A Full and Balanced Day ...

In my world and work, there are distinct tough times and distinct moments of pure joy. Today, both are scheduled.

First, a full day virtual seminar. "Missing Pieces" is a 5-session series designed for non-Indigenous educators wishing to empower Indigenous students. Today, I deliver the heaviest of the five. Module 2 is about Canadian history (specifically federal legislation) that over the years has continually and constantly oppressed Indigenous people.

And I am delivering it to an Indigenous audience.

The day will be valuable but heavy. Sadness, anger, frustration, and even the feeling that we should just give up are all common responses but the learning and the living through the emotions is part of our healing. It will be a good day.

And then tonight, the PARO awards. I am nominated and although I do not believe I will win, I love the chance to come out and celebrate the organization that helped me. Without Paro, I wouldn't have a company and tonight, we celebrate that.

It will be a long day. It will be a full day. And no doubt, it is a day I am grateful for.

Whatever your day brings, my speaker friend, be grateful for the opportunities and the growth.

Love ya!

Sandi
