Here's a big shout out to Holly Brown, and her phenomenal presentation on January 13th on how to be a proactive leader. I have found myself pausing and choosing to NOT react to certain situations, and by giving myself that space, I have been feeling more proactive than reactive.
The other thing I really loved was the list of life goals she had us make. Tack those up in your rooms and don't stop succeeding until you reach them all!

Legislature Fun
Yesterday we had a great time at Legislature Day. It was an early morning, starting at 6:00. We checked in and then attended the Law Enforcement House Committee. Three bills were discussed and two were sent on to the House of Reps to vote on them. If the House of Reps approves them- where do the bills go from there? First one to post the answer wins (no prize - just the satisfaction that you knew the answer)!
We heard three speakers, Brett Latimer, Kyle Maynard and Dr. Joseph Ellis. 5 points to the first three people who can post to the rest of us what each of the speeches focused on - a bit of the details please.
Our Legislator, Greg Hughes, was a most gracious host and gave us a fun tour of the capitol and then sat with us for a while answering questions. I enjoyed the presentation and hope you did too!
Thanks to everyone who came! It was a great day!

We have rescheduled the tour of Primary Children's Hospital for tomorrow. In an effort to get everyone back for their other Tuesday night commitments at 7:00, we have bumped up the meeting.
