Circle of Trust

Did you just show up or did you set an intention and SHOW UP. Two big differences. It’s easy to be present for roll call but it’s more impressive to show up. Showing up for our family, colleagues or anything else that is dependent on us requires us to show up. Set your intention and show up.

Prayers for Hotbox’s family, Boy Sandwich’s family; Brady Bunch’s family; and Quidditch.

Silence for 30 seconds.

Our Lady of Victory, Pray for Us!

The group did a really great job this morning. I appreciate them staying in the zone and completing the work. For me, it was tiring and I didn’t expect the workout to have such a physical impact on me as it did. Cadence was off on one occasion and I’ll fix that.

My hope is each PAX got something out of it. If they were looking for fatigue, I hope this met them there.

A lot of mumblechatter despite the constant movement. I’m grateful that I was able to lead every one of them and I hope to see them soon.
