Anything else you'd like to share about yourself?

I love this website. Some day I hope to get a photo up. As soon as I find a picture of me that looks like Sean Connery.

I met you at the Judith Snow event a while back.
I was wondering, who should I contact regarding viewing the pictures that were taken that day? I'd like to see them if possible.

Thanks!
Christina

I thought about you when we picked out the seating arrangements, the small group seating and chairs and break out spaces. I am currently in Scottsdale with my parents and family and we are around the bedside expecting my mom to die in the very near future. After that happens and the funeral I will be back to Cincinnati. I can't plan any of this but I would expect to be back in Cincinnati in about a week or so. I will contact you when I return and see what time you might have to come and check out 1801 Mills. Blessings on your life and work.

Check is out www.1801mills.org We have designed the place as a prototype for small group gatherings... where ideas (books/films/media) and conversations (small group and speakers and forums) come together around hospitality. My friend Bertin says he sees you and Collette at various events. Call me and come over to check out our place. We are just across from Speckled Bird Cafe. 513.604.1542 cell

At 10:09am on September 18, 2008, Elaine Hansen said…: Peter - when Meg Wheatley was here. She asked a very powerful question

It was something like,

How would it change your world if you knew/discovered one of your core beliefs/values was not true?

Have I repeated her question correctly? If not, can you help me with it?
