Treat Yourself To An Adventure Day

8/31/2012

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

8/29/2012

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.

Integrity

8/27/2012

An affirmation for brave hearts:

I am true to myself.

This year I am striving for authenticity and integrity. What do those words mean to you?

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!}

I thought you might like to see a little preview. So here it is. Enjoy!

Walk with the dreamers, the believers,

Let their spirit ignite a fire

Bright Spot

8/10/2012

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!
To receive these fabulous resources delivered to you email on most days,
simply join Brave Teacher Tribe.

Bright Spot launches August 27. We want you with us as we stir a Brave Teacher Revolution!

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!

Would you like some light delivered to you by email?
