It's Time For Courage

11/29/2011

As 2011 comes to a close, I'd like to remind us all that it is time for courage! What does that mean for you? Part of what it means for me is having realistic expectations for myself and others. It means taking the time to dream and plan what I want for the new year. I will be updating you here on some of my plans and giving you some ideas and tools so that this can be a time of courage for you, too!

Take a step of courage today and sign up for the Brave Teachers Play Day, January 16, 2012!

May I start by saying thank you to everyone who has and is supporting Brave Teachers. My heart is overflowing with gratitude for people who have supported this new endeavor. For teachers who have recognized their courage and read this inspiration and website, sent emails, shared conversations, attended workshops, and confirmed the need for this sort of heart work. Please know my heart is filled with gratitude for you.

As you walk along this week,
May you find yourself seeking

Quotable Week Comes To An End

11/19/2011

I just happened upon this quote over on the blog, A Design So Vast. If you've never read Lindsey's writing, check it out. She takes ordinary bits of life and applies them to the heart with brush strokes that often leave me in tears. She's amazing.

So here's the quote:

And above all, watch with glittering eyes the whole world around you, because the greatest secrets are always hidden in the most unlikely places. Those who don’t believe in magic will never find it. (Roald Dahl)

Have a fearless and enchanted weekend, brave heart! (I'm truly hoping this especially for you!!!)

We must be willing to let go of the life we planned
so as to have the life that is waiting for us.
(Henry Miller)

As someone who is in a constant state of planning, I just love this quote. It never stops speaking to me about opening my heart and mind to possibility rather than just the obvious. And I do love what I see when I look down the path of possibility--even though I'm sometimes freaked out by what I can't see around the bend!

Print a little poster of this quote HERE.

Quotable Week Day 4

If you want to build a ship, don’t drum up people to collect wood and don’t assign them tasks and work, but rather teach them to long for the endless immensity of the sea.--
(Antoine De Saint Exupery)

Boy, I sure do wish education worked more that way! There is a big part of my teacher heart that longs for that. I know it can be better and different and more fulfilling for students and teachers. I can't stay in that space too long or I'm overcome by a dark cloud of depression. Any thoughts?

Quotable Week Day 3

I saw this gorgeous sailboat on my way home from the Brave Teachers Fall Retreat this past September. It reminds me of this quote that I found about 7 years ago, and then it returned like an old friend this summer.

Be not a slave to your own past--
plunge into the sublime seas, dive deep, and swim far,
so you shall come back with
self respect,
with new power,
with an advanced experience
that shall explain and overlook the old.

(Ralph Waldo Emerson)

I like this so much that I turned it into a little poster, just for you, brave teacher. Grab it HERE! It will make you think of the photo above!

Quotable Week: Day 2

11/14/2011

"Sometimes to have a beautiful, alive life, requires a willingness to be devastatingly frightened and confused. Magic comes from vulnerability and exploration, not from having guarantees up front. The juice comes from making things up--not from following a path that has been set down before us. Exhilaration doesn’t come cheap." (Tama Kieves)

Does this quote just blow you away like it does me? I think of the most powerful moments of my life that have come from the deepest pain, the greatest sacrifice, and the darkest uncertainty.

I looked back and realized that I copied this into a notebook from the Painted Path. Julia is a poet and artist and a seeker. Check her out.

Quotable Week: Day 1

11/13/2011

I'm completely in love with quotes. I thoroughly enjoy reading quotes on blogs and magazines and websites and books and having my heart whisper or shout, "Yes!" In this spirit, I'm sharing some quotes this week that have rendered a recent "yes" from my heart. Sending these from my heart to your brave heart.

I want to think again of dangerous and noble things
I want to be light and frolicsome
I want to be improbable and beautiful
as though I had wings
(Mary Oliver)
