On November 8, I offered the last of 2008's all-day "Boundaries Basics," seminars at New Life Christian Fellowship. We had another small group - 4 ladies this time - and it was a wonderful time full of revelation and affirmation for us all. I am encouraged by another round of overwhelmingly positive exit surveys and by the brightness in the eyes of the students as they complete the day's learning eager to bring their new skills to their lives.

Cancellation, Ceremony, and Celebration!
We had only 2 registrants for October, so I have asked them to join us for the November 8 session. We have 2 others registered for that and I expect more, so we should have a nice group again.

We started a little late, but that was budgeted for. It was the first time trying out the timing of the sessions and I am pleased to report that we reached our lunch break at an ideal time and ended an hour ahead of schedule. That leaves room for more discussion in future sessions, so I'm not planning to tweak this at all. The day is long and I am considering sitting for more of the … [Read more...]
