Such a true and powerful statement. What storm came to clear your path? Mine was when I was in nursing school and I was placed in a nursing home.   I knew that was not the career for me and decided to drop out of nursing school.  I went home to tell my parents who were very disappointed.  It has now been 30 years of doing a job that I LOVE.  My path was cleared by the storm.

Spending time thinking about what you are grateful for can really change your attitude for the day.  The first thing I do upon waking is say five things I am grateful for:

Today mine were:
my family
my home
my friends
my students
my school-Shared Journeys

Doing this daily is of great benefit!  What are your five for today?

The wonderful question of the day, what are you doing for others? 

At home:
At school:
In the community:
For your family:

Please share.

What are some of the things you once thought you could not do that you now accomplished or are working on accomplishing?  For example, I never thought I could raise four daughters while working full-time and going to school for my master's degree, but I did. Strength is a powerful tool to help you reach your goals.

Happy New Year!  2020!!  Wow!  What an exciting time.  Fresh start.  Time to look ahead.  What are the top three things you are looking forward to in 2020?

December is a time of giving back to make the world a better place.  How do you give back?

What do you believe?  I love to give and find so much joy in seeing the smiling face of someone I have helped along the way.  <3
