Beauty in the small things...

Coming in to work this week was quite the sight! I should have sat for a moment longer to remind myself that although it is easy to get wrapped up in the the systemic duties of this job, it is the little things that show me EVERY day why I do what I do. It is so easy to forget the real reason we are here: the students. Something as simple as a wonderful brainstorming session and a really great group counseling session can get me to take a step back and truly realize the importance of a school counselor. 

Please, please do not forget how important you are this week. Or next. Take moments like this Monday morning sunrise to remind yourself how wonderful you are. Despite the testing, paperwork and politics of it all... you are truly a difference maker. 

Take What You Need...

Sometimes we have to step back and remember why we are here. I love this poster below... and have them posted around the building. I was surprised by how many people stop to take just what they need. In one recent conversation, a colleague stopped to tell me about how she really needed some healing. This led into a meaningful talk about things I would have not otherwise known. What a blessing. She took her little slip of "healing" and moved forward for the day. :)

What do you need this week?
