Featured Leader : Richard Grunewald My Motorcycle - from Idea into Action By Richard Grunewald In March, 2006 I was coaching, setting goals in a personal growth seminar. I was making choices of change in my future undertaking in both business and recreation. For many years I had wanted to ride motorcycles, however getting a license and the risk of injuries, etc., were the obstacles I didn’t want to face. As I was helping others make decisions I realized I should take my own advice and go after what I wanted. I decided to set a goal to get my motorcycle license and then get a bike by my 63rd birthday, which was to be August 1, 2006. After a few days of procrastinating I signed up for motorcycle school which was a 2-day class, April 22nd & 23rd, 7 am – 5 pm. I had made a commitment to finally do it! It doesn’t sound like a big deal, oh, but it was. Saying I wanted it and going after it and getting what I wanted were two different avenues. April 23, 2006 didn’t come fast enough; I passed and received my license. The very next day I started looking for my motorcycle. This was a three and half month journey that ended August 1, 2006 when I sat on a 2005 Yamaha VStar 1100 Classic . . . why did it take so long to find what I wanted you may ask? Overcoming objections within myself, money, Harley, Yamaha, Honda??? Deserving of, what if I get hurt or my wife gets hurt? My wife really wasn’t happy about me getting the bike and even less enthusiastic about sitting on the back of this death machine! I can’t explain why I had to have it, I just did! Today, my wife "Joey" and I share a joy and bond together on our bike, yes I said “Our Bike”, yes this happened for a reason!!! We named the motorcycle “Wings”, wings of an eagle!!!

Balance Tools for Courageous Leadership
Follow Your Bliss, and Balance will follow you.
Everyone wants balance, famous and private individuals alike. It is the one pinnacle in llife that cannot be attained through fame or fortune. Yet, it is the one quality of life that will bring all that human beings seek from success - happiness, fulfillment, peace, joy, and harmony. The answer is simple. Follow your bliss. Observe your desires in each of your other lifestyle areas. As you empower yourself in spirit, mind, and body, and contribute yourself in family, work, and society, you can follow your bliss. Balance will follow. Allow the time for you to experience the reward of the moment within the time that you invest into each of these areas of your day. Let the moments flow smoothly into the next without attachment to the past or preoccupation with the future. Enjoy the moments and pace your investment of time so that you are able to experience all six of these lifestyle areas. Notice how you feel as you are drawn to that which your heart desires. Once you begin a pattern of seeking your bliss in these areas, you will be in better shape to invest your time and energy in those tasks or goals that are not as blissful in these areas. Approach these events more gently and sprinkle them with the experiences that you enjoy in those lifestyle areas, and balance will soon follow your day. Begin a journal or goals book that includes weekly goals in each of these lifestyle areas, so you will begin fulfilling your heart's desire for balance. Try it, you just may like it. Until our next visit, go out and make your dreams come true!

Gardening Balance Nurturing Your Seedlings for a Hearty Garden
Steve's Tip™: Be careful with your little seedlings, they’re very delicate. Check daily to prevent death from dry-out. It’s that time of the year again. The seeds are sprouting under the indoor lamps. Timing and balance are everything. With indoor seed-starting, it all has to do with the timing of when those plants graduate to the outdoors. There are certain annuals that will tolerate light spring frosts, so it is important to balance your stages of seed-starting according to the temperament of each type of seed that you decide to start, and hopefully germinate. (I’ll share more about that later when we talk about the seeds that I have started to germinate.)
In this article, I’d like to share with you a look at what I have going in my indoor seedling nursery. In so doing, you can glean from my enthusiasm and experiences in making your nursery a successful and rewarding experience. I have selected a variety of seeds to add to my produce, floral, and herb gardens this year.
Although pepper and tomato plants go out at the same time—after the threat of frost has passed—as mentioned, I always start my peppers approximately a week and a half earlier. I have found that pepper seeds always take longer to germinate, but that tomatoes are lickety-split.
I like to try different flowers. These seeds I actually received from different fellow gardeners that shared their seeds with me. That is pretty rewarding – self-collected and propagated seed-sharing. Seed-sharing can also become a delightful conversation piece. As well, it can become the beginnings of a nostalgic garden that reminds you of these memories of friendship and sharing occasions.
I thought about starting some more oregano, but I have four established annual plants growing nicely in my garden now. Parsley is a pretty tough (can’t really use it well the second year even though it is technically a bi-annual. First year, it makes the plant. Second year, it makes the flower. I have had some luck with making my own seed-starting soil, but to be safe, it’s best to buy a. . . .If you are a member, sign in to www.ccqh-leadershipclub.com and go to the Newsletter to read entire Club Newsletter.
