"It's you I like. It's not the things you wear. It's not the way you do your hair. But it's you I like, the way you are right now, the way down deep inside you. Not the things that hide you. ...It's you I like."

If speaking kindly to plants helps them to grow, imagine what speaking kindly to kids can do.

“You know, you can always help to make each day a special day by just you being yourself. You grow in your own way. Everyone does. That’s one reason each one of us is different and special and people can like us exactly as we are.”

There is a power in our collective belief that all kids can learn at a deep level!!

There’s so much negativity in the world. Be safe, be respectful, be responsible, but most of all Be Kind. If people can’t do those few things then I really don’t wish to engage with them and that includes followers on Twitter. My account, my opinions.

It's been a long week. Give yourself two minutes to feel good about the world again. Doorbell cameras caught kids leaving their own Halloween candy for a young girl diagnosed with leukemia. This is what we're here for. ♥️💪

You know you live in the country when...

And there it is…….

This is powerful! 🙌
