So good…one of my all-time favorite exercises as a teacher…encouraging students to leave unexpected affirmations around campus. Thank you for this reminder, Beth. Never more helpful! 💕

Reading words on the mirror are magically more “reflective” than reading messages on the fridge

I so agree, and one of them with a phone number to call to talk to a live person to offer you an affirmation, says it is a school project –

Kindness and compassion is important to give to others. If we would treat others the way we would like to be treated things would go a lot smoother.
