I’ve been given the challenge of improving literacy skills in the classroom. I’m teaching English, and infusing specific mindfulness tools for focus and confidence. Consider creating a calm learning environment for my students. https://t.co/BeeSOuGTwE

"Being strong means refusing to tolerate people and things that wound your soul. It means practicing self-care when you’re hurting. It means honoring your feelings by actually allowing yourself to feel and express them. It means treating yourself with compassion and kindness..."

Another wave of future health professionals practicing yoga for self-care. I love sharing #mindful practices with these nursing-pathway students. #fhsmindfulness #fairdale4life

Avoiding certain people to protect your emotional health is not weakness. It's wisdom.

“Anything that annoys you is teaching you patience. Anyone who abandons you is teaching you how to stand up on your own two feet. Anything that angers you is teaching you forgiveness and compassion. Anything that has power over you is teaching you how to take your power back..."

Those who died yesterday had plans for this morning & those who died this morning had plans for tonight. Don’t take life for granted. In the blink of an eye everything can change. So forgive often & love with all your heart. You never know when you may not have that chance again.
