30 Weeks of Wisdom
What Am I Up To
Over the past thirty weeks, I’ve been sharing thoughts and quotes from some pretty awesome people. I try to give thoughts of hope, encouragement, awareness, compassion, and inspiration with my friends on Facebook and Remind. And I’ve found a lot of joy in passing along a few daily notes of wisdom and positivity.
How Am I Up To
Each day I send out a Remind text message and create a Facebook post. Both of these are to groups that originated from a small class I developed for our local Career Resource Center. I share these daily messages, highlighting a different great thinker each week. Over these past thirty weeks, I've enjoyed watching my cast of contributing thinkers and characters grow.
Who Am I Up To
I hadn’t really thought about all these people until this week. This is quite a collection of minds and a pretty great cast of characters. At one time I thought it I may eventually struggle to find people to highlight, but I’ve grown to love the hunt for wisdom. And along the way, I’ve come across some pretty fascinating people. The more I search, the more I realize we are surrounded by the wise and have easy access to their wisdom.
The Cast of Characters
Looking back, I started listing the names just out of my own curiosity. Then, I started looking at the list and thought it might be fun to share. This is an eclectic collection, but I love this cast and the wisdom they have given us. On the following list, the date is “the week of.” The first name goes with my Remind group. The second name goes with my Facebook group. Check out this amazing people.

Quite a Cast
I love this cast of characters. I plan to keep growing and sharing the list. It’s true that we find what we’re looking for. I’m looking for the wise and the wisdom. I’m looking for the positivity and the hope. I’m looking for the encouragement and the joy. And this cast is helping me find it. So this is what and how and who I’m up to. So who is your cast? And what and how and who are you up to? Feel free to share.
Spread some wisdom.
Share some encouragement.
Enjoy the day.
