 I was especially enjoying all the conversations with so many different talents and creative minds and one of them had asked, what is the difference between giving and contributing? And giving, you know, everyone has a gift to give and that is yourself. You have a gift to give and when you give a gift, you give it from the heart, which means you're not expecting anything in return. And so that's the best gift anyone can give, especially as an educator because there you're reminded of yourself that you were a child at one time and you had an experience. So now is your chance to give that opportunity for this child to enjoy education. That's what I like about this sharing. You know, when sharing as a First Nations being a blood tribe member, I think about the four aspects in our nature, which is mental, physical, spiritual. If we can balance those, and I had mentioned they're like seeds, if we nourish them each and every one of them, they can grow to be beautiful, powerful gifts. And when we use those each day, especially with the horizon of hope when we open our eyes, we know we're blessed with another day. And then the vision comes, say, what are we visioning today and with who and with everyone in the building, but it's those kids that we focus on. And so when we use our four aspects and share them with our children during the day, we're blessing them or nourishing them in their growth. So that is so important to work that way. I always say when we're dealing with children, they have different experiences. We don't know what happens before they came into that door. Hey, what kind of move they're in or if they had a good rest or if they had a nice evening, so us welcoming them with the guidance of the four directions, with the guidance of vision, wisdom, knowledge, and caring, hey, these are the four packages we'll be carrying out throughout the day for that child to help him or her and make sure that she or he feels a lot better leaving the school as when he was coming in through that door. And we as educators and adults now, that's our responsibility because with vision, we want to vision with them. We want to see in dreams, we want to know what the parents have in dreams for them and if they could share it with us, that would be their encouragement with us and letting us know that, yes, I trust you with my child because I see the difference. I see the change when my child comes home or he has, you know, he's happier today and is willing to go back to school tomorrow. And so when we're in the education field, I would say the two most important words to be our guide is the willingness and the desire to give of yourself. Too many times we see things as structure and then we look at the titles and then everybody has to have that title for them to feel important. It doesn't have to be that way because I had mentioned, you know, you take your title and you come in that through that door, you take your title, bring the back of your pocket because in the building, we are family. We all know our duties. We don't need to wear our title. And so this way we work as a team and who we put on the pedal stone is we. We don't say I, I want this or I have learned about this or I want you to know about this on the pedal stone is we as a family. And the other thing I've been given the opportunity to do staff retreat where I work with the custodian to the principal and I have the TP set up. And the way I range it, I did a prayer, several nights of prayers for my planning. That was my lesson plan is just pray, pray, pray. That was my lesson plan for the retreat. And because I was given that opportunity and I grabbed it so, you know, so willingly and with my desire to share, you know, and to give of myself, I had them come in to my TP and I said, before you come into the TP, this entrance, you take your, your cap off, which means your title and you come in with your heart and we do an honor song, which helps you open your mind and your heart. And then we do a prayer and I do some, some talking and a bit of exercise. And towards the end, I hand out rocks and on the rocket, we'll either say, faith, laugh, love, believe, or inspire, appreciate, compassionate. And so I'll have them in a nice basket and I would pray over them. And then I would go around and each take a rock. And I said, don't, don't look at it. Just hold it, hold it. And then when everybody has their rock, you'll get a chance to, you know, think of what's going to happen, you know. And so when you open your rock, the first thing that comes into your mind, that's what you need to take care of in your heart and soul. And that really changes an individual because as educators, we're so busy with lesson plans throughout the week, throughout the weekend that we forget to take care of ourselves. And we tend to live with what we learn in the university, what we learned throughout the education journey. And so our life is structured. And then we forget about the four aspects. We're living by that book. We're not living by our heart's desires and what we want to give. So we look at it that way, then our lessons come naturally. Sometimes they say, what a coincidence. But it's not coincidence. It's God incident. It's because you've taken care of that. You've balanced your four aspects. Those are very spiritual. They're a total blessing because it's a different kind of journey and different kind of vacation. What you're expecting is totally not there. It's totally different. And you come back with a feeling and a healing because the place that you have visited is told about you. There's a history. And when we talk about history and stories, while it starts from the home, our history starts from the home. Then we go to these different journeys and we step on different lands. And then if we hear about them and the happening said, we're taking place there. You'll relate to so many different steps there. And you'll go through a healing without asking for it. And then when you leave, like in the evening, when you go back home and you kind of evaluate your feelings and who you talk to, who you shared with and amazed yourself, like, do you know it's going to share this? It just came out. So that's part of the healing. It's a blessing. So it's like I said, every day is a gift of life. And so when you get opportunities, you never waste an opportunity, especially those trips that are given to you. You know, given to you, you're invited to. You never say no to that, yeah. Well, I would say that being the individual that I am as a First Nations and given that opportunity to do workshops and retreats with staff helps us, including me, to leave our doors open and to learn to live with faith and to live with hope and to live with love.
