To each there comes in their lifetime a special moment
when they are figuratively tapped on the shoulder
and offered the chance to do a very special thing,
unique to them and fitted to their talents.
What a tragedy if that moment finds them
unprepared or unqualified for that
which could have been their finest hour.

Many of us are enjoying the holiday weekend and PREPARING for the fall semester. Whether your life revolves around an academic calendar or not, I hope you can take a few moments this week to think about a "very special thing" you might be called to do in 2009 and what you could do in the next few months to PREPARE for it. Baby steps, my friend, just take a few baby steps this week and see what happens....
Oh, and there is still time to help out with last week's challenge! Just send a check made out to CENTRAL ASIA INSTITUE and mail it to Ripples for CAI, 1360 Regent St #342, Madison WI 53715. The Ripples Project Foundation will MATCH all checks received by the end of this week and forward them to Greg!
Peace,
Paul

READ:
Ten Fun Things to Do Before You Die
by Sr, Karol Jackowski (Hyperion: NY)
Originally a lecture by the Dean of Students at St. Mary’s College, this delightful and quick read has suggestions ranging from “Make Yourself Interesting,” to “Find a Place to Escape Reality” and while the list is fun, the stories are powerful. I scribbled on my copy, “This may be the most sacred book I have ever read.”
