Blessings of a Teacher's Life
Since this exercise ended, I have continued to count blessings. It has become a fabulous habit-one that is making my life richer than I ever imagined. If you've followed, then you know I am a Christian, a wife, a mother, and a teacher. You know that I work with Bethlehem Ministry in Haiti. I love my life and my work--and almost always I feel that I have in the words of Sir Ken Robinson "found my element." Teaching doesn't take energy from me--it renews me. Still, as happens to most of us at times, there are days when due to illness, lack of sleep, or some other reason I find myself thinking "left foot, then right." Today was one of those days. Then at lunchtime I got an email from the Mom of a former student, Anne Lanier. This mother shared with me the link below--showcasing Anne Lanier's photo essays from her work in Haiti. What a spectacular person and talented photographer Anne Lanier is! I am so honored to have been with her on that first trip. My work brings me into the spheres of special, world changing people. What blessings teaching brings!
