| The Winston-Salem Fellows and Greensboro Fellows |
In the Fellows, we talk about living seamless lives - that we were created to be whole persons, not a bundle of disjointed parts living fragmented lives. This week we practiced that at church, at work, at home, with our friends, in public, and when no one else was looking.
It is the antidote to being all things to all people. It is seeking one purpose as you work toward being your true self at all times wherever you are.
CHURCH
Our Fellows were introduced to congregations across Winston-Salem.
 |
| Here Peter Barnes is interviewing Andrew Miller, Kelly Martin and Garret Briggs at First Pres. |
 |
| Here Mathu is reading Scripture at River Oaks Community Church |
We want to give a special thanks to this year's church partners:
 |
| Redeemer Presbyterian Church |
| River Oaks Community Church |
ROUND TABLE
This was a special Round Table because it was hosted by one of the parents of one of our Fellows: Garrett Briggs.
Thank you Paul and Jennifer for beings such amazing hosts. Thanks Chuck and Shawn Hicks for crashing the party!

| A beautiful night to eat and worship outside |
After a questionable forecast, it was a fantastically beautiful night to eat outside and worship together by the fire. Other than the fact that I couldn't read my notes - it was perfect!
Several Fellows were going strong after I left. You could hear the laughter from the sidewalk. It's amazing that we have only been together a few weeks.
PROFESSIONAL DEVELOPMENT
We braved the forecast and forged ahead with three days of Professional Development with the Greensboro Fellows and our friends at the Center for Creative Leadership. Thank you Diane, Jayke, Jeffrey and Susan!
Day 1 - I gave a half day seminar on Emotional Intelligence (I know - ironic). We all learned a bunch.

Day 2 - We went over our results for Myers Briggs and Strengths Finders and learned about Fixed and Growth Mindset.

Day 3 - We learned about communication and practiced SBI. From there we shifted to thinking, applying and working toward making vision statements for ourselves.
 |
| Self Work |
 |
| Group Work |
 |
| Thanks Greensboro Fellows! |
We partner with the Greensboro Fellows for these three days. Dodd and Becky are awesome! Thank you for hosting us Thursday and Friday!
My favorite photo series from the week...thanks to Aly and Chanice
The Vision Statements are always powerful. This year was no exception.
So glad we took the risk and didn't cancel because of questions about weather!
A little fun on the van ride...
FLORENCE
It was a strange weekend. Everything was canceled but nothing was closed. So the Fellows along with the rest of Winston-Salem went to the gym and then to the bagel station for breakfast

| David drinking his morning coffee... |
 |
| The bagel station was hopping Saturday morning |

| David: selfie photo cred |
We then had game night over at host family extraordinaire The Paynters...
 |
| Homemade Cookie Sheet Cake and Ice Cream - come on! |
 |
| I guess this is how Fellows hold hands now |
 |
| This is how it looks when the guys win four on a couch |
