In Dwelling

I'm Roz, and this is my relaxed space. It's about fun, good conversation and — well yes — good conversation. Pull up a well-padded armchair and help yourself to something to drink. You'll find cheese and crackers on the sideboard. What's new with you?

If you're looking for things in a more serious or spiritual vein, you can check out Exultet where I write that sort of thing.

Church, coaching and vegetable omelets

Today I attended a "start up" church (a 'church plant' to those of you from evangelical backgrounds). I had met the pastor (a young guy with about 6 kids, at least 3 of whom are adopted) at the the Hope-Calvin basketball party and had a great conversation with him and his wife. I liked the service quite a lot - an excellent mix of music (though most sung at a faster tempo than I would have preferred), good grounding in Scripture, and clearly a lot of people who really mean what they say and want to be there. However, I'm not sure that I'll go back simply because the combination of distance and demographics-unlike-me (mostly young families) makes it unlikely that I'd find the community and depth of relationships that I'm hoping for. I've already been to one church that's very close to my apartment and will be going to others as time allows.

This week gives me my first chance to be in the Performer rather than the Learner role in my job. I'm coaching regularly all week, will give a workshop, and otherwise am the face of professional coaching to the company employees who are at the Center. I'm looking forward to everything except the early morning hours - breakfast is a prime opportunity to meet with people for coaching. At least there's absolutely no fear that I won't be eating well. The executive chefs (Gus and Steve) are legendary. Thankfully, even the healthy choices taste terrific.

All the best to all of you.
