Do Your Best

The Straight Coffee – Wilson Creek, BC

Lately, I’ve been thinking about “What am I going to do with my life?”  You know… it’s the classic “What am I going to do when I grow up” question.  There is no question in my mind that my purpose involves teaching, learning, and leadership.  I am in the field of education.  I derive great joy from sharing ideas, inspiring others, and taking the first step.  This knowing is a gift.  I love public education, teaching teachers, and diffusing the fears of learning mathematics.  All I can do is DO MY BEST and the rest is in the hands of others.  Which leads me to this bagel and lemon loaf.  If you don’t know already, I’m a bit of a foodie.  I enjoy going to the Straight Coffee.  They started off as a little coffee shop in Wilson Creek with maybe 12 seats and a limited menu.  They were great then.  Now, they have more than 30 seats, a full kitchen, a wide selection of sweets & savories, and coffee too.  Their success comes from doing their best at what they do.  Because of that, I keep returning.  Life’s Lesson: Do your best and success will come.
