Picture books are for everyone. This beauty, written and illustrated by Javaka Steptoe, tells us about the life of Jean-Michel Basquiat. I love it when one of my favorite artist writes and draws about one of my favorite artists. #Basquiat #PictureBooks #IllustratorsMatter #BHM #BlackHistoryMonth

This is the beautiful face of sweet Sonya. The thug who murdered her was sentenced to 20 years. All of my social media feeds are filled with his face, and I don’t want to see it. In an effort to make the world a more beautiful place, I’m posting the beautiful face of Sonya.

I’m usually more of a sunset girl, but I’m waking up to the idea of a great sunrise.

Why we sleep by Matthew Walker
The Sleep Book by Guy Meadows
The Sleep Revolution by Arianna Huffington
I’m writing one! Until then… The Body Keeps the Score is a good option. Also, What Happened to You? by Bruce Perry and Oprah.

Happy Gratitude Day!
Mercy— I need it. I’m not exempt from mistakes and foolishness. I am grateful for second chances (and third, seventeenth, and infinite chances). The good news is that there is enough grace and mercy to cover the worst of my worst. The other good news is that there’s enough for you too.

They show up for me—to celebrate or comfort-either way. When I forget who I am they remind me. They love me. They are beautiful, smart, and fun! I really do have the very best ones.

It’s really hard work to transform our minds, create new patterns, and heal from wounds that wired our nervous system decades ago. It’s really hard, but it is possible. I know. I’m doing it. Just so you know, healing and thriving is awesome.

In Springfield, Illinois, my social media feeds are filled with updates on the trial related to the murder of Sonya Massey. Rather than continuing to look at the face of the murderer, I decided to post Sonya’s beautiful face. #SayHerName #SonyaMassey #JusticeForSonya

Yes. I have seen students in the homeschool community thrive the most when they are part of a cohort, coop, or community. You know, co- something. Like, co-nnection.

As we get ready to start the 2025-2026 school year, it’s important to think about the importance of relationship-building and connection. Check out this little article I wrote for @ilascdsocial @il_ascd.
