Nothing reveals the strengths and weaknesses of a marriage like cleaning the garage. A recent collaboration on this task illuminated some cobwebs in both.
After all that spring cleaning, treat yourself to a nice dish. Try this recipe, you’ll love the edge that cilantro and lime gives this chicken dish!

Tools for Building a Great Marriage
Sharon and her husband built the garage and decided to live there until the house was constructed. Five years later they were still in the garage. The house plans still took a prominent place on the wall… but life was busy. They hadn’t planned to let construction slip…it had just happened as the busyness of day to day took front and center stage. They were fairly comfortable for the moment…but building had stopped.

By Stephanie A. Parson, Ph.D.
Every leader, in their lifetime, will have the opportunity to experience difficult times. Periods when the perfect plan fails, the key people you counted on let you down, times when you become the blame for everything that goes wrong or when the passion you had for your position simply becomes a chore. It is during this period that you must motivate, encourage and influence others to a higher level and at the same time keep yourself motivated. It is one of the hardest times a leader can go through. In fact, many get stuck in this valley and can’t find their way out (oppression and/or depression occurs). Your goal is to recognize that these times will occur and determine (in advance) your plan to get through these tough times.

Take Care of You

De-Cluttering our lives can be an extremely liberating exercise. There are many types of clutter than can hinder us having the quality of life we want and deserve. There is clutter that is in our minds as negative self-talk. There is the clutter that physically exists in our homes, cars, offices, such as old newspapers waiting to be recycled, stacks of magazines you will never read, old clothes that are destined for the good will because they no longer suit our style or size, etc.
