Gant, I appreciate your post about how effective requests have decreased miscommunications at home.  I have had the same experience.

JP, also being on on sabbatical/exploration, your post about applying Positive No to personal activities was useful and thought provoking.  I am noticing that when I experience a particular somatic feeling of angst it is the first indicator of a subconscious conflict between or among my values.  The Positive No is proving an effective tool for surfacing and resolving that conflict.

Brooke, I look forward to hearing about your Rwanda experience.  I worked on a project in Rwanda about 10 years ago.
