In the opening session of the 2014 PLA conference, Bryan Stevenson shared amazing personal stories and advice. By the end of the talk, I believe every person in the room felt a connection with Bryan and his amazing life story.
One of the ideas that really stuck with me was: Choose to do the uncomfortable. It is when we push for things that opportunities arise. It is exhausting to do uncomfortable things, but we must remember to be brave.
So what makes you uncomfortable? Go find it and make a difference.

Working technology (like iPads) into storytimes and embracing the positive possibilities of technology in early learning make me totally uncomfortable. I’m pushing myself to move past my gut response and “get with the times.” It has been an interesting journey.
