Change. Expect it.
It’s the 3rd Monday since we’ve been back-to-school. I feel tired, worn-out, beat up, overwhelmed, anxious, stressed, confused, inefficient, ineffective, and exhausted. I feel like every ounce of my energy has been zapped and that I have nothing left to give.
Today was special. Aligned. Amidst the changing of the leaves and the soothing sounds of water, I gave thanks. I let go. And I set heartfelt intentions. Ase 🌕✨🍂
I don’t want to die anytime soon, but if I do, I know I’ve lived a full life.
Race is a social construct that changes in different times and spaces. I believe this. Throughout my entire life, I’ve experienced this. In some spaces I’ve felt like royalty while in others I’ve felt assaulted without ever being touched. Social construct or not, racism is real.
Letting things go like the trees losing their leaves. Always thankful for mother nature’s reminders. 🙏🏾Ase✨ Tamla
Today was Orange Shirt day. Not only did I forgot to wear mine, but I also forgot to remind my students to wear theirs. 🤦🏾♀️ In my defence, ‘Orange Shirt Day’ is an ongoing, year-long learning journey for us. Orange Shirt Day is everyday.
Great book. Lots of repetitive, rhyming fun. But, I missed the mark in terms of it being a HIT with my Grade 1/2's transition back-to-school. Maybe I'd been away from face-to-face teaching for too long. Maybe my students forgot how to play (highly unlikely). Likely, I 'temporarily' forgot what 5-7 year olds like.
Counting my blessings.
I woke up at 5:30am this morning. 30 minutes before my usual wake-up time and it made a world of difference. Starting this week off with more energy than I woke up with. Happy Monday! 🍂✨ Tamla
