A Mind of Peace

Here is a tile I made last winter. We have a beautiful Buddha statue in our hallway. I used the peaceful face of that statue as my inspiration. Today was a challenging day in the teaching world but I think I made a special connection with a young lady who is having difficulties fitting in. We talked about what inspires her and what she would like to do with her future. I got her to smile and open up a bit. We found out we have something in common! These moments are what makes the teaching profession so wonderful and rewarding. I hope you found something to inspire you today.
Namaste.

Blessed are the Peacemakers

Here is a tile I made in my class with Cami Lien at Santa Fe clay. When I see it and the other things on my Buddha table, it reminds me that we all need to be peacemakers. Maybe not making national headlines or the local news but in your own heart and home. Check out this website today and see if you can recognize these peacemakers. It's quite a list. If you find one you don't recognize or don't know . . . research their work in the world some more. http://www.salsa.net/peace/faces/index.html
