It feels good to be lost in the right directionI
I hope everyone had a chance to step away from work and get lost.

Sunday's Words for the Week



An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life…  He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me,  it is between two wolves.

An elderly Cherokee Native American was teaching his grandchildren about life…
He said to them, “A fight is going on inside me, it is a terrible fight and it is between two wolves. One wolf is evil—he is fear, anger, envy, sorrow, regret, greed, arrogance,self-pity, guilt, resentment, inferiority, lies, false pride, and ego.


The other is good—he is joy, peace, love, hope, sharing, serenity, humility, kindness, benevolence, friendship, empathy, generosity, truth, compassion and faith. This same fight is going on inside you, and inside every other person, too.” They thought about it for a minute, and then one child asked his grandfather, “Which wolf will win, Grandfather?”


The Elder simply replied, “The one you feed.”


I love this message and will focus on feeding the good wolf this week.

Sunday's Words for the Week

My email inbox has been exploding with emails from teachers who are concerned about the climate crisis. We're not talking about weather here, but rather the school climate crisis. I'm sending words this
week from Ken Robinson.  His message made the Top Ten Ted Talks Education List.  I have followed him for years and so much of what he speaks of has been on my mind lately.  Sir Ken leaves us with a bit of hope as he points out that it CAN rain in Death Valley.

Take a listen.....
