What's Your Story?
I picked up Don Miller's latest book as an after thought while standing in line at the bookstore back in July. We were getting some reading material for the girls for a road trip were were about to take, and just before giving the cashier my money, I handed her A Million Miles in a Thousand Years ... because it was on sale, and because it was about someone who rode his bike across the US.
I could not put it down. It "spoke" to me on so many levels. Get it? Bicycle spokes ... spoke to me ;-)
Our lives are amazing - each telling a different story ... what's yours?

(PS - To the friend I let borrow this book of mine. Will I ever see it again.)
Oh, So That Explains It!
As you may know, the Clifton StrengthsFinder measures the presence of talent in 34 categories called "themes." These themes were determined by Gallup as those that most consistently predict outstanding performance. The greater the presence of a theme of talent within a person, the more likely that person is to spontaneously exhibit those talents in day-to-day behaviors. Focusing on naturally powerful talents helps people use them as the foundation of strengths and enjoy personal, academic, and career success through consistent, near-perfect performance.
Below are my top five themes of talent, ranked in the order revealed by my responses to the Clifton StrengthsFinder.
How well do you think these themes describe me?
Learner
People who are especially talented in the Learner theme have a great desire to learn and want to continuously improve. In particular, the process of learning, rather than the outcome, excites them.
Achiever
People who are especially talented in the Achiever theme have a great deal of stamina and work hard. They take great satisfaction from being busy and productive.
Responsibility
People who are especially talented in the Responsibility theme take psychological ownership of what they say they will do. They are committed to stable values such as honesty and loyalty.
Connectedness
People who are especially talented in the Connectedness theme have faith in the links between all things. They believe there are few coincidences and that almost every event has a reason.
Input
People who are especially talented in the Input theme have a craving to know more. Often they like to collect and archive all kinds of information.
