Connections, Connections!

If you know anything about me, which most of you will soon learn, I have always said how important connections are in life. Whether it's with a lover, a friend, a student, a mentor - who you impact and who impacts you are two of the most important concepts in the world. I have never really met anyone who has not left some sort of imprint on my heart - come to think of it. That imprint may be awful...but still ...it means something. I think this is why I am now going to sign myself up for the world of blogging. My best friend, Tessa Lynn, has become an avid blogger - and I never really saw myself as doing it! However, very recently (like a week recently) my mother passed away, a man I really thought I would have a good relationship with turned into the oppostite, and many people from my past have decided that they would like to reconnect...(death is a crazy thing, people). So, I figured why not - one, we have no idea how long we are on this earth for ...so share your life! Two, if I can connect with someone because of a story...that's amazing. Three - would love to learn more about others and their life stories!

I've also always worked in Higher Education (yay!). I've realized that the most important and meaningful stories are often not shared! Why, because we focusing on talking about theory and training...when we should be sharing the "aha" moments...the moments that make us realize why exactly we are doing what we love (this is a whole other post in itself). However, I would love to connect with those of you who understand what I mean...and maybe those of you who don't - :).
