Just like when a flight attendant is giving the pre-flight safety instructions…put your oxygen mask on first and then you can help others. Take those important moments to care for and love yourself and then you will be ready to take care of those around you! Remember that being kind, caring and loving yourself are the steps forward to liking and loving who you are. When you enjoy your own company, it’s easy for others to enjoy your company as well.

Do you believe in the luck of the Irish? Or perhaps the luck that comes from finding a four-leaf clover? It is said that four leaf clovers stand for faith, hope, love, and luck. It is believed that if you happen to find a four-leaf clover it will bring you good fortune. Do you believe in luck?

I encourage you to look and see how you can serve someone else. Maybe you mow someone’s yard, shovel the snow from someone’s walkway, take out and put away someone’s trash cans, make and serve a meal to a family in need. As you already know, this list could go on and on. In whatever way you choose to serve, know that you are helping to make our world a better place. How cool is that!!!

At the very core of “Keep the Faith” it encourages the preservation of hope and conviction when confronted with adversity. For me, it taps into my beliefs, values, and aspirations. It encourages me to persevere when the journey becomes tough. Keeping the faith is like a guiding light for me in those times of uncertainty and doubt. It lights the way for me when I need that confidence to overcome my life’s obstacles.

I encourage everyone to take a few moments to thank those everyday heroes that you encounter each day. It costs you nothing except for a few seconds of time, and it is priceless what you are doing for the person. You are validating them! We all want and need to be validated. As an educator, when I would receive a note, letter, email or verbal compliment from a parent, student, administrator, or other staff member. It was like giving me a million-dollar bonus!!!

For some of us we may view rest as a weakness, when in reality, when we take a “time out” and we rest, we think better, feel better and do better. I am reminded that rest is a way to reward yourself for all the incredible things you do year-round. Be gentle and be good to yourself. The rest you take now will prepare you for the busy days ahead.

This week’s topic is about “hope and faith”. A great quote that explains it is “hope is the ability to hear the melody of the future. Fatih is the courage to dance to it today.” Unknown. All of us at some point in our lives have hope and faith in finding someone special. That special someone we will love and who will in return love us. I believe it is part of human nature to embrace hope and faith. It is part of our resilience.
