Featured Leader : Cheri Lutton Balancing Your Lifestyle of Leadership By Cheri Lutton Have you ever wondered why so many people who have achieved success in their careers are not fulfilled in their family life? Ever known someone who has lots of potential and zero self-actualization? Have you noticed that famous individuals have the same desires for balance, love, value, and fulfillment as private individuals? Celebrating these centered qualities of humanity is a universal desire. Balancing each of your lifestyle areas of leadership holds the secret to discovering these wonderful qualities of well-being. Leadership of self is the first position to leadership of others. As a leader, you must lead by example with your own life. Leading a lifestyle of balance in spirit, mind, body, family, work, and society will ultimately advance your legacy in leadership, shaping a fulfilling path of uniqueness in your desired passion, purpose, power, plan, productivity, profitability, and philanthropy. Achieving balance in your lifestyle areas of leadership is an ongoing process of daily choices. The benefits are immeasurable; however, the choices require self-control and discipline, among many other centered qualities of humanity, such as courage, patience, and creativity. When you engage in leadership development in spirit, mind, and body, do you notice a sense of self-empowerment? It is a natural birthright to grow and expand your awareness. As this occurs through these three lifestyle areas, we increase our. . .

Martin Luther King. Congratulations to Joey Grunewald as our Guess Who Winner! Insights To Success: Tools for Courageous Leadership Balance is a smile and a good yawn at the end of each day, knowing you gave your best to spirit, mind, body, family, work, and society. How do we find the time to nurture each of these areas? Not one person on this planet has ever been able to produce more than twenty-four hours in their day. No, not fame, fortune, power, or force can muster up even one more millisecond for anyone of us. So what is the answer? How do some seem to manage to create that sense of peace that stems from balance? In a nutshell, I would call it Love. Mother Teresa always talked about loving until it hurts. Loving is giving and receiving in a graceful ebb and flow with an attitude of gratitude for the gift of your daily life. Through love, the six P's - passion, purpose, power, plan, productivity, and profitability - can flow naturally and sequentially to nourish you through your day's experiences. The peace that stems from balance is a quality akin to joy that brings that smile and the good yawn at the end of each day. As you begin to feel this quality in your day, you will want more. This becomes your guidepost for the next day. As you slowly allow love to work through your being, and seek out balance, you will be drawn to. . .

Steve's Creations: A Mid-Summer's Pause for Reflection Steve's Tip™: Take the time to savor your good works I'd love to start by telling you all about a wonderful evening that Cheri and I spent with Club members Joey & Richard Grunewald, and Richard Keuhn on July 14th. After publishing the recipe for Shis-Kabobs in the last Newsletter, Cheri and I decided to feature that recipe for our dinner guests. Richard Grunewald, an avid big game hunter, agreed to regale us with a hunting story and some of his game stock. I prepared beef for the shish-kabobs, and Richard brought marinated Elk and Buffalo to the party. In the spirit of the recipe description, we all gathered around in the kitchen, cutting up the ingredients and building delicious shis-kabobs. The other half of our meal was a wokful of shrimp scampi made wth freshly harvested garlic, pulled from the Lutton garden just two days before the meal. As you can imagine, the kitchen was filled with fine atmosphere and aroma. Gazing at the garden during dinner, this would be a great time to share some valuable insights on the progress of my garden. I think the sweet corn crop is the best looking one that I've ever grown. I planted the corn in late April, which is early for this area. It turned to be a great decision. Forget the old rule-of- thumb, "knee high by the Fourth of July." This stuff was chest-high! It tasseled-out a week later, and is now forming ears. Time to get the corn cage built!. I'm sure the racoons in the neighborhood know just what developmental stage that it's it about now. It seems like not one year can go by without a new pest problem showing up. I've never had any problem with rabbits before, but this year they've taken a fancy to the new bean sprouts as they come up. As you may recall from a previous article, I already have wire underground to protect the beans from the gophers. Now it seems that I need to string a perimeter fence to protect the seedlings from Mr. bunny rabbit. Ironically, I believe it is the same young rabbit that I enjoyed watching as he was nibbling our grass in the side yard back in April. Aaah, the joys of competing with one's own vegetables. Until next time, Happy Cooking and Enjoy your Celebrations! Steve Lutton Steve's Creations - from Soil to Skillet ____________ Post your questions &/or feedback for this article here.
