Treat Yourself To An Adventure Day

8/31/2012

0 Comments

 
Picture
Are you trying to get into the swing of a new school year?
Are you juggling too much?
Are you stressed?

Overwhelmed?
Are you super busy?


Why not treat yourself to an Adventure Day?


If your thinking that there is no way you have time for an adventure day, then you REALLY need it!


What is an Adventure Day?


I'm glad you asked!
It's a day when you put the to do list away and you let go of the routines and you go on an adventure!


For all you Type A people I even made a little planning worksheet so you can get your day just right.  For everyone else, it's just a fun artsy sheet to make sure you really take a day to adventure!  I personally think that planning is part of the adventure!


Your adventure could be solo, with family, or with friends.  It could be walking, driving, or even more adventurous.


It could be as short as an hour or as long as the whole weekend.


Treat yourself well!


Where will your Adventure Day take you?

Light And Frolicsome

I want to think again of dangerous and noble things. I want to be light and frolicsome. I want to be improbable and beautiful and afraid of nothing as though I had wings. 


— Mary Oliver







This quote has just been screaming to me for about a month.  I'm totally crushing on the poetry of Mary Oliver.  I'm so struck by the way she has really lived her life the way she wanted--long before it was cool or trendy.  There is a great interview with her by Maria Shriver HERE.

Great Gratitude Idea For The New Year

8/25/2012

I saw this idea on Facebook.  The idea and photo are from Homestead Survival.  It says:


"Start the year with an empty jar and fill it with notes about good things that happen. on New Years Eve {or the last day of school}, empty it and see what awesome stuff happened that year."



I thought this was brilliant for a new school year.  I have a huge jar on the cabinet behind my desk--can't wait to start filling it.  {I already have lots of gratitude in the first few crazy days!}

Walk with the dreamers, the believers, 
the courageous, the cheerful, the planners, 
the doers, the successful people 
with their heads in the clouds
 and their feet on the ground. 
Let their spirit ignite a fire 
within you to leave this world better 
than when you found it... 

― Wilferd Peterson

Sending you courage and strength!

I can't even tell you how excited I am to announce this transformative annual event!


Brave Teachers proudly presents:

Brave Teacher Fall Women's Retreat
September 28 - 30, 2012
Lakeside, Ohio




Our soul centered theme this year is  "Keep It Simple & Have Some Fun."
{We're focusing on resilience--not just surviving, but thriving!}

We will gather on Friday evening over good conversation, food, and drinks. We will have a little focus discussion and plan the rest of our time together, based on the needs of the group.  Saturday will be spent creating, journaling, talking, and adventuring.  Sunday we will wrap up the projects we started and enjoy our old and new friendships.

Doesn't it sound like pure bliss?

SIGN ME UP NOW!

Brave Teachers provides food, learning tools, crafting materials, and surprises, 
And you arrive with an open heart, bedding, and whatever you need to be comfy for a few days.

Here's a quick video from last year.

Last year was truly amazing!  Everyone walked away with more in their heart than when they arrived.

If you're not familiar with Lakeside, it is a gorgeous Chautauqua community on the shores of Lake Erie.  Spending an autumn weekend in this setting is a gift unto itself.



Here's what you receive with your investment:
  • 2 nights lodging
  • coaching time with Brave Teacher Mim
  • simple meals Friday evening through Sunday morning
  • workbook of the weekend's lesson and support activities
  • all the materials to create a keepsake project
  • a intimate setting to relax in the company of brave women like you

Life is hectic--sometimes overwhelming.
Teaching is challenging.
Sometimes it's easy to feel lost or uncertain or undervalued.
Sometimes we just need a little bright spot to set us back on the right course--
give us a bit of hope
and remind us who we are and why we do what we do.


I'm so excited to be offering daily emails of encouragement for brave hearts--that's you!

Fill Your Well

8/9/2012

Here is a question for all brave hearts to write or think about today:


What are you doing to fill your well?


As school is beginning, I feel like I'm approaching the starting line of a marathon.   On the eve of a marathon, participants do something called carb loading.  It's not an eat anything you want event--rather it is specifically about filling up your well so that your muscles can access ready carbs to keep working when they are depleted.  


So how are you filling the well of your heart, so that when you feel depleted you can access the resources easily that will keep you going?  Find something!  It might involve time with family or friends or in solitude.


I have been especially blessed this summer to have all sorts of memories with my family that I know will sustain me, and I'm giving my best to caring for myself because I know I will be reaping the benefits in October and November when I'm starting to feel depleted.


Be exceptionally brave, and fill your well today!
