Learn at Least One Thing New...

Each day that my brother, sister and I started off for school, our dad would say these magic words: "Learn at least one thing new..." and we would finish it off for him with a slightly exasperated "...and make good choices." At the time I don't think I understood how powerful a mantra my dad was drilling into me. Now, more than a decade since I last heard this refrain, I'm ready to revive it. While I've been busy building a career and chipping away at licensure requirements, I've lost a bit of my sense of purpose, and I'm ready for a creative outlet. I'm on a mission to bring back the passion into my daily life and live out my dad's incantation. Today I will learn at least one thing new and make good choices.
