As we are starting this new year, I am VERY excited. We have done so much planning and hiring this
summer that I am finally going to see it all in action. There is sooooooo much talent going to be in
the building, and I cannot wait to see all of the amazing things done on
campus. You are all truly change agents
in the lives of students, each other, and this community. Embrace that, and tap into your strengths and
the strengths of others.
One of the things that I commit to for this year is a Monday
and Friday motivational message each week.
They have been coined the “Monday Mush” and the “Friday Flush” – as we
flush out the week of stress to relax for the weekend. I want these messages to give you some
inspiration and help you set goals professionally and personally. Some will be quotes, videos, and songs, but
each is designed to help you. I will NOT
put school practical details in them, and I will not ever quiz you on if you
watch/read them either. They are there
if you choose to read them, skim them, or delete them. Each one is also posted on my blog….some
people share that blog with relatives, and you are more than welcome to do
so. It is mushandflush.blogspot.com .
I figured we needed to kick off this year with a “pep talk!” This kid is amazing and hilarious. I know many of you have seen him or this
video, but it never gets old.
