Monday Mush

Ok, I heard this point today, and I thought it was perfect for the jobs that we do.

Someone said today that we should focus on our lives in such a way that people would miss us terribly, if we had to leave. I think nothing would speak more to a job well done or a strong relationship built if someone says "oh no, not her" or "we can't lose him, he is vital...."

We want to be teachers that our students and parents cant live without, employees that our central office can't function without, co-workers that our team can be without, spouses/friends/siblings/children that our loved ones can't make it without, and such amazing neighbors that our neighborhood isn't the same because we left.

If you were to have to be transferred to Honduras tomorrow, would you be that employee that can't be replaced? Would you be the one that we scramble to find anyone half as good? I am lucky to work with so many people that fit that category. You are meant to do what you do, and you are clearly here because you are designed for where you are.

This week focus on making the world a better place in practical ways. Find ways to support kids that need support more than ever...find ways to go beyond your "typical" role on your team....find a way to love your family more than you currently do. Become better in very small ways...look for the ways that you can make a difference...and do it!

Thank you for giving yourself everyday...thank you for not giving up on these kids...they deserve to have the best teacher that they have ever had. Find a mirror, if you want to see him/her....

You guys are awesome...I couldn't replace you!

Happy Monday!
