I had a big ol’ party planned but life had other plans, and I’m so grateful for gals who understand, support me, help me, and balance out my crazy!

I am loving all the posts lately about teacher boundaries and “opt-outs.” I promise no one will ever say “I’m here on this stage because my teacher kept my papers graded on time,” or “you changed Freddie’s life with your amazing bulletin boards.”
What will we hear though?!?
I am here because you loved me.
I made it because you made me feel safe.
My teacher taught me I was worthy of love.
She spent time with me, and it made all the difference.
So set those boundaries! Opt-out of what’s not important and just love those babies. ❤️
