#410: *QUOTE* SPOTLIGHT

Every couple of months, I revisit the incredible spotlight pieces on the CFC website, reading them and thinking how lucky I am to get to know and share time and space with you all. It's a privilege to be part of a community that brings so much goodness, light, and love into the world. I appreciate many of you sharing your work, your wisdom, and your heart. So I've included a small handful of quotes from past spotlight pieces. And below Tim Vogt's quote, I attached a special photo taken with him this past October. Here is the link to the CFC website with the full writings.

#409: SPOTLIGHT: Jaime Posa

Today's spotlight is a little different than usual as it does not come with a specific question. However, Jaime's piece reminds me of Dorie's spotlight from a couple months back, which sparked a thoughtful conversation over a Zoom call with many of you around gardening -- both in the literal and figurative sense. In other words, nurturing both plants as well as relationships, and what that looks and feels like.

#407: SPOTLIGHT: Muayyad Al-Chalabi

Question for Muayyad:

Does one person first come to mind: In your very very first “adult” job -- when you were perhaps first out of college or over the age of 21 let’s say – is there someone that pops to mind who brings a smile to your face not because of anything in your specific relationship but just because of who they were or how they moved through the world?

#405: SPOTLIGHT: Beck Sullivan

Question for Beck:

The Serenity Prayer offers: “Grant me the serenity to accept what I cannot change, the courage to change the things I can, and the wisdom to know the difference…”. With this thought, does something come to mind that you couldn’t change but had (or are having) trouble accepting?

#403: SPOTLIGHT: Joe Bruzzese

Question for Joe:

There is an idea that we can learn from every single person on the planet. But there are also deeply ingrained habits we have been trained in that “teachers” have a formal designation which might limit our scope for learning. With that thought, does someone come to mind in the past five weeks that you wouldn’t consider a “formal” teacher at all but who you learned something special from… (perhaps even someone you aren’t even fond of) ?
