Finally reading @Roshani_Chokshi's Aru Sha, and I'm both delighted and irritated. Delighted there's finally a book about a little girl going on adventures with Hindu gods. Irritated I didn't write it first...@camphalfblood
“why some people be mad at me sometimes”
by Lucille Clifton
they ask me to remember
but they want me to remember
their memories
and i keep on remembering
mine.

One of the best things I ever did was remove myself from people who thrive on chaos and drama. You don’t know how exhausting it is until you’re free from it. Your nervous system will thank you.
EMOTIONAL RESILIENCE LOOKS LIKE:
1. I can cope with disappointment
2. I can tolerate differences of opinion
3. I allow myself to feel what I feel without shaming myself
4. I can have uncomfortable conversations
5. I don’t take things personally
6. I trust that if someone has an issue, they’ll directly communicate it to me
7. I can communicate without character attacks when I disagree
8. I can soothe myself when I feel uncertain or anxious
9. When I or say something I regret, I apologize and don’t beat myself up
Data isn't about the kids.
Data doesn't define them.
Data does act like a looking-glass into learning.
The learning WE provided.
Data results in questions.
Questions about the learning we gave.
Those questions lead to our work in how to make it better.
That's all data is.
