Make sure your circle includes people who will tell you....
- No
- Are you sure?
- Have you thought about it this way?
- That was inappropriate
We have to have people in our circles who will push back, challenge, and therein make us better. All from a place of love.
There are a lot of contributing factors that keep the achievement gap open and widening.
Goal: not only to not be one of them as an educator, but to actively ensure that my future community of educators are working against being contributing factors as well

My wife and I have found that focusing more on being teammates and less on being soulmates is a solid recipe for marital success.
Here's quick thread on the 6 rules we try to follow to be a good teammate to each other in our marriage.

tcc just hosted a mental health seminar & for the q&a, there was a guy who expressed that he didn’t understand his wife’s depression & anxiety & asked for help on how to support her. How beautiful is that, he took time out of his day to educate himself for his wife. THAT is love
Someone graduated at 21, but waited 6 years to get a good job.
Someone had no education, but was a millionaire at 21.
Someone got married at 20, but divorced 5 years later.
Someone got married at 30, but found everlasting love.
You’re not late.
You’re not early.
You’re on time.
@kannchy @kt_frafjord I buy lots of my food at the store w/ good bulk options close by & store it in upcycled glass jars. They don’t let me bring my own jars & take the weight off so I have to use the plastic bags but we reuse those as doggy bags! Otherwise, reusable grocery & produce bags for sure
One time this lady asked my coworker and I if the outfit she was buying looked nice for a funeral and I was like “yeah it is and I’m sorry for your loss” and she was like “thanks, it’s actually her outfit. We’re burying her in it”

y’all love saying that your significant other should just *know* how to treat and love you, that’s why y’all don’t last. communicate your love languages and what you may need. relationships and even friendships constantly evolve and needs change. get you someone who’s adaptable
