Here is your weekly dose of The Sunday Spark ⚡️ a newsletter listing 5 inspiring things I thought were worth starting your week with: 
 
 
  1. 🧐From my desk: How to Stay Focused and Achieve More During Your Workday.
  2. 📚 Calling all parents and teachers: Do you want to help students learn better? There is a free and brilliant course called: Uncommon Sense Teaching. Maybe the presentation is not the best, but no one is more credible than these instructors.
  3. 💪 He’s doing another challenge: Join the free “5 Brave Days Challenge” with Jon Acuff! He is a fantastic teacher, and I learned a lot from his previous free challenges; sign up and you will feel the same. It starts on September 26th.
  4. 🌳I have recently changed my search engine from Duck Duck Go to Ecosia, the search engine that plants trees; you can do the same for the environment.
  5. 💗A favorite quote about love:
“There is a difference between intention and initiative. Nowhere is that difference more starkly apparent than in love. We can have the intent to love others, but without initiative, without real acts of respect, caring, and affection for another, intention alone remains useless, soulless. Thinking is not love—giving is."
―Brendon Burchard, The Motivation Manifesto
