We just concluded our Association weekend and it was totally uplifting and inspiring. We enjoyed great camaraderie and received inspiring and thought-moving wisdom from our teacher Pam. In addition to a wonderful syllabus, I have several pages of notes containing nuggets of inspiration.
Pam has a story about “sticky notes”. I have decided to take some of the nuggets of inspiration and – maybe once a week – write one of them on a sticky note and place it where I can see it frequently. Here is one that appeals to me a great deal:
“We are thought leaders – not thought followers!” As Christian Science practitioners, we think for ourselves and do not automatically follow the thinking of the world.
It is easy for me to see why this appeals to me. My kindergarten report card contained the following comment from my teacher: “She is a good leader, but doesn’t like to follow.” I like to think that I have learned to follow over these last many decades, but still, I love the idea of being a “thought leader”!

In our assignment before class, we were encouraged to read “The Greatest Thing in the World” by Henry Drummond. Although I had read this years ago, I found it especially beautiful at this time and am happy to welcome it back into my reading repertoire. (Hint: it is all about love.)
Here is a link to it so you can add it to your reading list: http://henrydrummond.wwwhubs.com/greatest.htm#index
With love and gratitude,

Hi Jennifer. I love that you are not only working to remove old “sticky notes” with false labels, but have thought of posting new ones with “nuggets of inspiration(/truth)”. What a clever idea! Thanks for sharing it.
