We have had lots of conversations about how parallel our jobs are, and in particular, around the idea that counseling IS teaching. As you said, it is a way of mediating people's thinking to help them grow. <BR/><BR/>It is funny b/c I was just thinking what a great professor you would make. You are SO encouraging. It is amazing how just a few little drops of it make a person feel like blooming! Education could learn a LOT from you! ;-)<BR/><BR/>Well, no wonder we get along so well. I am very green, very blue, somewhat gold, and not very orange at all. (However, I should say that grad school has made me want to ignore the gold and become totally orange. Pretty dangerous, if you ask me!) ;-)<BR/><BR/>Yeah, I'll be interested to see if you ever end up using this with your clients. It has been really useful to me in helping some of my students parents to better understand why they have such difficulty relating to some of their children.Chericehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/11374407072185351026noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13581084.post-54968481867422702472008-04-29T19:24:00.000-06:002008-04-29T19:24:00.000-06:00I must say that I'm not surprised that your studen...I must say that I'm not surprised that your students found you so inspiring. You definitely have so many gifts and I have been inspired by you, for sure. I'm glad your students and others took the time to thank you and remind you of the good you're doing, too. I've found that in my job (as a therapist--similar to a teacher in that we're trying to help others become their best selves), it's rare to hear that feedback from my clients and coworkers. I try to not rely on that too much, but it feels so good when it comes. BTW--I'm pretty even between gold, green, and blue. I'm one point higher on gold than the others. Hmmm.... that was fun!jennhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/15838032404998485148noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13581084.post-57851589625751713382008-04-29T18:55:00.000-06:002008-04-29T18:55:00.000-06:00You sound like a true inspiration, which is what t...You sound like a true inspiration, which is what teaching is all about!Welch Momhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/09033223730166144451noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-13581084.post-37493317259256436302008-04-28T12:39:00.000-06:002008-04-28T12:39:00.000-06:00It was so FUN to have that last class together!

It's funny how life works that way.Maryhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/14175975556769814625noreply@blogger.com
