Good Morning

This week Guernsey Gwen (with the help of the fairy folk) will focus on your superskills. Kind words and a smile go a long way when we are feeling tired and the weight of the world rests on our shoulders.

LOOK IN YOUR DESK DRAWER EACH DAY THIS WEEK FOR A TREAT

Monday

Today, älvor, a fairy from Sweden talks about today’s super skill which is….

Managing your Time bank.

Your treat today represents your time bank account which is refilled each morning with 86400 precious seconds which have disappeared by the end of the day.

You are a busy person. You prioritise your tasks so at the end of the day everything that needs doing is done. You often invest some of your time seconds for the next day. As a kind person who looks out for others, you often get hijacked by time bandits. A tidy desk shows a tidy ‘mind’ which shows you have a tidy and efficient approach to your job.

Tuesday

Today, the Channel island witches, on their renewable broomsticks, talk about today’s super skill which is….

Kindness

Your homemade treat today is multi faceted and represents your kindness in many spheres. I wonder if you were a scout once because you think of others before yourself and you go above and beyond to ensure that the pupils you teach get the best opportunities. Sometimes doing this saps your energy such as the newspaper opportunity and you don’t always get the respect and thanks you deserve – but please rest assured that Guernsey Gwen notices.

Wednesday

Today, Le Grande Colin, one of the senior pouques, is here to talk about today’s super skill which is….

Innovative

Your homemade treat today is deliciously innovative. Guernsey Gwen experiments with her cooking and produces some most entertaining combinations. She is sorry that she is unable to leave some blue cheese ice cream in your desk drawer but she feels you would be rather glad that she hasn’t. Instead you have something homemade and warm as it was made fresh this morning.

This particular super skill of yours is very powerful and not many humans would be able to come up with so many unusual and amazing ideas leading to opportunities for the girls. Guernsey Gwen’s human just loves the way you are able to set her brain fizzing with excitement and enabling her to iterate and innovate and bounce off your enthusiastic brain waves. This is one very special skill of yours that few people have.

Thursday

Today, Peter Rabbit, is here to talk about today’s super skill which is….

Resilience

 That naughty Peter Rabbit is just the character to represent this super skill. Guernsey Gwen knows a lot about this as well! You have this super skill in abundance. You never give up- if it goes wrong then you find another way. You learn when it goes wrong and then iterate and fine tune and go off in another direction if needed. Good for you! keep going, keep doing…. where there is resilience – there is hope.
 
You don’t have a home-made treat for today…you will need to make your own. Using your watering cup as a container.. sprinkle the seeds into the soil and add some water. Put with the rest of your plants and it will continue to be magically watered. Wait and see what grows in a few weeks. (It will disappear over the holidays, along with your orchid, to get watered.) What will grow is symbol of hope and resilience.

Friday

 Today Eco bunny will not be looking at a super skill but instead, at the end of the week, reflecting. Your usual end of the week treat is in your top drawer.

Reflection

You have a unique and powerful set of super skills, ones that can really make a difference to those around you. It is true that with this set of skills you were seen to be the solution to the universe and everything… well you were the right number !!! But that hasn’t worked out probably due to brick walls. Ultimately though, to solve problems you need to acknowledge that they are there and put in meaningful solutions that will be accepted. Kindness and appreciation is the most important at the moment and a close look at systems to streamline them is urgent. You have those skills but a team is needed for anything to be effective – and you are a natural leader. It is also true that sometimes people have to help themselves and compromise to move forward and lots of humans will think like the Billy Goats Gruff and act in a way that tells you that they think the grass is greener on the other side. It rarely is and humans who think this are always sorely disappointed when they get to the other side.
 
I hope you have enjoyed your visit from Guernsey Gwen. She has enjoyed it and had lots of fun.
 
 A presto il mio amico 🙂
