Waiting...

Waiting... whether waiting for a package to be delivered or test results... the process of waiting is very hard.  Perhaps it is hardest because of the unknown.

Not knowing... 

Not being able to make plans... 

The possibilities that can run through your mind, whether positive or negative, can be overwhelming.  So then my focus must be deliberate and positive.  I have faith that all things work together for my good.  

I am reminded of my favorite quote...

"Life is not a journey to the grave with the intention of arriving safely in a pretty and well preserved body, but rather to skid in broadside, thoroughly used up, totally worn out, and loudly proclaiming: ‘Wow! What a ride!’” 
My plans are to live life to its fullest... everyday... no regrets...
Love, Laugh, and Play Hard...
There is so much more I want to do... One Day...

My Today,
Christy

And then it was over...

One year ago I set out on a new journey for my masters in Educational Leadership at Stetson University.  Mission accomplished!!  I must say Stetson was the right choice.  But what a bitter sweet finish.  I am so thankful to have my Saturday's back, however I miss spending my time with some amazing people.  Over the course of the year I have spent about 400 hours with the same group of people.  We have shared many laughs together.  As I move forward with my career I know I will have amazing colleagues to help guide me along the way.

Things I will always remember...
   It's about systems...
   If you could effectively explain to Dr. Eply why his daughter was searched then your safe...
   Make sure your School Improvement Plan is culturally responsive...
   Be mindful of your weaknesses and work on them...
   Collaborate with others... the results are amazing...
   Never stop dreaming...
   Take a break, have lunch with friends, and smile...

My Today... My Year...
