This isn’t just a painting—it’s a snapshot of love caught in the wind. Monet’s "Woman with a Parasol" (1875) shows his wife Camille and son Jean on a breezy day, a moment so alive, he painted it fast to hold on forever.

LEADERS!!!!!! It’s not the stuff. It’s the person delivering the stuff. FIRST DAY TEACHER TIRED is less about being TIRED from the FIRST DAY and more about being TIRED from everything that leads up to the FIRST DAY. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work #GiveYourselfAChance

Changing the way people talk about US starts with changing the way we talk about US. Also…4 year olds are magic. #1minwalk2work THROWBACK on a Thursday. Have a great day!!!

This week I asked grade 4 students to reflect on something that was challenging that others didn’t think they could do. G4 Student: Once my mom didn’t think I could eat 4 whole tocos, but I really thought I could. 😂😂😂😂 #thestruggleisreal

If you want people to TAKE A BREAK…model what it looks like to TAKE A BREAK. Sending emails and texts over the break doesn’t show them you work harder…it shows them they can never be away from the work. #LeadFromWhereYouAre #1minwalk2work #1minwalkthrowback

“Parents don’t come full bloom at the birth of their first baby. In fact, parenting is about growing. It’s about our own growing as much as our children’s growing, and that kind of growing happens little by little.”

It’s hard to take care of kids when we’re not taking care of the adults taking care of the kids. Recognize. Acknowledge. Extend. On repeat. #LeadFromWhoYouAre

Taking kids to the grocery can be a massive life skill! How do you care for people well? How do you live in a budget? How do you communicate well? It can be fun! This greatly reduces anxiety when they are young adults because they have skills.

Do SOMETHING... ANYTHING that provides PURPOSE in your routine to start your day. Routines aren’t good or bad. They just reveal what’s already there. People don’t remember the routine. They remember how they experienced you inside it. #LeadFromWhoYouAre #1minwalk2workthrowback
