Main Presentation:
Rande Sotomayor,
the esteemed independent attorney and mediator known for her positive approach to bring understanding and harmony to the most challenging situations, asks us all --
What Moves You?
Can spirituality be considered the force behind the many channels and agents we explore to find purpose in ourselves and understanding of others? Since we are all stuck with each other on our Earth, we find ourselves on a never-ending expedition to discover how to engage meaningfully and successfully with other people. In business and personal relationships, a Kindness mentality can be one “fast-track” channel to understanding and action.

About Our Speaker
 Rande Sotomayor is a Los Angeles-based independent attorney and mediator with nearly 40 years of experience in civil commercial litigation. A champion of good-natured and honorable legal tactics, Rande is well known for her down-to-earth, common-sense approach and the determination and optimism she brings to every mediation. She specializes in employment, business, real property, personal injury, and insurance disputes. Most of her mediations involve parties of diverse cultures and nationalities, including Armenia, China, Egypt, France, Ghana, Hong Kong, Israel, Italy, Lebanon, Mexico, South Korea, and the U.S.
Rande is a Distinguished Fellow in the International Academy of Mediators and is a member of the National Academy of Distinguished Neutrals. She was selected for the 2017-2022 Southern California Super Lawyers lists in Alternative Dispute Resolution, has a Martindale-Hubbell AV Preeminent Rating (Peer-Rated for Highest Level of Professional Excellence), and has been named a Top Attorney by Pasadena Magazine, 2016-2022. Rande has also served as a professional mediator, judge, trainer, and team coach for the ICC International Commercial Mediation Competition in Paris, France, 2016-2022. She currently sits on the Board of Directors for the Pasadena Senior Center.
 Following what was largely a sedentary life, Rande discovered the wonders of the natural world in 2012, when a neighbor led a hike for the uninitiated, such as Rande and her husband Jess. In 2014, at the age of 56, her connection with the natural world expanded as she began trail running and then racing, from 5k’s to half-marathons to ultra-marathons, in our local mountains and far beyond. She says the rhythm of running, the delight of feeling strong, and the opportunity to run in gorgeous remote environments give her the feeling of being a bird.
Rande’s evolving connection to the natural world and appreciation of people with differing core values have allowed her to develop approaches to healing misunderstandings, improving communications, and helping others resolve many forms of strife.
She and Jess have lived in Pasadena and Altadena for the past 35 years. They have three grown children, one wonderful son-in-law, a granddaughter, and a new grandbaby on the way!

LYRICS
"Our Journey Home"
Dean LeGrand Carlston 2/17/2018
We're sailing on the sea of life,
facing obstacles in our way
As we command our vessel,
what will be our compass day by day?
We must express our true identity,
it is all we really possess
Each person divinely implanted,
with power to heal and bless
We have each something special to say,
No one else can say it just our way
Our purpose to add to the pool from which,
All may drink
Together sharing life's wisdom,
single strands woven to one force
Greater strength within this union,
the sum acquired from our common source
Limitations, They're just illusions.
Threads masquerading as chains that bind
See through these limitations.
Forgive... Love... and be kind
And so, we travel through life's purpose
Hand in hand much stronger than alone
Arms embracing one another,
until our journey finally brings us home?
Lyric inspired by the writings of Carol Soucek King, MFA, PhD,
Hua Anwa, Native American Spiritual Leader,
Nan Rae, Artist, Motivational Speaker
How Great Thou Art
Carl Boberg, 1886
Verse 1
O Lord my God, when I in awesome wonder
Consider all the works Thy hands have made,
I see the stars, I hear the rolling thunder,
Thy pow’r thru-out the universe displayed!
Chorus
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Verse 2
When thru the woods and forest glades I wander
And hear the birds sing sweetly in the trees,
When I look down from lofty mountain grandeur
And hear the brook and feel the gentle breeze,
Chorus
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
Then sings my soul, my Savior God, to Thee;
How great Thou art, how great Thou art!
"It Is No Secret"
Stuart Hamblen
The chimes of time ring out the news, another day is through.
Someone slipped and fell. Was that someone you?
You may have longed for added strength,
your courage to renew.
Do not be discouraged, for I have news for you.
It is no secret what God can do. What He’s done for others,
He’ll do for you. With arms wide open, He’ll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.
There is no night for in His light, you’ll never walk alone.
Always feel at home, wherever you may roam.
There is no power can conquer you
while God is on your side.
Just take Him at His promise, don’t run away and hide.
It is no secret what God can do. What He’s done for others,
He’ll do for you. With arms wide open, He’ll pardon you.
It is no secret what God can do.
