Pushing ahead A1
#resiliencechat
I think that if teachers had opportunities to learn
#mindfulness
skills, they would feel better in general.
MissShuganah

This might be self-evident, and yet, let's think it through...
MissShuganah

Most think of prayer as a way of asking that God guy for something, when it's really deeper than that.

But thing is, just like my mom and my grandma, no one nurtured them. So how could they nurture a six year-old kid?
