Mission Statement: Be the change...

I'm excited to start another school year! August always gives me time to reflect on last year and make plans and goals for the upcoming year.
I also try to get really clear on what values are driving my actions, which usually results in some sort of update to my personal mission statement. Here is what I've come up with for this year. I like it because it's all encompassing, and it sort of clarifies my overarching value of Living Whole-heartedly. It has already helped me to make decisions with intention and to guide my daily efforts during a time of less structure.

Be the Change...
A kinder, more joyful {thankful} place 
where individuals feel:
  • inspired to contribute
  • to show up authentically
  • to create reflections of their uniqueness
  • to find and feel belonging
  • to pause mindfully and
  • acknowledge the gift of living one more day
Where to start >> send notes of thanks; do random acts of kindness; make time and space for mindfulness; CONTRIBUTE WHAT I AM ABLE; teach and model authenticity, kindness, gratitude, health, balance, and compassion for self and others; brighten someone's day; make art and share it.
