“If we connect with nature, we can reconstruct our soul, spirit and strength.” – Lailah Gifty Akita
This month we will be taking a brief break from our blog. August is exceptionally busy for leaders in higher education. Most are trying to squeeze in the last days of summer vacation and get ready for fall semester.
I can relate. It seems work has been non-stop since spring. So, I’m really ready for some time away to recharge my batteries. Next week, I’ll be spending some time camping on Lake Michigan with my family. I love camping because it helps me connect with nature and refuels me in a way that nothing else can.
Please look for us in September, when we will focus on our next leadership competency in Minnesota State: Demonstrates Good Stewardship.
Until then, I hope that you are able to take a little time for rest and renewal before the fall semester begins! As for me, I’m hoping for warm sunny days and cool, star-filled nights along the shores of Lake Michigan.
