The last month or so has been a challenge. Teaching two online courses, starting to train for a half-marathon, finishing my Leading Edge Certification, taking care of my Dad and getting ready for a doctoral program... finding time to stop and reflect has not been easy. But as I look forward towards the next phase, I again remind myself to stop and take a look at things, and learn from both what has worked and what has not. And to breathe. Again. Or maybe just take a deep breath before jumping into the deep end!

The journey in front of me is huge, and the destination is far away. But as long as I can remember that the journey IS the reward, I can make the most of every single interaction; every conversation, every reading, every a-ha that I encounter. I face an amazing opportunity to learn from and with some fascinating people, with worldviews and experiences that I know nothing about. It's time to work on nurturing relationships rather than just sticking to myself and my comfort zones and grow those connections.
