Looking at the week ahead, and it’s going to be a doozy! Besides this record-breaking heat wave (it was 113 yesterday🔥🥵) school begins for me and Jack on Wednesday, but we are ready to slay this school year.🎉 We will be doing remote learning until our county’s numbers calm down for a bit.
I’m going to remain optimistic about the school year. My book is with my editor, and I have a hair appointment in two weeks!🤣🤣 Small wins will be celebrated!👏🏽👏🏽
Hope everyone is having a safe and relaxing Labor Day weekend and have a great week ahead!

I wish everyone would just care about others. Period. That’s it. Compassion. Empathy. Kindness. Is that too much to ask? Sigh... I’m seeing too much anger, division, and hatred. It’s exhausting, depressing, and disappointing.

Gratitude changes everything.💫 It puts your life into perspective, opens your heart, and creates abundance. What we need in this world right now is more kindness and compassion, so let’s be sure to start that at home with our children, and spread that goodness into the world.🌎❤️

I believe teachers and parents understand that academics are only a portion of the equation when it comes to school. Physical fitness and the performing and visual arts are vital components as well, but sometimes we forget that social-emotional learning is just as essential.

Teaching our children to slow down and be mindful is a powerful tool they can use throughout their lives, and the benefits are astounding - ease anxiety, conquer depression and feelings of hopelessness, empowerment, relieve stress - just to name a few.

Here are just a few ways in which we can show them how to be mindful, but be sure to check out organizations like @mindup and @pureedgeinc to delve deeper into how you can implement these strategies at home with your own children or in the classroom with your students!

Just got off the phone with my dad, who has been in the hospital for a week (not COVID).😞 The good news is he’s feeling so much better and will hopefully go home tomorrow!🥰 My family and I are grateful to the doctors, nurses, and staff at the hospital for taking such good care of him and to the paramedics who came in like lightning to transport him.❤️ Since family couldn’t be with him because of COVID restrictions, we inundated them with phone calls, and they never hesitated to take our calls. My dad said he can’t believe the gear these medical workers have to wear all day because of the pandemic, and we should remember that they are heroes - risking their lives to take care of others.❤️❤️

I just finished writing my book.👩🏽‍💻🎉
Two weeks ago I said I would complete it by August 14th, and I did.🎉 So, for that, I’m happy and proud.
Having to convalesce after my knee dislocation gave me some serious time to hammer it out.😂
I will keep you updated as to when the print and e-book versions will be available on Amazon! Probably in 1-2 months!📘

#challengeaccepted Thank you to @creative_cache_ph

#challengeaccepted Thank you to @creative_cache_photography and @carameredithwrites for including me in this lovely challenge meant to uplift and support women. Empowered women empower women! ❤️
UPDATE: My friend @evolvedteacher educated me on the origins of this challenge, and I don’t want it to get lost. This originally was to promote awareness of women in Turkey experiencing Femicide. These B&W photos are supposed to show our global support for them. So let’s remember the true meaning behind these photos when we look through our feeds. It could be any one of us.
