What is your plan for the year ahead? What will you do?
Increasing capacity to love, serve, and care for others
After a 34-year public school teaching career, I am taking a hiatus to build my capacity to love, serve, and care for others. I've identified a number of life areas to strengthen, and I'm in the midst of doing that work--it is good work, and work that will prepare me well for contribution in the years ahead.
Developing a warm, welcoming home
As a dedicated family member, I am committed to building the kind of home environment that welcomes my family members with warmth, love, and support. As my loved ones embark on a large number of worthy pursuits, I know it is important for them to have a loving home where they are welcome and cared for.
Support for family members
Again, because so many family members are in the midst of multiple worthy pursuits, I am ready and willing to help out in ways that I can. This endeavor includes all kinds of efforts from personal care to essay editing to party prep and research.
Awareness and response to community and world events
Staying abreast of world events and responding positively to those events ia another focus I'm dedicated to as time permits.
In year's past, my priorities focused on professional growth and work as well as parenting. Now, in many ways, the role of a supportive, loving family member and friend is taking priority.
