The Radiant Colours of Your Journey – Anderson Connect

The Radiant Colours of Your Journey – Anderson Connect

This month’s Connect is a reminder of the colour and light you bring to the world, and how your efforts ripple and spread through all that you are and do!

A chill and change is in the air, but that doesn’t dim the warmth we feel for the adventure we share at Anderson College, with our students, with our team and communities. As the colours become radiant and days shorten, giving more time for moonlight, we’re thinking of you.

Every day you wake determined to share your spark with the world, dedicated to your training and to the difference you’ll be able to make to those you serve and the people you love. We want you to know you make a difference, and we admire your tenacity and drive. And on those cold days or in chilly moments of life remember … every second reaching for those stars is worth it because you’re lighting the way for so many others.

Today’s read is approximately 4 minutes.

A Thought to Ponder

“There are two ways of spreading light: to be the candle or the mirror that reflects it.” ~ Edith Wharton

You are both.
You are a light for the world as you study to improve your skills, enhance how you can contribute within a profession for those you serve, in your community. We are honoured to watch you shine.

You are also a mirror, reflecting that the dedication we put into the programs we choose, the curriculum we design and community partnerships we forge are truly worth the effort. We are humbled and inspired by you.

Thank you for being a part of our journey and allowing us to be a part of yours.

The Moral of the La Luna Adventure to the Stars:
Hope and love shine through; with quiet determination and trust in what can be, and confidence in our own abilities and brilliant light, we each find our unique way to make the world brighter.

Here’s to keeping warm inside and out, to shining from within in all you envision and do and knowing that is always enough.
