TL;DR: 7 bad habits to get rid of for 2023 • #1: Saying yes to everything • #2: Needing everyone to like you • #3: Not making time for yourself • #4: Staying in your comfort zone • #5: Obsessive overthinking • #6: Not valuing your time • #7: Giving up too soon

During the lockdowns, I stated I'd NEVER play a concert venue that forced fans to show their "papers" for entry concerning Covid. One venue added that rule after I agreed to play, so I cancelled it. The promoter sued me. He LOST the case today! Happy to say I never bent the knee.

Today we had a wonderful guest reader, Mrs. Sidebotham. A Bad Case of Stripe by David Shannon was brought to life!! All the students were hanging onto every word!! Thank you Mrs. Sidebotham!! #windingcreek

Ended our week with 2 more amazing guest readers! Mrs. Story and Mrs. Myers are 2 of our special friends! Thank you for sharing your talents with us! #windingcreekva
