My favorite little spot to lay out the mat = ☀️🌊🧜🏻‍♀️

Use an emoji to tell me yours. 

remember: it doesn’t matter what you do as long as you move your body in some way each day. Total game changer. Promise. 

For me, walking the 🐕‍🦺🐶 and 🧘🏼‍♀️are daily non-negotiables for my physical AND mental health. 

I do the @melissawoodhealth videos each day, and her upbeat, casual attitude, variety of low-impact strengthening workouts, and reminders to just keep coming back are key.

This book is SO different from any other I have read in the recent past, and it’s something that is both refreshing and hopeful. 

My friend @techninjatodd wanted to put out a book that would be a source of hope, a reminder that we are not alone. A testament to the fact that every season of life matters. 

And so, In This Season: Words From the Heart was born, with help from the amazing @apron_education @allylee21 @writtentospeak @omar2764

❄️❄️❄️❄️

Life is full of seasons.

Each of us has endured the cold of winter, the growth of spring, the light of summer, and the change of fall. We’ve climbed to the mountaintops and been deep in the valley.

In This Season: Words for the Heart takes the emotions we feel deep within and puts them into words. The pages of this book invite you to reflect and lean in as you continue through season after season.

🌸🌸🌸🌸

Check this book out, friends. It is worth your time, and it is the perfect book for busy educators to pick up, read a few pages over a quick cup of coffee before the day begins or as you kick up your feet at the end of the day. 

It feels like a quiet conversation with a close friend or dear colleague. Important topics are touched on which remind us that our feelings and thoughts and insecurities are often not as unusual as we may think. Rather, these ups and downs of life are a shared experience that could—and should!—be shared more frequently and openly. The reminder that we are not alone could not come at a more pivotal time for all of us; in the past two years, we have been reminded that life is short but that seasons change. Let’s make the most of what we have!

Thank you, Todd, LaNesha, Tanner, and Alice for starting this conversation. 

☀️☀️☀️☀️

Grab it here: https://amzn.to/3O4jMqN

And do follow these great writers, educators, and thought leaders.
