 "...I know I am going where I am needed and though the undertaking is most difficult, it isn't impossible..." ―Janie Porter Barrett Dear Leaders,
Have you ever had an idea that keeps you up at night—an idea that's on your mind most of the day, steadily nagging your thoughts, no matter how hard you try to ignore it? You know the idea exists, but something (or a few things) are preventing you from "getting started." If this sounds familiar, this week's #MentorMonday newsletter is for you! Keep reading.  "Magic lies in challenging what seems impossible.” ―Carol Moseley Braun As we navigate through the changes and challenges of COVID-19, we've decided to try something new with our weekly newsletters. Each week, we'll be sending you content aligned to our four core program areas: creation, connection, confidence and career.
Although we realize this does not substitute for our in-person experiences, we hope that it creates a new opportunity for us to stay connected and support each other through these unprecedented times. Scroll down to check out the new format and let us know your thoughts, feedback, and ideas: "If the structure does not permit dialogue the structure must be changed” ―Paulo Freire Have you ever had a learning need go completely unnoticed by your family or teachers?

In the video below, they share their experiences and reflections on managing stress and maintaining balance:  One question that came up in our With the Fire on High book discussion this weekend was: why do we sometimes choose to date people who are bad for us? Many of us felt that our own insecurities led us to undervaluing ourselves and attracting people who did the same.
