Are you a teacher? As you may as well know, I am in fact an elementary school teacher. But, I am also a teacher in the spirit. Teachers, in the spirit realm, are fixers and givers. They are problem solvers and instigators of thought. More than anything, teachers in the spirit realm want to share all that they currently know with those who are on a quest to find. You may know some folks like this. In fact, it is no wonder that the incomparable Oprah Winfrey, whom I affectionately call "Auntie Oprah" wanted to be a teacher growing up. Isn't that exactly what she became? Think of all of the students she has had the opportunity to rear, inspire, and lead towards their own purpose-filled selves. She is a teacher in the spirit. Her classroom may be a bit larger than most, but it is not about how many students you have the chance to touch. It is about how many you actually do. Like, Oprah, we all have the chance to make the universe our universities.
The true sign that you are a teacher in the spirit is knowing that you have some answers and wanting with everything that you are made of for others to possess, for themselves, those answers. You embrace the beauty in sharing the trials and tribulations of life so that others won't make the same mistakes you made. Each time you give of yourself, some student is a little bit closer to getting the lesson. Teachers are not only found in classrooms. They are all around you. And for some of us, they are the embodiment of who we are.
