Inspiration may die out, but we must march forward

I have just got back from a 2 day PD for Musical Futures at Lalor North Secondary College! At the airport waiting for my flight the thoughts of what happens when it all dies down from the excitement and we all return to our day to day lives. I think it is important to use this time to truly reflect on what keeps us going when it's not easy to stand up for what we believe is right.

I in my job have to become a voice for the voiceless in the way. I am the spokesman for the arts, the students and most of all my programs. I am an influence on what students learn and what I teach but also how I model myself to the community and staff.

May my thoughts be always one of what is important and how best I can use my skills to inspire others and myself to continue to learn.

A lot of think time

It's been a long time between blogs and now is a good time to catch up on the last month or so.

Work has kept me very busy but I have also dedicated my time to a few things that I feel are important for myself and my walk in life.

Reading books, studying them and then trying to apply them has meant a great deal of time that in the end I feel has helped me recharge the batteries.

Health wise apart from a cold sweeping through the household, all is well with the family as a whole. This is nearly a year after our family faced a hard slog of life changing the perception to reality. If you don't know it is in previous blogs.

I really have thought a lot lately about what my life means to others and to where I believe I want to be.

I have found some great quotes and inspirations over the last couple of months and will post on these within the next weeks, but I encourage you all to look for the things in your life that stop you from being you, look for the things that you dream about, care for the ones that love you regardless of who is around and what is happening at the time. When you find them, cherish them and remember that it is with their help and support, the day will always be good. My closing thought; Even the sun still shines when it is hidden behind the storm clouds!!

Peace
