My word?!

I try to take time during classes to get to know the students. One of my favorite exercises is to ask them to give me one word which would describe them best.

This is very enlightening, especially after reading Sacred Contracts from Caroline Myss: She uses archetypes to assist you to symbolically understand your relationship with yourself and your environment, in order to let go of those patterns which do not serve you anymore. An excellent read if you are looking to find your purpose in life, but feel a bit stuck.

So after giving it much thought, I came up with my word - Storyteller. Very chuffed I was ready to display this to whomever was available. This word was not received with much enthusiasm by my loved ones: Eye rolls and comments like "is this going to take long..." is currently breaking my stride. But because Student was also a possibility, I keep at it with courage and perseverance.

Although, thinking about it now, Princess might not be a bad one either?!
