My invocation prior to our luncheon in the Caucus Room of the Cannon Building in Washington, D.C. on Friday, July 11, 2008 at the close of the NCDA 2008 Global Conference.

However we may choose to experience, appreciate, and express our spiritual nature that is rooted in our unqiueness, our life story, our culture, faith tradition, the practice or non practice of a specific religion, or simply our awareness of an essence many refer to as God, but somehow connects all of us as humanity, as we now come together to break bread - Bless the food we are about to eat, that it may nourish our bodies for the work that needs to be done, Bless the hands that prepared it and now serve it.

We ask for wisdom of mind and heart that we learn to honor our sameness and at the same time celebrate our diversity.

Let us form effective alliances based in integrity and right relationships that give fruits to important insights and appropriate advocacy that promotes and delivers excellent career development for all people across career and life roles and throughout their life span and doing this in ways that support peoples fullest potential and contributions of their unique talents to their families, communities, our nation and our planet.

We seek to accomplish greatness in the work we do, with a humble spirit and firmly grounded in gratitude.

Let us now enjoy our most delicious and excellent lunch.
