Giving Thanks
So, I know that “Thanksgiving” is a myth, but it is a great time to stop and think about all that we are thankful for…
I am thankful for the moment I stood with an envelope in my hand back home in my kitchen…and accepted that GSU was the next phase in the journey…
I am thankful for the 22 people that all challenge me daily… to be not only a better educator, but a better person — more loving, accepting, and passionate…
I am thankful for the 14 kindergarten students that taught me daily and the mentor teacher that showed me what true partnership looks like…
I am thankful for my friends and family in Atlanta that help me discover the beauty and simplicity of a walk through Piedmont Park, conversation over coffee, and moments of silent reflection….
I am thankful for the opportunity to network with others and work toward the common goal of effecting change in these exciting times… having the freedom to fight for equality for all… courage to challenge the status quo… the vision to create what has never existed before…
I am thankful for my Creator who has led me to this moment and continues to lead with creativity and peace through the moments yet to come…
Happy Thanksgiving, everyone!
