Running, Royals, SantaCaliGon Days And BBQ

It’s been a busy couple of weeks.  We volunteered at a festival called SantaCaliGon Days.  It celebrates the City of Independence as the starting point of the Santa Fe, California, and Oregon Trails. I was in a booth teaching people about family history.  I also performed an epic magic trick where someone chooses a number and I would guess it....with 100% accuracy.  I also ran a 5K.  We were able to go to a Kansas City Royal’s game where I got to see the great Elder Darton.  It was legit to see a familiar face from home.  

 

I’ve been studying a lot about empathy.  One thing I want to implement in my life is seeking to understand before being understood. To have empathy for others, we need to get to know them.  I want to work on asking better questions to get to know people and then learn how to be quiet and listen.  I want to be more humble and patient.  Make an effort this week to come up with inspired more powerful questions and then listen.

 

Have a great week!
