 So here we are at another beautiful Wishcasting Wednesday and Jamie has asked us
How do you wish to be brave? When I was younger people always asked me if I was going to be a teacher like my mom and I rebelled against that for many years. I thought she was a great elementary school teacher and I didn't want to teach school because I didn't want to be compared to her. And yet as I moved through life and landed at different military posts, I often found myself in the position of teaching things that I had a passion for. But I still didn't consider myself a teacher because I always felt takes a lot of bravery to put yourself out there...more bravery than I had. Yesterday I was thinking about how I am combining my love of woman's spirituality and tea and how I'm once again sharing what I have a passion for and it hit me...I am a teacher...I come from teachers....it's in my blood. But I don't have to live up to any self imposed standard by comparing myself to my mom....there's more than one way! So my wish is to be brave in letting go of this impossible to live up to standard as I discover my own way of teaching and sharing my gifts with the world. 30/3/2011 01:10:23
As you wish for yourself, I also wish for you. Air kisses, from Trisha Trixie! MUAH! http://adgb.blogspot.com 30/3/2011 01:28:18

A beautiful realisation and acceptance. I am certain you will step into this bravely. As you wish for yourself, Dionne, so do I wish for you as well. Thank you for your kind comment on my post xoxo 30/3/2011 01:57:34
Wow, we are kindreds!
Your post brought a smile to my face for two reasons--one comparing yourself to your mom, this is something I relate to on so many levels! The other is being a teacher--I wanted to be a teacher when I was a small girl and eventually stopped dreaming it, but as I go through my life, I realize that I was born to teach in different ways than in the classroom. Thanks so much for brining those memories/thoughts to me! And, as Julie said, I feel a kindred spirt--tea and spirituality goes perfect for me too! 30/3/2011 03:27:59
