Hello there, 
We are back again with #Mindset_Mondays. I don't know about you but this week just flew by!!

It was so great to hear some of your Goals as part of the Twitter response which I am excited to share as part of this post. For me personally, I love using Twitter as a place where I can get motivation and optimism especially this year where it is very easy to get stuck on the negatives that have popped their heads up haha. 

How was your week? How did you go with setting goals for yourself? 

I think as my *edit* from the blog post last week said. Even with my goals and my good intentions, life happens. These goals and this space is not for us to feel bad when we don't achieve our goals but it is a space for creating intentionality for our week. It is a place where we can help each other be accountable for our actions but also accept that things come up and it is okay to restart each day :) 

Let's see what goals and intentions we can set for this week....

Dear Mammy and Daddy, 
So, I have been thinking over the past while how I can't believe it is coming up to 10 years since I moved away from the comforts of the home you created for me for so many years. The memories, the ups, the downs, the ins, the outs, all of them had a big part to play in the person I am today and I am so grateful for you and everything you have helped me achieve so far. 

The more time that goes by the more happier I am with my own personal life but a part of me feels guilt, worry and sadness for all the years I don't get to spend with you. So, I don't think anything will ever replace time spent with you in person but I wanted to take you on board the amazing journey I get to go on and create a space where I can bring you more into my life on a weekly basis. 

I have tried to write physical letters to you each week but that just doesn't seem to happen, so instead I want to create a digital letter to you where I share my experiences of the week.

​Don't worry mammy, this won't replace the phone calls and I promise I will still try to write physical letters but as part of Season 2 of Empathetic Educators, I wanted to write a weekly journal every Friday of the goings on of my process and what better way than to share them with you. 

​So here it goes.....

So as part of Season 2 of #Empathetic_Educators I plan to release a weekly blog of my thoughts for the start of the week - #Mindset_Mondays

I will be referring to #InnovatorsMindset throughout my reflections. As this book as helped me with my mindset professionally and personally. 

Mindset for me is one of the most important things that helps me overcome obstacles as well as appreciate what is around me. It helps me understand how I can strive for more but also be aware of how I can be content with right now. 


So I just thought as part of #Empathetic_Educators Season 2 I would put this wee blog together to get myself motivated for the week and share it with you to see if there are any takeaways that might be useful in your world too :) 

​Enjoy.....

Wow, what a year it has been so far and we are only in October!! 

I hope you and your communities are as safe and healthy as possible. 

It has been a while since I posted and released because I have been pausing and reflecting over the past few months about how I can make the #Empathetic_Educators Experience as amazing as you deserve.
