Our yearnings are the same, and I think our approaches are very similar too. :)<br /><br />Gypsy...Its such feeling of belonging as well as a nurturing of learning that makes it so special eh? You know I think thats why book clubs and such are so popular. People want to feel that connection.awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-36154692252419813242009-11-11T23:19:44.832-04:002009-11-11T23:19:44.832-04:00I could just picture the students all sitting ther...I could just picture the students all sitting there, just dying to share but not wanting to be the first. When that moment is broken and the dam has burst, it's a beautiful thing.<br /><br /><br />I did a women's education course at a college once and it was wonderful. I had been isolated for such a long time both physically and emotionally. I sat in the classroom every week in a situation very much as you described....chairs in a circle and everyone listening with rapt attention and I felt myself coming alive again.<br /><br /><br />Thankyou for helping me to relive those moments in time.Savannahhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05185485331789471194noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-87100633665458371052009-11-11T20:13:27.830-04:002009-11-11T20:13:27.830-04:00Love it - live it; on a daily basis.

Teaching is something that courses through my blood. I'm a ham at heart. <br />My goal teaching this course is to bring the real world into the classroom of academia. It is a counselling course with a lot of role playing and application of techniques etc. It also requires the ability to assess and to critically think on your feet.....skills needed in any counselling situation. SO.... I try to get them engaged and interacting right away. This is new to most of them as they are used to lectures. I'm sure some of them think I'm a bit loopy up there, but I don't embarrass that easily. If I inspire them, I am pleased. One thing I do know, is that I always leave feeling inspired by them. <br /><br />As for the topic..... I think Dr. Phil asks them frequently too. lol!awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-13438103824821679882009-11-10T14:33:09.704-04:002009-11-10T14:33:09.704-04:00and you sound good at it!

This is what we ended up talking about. There are people/events/stories/values which we ingest as food for our personal motivation, but there is also an intrinsic component to it that seems inherent and deep within us. I think its tied to the very marrow of our survival instinct. <br /><br />Wiesel tried to encapsulated what it was that allowed him to continue through that long night of suffering and was never able to pinpoint it.<br />We do have it in us.... and if it feels weak at times, may we always have the small amount of drive to seek out the external "food" to fill our cups again.awarenesshttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06098432781380754899noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-17192698.post-7219262969176677852009-11-10T06:16:14.674-04:002009-11-10T06:16:14.674-04:00Does motivation come from those around us, or from...Does motivation come from those around us, or from something within us? Faith? Stubbornness? Hope for better things?<br /><br />I don't know. I wonder why I keep going in the face of difficulties. But I do! So something, somewhere, is keeping me going. What it is I don't know. Wish I did!Gillyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00322140697547406511noreply@blogger.com
