Creating Family Stories to Share

By Joey Grunewald

I feel that by telling family stories or creating poems about family members or friends, it can help to express feelings of belonging and bonding, “the connection of each soul”.

For children, it gives them information to use as a tool in their life by learning about their roots and heritage from past generations. This tool can connect them even deeper with their parents, grandparents, other family members and friends, thus, creating solid bonds.

The communication between each other is so much clearer if children know their backgrounds, and the reason for some things that come about in their lives. For an example, I have written a children’s book Jo-Jo’s Livin Like A Kid, a book of poems which expresses my feelings of unconditional love for all living creatures. I also convey how anybody can do anything they want in their lifetime with a positive attitude, and having fun with just the simple things in life. I’ve always had a strong desire to leave my granddaughters a legacy, so by writing this book and dedicating it to my family, it gives them an understanding of what “grandma was all about”, and a sense of that strong connection.

Not only did I write this legacy, my granddaughters actually were a big part of the book by creating most of the illustrations, which made them feel strongly connected to something tangible to carry down from generation to generation.

Sit down with children, connect on a one on one level with them, let them ask questions and be honest with your answers. You will be amazed at what they contribute. This can be said in any life situations. People want to feel connected to other souls, whether they are related or not.

I really express my feelings best through my poetry, and I will always follow my articles with a poem. . . . If you are a member, click here to sign in to www.ccqh-leadershipclub.com, Newsletters, and read entire Club Newsletter.

Insights To Success

The Fourth P of Success: Plan

Tools for Courageous Leadership

Third Tool: Intimacy

Intimacy sets the tone for the success of communication and a trusting relationship.

To the degree that intimacy is present, so, too, will success be equally measured.

Intimacy is typically expected in a marriage or family, however, it is also a decisive tool in creating any plan for life that includes an agreement with another party. Intimacy is linked with feelings of closeness, safety, trust, and transparency among partners within any collaborative relationship. One of the key prerequisites is the ability to know oneself. Knowing oneself allows candor, as well as the ability to stand up for oneself. Having the courage to be clear in your self-disclosure and identity communication is paramount in one's maturity as a leader. Another key prerequisite is the ability to empathize or "walk in another's shoes." One's ability to really be available is readily observed by others when you engage in an intimate conversation. As it is said, "nobody really cares how much you know, until they know how much you care." Regardless of the plan that you are creating for your lifestyle of leadership, you will benefit greatly if you can harness the tool of intimacy as a natural extension of your forms of self-expression.

Of course, there is an art to this form of self-expression, just as there is in almost anything of human value. You do no one, including yourself, any service in being willing to chatter on and on to anyone and everyone about every little opinion, feeling, and detail that you experience. That is not intimacy, moreso, it is nervous energy being released through rambling communication by someone who displays a sense of insecurity about their self. A more developed person who displays the ability to appreciate and speak with intimacy exudes a sense of self-confidence and ease. Their intonation is well-paced and able to intertwine earnestness and seriousness with light-heartedness and self-deprecation. Being self-confident implies that one has already recognized their humanness as a fallible person who desires to grow and enjoy the journey. Through intimacy, one can reveal their strengths and weaknessess in a graceful manner, seeking resources to complement their desired goals and plans. We can explore this further with a few more specific examples in a variety of relationship settings. . . .

I sincerely wish you a beautiful journey with intimacy as you advance your legacy in leadership, and until we meet again, go out and make your dreams come true!

All My Best,

Cheri Lutton

Cooking with a Plan

The Great Green Chile Harvest

Steve's Tip™: If you are a member, sign in to www.ccqh-leadershipclub.com and go to the Newsletters to read entire article in the Club Newsletter.

My plan for a beautiful harvest of peppers has come to fruition. Nature and the garden were good to me this season, offering a bounty of flavorful and well-sized chile peppers ready for tasty recipe production.

I will be sharing with you in this article—and future articles—ways to make great uses for one of my favorite peppers - the Anaheim Green Chile. Those of us from the Southwest are familiar with the street corner stands selling roast chilies. Many of them, claiming to be selling hatched chilies—after the New Mexico town of Hatch. Regardless of the origin, they are all referring to them as the roasted green chile. Vendors tumble and fire roast the chilies while you watch. It would be nice to have one of these such roasters, but I have done just fine with my backyard gas grill. The beauty of roasting your garden chilies is the guarantee that they are fresh. Each year in my garden, I plan on growing twelve green chile plants. In a good year, this will give me well over one bushel of succulent pods. there's nothing like roasting your own green chilies. That's just another reminiscent aroma of Fall's harvest season. So, let's get down to roasting some chilies!

Bon Appetit,
