It's too easy for kids to be anonymous in math class, says the researcher Peter Liljedahl (@pgliljedahl). The solution: get them out of their seats to tackle hard problems together. #BuildingThinkingClassrooms https://t.co/MFJixJMMMK

Someone asked recently on here to name the one voice that has meant the most to them on this platform this year. It is easily @MattJThiessen. He always sees me, loves me, encourages me, and helps me do the same for myself and others. ❤️ & I get to be with him all the time.

Honoring my wife @hathiessen today. She’s a very special woman who’s done a tremendous amount of work just to feel celebrated on her birthday.

Sometimes circumstances hit us that we can’t control, and it feels like God telling us what we’re worth. A rare, planned visit from…

Having your birthday on New Years Eve is a mixed bag of emotions: joy, disappointment, happiness and some grief (missing my dad’s birthday phone call) This years is difficult, but I am grateful for my hubby @MattJThiessen & son who make me feel loved and special.

A recent survey found 85 percent of school principals are experiencing job-related stress and 48 percent are dealing with burnout. And 1 in 2 principals are considering leaving the field or retiring. They are stressed out too!

May we walk in empathy and with love. We don’t know the unseen struggle and pain walking around us. Stephen “tWitch” Boss was one of the first dancers that brought me to tears with his performances. May he rest and May his family be comforted.

about suicide, i always think of the great warsan shire's words about refugees:

"you have to understand...
no one . . . (leaves home)
unless the water is safer than the land."

may he be free.
may his family be comforted.
may we be love.

A prayer:

May we feel our hearts smiled at like this.

“‘I love you,’ ‘I’m proud of you,’ ‘I forgive you,’ ‘I’m grateful for you.’ That’s what eternity is made of: invisible imperishable good stuff.”

We all need to think about this.

Thinking of all the people on here who used this medium to inspire, comfort and spread joy. May you find places of connection filled with what you need to be your true self. You’re worth it.

2/2. 30 years later…years full of joy, sorrow, struggle and success. And he still chooses me. And I relish in the fact that I am loved. And that I have loved him from that moment to this one. Happy “Choosing” day @MattJThiessen love you babe.

On this day 30 years ago, a 6’4” man chose to sit in the front seat, in the middle, to be next to me as I drove a group of friends. The first time someone chose me for no other reason than he saw something of worth…in me 1/2
