For me, the allure of being a detective isn't solving the case, but following the clues to solve the problem. A scientist, an entrepreneur, an author, a parent: We all have to open our blinders to see the unseen, to pay attention to the details and be willing to go where we've never gone before. I love the third definition, because it says we will be aware of the greatness in others. If you're Oprah, that could mean seeing the potential in her students in Africa. For parents, it's paying attention to the interests of our children and guiding them and giving them opportunities to grow and channel their greatness. It's also giving us permission to do the same in ourselves!
Ever since we moved in to our new house, I've been fascinated with the birds. My curiousity about what I was seeing and hearing led me to pitch the idea for an article to our metro weekly, which meant I got to interview the president of the local audubon group and he referred me to several great books. My goal is to track the birds we see and make it a family activity. FOLLOW YOUR CURIOUSITIES.

Verbalize: I will discover the beauty in all things, in myself and in others by being aware, experimenting and experiencing.
