What I Learned Today-A Short (and I hope inspiring) Poem
What I Learned Today: Reflections on a very challenging day…

“Love is the affinity which links and draws together the elements of the world… Love, in fact, is the agent of universal synthesis.”
Pierre Teilhard de Chardin
Today, I learned that love is the foundation for all. Love directed at service, love directed at letting go of our need for validation and transforming it into contribution, love in letting go of judgment, love in embracing and accepting one’s strengths and also deficits, love in embracing the gift of life. Love in the opportunity to become a consistent learner and leader who shares and contributes with head, heart and soul in alignment. Today, I learned that love is the foundation for all.
Yours in service, Irene

Lovely! I am discovering this more and more everyday too! Love is more than we know!
Hi Joan: Thank you so much for your wonderful feedback:) Love is all!
Best, Irene
It would be impossible for me not to love a post that serves up a line from de Chardin.
Thanks for connecting with me on Twitter, Irene. And for pointing me to your blog.
I love your emphasis on service. On doing.
As an exercise, I read through your post a second time (starting after the quote). Each time I came to the word “in,” I replaced it with the word “is.”
And the post still works!
Strong stuff.
Thanks again.
Hi Peter: Thank you so much for your very kind email and comments. Life and for that matter leadership is all about service first.
Very best! Irene
