Our Global Parents from Sheep Meadow report substantial gains over the past four months from reading and applying inspiration offered through Mary Manin Morrissey's Daily Dream Builder. Sheep Meadow families highly recommend accessing the daily words of wisdom -brief and as Mary forecasts, "arriving in your life exactly when you need it."
The link below allows you to subscribe free of charge to the Dream Builder, and consider development opportunities Mary offers. Our Research and Development Team has just received a generous endowment from Columbia to pair TeacherInterns with Global Parents who currently sponsor a Child-in-Need transitioning this year from our Delacorte Plaza Campus to the Upper School Armory Campus.
The good derived from pairing teacher interns with a global parent team will be on-going and on-site support for parents, direct daily liaison-communication with classroom teachers, and more immediate daily access to crucial interventions for each child. These connections enhance the value of collaboration and real partnership among our Developmental Guardians, Councils, and Consortiums.
As today's Dream Builder focused on the power of acknowledgement. Mary's anecdote may remind you, as it did me, that our everyday is chuck-full of energy-raising encounters! And we can expand the potential of these encounters to generate even more good when we pause to acknowledge such effects upon us.
So try it out for yourself as the Sheep Meadow families have... when we experience something good, pause and feel it...name it, give it space and time in our awareness ...and then share it with someone near or far. Acknowledge the power of bits of goodness actively enhancing not only our perception of good, but enhancing our experience of the good coming to us, coming through us (and those around us)!
This process actually weaves 'wonderful' into our moments both alone and together. As Marshall B. Rosenberg reminds us, through growing our capacity to communicate, we discover ways of making the world just a little more wonderful for ourselves and each other. The power of acknowledgement expands the power kernelled* within each bit of good - good that ordinarily, if not for you, might have been simply 'overlooked.'
As always, blog...blog...blog ... It's the wave of Our Future!
