Good morning everyone

Today is D-DAY

Honor the HEROES

Today marks the 81st
anniversary of 156,000 strategically landing of British, Canadian, and AMERICAN troops on the beaches of Normandy.

They were all so young and brave...

Honor Them All
This meme touches my heart
Fight Fascism

It's like ... they are doing whatever they can to take down the government. I mean, they're probably saying, "let's put in the most unqualified people in positions of power."

Enough already. 22 years old... give me a break. And WTF is with that eyebrow?

Congressman Casar tells it like it is. This should go viral! Seriously!

Thank you! @nowakro.bsky.social I appreciate that you continue to host #BuildHOPEedu and keep building HOPE

In times of uncertainty, I hope to be a beacon of hope, making a difference. During challenging times, the world needs us to shine, inspire, & lift others so they keep moving forward. Even in tough times, there are always opportunities to be a source of optimism and resilience.

Power of Hope: Teaching and Developing Hopeful Thinking in Students | Inspired Engagement What is Hope? Hope is not simply being optimistic or happy all the time. Hope is not the lottery of luck or the hope some students have for higher grades when they have not completed their assignments...

Hi, Gretchen! Been some time. Great to see you!

Why Is Hope Important? (14 Reasons) Hope is more than just a fleeting thought; it's the foundation of our courage to face each new day.

A2. #BuildHOPEedu
Hope is the foundation of our courage to face each new day. It reminds us that there’s an after to every before, a resolve for every challenge, & a new chapter waiting to be written, despite seemingly endless plot twists in our lives, especially now.

Glad I could join you, Roman. I love how you share about building HOPE and never giving up. #BuildHOPEedu

A1. #BuildHOPEedu
You can be a pillar of HOPE for others by being the change you want to see. Share how having HOPE for the future helps you set goals, and share your story and how you overcame challenges to become who you are today.

What an amazing woman to have survived with her family on the forest.

We all should remember. We all should take to heart of her words regarding kindness.
