The soul should always stand ajar, ready to welcome the ecstatic experience.

Emily Dickenson

I am looking forward to spending the day listening to narratives from your practice and hearing about joy in nursing leadership practice. My soul is ajar!

Watson believes that caring is a moral commitment to humanity that can spiritually benefit the nurse as well as the welfare of others (Watson, 1988). Both Watson and Nightingale believe in a “calling” that brings people to the profession of nursing. This sense of calling is rooted in love and reverence for all human beings (Watson, 1988).

You will find, as you look back upon your life, that the moments when you really lived are the moments when you have done things in the spirit of love.”

Henry Drummond

How wonderful that our practice gives us so much opportunity to “really live” as Drummond describes!

Good Morning! Today may these words from Mother Theresa inspire you.
