My assistant teacher sent a video explaining about her hair (gone now), and the kids sent a video to tell her she was still beautiful

Words are powerful

And feelings are everywhere

Caution: watch your lips❗️

Good morning Julie!

First let me wish you a true time of Thanksgiving tomorrow. Your post spoke of hope, gratitude for the counselor at your children’s school, preparation for tomorrow’s celebration, and your dedication to brushing aside the constraints from your past to reveal your unlimited goodness. Committing to the course of always growing - yes, thriving - and liking what you see is the best!

I thought of the title of a song by Ed Ames from the 60’s that seemed a good fit for what you wrote today: “My Cup Runneth Over With Love.”

Always make sure you’re working with a cup large enough to contain your self-love. Ideas about not being enough, planted in childhood, are lies and well deserve being treated as such.

Thank you for your words of inspiration that brim over from your posts. 🙏🏽

Good morning Gary,

Thank you so much for your beautiful and kind comments. I will need to google that song. :) It's sounds like one I would enjoy.

Self-love...it's a daily practice I must admit. Writing is helping for sure!

Thank you again and Happy Thanksgiving to you and yours.

I should have noted that the lyrics themselves are basically a love song. Not lustful but not speaking to the growth of our souls. Our spirits. The image of an overflowing cup is still wonderful. Except when I spill my coffee!🤭
