December 19, 2014







Twenty plus years of experience in education and somehow I still approach this last week of the year with the expectation that we'll have those cozy, calm moments together that come with the season.
Reality check...it is fraught with last minute deadlines and stress. Then bam...everyone is gone for two weeks and I feel like I'm standing in a daze going...wait a minute...there was so much I wanted to say; to express how much I care and send well wishes. Now I'm left with what feels lame - words that can't really convey how much I care and how much I wanted to hear what you will be doing and looking forward to over the coming weeks.

I'll be thinking of you - sending those warm and caring thoughts your way.

I would be so thrilled to learn when we return, that you spent every minute of every day doing this: Leaving thoughts of school behind and balancing your life by giving 100 percent of your attention, love and energy to those you love (and to yourself). The work will always be here.


See you in the New Year!
Deborah

P.S. Josie - thank you in advance for hosting our staff get together! In case I forget to tell you - I had a wonderful time (aka - Pretty Woman).
