Monday Motivation
Happy Monday! As we start the week, let’s all focus on what we CAN do, the blessings we have, and the difference we can make around us.
No matter what uphill battle you are facing, I hope you’ll remember, you’ve got this!
I hope your week is wonderful and productive!

How about a little humor on this Monday? Our new little kitty and “the big, white monster”😂 are playing for the first time! Yay!👏 We’d be honored if you joined us on TikTok.
Until next time,
We Made It!
Just Do What You Can! 👍🏻
“Just do what you can!” This quote hit home for me today! As I’m pretty much stuck sitting around, this one got me all up in my feels.
I’ve been having some anxiety about returning to work tomorrow after my knee reconstruction surgery for a torn ACL. I’ve had the last week off due to the Thanksgiving break (thank goodness), but tomorrow it’s back to business.
I truly underestimated this recovery, thinking it would be a piece of cake 🍰 compared to my neck surgery three years ago. Yikes! 😳
I needed this quote and thought someone else might too! We can only do what we can do- no more, and most of the time, that is suffice. 👌

Do what you can! I’m not sure what tomorrow holds, but I’ll do what I can and not beat myself up for what I CANNOT do!
Until next time,
Kindness Is Beautiful
Kindness IS beautiful! Yes, I know it’s Thursday, but a true act of kindness occurred yesterday (on Wednesday). Therefore, it can still be Wednesday’s Wise Words, right?! 😂I’m also a day behind due to my injured knee and yesterday’s MRI (results are NOT what I wanted – I have a torn ACL. 😫
Going through neck surgery and now a knee injury is truly eye-opening. As small as your gestures and words may seem, it’s huge to those around you.
At our teacher’s luncheon yesterday, I was trying to get my own lunch and drink, obviously struggling. That one teacher who saw this and kindly offered to help made my day. Not only was it necessary, but it was so appreciated and unforgettable. This male teacher needs to know that his gentleman qualities went far!
It just made me think how small gestures matter and make a huge difference to those around you.
Make someone smile today! Be kind because it truly IS beautiful! 💜
Until next time,
Words Matter! Just Say It!
Words matter! We all know how scarring and damaging words can be. We have all said words that we wish we could quickly retract and shove back in our mouths.
If you are teaching, parenting, or even around today’s generation, you know they are going through some major turmoil and issues. Words CAN make a lasting difference.
Yes, I know some kids are harder to like than others, but all kids need to feel like they belong. It is truly more than important than any math, grammar, or reading skill we can teach them. You matter! I love having you in my class – words that are quick and simple to relay to them!
I saw this image yesterday and wanted to share! It takes us seconds to say kind words, but their powerful effect can last a lifetime! 💜

Until next time,
