There is a question I’ve been pondering for several days:
✨“What would you create if acceptance was irrelevant?” ✨
It has been liberating in powerful ways. #writingcommunity & #kidlit friends, what about you? What would you create?

May you never forget your ability to adapt, grow, and learn. But if you do, look outside and see how the trees, the grass, and the flowers adapt to the barriers around them. For you are a force of nature.
