Over the past week I have enjoyed time off from work with my family. To be present with them during this holiday time was a true gift. A long weekend getaway to San Diego was soul-cleansing.
Today I share a few quotes that have lifted my spirits throughout this opennining week of 2024. Happy New Year!
Blessings on your week ahead!
Vow in this new year to acknowledge God’s grace in every worthy thing you’re called to offer up. Practice marveling on the spot when something flows from your hand. Thank God humbly each evening for the day’s opportunities to manifest your gifts. -Susan H. Swetnam, Daily Reflections for Advent & Christmas
In her vision of a deeply grounded interior life, Teresa of Avila regarded humilty as a hinge virtue. It allows one to move from a sense of self-centeredness to that of unity with God and communion with God’s creation. To know who we are, as well as who we are not, is a key component of this great virtue- Kathy Hendricks, Give Us This Day
When you’re struggling, you really lean into your values. You lean into your culture. Culture doesn’t just exist when things are going well. If anything, it has to exist when things are not going well…So, that’s what I lean into: relationships within the team, communication with everybody and perspective. Reminding everyone how lucky we are…I think about this stuff every single day with every single guy. That’s probably my main job. It really is. It’s not the X’s and O’s. It’s monitoring and caring for these guys, and helping them have the best experience they can. -Steve Kerr, Golden State Warriors NBA Basketball Coach
