I’ve been crazy busy the last few weeks and have been slow
about updating. Again, to the three of
you reading, I apologize J
But, I couldn’t resist sharing a few things from the past
weekend. I had a fantastic time in NYC
with some of my favorite people—two of whom are accountability team members for
the quest, Tippa and Beth.
While we were in the city we had the pleasure of seeing
Rocky on Broadway. It was SO good. Seriously.
If you have the chance to go see it, you must. We sat in an area where we were able to go on
stage for the last 20 minutes and be a part of the show. It was like experience overload. The music was great, the acting fantastic and
the stage was truly one of the best I’ve seen in a very long time. That’s where the blog title partially comes
from, Rocky takes great pride in the fact his nose ain’t broke yet.
I was so glad to share this experience with these
girls. It was an uplifting story and gave
us some quotable lines for the rest of the weekend.
At one point of the weekend both of my accountability folks
commented that they weren’t doing much as coaches. I had to disagree. Doing stuff is up to me. Giving me a listening ear and encouragement
is their job. And both of them have been
terrific at it. I don’t need a lot of
handholding, but when I need it, they don’t let me down.
During a short jaunt to FAO Schwartz, Beth and I had a fun
encounter with the greeter. First, the guy
knows how to work a large fur hat.
Second, he was so happy and funny—it was a pleasure to talk to him. I told him I thought he was born to do that
job and he shared such a heartfelt explanation about doing what you love and
not allowing a desire for more than you need take over. He said he wants to be happy, so he got a
great job doing something he loves.
That conversation made me think about one of my challenges
for this month: listening to my own
voice. This guy has it figured out. So, I’m looking forward to seeing what I have
to say to myself.
Have a great week, and “Yo Turtles”
