I used to work across the hallway from a ‘seasoned teacher’… she encouraged me daily (sometimes on the hour) to just be, to just r-e-l-a-x.
That seasoned teacher is now a retired teacher who still cheers me on with her many mantras of good old fashioned truths:
Be available.
Be kind.
Be compassionate.
Be transparent.
Be real.
Be thoughtful.
Be yourself.

Love u and am proud of u.
