Kelly Clarkson singing The Dance — a song that helped her cope with her divorce — in front of Garth Brooks as he cries is not something I was emotionally ready for this morning https://t.co/pNfq6HWO2K
We had the most amazing time in Virginia Beach at Royal Beach Dual Nationals. The girls placed second both days, and did phenomenal!! I’m so thankful for these amazing coaches and the group of girls and parents that we’ve met through the U! Needless to say, we are hooked ❤️
Not every child walks back into school after Christmas break feeling rested, celebrated, or safe.
For some kids, the holidays are loud.
Or lonely.
Or heavy.
Or something they’re just relieved is over.
So as they come through our doors this week, love on your kids a little extra. A smile. A gentle word. Sitting down at their level. Letting them talk—or just letting them be quiet.
You may be the first genuine affection they’ve felt in two weeks.
The first adult who sees them.
The first place that feels steady again.
School isn’t just academics.
Sometimes it’s refuge.
Sometimes it’s regulation.
Sometimes it’s love.
Lead with grace this week.
