August 8, 2008This Week in the World ~ People House

Filed under: This Week in the World by merylrunion |

I met People House Director Katie Brown for lunch last week. Here are just a few of the things I like about her.

1. She knows the pleasure of service.
2. She listens to and loves knowledge: including (but not limited to) my knowledge, my husband’s knowledge and Jeffrey’s knowledge.
3. She kept thinking my husband and I were newlyweds because the way my husband speaks about me sounds “far too in love for a couple who has been married twelve years.” Thanks to my husband Bob, Katie and ancient relationship wisdom for that “warm and fuzzy.”
4. Her communication is so filled with inspiring words of wisdom I literally take notes.
5. She is decisive. When I suggested presenting at The People House in under a week, she set it up immediately and sent out notices the next day – as soon as she got them from me.

People House does some really great work. I was particularly interested in their Veteran Reintegration Workshop and their Day with Joan Borysenko, the pioneer in mind body medicine and advocate for blending science and spirituality for an awakened world. Check it out on the web and in person if you live in the area. It’s so wonderful to connect with people who are dedicated to growth, service and the good of all.
