Month: October 2020

If you would have walked along with me this week, you would have seen many things. Life is a series of ups and downs and zig zags. I’ve said many times one never knows what is around the corner and it is so true.

One of the blessings of my week was spending time in spiritual reflection, something I haven’t done in a long time. Deep reflection almost like the retreats I have attended in days gone by, but this time I was physically distanced from the participants and it was at the school I am presently working in.

It felt healing to think and reflect and question. I plan on making a little space in my days to be still and let God in. What better time to do that than in a pandemic.

I have always had great faith , but as of late I have let the connection I have had slip away. Today and yesterday I felt that presence in my life. A lovely warm feeling knowing I am loved and can share that love with others by my actions.

It is a reconnection that will give me a dose of love that is different from all the other love in my life. For that I am grateful.

As I grow and change, I recognize that there will always be room in my heart for love. I have been fortunate throughout the years to fill up my heart with family, friends and youth I have worked with.

Today as I reflect I recognize that I need to keep a space for love and that part of that space is the faith I have and the room for growth in that space.

I am open to all the love that will enter and transform me.There is a place in my heart now and forever.

It’s always a good day to find a way to help someone else. Think of ways everyday that you can do something for the betterment of humanity.

Being kind is good for your mind, so take time today to help others and in so doing your well being will benefit..

This year I decided I wanted to get stronger with weight training. I know as I get older this is more important than ever, so today I had my first training session and it felt great.

This is new for me, but as I contemplated what I needed , I knew taking the time for myself in this manner would be beneficial. As I journey through this process I hope to learn new skills that I have never had before and already I can see this will be a new venture that will be worthwhile.

I love working in schools. They are dynamic , energetic , never dull and just plain interesting places to be and work in.

Youth are amazing really. I love listening to them and doing my best to help them navigate life.

What a privilege it is.
