It's the time of year when I'm feeling tired and stale.  How 'bout you?

I want to get inspired--live juicy--and have a vision.  How 'bout you?

I'm so excited to invite you to join me for an empowering day in a small group of motivated and seeking teachers who want to Kick Start Their Vision.  It's a day to get inspired, find a vision, and live juicy.

I'm totally soaking in this first stanza of this Emily Dickinson poem today.  Enjoy!


Hope is the thing with feathers 
That perches in the soul, 
And sings the tune--without the words, 
And never stops at all,




I'm just wondering-- what is perching in your soul today?

Mother's Day is so much about honoring nurturing, so brave heart, let's nurture ourselves.

Here's the question:

What can I do today to nurture myself and love my life more?


I find that it's usually not some big crazy thing like moving to Italy.  It's usually small doable things.  Today I am going to go on a picnic with my little family to a park I really like.  I'm hoping to make some art while we're there.  Keeping it simple is the best way I can nurture myself and the people around me.

Let THIS be the summer that changes everything!

An affirmation for every BRAVE person today:

I know my limits.
I rest when I need to rest,
so that I can fully reach
my potential.



It's easy to rush through life because my to do list so long.  Here is the interesting thing I'm learning--when I keep pushing, I don't just become more tired, but I also become much less efficient.  I also become a less pleasant person to be around.  I'm learning to let go of many nonessentials.  {Living with a 3 year old helps me do this, too!)  I'm finding that I can do more in a rested hour than in 2-3 fatigued hours.  Crazy and good.




I hope you will be taking it easy with me this evening for the FIRST ever Brave Teacher live chat tonight at 9 p.m. Eastern.  I'm really excited to share this time on the topic of Finishing Well!

Something to write or think about today:


What has happened this year for which I am thankful?



When I start to think about what I'm thankful for this year, so many different events, experiences, and people come to mind.  It's not just the easy stuff or well planned parts.  Some of the most unexpected parts of the year have opened my mind and heart to new ways of looking at myself and my work.  {Quite frankly it's most often the stuff I didn't plan or think I wanted that has led to the most forward momentum or change in direction.}

Gratitude is just one part of finishing the year well.  Join us Thursday at 9 p.m. Eastern, for the first ever Brave Teacher LIVE online chat on Livestream!  I'll be sharing a simple (not easy!) plan, free printable resources, and more.  You can just watch or ask questions or make comments in the chat.  It's going to be fun!  I hope you will join us!
