Gavin Degraw’s In Tune with His LavenderSense “Belief makes things real
Makes things feel, feel alright
Belief makes things true,
Things like you, you and I”
If you haven’t already, I highly suggest creating a Gavin DeGraw station on Pandora. He is one of my favorite singer-songwriters with a great sound that not only celebrates love and life but challenges our perspective by questioning things like purpose and identity. Add “Chariot” to your morning playlist and I promise you will start the day off right!

DESCRIPTION of EXPEDITION: The goal of this eight-day curriculum is to provide grounding in service-learning, civic engagement and logistics — and an awareness of the issues and potential problems — to allow educators to successfully develop and run a service-learning program at their school. Participants will gain the tools to provide both a high educational benefit to their students and a commensurate benefit to the communities they visit. This course teaches both theoretical and practical approaches, within the context of a service-learning project with one of LiveLearning’s community partners. It is applicable to both domestic and international programs, with a special emphasis on intensive service-learning experiences. You will take part in best practices in service-learning combined with seminars, discussions and coursework designed to advance your knowledge of service-learning theory and facilitation skills.

LAVENDER: (Noun) Shade of purple associated with femininity, refinement, grace, and elegance. Purple and its lighter lavender shades have a special, almost sacred place in nature: lavender, orchid, lilac, and violet flowersare often delicate and considered precious. Lavender is used in aromatherapy to balance unstable emotions, put emotions back in control, and to bring logical and rationale back to the mind, helping such medically defined problems as hysteria, panic attacks and anxiety.
SENSE: (Noun) Meaning, intelligence, consensus or understanding conveyed as in speech or writing drawn from a stimulus outside or inside the body via the faculties of hearing, sight, smell, touch, taste, and equilibrium.
LAVENDER SENSE: (Noun) Meaning and understanding derived from the feminine essence of nature and grace; refined and preserved to evoke and align emotions, logic and rationale to the mind and body.
