The well-preserved spirit of Miguel de Cervantes' Don Quixote conjures up notions of seeing beyond the horizons of our own personal realities, intrigues us enough to pause and gaze at our own constellation of possibilities and invites us onward to a better place and time in our world. This blog is dedicated to all those who seek their fuller and better self. Your time has come. Your odyssey begins now.

Browsing through the Used Career Bin
We all have as our passion a talent or devotion to excellence that in some manner we will hope to share with another - a son, daughter, friend, student, among others. Does completion of a project or assignment as mentor seem to be, at the very least, perfection? To be sure, who can recount one's own such splendor in accomplishment without identifying a notable person of awe-inspiring influence -- a Lehrer, German for a teacher of the highest order?
"Teachers open the door, but you must enter by yourself" a Chinese proverb
"The whole art of teaching is only the art of awakening ..." Anatole France
"Teaching cuts right into your being; essentially, it takes over your spirit. It drags it out from where it would hide". Sylvia Ashton-Warner
Of all the uncertainties we face each day none is more daunting than reflection over how I may be remembered. Fashion a legacy that brings further investigation not simple complicity. Unveil your story, your signature, your moment in the world when at least one other may see it in a way never before viewed.
When faced with the reality of perhaps never finding a place in our world that defines us, years become months, months become days, and days become fleeting moments. How shall we capture the opportunity to make a difference, to find something to stand over and profess as our own, assuring its self-expression for all to see?
