A term from story writing sticks with me: through line. It's the theme of the story. It's the thread that weaves all the way from beginning to end and holds the story together. You have a through line. Listen to learn how to identify your through line and begin to live aware of how you can support and develop your through line.

What is Your Through Line? Episode 78

William Shakespeare penned "All the World's a stage" and many of us live as actors in our own story, playing a role rather than being engaged in our lives. Living a role is likened to the False Self which the Enneagram helps us both identify and find our way to our True Self.

Episode 68 Taking Inventory: What Isn‘t Working Well?

As the year 2021 winds up before it winds down, Lisa put together a final series titled: Taking Inventory. Today's episode is the first in the series and is sub-titled What is Working? The invitation is to begin a list of what is working right now in three areas: work, life and faith.   We have a natural negativity bias and are able to point out what isn't working in each of these areas; the challenge is to set aside your growing list of what needs attention or improvement to acknowledge and write down the things that are going well in your work, in your life (personal, relational) and in your faith. This is also the beginning of the season of Advent in the Christian Church calendar year. Advent means preparation for coming and is generally referred to as the season prior to the birth of the Christ child.
