People ask us to "get into the right spirit" of things. What they really want is for us to give them our whole support, not just our superficial nods but the commitment of the deeper parts of us too.

When it comes to being an ANE leader, "the right spirit" means bringing our essential core, our inner spiritual life, to bear on situations. That's why we have been learning together to get better outcomes by tapping into our spirituality during tough situations.

As 2011 begins, let's accept that our ANE journey should be far more than finding help during tough times. Our spirit is also an incredibly powerful creative force, so let's tap into all that creativity too! (The business word for it is growth.)

May 2011 be a year where you create wonderful growth for you, your family, your organization, and all those who depend on your organization.

2011, a year of GROWTH.
