We have all heard the expression, “things will fall into place”, or “It was meant to be.” When experiencing disappointment, uncertainty, and confusion, those words ring on deaf ears. The reality is the toughest times may help cleanse the soul, expand the mind, and clear the path toward a more joyful, fulfilled life. Three years ago I stepped off my invigorating and demanding career path of school leadership. I was uncertain at the time if my pause was temporary. Time to ponder, reflect and explore enabled me to discover new passions, plant new seeds, and set new priorities. Past experiences, strong values and fluttering curiosity have supported the foundation for the new steppingstones that are guiding my path. I look forward to narrating my story and describing this path one stone at a time. I have realized that one’s professional and personal journey is neither temporary nor permanent but a naturally connected mosaic with each contributing piece exactly where it is meant to be.
The sporadic stories, musings and reflections of What Moves Margo have centered around community, culture, diversity, leadership and teaching practice. The new stones of this evolving mosaic include adventures as a Grandma, Gardener, Birder, outdoor enthusiast, traveler and explorer. I look forward to reflecting on the interconnected stories and experiences from the past, present and future
as I continue to explore What Moves Margo.
