2024 Reading and Schole Goals

 

Motherhood gives me a reason to invest in my own nourishment; it isn't my excuse not to.

I truly believe that I have no right to show up to the work I've been given malnourished.

I have every means, opportunity, and ability to show up filled and overflowing.

So, I do.

I feast upon ideas, and I don't allow my mind to atrophy.

I'd never go without eating and expect to function normally and serve my family, so I don't starve my mind and expect that either.

I also believe that I have no right to use my lips to ask my children to love to learn and to be a learner for a lifetime while using my example to show them that it isn't really possible.

So, for me, Schole isn't optional.
