Some new goals to strive for...

Wendy Ulrich gave a wonderful presentation at Time Out for Women.  She had seven new goals that she gave us.

1- Stop worrying about your weaknesses.
2- Don't try to get motivated to exercise.
3- Stop trying to find friends.
4- Don't try to feel happy
5- Celebrate Failure
6- Don't get help with your problems
7- Don't endure to the end.

Here's the website for her center- Sixteen Stones

I'll expand on these seven points later.  Right now I have a date with a room full of 5th graders in my first ever venture of being in charge in a classroom for a couple of hours.  A good friend gave me the tip that a bag of candy goes a long way towards good behavior when a sub is in the classroom... wish me luck!
