Well, I don't know if I should say this but this was my first thought: To listen takes a truly disciplined person - to speak just takes a person. But let me go one step further, what a blessing when a person speaks a message that brings meaning to life. I love hearing with an open heart to those that speak with wisdom.
Karen - You are so right. Brian and I have talked recently how discipline and dedication is lacking in every area of America. I believe true success is also founded through discipline and dedication.
Born in 1960, you can say she's a boomer. She's married to the love of her life, Brian, who is also her pastor, mom to three gorgeous kids, and wears many different "hats." Her personal passion is singing and she recorded her first CD which was released February 2007. You can hear clips at her website, www.janaallard.com.
Sometimes the listening proves to be more difficult!

ReplyDeleteJana, This is a great quote because both parts are true. It's like the quote about "the wisdom to know the difference."
