Mindful Leadership
What is a leader and what is mindful leadership? In what ways do leaders serve the greater good? These questions are difficult to answer. As I reflect on them my answer would be: A leader is someone who can guide people into their vision that will serve the community. Our personal values come in to play in that leadership must be given without an agenda of manipulation or coercion. A good leader should have integrity, self-awareness, courage, respect, compassion and resilience” (quote from the internet)
Walk Your Talk – You Make A Difference
Most of the world was aware that November 5, 2024 was the presidential election in the United States. After voting earlier that day, I knew it was unlikely that definitive results would come in before I went to bed. The race was too close to call.

Leading Learning: Fostering Growth and Empowerment as a Teacher

Navigating Change and Creating Purposeful Living
Life changes: Moving, relationships- new ones coming in, or established ones leaving- career changes, births, death, all bring a need for conscious reflection and a choice, even if that choice is something we feel has been imposed on us by events we feel is out of our control. Truth: Many things ARE out of our control. Relationships dissolve, people move away, friendships ebb and flow. People die. We often do not have control over these things, so, how do we keep moving forward? We have no control over the actions of others, but we DO have control over how we respond. We are resilient. Most of us have survived, to one degree of another. We might be bent, and might feel broken, but we are still here.

What truly matters is how we respond. By embracing change with openness and intention, we have the power to shape our journey in ways that align with our values and purpose.

Beyond The Physical: Exploring The Four Pillars of Holistic Well-being
Our bodies are innately designed to heal themselves; we realize this is true, but did you know there is a whole other aspect to your being?
Many people go through life without any awareness of their body or their being. We are human but basically, we are animals; in Latin anima means breath. If we think about that for a moment, without breath we do not exist; there is so much more to our beings than our physical bodies.
