The first duty of love is to listen. —Paul Tillich, philosopher and theologian
Interesting that the word heart contains the word ear in the middle. It is so important in any dialogue to listen to one another with our hearts. All relationships are based upon clear, open, and honest communications, and listening is the foundation of communication. Today, open your heart to listen to the fullest.
In loving memory of Gryphon House author Leanne Grace, MEd, we are sharing pieces of her inspirational writing every Wednesday. Leanne was the director of professional development at Hildebrandt Learning Centers and a lifelong advocate for early childhood education. She inspired the early childhood community to prepare children as lifelong learners with her ability to find the extraordinary in the ordinary. One person can make a difference, and Leanne did just that. She will be sorely missed.
