I don't remember what book it was, and maybe some of you will know, but the first phrase is "life is hard." We are on this earth to overcome challenges, grow, and to contribute and be of service. When we are aware that it will be a wild ride, we saddle up, and mentally prepare to overcome, and know it will all turn out well in the end with the lessons learned and the person we have become.
This year I have taken on a teaching position, I have been teaching for over 15 years, but not in a school environment, and just like everything else in my life, I want to go in open, collaborate, and find the click. I was talking with a teacher that has really figured out how to lead a firm yet loving classroom, the students show respect and learn, and she always uses a calm voice, gives warnings, and the kids know to listen or there are consequences.
I have never been a fan of consequences, but now as a mother to three toddlers, as much as I talk sometimes I have to send my husband in to get the point across. Bottom line of this post is about constant learning, there is never a point when we stop learning, there is never a point when we know everything, and that kind of sounds boring.
There is one person in my life, I will not name, but she really thinks she knows everything and always says "if only everyone would listen to me." I think this is old world thinking, and done with life thinking, the world is always changing there is not such thing as right for every person, every time.
So I ran across this article about Russian Jews, and it really struck a chord because this was my family. Coming to a new country as a blank slate, belonging to nowhere, with roots erased. I feel so blessed to have rekindled the roots of my ancestors, and am happy to know the couple that runs this event personally, my son goes to their preschool, and I teach Yoga to the ladies in the community.
