I am… Learning

Welcome to a new year and I can already feel the shift. Early in 2016, I have already responded to the #bcedchat Resolution Challenge and declared my #oneword for 2016. Was I expecting any changes within a week? Absolutely not. I was just casting out to the universe what I truly desire (at this point in time) and my actions need to follow my intentions. As I was walking my dog the other day in my neighbourhood, it became clear to me that I AM LEARNING. I was overwhelmed with a sense of calm and happiness; I realized my purpose. Since then, my perspective has changed; my mindset has shifted. In this awakening, it was so easy to move forward… to write… make decisions and take risks. From this vantage point as learner, I was able to make myself a priority. For example, I registered for my first EdTech workshop with the iOS Summit in Vancouver, I signed up for the SFU Thesis Bootcamp, and I’m going to see Daniel Pink speak as the keynote at the FISA BC Convention 2016. Am I stoked? Yes I am. I am the learner. Best of all, I am deriving great joy from writing my draft dissertation and finding other opportunities to write, speak, and learn. I am so excited. 11-days into the new year and I have already exceeded my expectations. This is a good place to be.
