I think I am slowly getting the hang of this even though I posted two items I was't ready to post.

This month we are focusing on Chapter 1.
Like Kelcey said this first chapter is about Little Things Matter!
The little things you do every day, whether positive or negative, will determine the kind of life you will lead.
Sooo ... What was a little something you did the past week that showed the kind of life you want to lead....
I'll start, I had to remove a student from a class I teach at UK because his negative actions were starting to have a negative effect on the other students in my class. I hope it showed him my intolerance of disrespect and behavior and told the other students that I strive to make our classroom one where all people are are treated with respect and they will part of a positive atmosphere.
Soo... What was your little thing. ...

Chapter 1: Little Things Matter
I want to know what your "small steps" are! Share yours, I'm sharing mine and maybe we can help accomplish each others'! Research shows that sharing your goals with even one other person helps keep yourself reliable to make the change. Share with all of us and make the change you want to see in your life!
For Myself:
1. Take more time to relax
2. Don't overdo the activities; I can be well rounded without doing EVERYTHING
3. Do things because I want to do them, not because someone wants me to
For My Friendships:
1. Make time for friends
2. Write more letters and notes/ make more videos
3. Don't get caught up in myself so much; show how much I care for my friends
For My Health (physical, mental, and spiritual):
1. SLEEP
2. Try to run through my calf injury, but don't push it too hard
3. Read more devotionals and scripture throughout the week; God isn't just for Sundays
For My Wealth
1. Try to leave some open space in my schedule for babysitting
2. Kick the impulse buying habit (now that's a hard one!)
3. Saving > Spending
For My Education and Career
1. Study, Study, Study
2. Don't procrastinate!
3. Get back into learning ASL
For My Footprint on the World (what I want to accomplish or how I want to be remembered):
1. Focus on being kinder
2. Reduce my use of gossip and sarcasm
3. Only doing things I'm passionate about, and do them to the fullest

Welcome!
In lieu of our exciting new booklet series, Mrs. Gorrell and I felt that a blog would allow us to efficiently share our comments on a more lenghty level than would Facebook (and would detract from annoying notifications!). Each of you have "Contributor" priveledges and can post, comment, etc. Have it! Discuss! Go!
