[Motivational Quotes @spreadcheer1]

When your focus is on building a life filled with harmony and peace, toxic people around you become irrelevant. Their actions don't have impact on you. Their opinions don't hold value anymore. Align with your higher good and you will distance yourself from distractions.

A. Einstein had a deep love for music, and it played a significant role in his life. He was an accomplished violinist and often used music as a means of relaxation and brainstorming. His violin, nicknamed "Lina," was a constant companion throughout his life. Einstein himself once said:

"Life without playing music is inconceivable for me. I live my daydreams in music. I see my life in terms of music... I get most joy in life out of music."

Each of us deserves the opportunity to learn in a welcoming and inclusive environment.

The diversity of our mathematics educators should reflect the diversity of our communities.

Admin, make sure your teachers aren’t pouring from an empty cup. Help keep their cups filled with encouragement, support, appreciation, patience and kindness. Because that’s what you want them pouring into their students' cups too.

[Motivational Quotes @spreadcheer1]

Forgive yourself for all the mistakes of past. Let go of your obsession with thoughts of past disappointments. Pull back your energy. Shift focus to new possibilities. The old phase is over. Free yourself of the old patterns of thought and behaviour. It's time to start afresh.

This time of year, some teachers, staff & admin may feel overwhelmed or need help. Most will not reach out because they think it makes them look weak or incompetent. Take a moment to check in with each other and lean on each other if they need it. Teams build each other up!

We are not positive because life is easy. We are positive because life can be hard.

Give yourself (and others) grace.
Speak life and encourage others.
Look for the good today.
Remember your WHY.
Believe the best is yet to come.

I've been a math educator since 2003 and Building Thinking Classrooms in Mathematics by @pgliljedahl has more potential to improve the way we teach mathematics than any other book I have ever read.

I wrote a blog post to share why we should all read it:

"Some people will be mad at you for not being who they want you to be. One of the biggest forms of self-betrayal is living your life by their rules instead of your own. Your task is simple: Be kind, be real, be humble, keep growing, and unapologetically live your best life."
