As you start to settle in this year, have you found your "marigold"?
If you garden, you may be familiar with the idea of companion plants. This is an idea that you would grow a secondary plant that enhances and/or protects your main plant. For example, rose gardeners plant garlic near their roses because it repels bugs. Likewise, marigolds are used as companion plants in vegetable gardens for their ability to repel pests, attract pollinators, and improve soil health.
Stay with me, I promise I have a point.
In order to thrive this year, you need to find your "marigold". Marigolds in teaching are those cheering you on. They are staff members lifting you up. Marigolds are co-workers that are spreading positivity.
In order to flourish and shine your brightest this year, be sure to plant yourself near marigolds.
This idea is from a post titled Find Your Marigold from Cult of Pedagogy that I ran across many years ago. If you have a few extra minutes, it's worth the read.
