Planning Next Year – and Another Year of Listening Up

Written By Chad Gramling

We are in the final stages in our Year of Listing Up series, so I gotta start thinking about 2017. There's a lot of great things on the horizon, including a new book (or two!), some great educational e-courses and more. I've very excited about it all and I pray others will find as much value it it as I hope.

A Year of Listening Up - 2017

My book, Listen Up, Kids: Foolish Dreams, Syncing with God & Running to Win was written as a letter to share a handful of life lessons with my daughters. After some formatting and organization, it turned into a book. With the publication, I set out to spend a full year exploring twelve of those lessons/mantras in more detail. It's been a struggle at times, though it has been extremely rewarding and it's provided a lot of growth. If you haven't been following along, if you have missed any posts or you want to catch up, I encourage you to check out the Year of Listening Up page where each post has been archived. With 2017 approaching, I have been going through my journals, notes in books I've read, and digging through various scrap papers to compile a list of potential topics for the 2017 edition. The good news is, I have plenty. The difficult news is, I won't get to all of them next year.

Having too many lessons/mantras to explore is a great problem to have. Why? Because it gets you involve! And I love when you get involved. I've identified a handful of topics I am certain will be included. And I have a list that's about three times as long that I want you to choose from. That's right, I want you to pick out 2017's content for 1Glories. I'm going to share the list here.
