Do good. And expect nothing in return.
Glimmers
The Weight of Worry
Our heads and hearts need space for both the present moment and the future we are trying to build.
Readers, Moles, and Data
Do not minimize your story. Your story is not too small. You are not too small to tell it. We need your stories. We need to make space for storytelling and story listening in our schools and organizations.
The Real Work
Seeing progress reminds us that our actions matter.
Less is More
We can do hard things without being hard on ourselves. We can do hard things without being hard on others. We can do good work while living good lives.
Bravely Contributing
At the end of the day, everyone is someone’s kid. Don’t forget to take care of your inner kid too.
Baked Potatoes, Candles, & Mistakes
Sometimes, when things don’t go as planned, the stress of the moment can make for a great story later.
Vulnerability is Magic
If nothing else this week, if you listened, you did the work. Don’t underestimate the power of good listening.
The Space Between
Some of us needed space over the break and didn’t get it. Perhaps you experienced too much togetherness or politically charged dinner conversations. When we return from the break, let’s recognize that not everyone got the break they needed. Maybe give them a little space, so they can gently reenter the school routine.
An Overlooked Durable Skill
Remain in patience pursuit of what matters most. And be patient with yourself and others as you work to make it happen.
