You should always try to fly. Just think of what you could accomplish if you allow yourself to go and defy gravity.

Printable: Disney: Wisdom from Eeyore
Eeyore isn't a particularly over joyous character but I don't believe he's quite as melancholy as everyone says he is. He's a very insightful character and these simple words have power and need to be put out there. Where I live especially people have forgotten that they are not the only ones and it's frustrating so just remember there are others around you and be mindful - it really could make all the difference.

Printable: Faith: Trusting God
Trusting God is a big leap of faith, really the ultimate leap. In order to follow Him you have to walk blind. Things are revealed in His time and never in the way we think they should be. When it was time for me to go back to teaching - I talked to lots of people and had 3 interviews. I knew which school I wanted to be at and thought where I'd be best at - that is not the place where I'm teaching at now. It was very clear that Clinton Christian was where I was meant to be. It was the only place where I was hired - so literally God shut every other door and window but that one. While I was overall excited to get back to teaching and to get back to second grade - I was a wreck. I didn't know the why this place would be for me but as soon as I crossed the threshold it was shown over and over that it was for me. And no, it hasn't always been easy there but I'm there for a reason. There are things I need to learn, ways I need to be strengthened, and people that are invaluable to me. It's been a place where I'm doing things that never entered my realm of possibility but I find myself loving the new challenges and seeing the realization of a whole host of possibilities I could be prepared for. And God did that - He made sure to put me where I needed to be and He knew he had to do it in a way that left it as the only option because He also knows how I roll.
That's not the only story of having to follow God when I wasn't sure where it was going. But my life wouldn't be nearly as awesome with Superman and Cupcake if it wasn't for God. So it may be hard to trust God when you have no idea what He's doing but it is so worth it.

Printable: Motivational: Second Chance
It took me a very long time to learn this - each day is new. It's brand new, we've never seen or experienced anything like it before. Each day is different, sure they may have parts of the same but they're not put together in the exact same way as before. So, therefore, it stands to reason that we also are new. Each day is another chance - at life, at love, at friendship, at adulting. So I know it's hard not to be so hard on yourself. It's hard to not obsess over interactions with others or a certain thing you said. It's hard to let go and try again. Well you got back on your bike after you fell, right? So tomorrow wake up, get back to life - who knows just what awesome things may happen.

Disney: Snack Recommendation: Jungle Juice Slushy
If there is one thing to be said about your Disney vacation is that at least once in your trip, no matter what time of year, you're gonna say, "I'm hot." And if you are going in the summer you'll think or say it once every 5 or so minutes. To Disney's credit there is a numerous selection of delicious frozen drinks available to help cool you down. Let me interrupt myself and say we thought we knew snacks at Disney. We thought we had those nailed and were pretty unimportant to us. We. Were. Wrong. Disney has revolutionized this whole genre that is snacks - to the point that you with your snack credit you can have another meal. So to say we had a great time discovering these delicious little treats all over the property. One afternoon we were taking a bit of a break in Animal Kingdom when on a whim we bought the fabulous concoction that is the Jungle Juice Slushy.
Park: Animal Kingdom
Area: Africa
Snack Stand: Mahindi
It was a hit for us all immediately. It is a delightful mix of orange juice, guava, and passion fruit. And when I mean delightful mix - I mean it all comes together in this sweet, cool slushy that puts any ICEE or Slush Puppy to shame. It made it that you didn't want to gulp it down but to savor each sip and roll it on your tongue. If you are ever in the mood to cool down or just enjoy yummy things I would suggest giving this a try.
