I have found a slower pace of life. While my days and nights are still full of activities and projects, the demands and pressure are different. I can truly appreciate this season.
I’m so thankful for these two books which have influenced me greatly. I highly recommend them if you would also like to learn how to savor the moment:
Whispers of Rest by Bonnie Gray
Present Over Perfect by Shauna Niequist
Here are a few examples of how I treasure the time I have on this earth:
- Taking care of mom and filming her Facebook Live Videos each week: Frankie’s Encouraging Words, has been a huge blessing to mom and to me. We love hearing from old friends from Gaffney and reading how she is inspiring people from all over the country.
- Working on education initiatives with the greatest school district in the world fulfills my souls’ longing to help students be successful in life.
- Supervising well-prepared student teachers from the most reputable clinical education program in our state allows me to advise eager young teachers and partner with talented Mentor Teachers in our district.
- Spending quality time with Roger is such a gift. We absolutely love going downtown to listen to live music and explore different restaurants with our good friends. Roger had Melanoma surgery in March and we are ever so thankful he is cancer free!
- Walking Ruby each morning and evening is the perfect way to spend time with neighbors and enjoy time in nature.
- Celebrating special occasions with Jake, Brancey and Nick makes me appreciate every minute I get to spend with them.
Thank you for reading and let me know if I can help you on your journey!
