A Different Perspective

Darren Beck shared this fascinating picture.  If you look at it long enough you will see a different perspective.  As we strive to make Esperanza the school we want it to be we need to be willing to see things from different perspectives.  This is a real art as each of us has a different awareness wheel because of our unique life experiences. 

Seeing the Magic Happen

On Facebook Darren Beck shared a diagram that I really liked that showed that magic happens outside of our comfort zone. Then this morning I was sent the following from the "word a day" listserve.

A THOUGHT FOR TODAY:
If they give you ruled paper, write the other way. -Juan Ramon Jimenez, poet, Nobel Prize in literature (1881-1958)

Both of these are a reminder that if we want Esperanza to be a one of a kind excellent school, we must be willing to move out of our comfort zones and "write" in another way. That is when we will see the magic!
