My parents were people of great intelligence and character. They taught us to love and have faith in God; by example they taught us our daily life ethics; they forced us to make difficult decisions and live with those decisions; they showed us the importance of family, and they encouraged us to be the best we could possibly be on any given day.
What does it take to be your best? I guess that answer would depend on who is answering.
The issue here is are we working to raise the standards and be the best we can be? or... are we lowering the standards in order to meet them? If we lower the standards, how are we going to be better than the competition? How are we going to be leaders and progress in our profession? How are we going to gain the respect of our community and the people we serve and with whom we associate?
What will it take to be your best?
First, decide on what it will take; Make your time line and list your steps to get there. Identify your support people and talk with them; Acknowledge possible obstacles and letdowns; make your encouragement cards and post in your office; Take a deep breath and go for it. At the end of your task, celebrate! Be proud of your accomplishment and use your gained knowledge to help your family, your organization, but most importantly..yourself! Congratulations

What Is Lonnie's Room?
There is a room in our home to which I navigate more frequently than the others. It makes me feel secure, it is cozy, and it is quiet. From the peak of the room, there is a large rusty metal angel suspended by a very thin wire. It would apear as if the angel is hovering over me, protecting, and always present. The lighting in the room creates a virtual display of dancing shadows around the angel.
Every evening when I am in "MY ROOM", I think of what Luciano de Crescenzo once said, "We are all like one-winged angels. it is only when we help each other that we can fly."
