Hey, it's Kelly, and at the end of every week, I like to share something true and useful,

something I stumbled over that gave me a burst of optimism, something you can share with

friends like an audio greeting card, something to help us all keep our eyes on what's working

and what could be.

So, I'll be right back with this week's For The Good of the Order.

This is Kelly Corgan Wonders.

Hi guys, so for this week's For The Good of the Order, I was thinking back to this

super high-impact book that I read when I was, I guess, about 23 years old.

It's The Seven Habits of Highly Effective People by Stephen Covey, and I think, you know,

10 million people probably read it, so I'm not alone here.

But I was young when I read it, so every idea was new and I had a yellow highlighter and

I was deep into the idea of being intentional, and I mean, I guess I still am.

So when I think about the idea of intentionality, I think it sort of trickles down into every

area of your life, and one area, for me, that was pretty prominent there for a while before

I became an empty nester, was high school sports, and what is the point of high school sports?

Because it's certainly not the sport, in my opinion.

So I had written a thing at the end of last year's season, which was a really poignant season

because of the pandemic, and that I thought I might share with you in the spirit of beginning

with the end in mind, which is one of those Seven Habits of Highly Effective People that

I was so attracted to in my 20s.

So last spring, I was the JV lacrosse team's head coach.

We were sure it staffed.
