She said the seed would open to put down roots, and strong roots were the most important part in growing the plant.My mother had two green thumbs.

Real Rest. Really?
It’s an act of trust.
Laughter. The sound emanated from the mobile phone speaker, filling my office. This was the eighth phone conversation and the eighth response of incredulous laughter.

Life-giving rhythms for flourishing leaders
