Mindful Monday: Your Purpose

We are nearing the halfway point of the school year.  And if you haven't had a stumble or two, I'd be surprised. If you're not feeling tired, I'd be shocked. Teaching is hard. Molding the future is demanding. Managing students is next level tiresome. To say what we do is tough, would be an understatement. 

I don't say all this to make you feel worse or defeated. I say this because what we do is important work. I say this because what we do matters. I say this because perhaps your purpose is even bigger than you imagined. 

You are in this line of work for a reason. You are here by design. So, thank you for showing up. Thank you for not giving up. And thank you for rising to the occasion. 

When it gets hard, I simply ask you to remember that you're not in this alone.
