Change of scenery

We all know how valuable a change of location and routine can be.  During this time of the year it seems even more important to me.  I am preparing to go on my annual trip to the National Pastor's Conference in San Diego.  Now besides the great time that I normally have in San Diego and the awesome speakers that I get to hear, because of the winter we have had, the wonderful weather is even more inviting.  I have a friend that is preparing to head to Florida for some fun and family time. 

It doesn't really matter what you plan but when you are in the midst of transformative work, it is important to get a change of scenery on a regular basis.  It helps to rejuvenate you, increase your enthusiasm, and open your creative juices.

I will let you know what it does for me when I return from San Diego.

Stay warm and enjoy the change.

Dear Jim,

I think it might be time in a week or so for a staff vacation...er... retreat/conference to someplace near West Lake Okoboji.

Just a suggestion :),

Jim, A change of scenery really helps get my mental connections flowing in a more positive light! Speaking of connections - are you available to help with the Presbytery's Lunch & Learn session on transformation? It will be held Sept. 18 in the office. Let me know your thoughts! -Kim
