Hello fellow online groupies!  I am excited to start this year with you! For this week, I want to get your creative juices flowing to get your hands, hearts and minds ready for our amazing  first week speaker, Bre'Ann!  She is on fire about the freelance work she is doing and is passionate about creating. First, I want you to watch this talk about creativity and pay attention to (1) what she describes as the things that get in the way of creativity (2) things that creativity can do for you (3) ways you can be creative Then I want you to take your answers to those three questions above and pick one answer that is particularly meaningful or applicable to you.  Put it in your Vanguard Sun in a proactive way! For instance, maybe "courage to express myself" is something I need to work on, something that gets in the way of my creativity. I could put that in the Leadership section or the Imaginative Arts section as something I need to work on.  Get the i...

One of the most defining things you will do this year is to read the following short article: Core and Crust of Leadership Article by Timothy Clark Here is the link to the Vanguard Sun, which includes the Core and Crust idea combined with the four lenses we use to look at the world and organize all the things we want to learn and become: https://drive.google.com/file/d/0BzFTE1OI37bbRWFxVUNYR1RYQWViRmUtemRjZ29wZXlnQ1dF/view?usp=sharing Awesome blank templates generated at the speed of light by our very own Marni Hall!!

We always start off our devotionals with a Studio C or two.  Here are a couple about "heroes" (feel free to get the laughter going with your own choice...): or this one: My turn!  Give me a minute of your time and make sure your notebooks are ready! Ready?  Now 24 more seconds... Now time for a little more discussion: Here are the scriptures (I say "videos" but meant scriptures...it was early :S) John 13:3 2 Nephi 28:30 2 Nephi 29:12 2 Nephi 30:10 2 Nephi 31:20 Did you see the hero's journey in those?  Elements?  Insights?  Now for the next one! I hope that this whets your appetite for the year and discovering the hero within you!   Give yourself a few moments to reflect while watching this final video and then take 5-10 minutes in a quiet place to record your reflections from this exercise.  Consider this question if it helps: what do I need to do to become the hero I want to ...
