The people who love us – our parents, our teachers, our siblings, our friends, sometimes even our competitors – are frequently the strongest resource that we have for exploring how we can best spend our time.

When I think of the path taken, the one that called me to the big desk in a nice church office in the oldest neighborhood of Spokane, I am struck by how many decisions came in the form of “I have to do this now, I have no other choice.”

This fall my baby girl went to first grade. It was a big change for her, but probably an even bigger one for me, because for the first time in 10 years (my oldest is 10 years old), I did not have a child at home to care for during the majority of the day.
