Happy New Year Team TJ!

I hope that you had a wonderful well-deserved break.  The beginning of the new year and decade for that matter always makes me think and reflect on what was and what will be.  This reflection takes me to the many layers of my life;  layer such as personal, professional, wellness and balance. While reflecting on these layers I am have been brought back to the importance of FOCUS.  Each one of these layers needs my focus so that I can be a well-rounded person.   Last year I shared that my word for the year was clarity.  I would still say that this word is a focus for me but after much thought, I have chosen my word for the year and that word is PAUSE.  I need to pause to think, reflect and savor moments in my life and the lives of others.  When we take a pause...possibilities arise.

I look forward to the remaining few months of our academic year and know and pausing for a moment to savor all the GOOD things that are happening at Thomas Jefferson.  I also commit to take a pause to work collaboratively for the greater good of our site and community.

Happy New Year!
