@ShelfieTalk A6: As a school counselling, I hope to incorporate prompts & ideas by using poetry as a tool for emotional expression, self discovery & healing. It will become part their sessions helping them process feelings, build empathy, and find their voice. #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk A5: I create time and space for students to look at the world by slowing down, engaging in being curious, and making room to give space to wonder tru nature walks, reflection and noticing beauty in the everyday. #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk A2:I used to think poetry was just about rhyme and structure, but now that I have read Awakening the Heart, I think poetry is about feeling, voice and how to support students connect deeply with themselves and the world. #shelfietalk

@ShelfieTalk A3. When the sky shows these colors we call it a “Kelsi Sky”for my stepdaughter so she knows we are looking @ the sky just like her. It’s how we connect with her on the week she isn’t with us. The words that accompany it hit close to the heart as a result #shelfietalk
