For the past few months Heather, Cheryl, Misty and I have been working with a group of local teachers, administrators, and parents to develop a program for elementary school kids. Our goal is to help young people realize that they are a contribution; that they were born into this world with a unique set of talents and interests and that discovering them is the first step to living a happy life.

Think School of Shine instead of House of Shine and instead of teaching all ten principles we are focusing on just one - Use Your Strengths.

We affectionately call this program,What's Your Shine?

Students attending the school where we are piloting the program have not had the benefit of visiting our website over the past few years, so we are starting at the very beginning and defining what we mean by Shine.

Strengths

Hobbies

Interests

Natural Talents

Everyone's Got 'Em

Tune in tomorrow and discover how you can help develop a portion of the program. In the meantime, visit us in the Comment Section and tell us... What's your shine?

Shining off until tomorrow...

    Finally I am getting a chance to check in today. We are still not living in our house, so I continue to be a little out of sorts. I am hoping by the end of this week that we have some sense of normality in our home. I am realizing that my anti-strength is coping with a schedule that is out of whack.

    Now for my Shine...

    Strengths: I am creative and I like to dream
    Hobbies: reading and writing (and maybe one day again soon, tennis)
    Interests: world events, education, leadership development and making a difference
    Natural Talents: organizing and teaching
    Everyone's Got "Em:
