I too have one and absolutely love it. With that being said, I enjoyed the path that the rest of your post took. It is giving me much to think about and some more (oh, no!) books to browse and consider purchasing...yes, you influenced me, but at least I already own the Vitamix. :) Thanks for sharing! ~AmyAmy Warntzhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/07449813200426432125noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608822337507338034.post-19949239418868105142016-05-31T21:41:52.081-04:002016-05-31T21:41:52.081-04:00Yes, it is very useful to have others close by to ...Yes, it is very useful to have others close by to go to in order to reflect. Without buy-in and ownership, change is very difficult and forcing change often lacks both.

We've been talking about mindfulness at my school and considering ways that we can help students be more mindful. If you have any ideas, I would love to hear them.Lisa Maucionehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/17391834262945101696noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608822337507338034.post-25903889242587085742016-05-31T18:33:56.920-04:002016-05-31T18:33:56.920-04:00Lisa, thank you for sharing so many resources! We...Lisa, thank you for sharing so many resources! We love the idea of being influential - change is often perceived as forced- influential gives it a different feeling. We have found social media to be an amazing resource -- but we also love having a group of local educators to reflect with. Thanks for a thought provoking blog.<br /><br />Clare and TammyClare Landriganhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06413627163568088181noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8608822337507338034.post-69520469065331793352016-05-31T08:28:23.936-04:002016-05-31T08:28:23.936-04:00Lisa, Thanks for this very thoughtful and thought-...Lisa, Thanks for this very thoughtful and thought-provoking post! You remind me of a conference i attended a few years ago, where they challenged all of us to be leaders in our roles, even if we don't hold formal leadership positions! That changed the way I think about what I do on a day-to-day basis. It empowered me (as your post does) to understand myself as an educator, what I believe and why, and to share that with folks. I try to foster an open atmosphere of sharing and encouragement with the faculty with whom I work. This past year, we focused on mindfulness in education and it was a great year! This year, I'm not sure what it will be yet, but this approaches forces me to continue to explore new avenues for myself first - otherwise, I have nothing substantial or meaningful to share with others. Thanks for the great resources in this post! Much appreciated. Keep up the great work!Anonymousnoreply@blogger.com
