Rejoice! Today is the eighteenth day of the month - the day newcomers and veterans, alike, join together and participate in the House of Shine's time honored tradition.
High-Low-Aha.
In the true spirit of community, we keep the rules of play easy. That way, someone skating onto our website for the very first time can participate as easily as veterans who have been around for years.
Rules of Play:
Visit us in the Comment Section and tell us about your highs (best things that have happened since April 18), your lows (worst things that have happened since April 18), and your ahas (things you have learned since April 18).
As it turns out, we are pretty convinced that, "High-Low-Aha" not only keeps our community thriving, but that it also keeps you shining. The monthly invitation to ponder our successes, failures, and lessons learned is the perfect pause in our all-too-hectic lives. Without the break, we run the risk of not living purposefully.
I will start.
High: Getting outside my comfort zone, again, and participating in Leadershape at UT-Chattanooga; new work opportunities; thoughtful notes; updates to our house; date nights with Richard; helping others reach their goals; and welcoming new friends into my life.
Low: Rain; chilly weather; unfinished work; unmet responsibilities; and unnecessary drama.
Aha: I learned a lot this month. My most significant learnings came from people I met at Leadershape. I learned how different our experiences can be, yet how similar each of us is at our core. I learned that most of us impose more limitations on ourselves than others place on us. And I learned that I am growing more introverted as I get older.
Your turn.
Shining off until tomorrow...
