"When there’s no firm deadline for the end of an ordeal—and no one really knows when the pandemic will end—it’s better to focus on getting through the day. Life isn’t lived two weeks from now, or two months from now. Life exists in the moment and nowhere else. " @MollyJongFast

This and so much of this!
When I find myself in tough conversations, when I am being held accountable, when I am called to unlearn, relearn, or just learn — This is my mantra. It’s been a game-changer. Less armor. More learning.

To close the achievement gap we have to close the relationship gap. The single greatest gift we can give a child is not more tests or standards; it’s a relationship with an adult who believes with relentless tenacity in their ability to succeed. #BreakingBold #ThursdayThoughts

When anxiety hits, and kids are trying to decide whether it’s safe enough for them to be brave enough, they’ll look to the adults around them for signs of safety. We fuel their brave when we send the message, ‘I see you, I’ve got you, & I know you can can do this.

Ditto! Working w/teachers since this outbreak started in China -all the triumphs, tears, exhaustion, & collaboration I’ve witnessed in teachers around the world is both ❤️ breaking & ❤️warming. All to make sure kids feel safe & cared for & ultimately emerge resilient through this
As we celebrate #TeacherAppreciationWeek, I am immensely grateful for all the teachers who are working tirelessly to maintain the important #relationships and #routines in children’s lives even though school buildings are closed.

Emerson, my 11 year old, is on a bit of a wild ride with the @USPS and our local mail carrier, Doug. And, I think there’s a deeper message to it all. First, the backstory...
