I love the beach in late autumn/winter. It's the opposite of summer. During summer months the beach is warm and soothing and most often lazy and gentle breezes floating by. That is not the case at this time of year. The wind is biting. The water is churning and agitated. The skies are gray. Sometimes it feels ominous. Other times its just unsettling.
I feel like that is a great analogy for the life of a teacher. It changes so much across the seasons. This time of year can feel both personally and professionally agitated, ominous, and unsettling. Some of you are just hanging on. Your year is different than you thought it would be, and it's taking a personal toll on you.
If that's you, I created this website for you. And then my energies shifted. I know that this is still a necessary component for lots of teachers, because so many of you visit here. {Even though there is no new content in the past couple years!} I see you, and I recognize your need.
I'm pleased to announce that in January 2018, I will be returning to regular postings of encouragement, inspiration and uplift. I will also be offering several in person workshops and online workshops that will empower you to care for your soul with gentle and simple practices. I can't wait to bring you, Brave Teacher, more of what you want and need!
Also, I would love to provide some Brave Teacher Soul Care at your school as part of a Professional Development day, staff meeting, or special gathering! Email me so we can talk and get your day/event on my schedule!
