Frontiers Friday #69. Gifts That Keep On Giving
Frontiers Friday #69. Gifts That Keep On Giving
You are receiving this ahead of Friday because this Friday is Christmas Eve. I want you to get these gifts beforehand (see below).
🎁 A GIFT: An Online Training Program, Measured
I'm giving away a brand new course for the FIRST FIFTY PEOPLE ON THE FRONTIERS LIST.
Measured is a "nuts-and-bolts" course on how to integrate a feedback informed treatment (FIT) process into your clinical practice. This course costs $485 and it's yours as a gift. It's my way of saying thanks for being part of this community, especially for those who have been on the Frontiers for some years.
All you have to do is drop me an email, and if you are open to the idea, add 2 other colleagues name in the cc of the email. They will then get the course entirely for free as well.
From My Desk (Full Circles Archive) Become a Gifter.
I am still an apprentice with gift-giving. The practice of being a Gifter is an exercise in knowing how to love.
From My Desk (Frontiers Archive): Consistency
This short one might come in handy as we inch into the new year.
Consistency is not about intensity. It's about making promises to yourself and keeping them, and except that we might slip from time to time.
From My Desk (New) Drive Like a Grandma
Nothing condescending of Grandmothers--in fact, they are likely the people I most revere.
In this short post, I make the case of why we should all drive at the speed of life, not at the speed of light.
⏸ Words Worth Contemplating:
"Christmas is a strange season. When you’re a child, it is a season of presents. When you’re young, it’s a season of parties. When you get your own home, it’s a season of preparations. But when you get older, Christmas changes color drastically. Suddenly, out from behind the advertisements and big dinners, through the haze of old carols and soft candles, past the dazzling altars and sumptuous crib scenes, we begin to see what Christmas is really all about.
Christmas is about finding life where we did not expect life to be."
~ Author and Benedictine Nun, Joan Chittister.
Reflection:
Remind yourself to make the distinction between what is life-giving and what is life-diminishing...
May you find the spaciousness to allow more life-givingness in this season.
