I was wading through a cornucopia of textbook today. Books containing the goods about organizational psychology, organizational development and how to become a (less dysfunctional) leader.

This is my world right now as I study for comprehensive exams. I’ve spent hours reading, highlighting, post-it noting relevant entries. When I felt tired, I thought about the support from family and friends.

I feel as though I have fairy Godmothers and Godfathers scattered everywhere…ready to offer encouragement, hugs, cookies. And I am grateful for my fairies because you give me strength to keep on moving.

And just like Cinderella opens her windows to be greeted by chirping blue jays, I threw open my curtains this morning and was also greeted by a bird.
