Circle of Trust
We all Circled up and, those who could, Took a knee for Circle of Trust:
BR’s focused on Transparency from the heart this morning. Again, with his knee surgery back in June, it had been 15+ Weeks since BR had Q’d. Sidelined, recovering properly and then returning to the F3 morning gloom by walking — BR admitted that it had been hard. BR recently completed and audio seminar and a book by Dr. Brene Brown – titled “Daring Greatly”. Dr. Brown is a Licensed Clinical Social Worker and Professor, like BR’s M, Dr. Marissa Happ. Brene’s focus was on transparency and shame.
BR came to the slow realization that part of his role, at Age 69, in F3 Naperville is to show the F3 PAX of Naperville how to age gracefully and still stay with it. It’s OK to be who we are; where we are at and continue to push ahead — Staying Strong, Staying Positive and Never Giving up!
In prayer — great thanks for today, 10/8, is BR’s and Marissa’s 50th anniversary of the DAY THEY MET at college. We also called out the names of the 7-9 F3 Naperville PAX & their families who were running this weekend’s Chicago Marathon and today’s Abbot pre-5K. We thanked our Father his many blessings, good health, breakfast and coffee, our warm homes and His ever-abiding Love. AMEN!

We never know the impact we have on others. Living life, one day at a time, and living virtuously sets the bar for others to thrive.
As F3 Leaders — we pave the next 43 feet for others.
It’s our privilege to Live Right, Lead Right and Leave it Right!
