Oops! I've already fallen behind!

I have to admit! I had much better intentions of writing each week. I guess if that's the only wagon that I fall off of this year, then 2015 is sure to be great! 

My dear friend, Tammy, asked me to choose a word for 2015 and it has taken off. 

Inspire...

So far, in the past two months, I have realized how much I can be inspired by others and also be an inspration to others. I was inspired by several colleagues to make healthy changes. Seeing their successes inspired me.  I've  went about my weight loss in a whole different way and it's been a much better journey and change for the better.

Now, friends are seeing the changes that I have made are working. They've asked me what they can do. NEVER, in a million years did I think someone would ask me for diet and health advice. So not only am I inspiring others, but now I'm even more inspired. 

I must run for now!  I will catch you up on more inspration soon!

Inspiration, Laughter, the Healthy Changes and SNOW!

My word for 2015 is inspire.  This week has been full of inspiration.  As we headed back to school, I sat thinking about how much those around me inspire.  Laughter, teamwork, and support are ways to inspire and be inspired.  I find myself often inspired by seeing others and their successes.

Laughter

I have to celebrate laughter.  It's that thing that gets me through the day.  At school, laughter has carried me and my pals though many things.  It also continues to do so everyday.  Outside of school, laughter is the key of letting go of life's stress.  Celebrate laughter...

Healthy Changes

I have been inspired by several people around me to lead a healthier lifestyle.  It may only be week one of this change, but I can see that I have been inspired.  Every morning, I have been walking for 30 minutes on the treadmill, making healthy eating choices, and even walking with my team after school.  Celebrate healthy changes...  

Snow

Call me crazy.  Give me those dagger eyes.  I LOVE SNOW!  It's magical, it makes me feel like a kids again, and I love the spirit of the kids when they see the flakes falling through they sky.  Celebrate snow...

Enjoy the week ahead!

OLW 2015- Inspire

One Little Word- OLW

Wow!  I have been challenged by a dear friend to choose one little word for 2015.  As I sit here thinking about what word could be for me in 2015, I have reflected on the past year and what I feel might be missing or what could help to make the year or years to come better.   I am one to not only worry about myself, but those around me who are near and dear to my heart.  I wanted one word that could not only make a difference for me, but others.

Inspire...

I decided to choose the word inspire.  As a teacher, I feel that inspiring others is something that I do without knowing that I am doing it.  So maybe, 2015 should be the year where I am more aware of how I inspire myself and others.  As 2014 ended, like many, I sat thinking about what I could change in 2015.  Of course I ended up with a list of goals and challenges.  After seeing the list, I had to motivate myself to make changes.  Now that we are four days into 2015, I have to admit that I have already had to inspire myself to keep with changes.  I also am inspired by others.  Sometimes a tough situation or tough day inspires me to change, improve, or reflect.  As I head back to work tomorrow, I want to inspire myself, my friends around me, and of course my students.

Happy New Year everyone!
