Our stories are important because not only do they shape us, but our stories also prepare us. Connecting the dots within our stories is something we don’t often do. In preparation for the first week, we will write our stories. During the first week, we will ask ourselves questions that will help us connect the dots as we get closer to our “why”.

Some of us are aware of our gifts and talents and others don’t acknowledge our abilities as such, and there are those who don’t believe they are gifted and talented but I have good news. We all have a gift to share with the world. This week will explore these gifts and talents.

The awareness that our actions and inactions are a contribution to the world makes us move differently. This week we will discuss how you do in fact contribute to the world. We will then challenge each other to move more intentionally to make greater impact in all that we do.

This week, we will take everything we’ve been exploring and we will create a personal vision and mission statement that we can use as a guideline to remain focused in our purpose.
