One Word 2019

January 1, 2019January 1, 2019 Tamara

Do you make New Year's Resolutions? How does that work out for you? Do you make it to the end of the year with completed checkboxes? Are all your line items marked off the list? For me, New Year's Resolutions result in failure. Every. Single. Time. I used to create a long list of goals… Continue reading One Word 2019

Special Delivery

December 10, 2018December 22, 2018 Tamara

As a technology integrator assigned to two schools, it sometimes gets a little confusing to know which day I'm at which location. Even though I have my calendar linked to my email signature, and have signs in both schools letting others know of my whereabouts (and they are consistent from week to week), I am… Continue reading Special Delivery

World Kindness Day 2018

November 13, 2018January 1, 2019 Tamara

Four years ago, in the early years of my kindness journey, I stumbled across a blog post someone wrote about World Kindness Week. Inspired to embrace an entire week of kindness, I set about different acts of kindness for each day including simple, small acts that others might miss. I wrote a blog post about… Continue reading World Kindness Day 2018

Like many schools around the country, we host an election experience for our students as they vote for their classmates as officers in the Student Council Association (SCA). Just weeks after school begins, students in grades 4 and 5 gather references, complete applications, and record campaign speeches to convince others to cast their vote in… Continue reading SCA Election

What If?

June 28, 2018August 12, 2018 Tamara

During the ISTE Conference in Chicago this past week, Katie Martin challenged us to answer the question, "What if?" I swirled around this question during her keynote, then posted my response on Twitter: The power of 'What if' is the belief in hope and endless potential! #WhatIfISTE18 Later that evening, as my teammates and I traveled… Continue reading What If?

Change is an Opportunity

June 14, 2018August 12, 2018 Tamara

Last week I had the honor of leading the closing keynote for the Clarke Innovation Conference. As several of you know, I've had "Keynote Presenter" on my professional bucket list for quite some time, ever since I got a taste of keynoting at a local conference several years ago. The topic of my keynote was… Continue reading Change is an Opportunity

Leader By Action

April 22, 2018August 12, 2018 Tamara

It's always a joy to reconnect with Tom; he is… Continue reading Leader By Action

Innovation Lab Update

March 18, 2018August 12, 2018 Tamara

Several people have reached out to me on Twitter and Facebook inquiring about our Innovation Lab and its transformation. I realized, while I have spotlighted several activities throughout the year, I have yet to write an overview of our journey thus far. I became a technology integrator ten years ago, assigned to an elementary school… Continue reading Innovation Lab Update

Kindness Rocks for Parkland

March 4, 2018February 4, 2019 Tamara

  There are times in life where we can't begin to imagine the global impact of our actions. We are focused on our one moment in time, doing what we do, thinking, "That's it! Mission accomplished. On to the next thing." We have no idea how far our seeds can scatter.Two weeks ago we celebrated… Continue reading Kindness Rocks for Parkland

It’s Random Acts of Kindness Week! One great way It’s Random Acts of Kindness Week! One great way to scatter kindness in your community is to show appreciation for those who serve you and your family: grocery store cashiers, nurses, teachers, sanitation workers, waitresses... the list is endless! Thank them for all they do with a smile, a heartfelt compliment, or even a surprise! #passionforkindness

I’m normally not a huge fan of winter. It’s co I’m normally not a huge fan of winter. It’s cold. The days are shorter. It’s more challenging to go and do on a moment’s notice. 

However, I am learning to appreciate the stillness of winter. The opportunity to slow down, reflect, and renew while the world also slows down is actually a gift to treasure. 

Today I am thankful for those moments when I can catch my breath, and in doing so, see things with a brighter perspective. The stillness allows me to rise above the weight of those things that were previously pushing on me. That’s a beautiful thing indeed! ❤️ #passionforkindness
