Planning to live your BEST life!
Most people spend more time planning their vacation, their 50th birthday party or their wedding rather than taking the time to plan their lives.
Be thoughtful about your life....ask yourself:nnhow am I meant to live? What am I meant to do? What things will I no longer tolerate? What standards of excellence will you hold yourself accountable?
By answering these questions you will reveal your own personal philosophy. Without a philosophy you are unable to make choices that are right for YOU. Without a philosophy you may find yourself on your deathbed and wonder "what if my whole life was a lie?" People don't remember you for the money you had or the car you drove...but they will remember who you were....what you did, and what you gave.....as a human being.
Being human also means going through pain and adversity and they are very powerful vehicles to promote personal growth.
Nothing helps your learn, grow and evolve more quickly.
Usually it occurs when we least expect it and we tend to view it as negative...we are judging it, whereas we should embrace it, our lives are not "over" but altered. Let go of the "old" and move into the new. This can be daunting at times....to let go of the safe harbor of the familiar and venture out into the "unknown" seas. So, set sail!!! Enjoy the journey, as you only have one to live!

Bullying Behavior:Behavior that No One Forgets
I speak to teachers all over New Jersey, Pennsylvania, Maryland, and Virginia so I was thrilled when I got a call from my hometown school district, and they asked me to do a workshop for their teachers. Some of the teachers I had when I was a student were still there, and it was a lot of fun for me to be teaching them something.
