Weekly Intention-2

I decided that this year I would use a mystical wisdom card deck to help guide me in setting my monthly and weekly intentions.

This month's intention is: Take a leap of faith: Remember there is always hope, new possibilities and miracles just waiting around the corner. Enjoy each day as an adventure and live each moment to the fullest. Take a leap of faith and trust where the universe is taking you. This is your time to seize your unlimited potential and embrace yourself for new beginnings, adventure and joy.

My weekly card reading: Resilience- Rise Above Tribulations:  Endure and withstand stress and recover quickly from life changes, misdeeds or a bad ordeal. Face life adversities with courage and patience. This takes compassion, determination and strength that will now be defeated. The resilience of the human spirit and the validity of love inhabits us to rise above our tribulations and fly again. Accept your reality in a positive light and make it good. 

Last week was very upsetting at school since the district has decided to change the level of  services provided to our transitioning English language learners. This change goes against what I believe is best for students. It's disheartening to realize that our prestigious district, which has the financial ability to offer these services, has instead chosen to offer minimal services to a very needy group of students due to the fact that these children's parents are unable to advocate for them. I could sit back and accept what the district is saying but instead I'm moving forward, advocating for the children and being the voice that they don't have. Of course I will do what I am being told to do by the leaders in my district but I will not just sit back and allow people to make decisions about my students without first trying to do what is right. I’ve had meetings and raised questions but it seems I’m not getting the results that I’m after. I suppose this card reminds me to face this ( and any other ) adversity with patience, determination and strength and while I need to accept what is happening right now, to continue to advocate for my students and believe that good will come from it. 

This Week's Mantra: I have the strength to quickly rise above my problems.

I am becoming: more comfortable with advocating for people who otherwise would not have a voice.

I am grateful for: the time that I get to spend with my family.

This week I will learn: how my body responds to eating an entirely plant based diet. 

This week I will finish: the laundry that has been piling up all around the house.

This week I will let go of: pressing snooze 5 times in the morning before getting out of bed.

This week I will create: a daily 5-minute self-care routine to start my day.

This week I will simplify: my life by organizing Lindsey's sports basket in the laundry room.

This week I will forgive: myself if I don't get everything done that I plan on.

Here's to a week of practicing courage and living brave!
