I've been wanting to start this blog for awhile, to write and share about my current experiences as a teacher and more specifically as an Education for Life teacher. So what has stopped me? All the same old worries that stop many of us from doing new things. Who am I to do this? What do I have to say? Will it be good enough? What if I fail or make mistakes?
Well, there has been a surge of inspiration and energy lately that is helping me to more consciously work against these false beliefs and doubts. Firstly, by just noticing them and then by doing things anyways. By showing up. It's a great trick I've learned along the way that has taken me much farther than I ever expected. Just show up with sincerity and willingness. So here I am, making the commitment to show up and share.
Today is Swami Kriyananda's birthday. He is the founder of Ananda Village, the community where I live, and the author of the book Education for Life which guides and inspires the work we do in our school here and in many other schools and classrooms around the world. I'd like to offer this commitment to write as a birthday present to Swamiji. For the next 40 days (at least) I will write something, anything, and try to connect it to my work as an Education for Life teacher as a way of continuing the work that he (and Paramhansa Yogananda) started in order to inspire change in our educational system.
