Thursday is derived from Old English Thu(n)resdæg meaning “day of thunder” after Thor, the Germanic god of thunder. I love that about English; the words we use derive from everywhere and “everywhen”! Finding connections and meaning through the everyday use of words can be a rewarding intellectual and cultural experience.

So, on this Thursday, I hope you can find a few moments in your day to acknowledge your personal power, your thunder, that drums your desire to learn something new today. Baby thunder steps….
