Strategic Self-Analysis 

 Plato is credited with the quote "The unanalyzed life is not worth living" and with January 1 just around the corner it's the perfect time to look at where we've been and in so doing plan for an even greater 2008.  Here's a few questions to get you started.

  1. What accomplishments are you most proud of and why? Make a mental list of your accomplishments in 2007 and pick the one or two that you're most proud of - it may be one that nobody else even noticed.

Progress, Proficiency and Prognostication

Practice Makes Perfect...   NOPE! 

Many of you know that I belong to a semi-professional chorus in Frederick, MD (I call it semi-pro because we charge for gigs but the money goes to charity).  We are an auditioned chorus to ensure that we maintain a consistent quality level and I'm one of the section leaders so - I get to judge the new guys wanting to get in.

L to R, Laura Miller, Ann Wagner, Norma BighamWe were pleased to have Ann Wagner, a certified gemologist from Ludwig Jewelers as a guest speaker at our regular Noon Lions meeting.

Ann provided invaluable information on the many different qualities of stones and the different aspects that affect the value of gemstones.
