Inspired by the Heart of Leadership Class at Madrona School...

....I thought, wouldn't it be neat to start a blog to share our new successes, stands, miracles, inspiring quotes, poetry, buddy news and so on.....and then today, I met with Kerry in our first buddy meeting. She told me how much she and Mike had enjoyed the movie "Sahara," which I had recommended to them. So then I asked if she had seen "Defending Your Life," which Alyse mentioned on the last day of the class, and she hadn't, so that became my new recommendation. Then she said I should start a website or something, and I said, "We-elll...."

Being as I was toying with the idea of this blog anyway, I thought it wouldn't hurt to add movie recommendations into the mix, either. So I recommend "Defending Your Life," with Albert Brooks and Meryl Streep, as a whimsical look at the afterlife and what it might be like to review your life once it's over. I don't want to say much more about it, except that I haven't ever talked about it with anyone who didn't like it, and it certainly has some overtones of cosmic truth to me. Plus, it's light and entertaining.

Thanks to Kerry for giving me the push to do this! All our classmates and teachers are welcome to post here, just let me know and I will send you an invitation. Any other members of the Madrona School community are welcome as well, in the spirit of inclusion, fun, and self-development for all!
