Blessings abound

So really stop for a minute and process life with me if you would. I have a position right now where they are paying me well to learn from them. Did I mention that I love to learn? It has officially been a week today, and I am already locked in at my new school. This is going to be a place that makes a long lasting impression on my life, how I live, what I do, and where I am at. I never expected to be working in D-town at this point in time, and yet, if you process with me, this is the most incredible place that I could be. Period. Learning how to do things from the best. Everyone in said organization keeps saying 'oh, that is a great school', or 'she is the best' about the principal. I have not met a slacker as of yet. It is energizing to be in a new place, at a new time, with a new approach to life. Refreshing and invigerating. I just hope to 'help' in some way shape or form this year, not just sponge it up.

Our men's group did a fast on Monday, and I think it did some incredible things for people. I prayed solidly all day for the men in our group, and that God would speak to them. He did just that, and it is pretty cool to watch that all unfold.

Tonight, I am at the godson's to hang out for the night. T. wattsy and wifey had some serious things to consider this week, and I am blessed to see the unselfishness in their thoughts, their words, and their actions. I am blown away by their willingness to try to do what is right and love others before themselves. I am certain that God will lead them in the right direction, and demonstrate His love to them.

Once again, summer is over, and the pace of my schedule is picking up. I know I need to keep the balance in check so that I can take time to engage with the kkft that is so vital. I look forward to an awesome fall in all aspects of my world. Keep doing what is right, and wrongs won't happen for you.

Too, Too, Too Much Fun

Alright. So you're sitting in front of your computer right now. And you're saying to yourself at about 8:00 pm: "Huh. It's been dark out for nearly three and a half hours now. What else can we do for fun?" Well, sir, we have the answer. Take a look at this.

Big Difference.

I heard my superstar say this to the girls this week: "Discipline sounds like something that is bad, right? But really, it isn't. It means to push yourself to doing something. Like journalling, reading your bible, spending time with God. That is a spiritual discipline. See how that isn't a bad thing?" For nearly four years now (you can get the full story if you look back to 2007 postings), I have certainly elevated my game in the area of spiritual disciplines. Reading the bible more than I ever did before, truly engaging with what God's desire is for my life, not just when it is convenient, trying to spend time being still and listening to what God has to say to me, and one thing I never really understood why superstar did it - journalling. I really started engaging in my morning "Java with Jesus" when I began to work for my company in the D. I would get up early to drive down Alter Road to the little park where the lake turns into the D river.

My Communication Arsenal

Let’s be honest, we all have moments of glory when we are communicating with others, and moments of incredible fall on your face failure.   I for one have always thought I was a relatively good communicator, and my perspective was that I could effectively communicate and engage with a variety of people from different cultures, backgrounds, ethnicity, upbringing, or what have you.   I have been a teacher, coach, assistant principal, principal, leadership development consultant, school improvement coach/facilitator, and done these things in a variety of areas in suburbia, rural districts, and even in Detroit, Flint, and Brooklyn.   But today, I came across this word arsenal .   I felt as if I was walking down the street of life and a sign with this word was in my path and I walked my face right into it – you know the videos you see online when someone doesn’t see the sign before they run their head into it?   And it was painful.   The pain came from the realization that I have an
