{positive commitments} #sol16

I debated writing today. I debated about what to write about today.

I did my usual pre-procrastination social media scroll.

Twitter. Instagram. Pinterest.

Ahhhh ... I linger as I scroll and smile.

"Yes. Oh, I like that one. Favorite that! Agreed.  I needed to hear that."

 And, so, to continue on with my procrastination, I needed to share my love ...


And, thus, a tweet that led to writing this slice.

This last year I needed some positive reinforcements and to re-commitment to staying positive. Thus a Pinterest board full of positivity was created and I invited my biggest positive reinforcement team to join in the pinning: my Mom, and my friends and colleagues, Karen and Chris.  Together we add quotes, images, and powerful words to lift us when we need it and to stay strong in our roles as mothers, teachers, friends, colleagues, and writers!




I love checking in on the positive commitment pins they add each day.

A positive reminder that I am not alone and we can do BIG things together!

Thank you, Mom, Karen and Chris for being my biggest positive commitment cheerleaders!

You are the best! And this is for you ....

    I LOVE our Pinterest board. It's fun to throw a snarky poster in there every once in awhile (because I'm human!). I love that board for a little pick me up! XOXO

    Always searching for just the right quote to help all 3 of you manage your daily needs of reinforcement and positive thinking in this negative world. I enjoy reading what y'all have added to. These quotes mean as much to me as they do to you. Love ya, Mom

    If it makes you feel better, I "procrastinate" by scrolling through social media too! I keeping vowing to change this, but I get so many good ideas, even though I feel that it squanders my time away. Thanks for sharing your positivity board, Michelle. It sent good vibes my way and that certainly isn't a squandering of my time.

{#sol15} deeper than beauty 8/31

The March Slice of Life Story Challenge hosted  at the  Two Writing Teachers Join us for a month of writing! I have twin four and a half -- almost five! -- year old daughters.  I try to be consciously aware of what I say and do in regards to my body image and self-esteem and also with their body image and self-esteem. First of all, because I don't want them to believe everything that society says is true.  Even if they don't fully understand it today.  In addition, because they are fraternal twin sisters, I want them to understand they are individuals with unique and different bodies that God created for each of them.   However, society -- including my loving family and friends -- tell a different story and harmlessly create a comparison war.   My girls constantly hear how beautiful, adorable, cute, fill-in-the-blank with any other
