I found an interesting e-book about Social Leadership at The Social Leader. I went to a Thomas Jefferson Education conference last weekend, because I have been homeschooling Carson for a few months and may pull Devon out next year. Anyway, they were talking about Social Leadership and how we need more leaders in our country. Not the BIG leaders that are famous, but us, normal people who help others.
This e-book talks about the six pillars of Social Leadership. S-submission O-Oneness C-Calling I-Integral Education A-Action L-Liberty.
I of course read it with my family and birth in mind. (I have a one tracked mind apparantly, or I guess 2 tracked)
Submission to a higher power. I feel this, certainly as a mother and in being a doula. I love feeling that God is there to help me in all I do. I feel His hand guiding me along in all things.
Oneness- We are all connected. I have a great family and wonderful friends that help me!
Calling- I certainly feel like it is my calling to be a mom and right now to school Carson at home.
Integral Education – Talks about going back to the classics, asking important questions and thinking! I belong to 3 book clubs, that helps me read different books. Though I should maybe read more classics!
Action- DO something! It is one thing to feel you have a calling and educate yourself, but if you do nothing, then it won’t help anyone. I don’t think you have to do something GRAND to make a difference, just do something.
Liberty – Freedom to make choices and to learn and grow.
It was an interesting and inspiring article. Feel free to download it and read it yourself!
