What a special weekend to remember!
Our daughter turns 18 next month, and her birthday gift was a Broadway trip to New York, her absolute favorite place. 💫
Our gift? Time with her. ❤️
Her eyes sparkled with every opening curtain. Her claps were full of joy. And she sang along, play after play after play! 🎶
🎭 Hamilton (with Leslie Odom Jr!)
🎤 MJ the Musical
💚 Wicked on Broadway
What a magical way to celebrate 18! Doing what she loves, surrounded by the lights, the music, and a whole lot of love. 🗽✨

You have to show up for you first. ☀️🌊
Before the kids, before the job, before the community, find the thing that will realign and steady your soul. That is where your strength comes from. That peace allows you to operate at your optimal capacity.
The greatest gift you can give your family and community is a joyful, peaceful, and fully aligned you. Don't chase fleeting external validation; go after the deep inner alignment you were created for. Your mental wellness is worth the investment.
Let's encourage each other to seek alignment today.

It's that time of year again! I love putting together these community care packages for our students, it’s a small tradition we have to remind them that home is rooting for their success.
These boxes are jammed with everything from Sun Chips and Nature Valley bars to a little spiritual reminder from Timothy 4:10. We send them out once in the fall and again in the spring!
If you know a student who could use a little pick-me-up from their community, consider packing a box! It means the world to them.

The fall of 2016 I made a conscious decision to walk away from an amazing job working with a staff that I absolutely loved! I literally went to work with family everyday – which was surreal. There was something telling me that there was more in store, what I had wasn’t it. There was more good for me, more new for me, more challenges for me, more time with family for me, more of everything I valued. But, the catch was … I had to let go of all that I had at that time and not look back. So, I did.
It is now spring 2018, about a year-and-a-half since walking away and I am so thankful that I did. My husband and I not only left our jobs, but we also moved our family nine hours north. Yep, two elementary aged school kids moved in the middle of the academic year ~ who does that? We do; People who are crazy enough to follow that still quite voice and go after that thing with every in us.
Here is what happened. Life happened!
There were no job offers, however there were plenty of rejections! That still quiet voice continued to say … create your own. You are no longer a representative of any organization. You are allowed to be – be adventurous, be creative, be home with you kids, be a friend who returns calls, be an entrepreneur with everything that it inside of you. You are allowed to live with intention and show your kids how to do the same.
Within a year-and-a-half I have established, with my business partner, a growing enterprise, J Morris Enterprises with four companies; re-launched a non-profit organization, MDH Educational Foundation, made investments and commitments to my community, began work on a documentary entitled “the education of a race,” and am building an educational consulting portfolio to continue to build on 15 years of passion in k-12 and higher education.
There is nothing better than becoming more familiar with my personal and professional intention and living the life that I have been given.
There are days that I get it wrong – completely wrong - and other days that could go significantly better. Then, there are those days that I am shocked and humbled by a request that is absolutely amazing, and I think … this is good! Real Good! Through it all and at the end of any day the question is the same – did I give it everything that I had?
There is immeasurable value to choosing to live an intentional life – if you haven’t already, try it.
Be true to and authentically you! You will love it, I do!
