Hey guys I thought it would be great to share with each a highlight or a #win from this week! - Have you started something new? - Launched a community! - Had a great conversation! - Finished a project! - Added something to your classroom! I'll start... Last night TBH I was cry tired - it's been a mega week but I finished my day with a Zoom call with the beautiful @Kathy Roberts and she was like water to my weary soul! I can I believe in the wonderfulness (is that a word) of the people I am encountering here in Skool. I got off the call feeling refreshed and encouraged and inspired with some new ideas too. Thank you Kathy for being willing to take time to spend with me - I could have talked all night! ps - you gotta get to know this gal - she's amazing!

Today, I would like to share my latest creation with you. I made a few of these Christmas decorations for my family. They also include a special message that I would like to share with you here: A Little Christmas magic Take a moment just for yourself to remember what really matters. In the midst of all the hustle and bustle, it is often the quiet joys and warm moments of kindness that touch us most deeply. This little gift is meant to remind you not to overlook them — and to give you a little warmth and a smile.
