BE INSPIRED
I appreciate the Slice of Life Story Challenge because so often I see experiences I’ve had in life captured in others’ writing. This is the heart of March for me: connecting with others, gaining a deeper understanding of myself, and experiencing a deep sense of trust and belonging.
One slicer who has reached me on this level is Ona Gabriel with her blog On a Thought. In her most recent post, entitled “Be Still,” she crafted a piece in which she captured her thoughts and feelings about a big transition in her teaching life. Each line was so familiar to my teacher heart: the excitement, the uncertainty, the anxiety, and the hope that accompanies change. If you’re looking for a post that will both resonate with you and inspire you to capture your own thoughts and feelings about big life events, check out her slice!
