as I did. Even if you don't play golf, you will be moved to find the best in yourself, no matter how deeply it is buried, and bring it forward.

vsanford My friend called me yesterday after listening to the Bob Edwards Show. He told me about a website hosted by former CNN anchor, Daryn Kagan. Fired abruptly from CNN, Daryn decided to find out what was possible; to explore what she really wanted to do with her life; to find her purpose; her reason. Those are such cliche phrases that we sometimes forget what they are really trying to communicate. We all want to be our best. We all want to understand how we engage with the world. We all want to honor our
