Wobbling Wavering Wednesday!!!
Good Morning Most Awesome Wonderful Educators! I just gonna be very honest! It must be because I’m tired. The past few days I have gone to bed at 2:00am and gotten back up at 6:30am like clock work. I always say follow your feelings but the past few days it has given me joy to be mean and surly. LOL! (Now that just made me laugh! That came from a movie with Whoopi Goldberg, when she put on her husband’s gravestone. . . Mean & Surly. . . . LOL!) Well this is just what I’m talking about. Yesterday when I woke up, I was playing my music and singing and dancing! I was very upbeat. But as soon as I got to school, I felt like being mean and surly! I actually enjoyed it. Until my Kindergarteners came in. They won’t allow me being grumpy to stop them from singing, playing, laughing, and dancing! It was so funny because one of them came up to talk to me and I didn’t turn to look at him but I answered. I just didn’t look at him so he stood right there and kept calling my name. At that moment, I decided to shake off my hatefulness and put on a smile and turn to him. He simply said “I missed you” and gave me a hug followed by the rest of the class . It was like they knew I wasn’t myself and waited for me to bring the vibration of joy back into my mind! That was enough to keep me going for the rest of the day!
I mentioned this story about yesterday, because I woke up this morning in the same head space. But just remembering that moment with my kids really gave me life. It’s funny, as I walked around telling other teachers I was feeling Mean and Surly. They all said “Didn’t you do your positive thing this morning?” That the thing; I did do it! But that’s why I’m sharing this story. To show that it is truly a choice. I choose JOY! People think you can’t have days like this when you’re normally a positive person. However one of my affirmations says, “Everyone is always helpful” and “I love my students and they love me”. So even when I feel at my lowest, God sends someone to pull me out of it! To help me choose a joyful thought! Many times it is my students. They seem to have a keen sense to gauge emotions and they know exactly what to do and say to help people from being Wobbling and Wavering!
Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I love my life! I love and approve of myself as I am right here and now! I love the people I work with! Everyone is always helpful. I love my students. I bless each one with love. I know that the love I send to my students and fellow teachers, comes back to me. ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove
Trusting God Tuesday
Good Morning Awesome Educators and Friends!!!! In turbulent times when It seems like nothing is going right; I have learn to trust God even more. God always gives you what you expect. So normally when I’m experiencing craziness, I have to go into the classroom of my mind and look at my thoughts that are creating it. Craziness in my mind = craziness in my personal experience. That’s when I trust God all the more. I know that once I clean my thought patterns, he will help clean the craziness out of my life! I serve a God that is loving and caring! Whatever I choose the think, believe, and speak; God starts arranging and rearranging things in the universe for me to take steps toward it! God is so good! It’s easier to trust him once you realize that he only gives back to you what your thoughts will allow! Life is easy because I trust God to do what he does best!
Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I trust God to bring me my highest good! I am excited about life! I teach with ease! My students learn with ease! I am cleaning my thoughts and creating wonderful new experiences. I love myself and approve of myself! I am grateful to serve a God that is good! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove
Majestic Monday
Good Morning Most Awesome and Wonderful Educators and Friends!! I was listening to Donald Lawrence last night before I went to bed. He has a song that says watch what you speak because “There is a King in You!” That made me imagine the King sitting on the throne dishing out orders and people doing everything he tells them to do. Then the cook or whoever it is brings the royal grapes and feeds them to him! That also made me laugh a little bit! I’m gonna teach from that space, today! How great it would be if we all could realize the majestic qualities in our own thought patterns and beliefs.
Whatever we think and speak, will begin to happen. Our royal subjects (Universe) are standing ready to please us.
Truthfully, we do have those majestic qualities! Just look at your life now. Everything you believe normally happens, right? When you tell somebody that something will not go right, doesn’t it normally not go right? (Majestic Qualities) For most of us, life has been filled with stuff that doesn’t go right. If this is you? You’re in luck! Louise Hay says the point of power is always in the present moment. So right now, today, you can visit the classroom of your mind and start speaking positive things and they will start turning into your beliefs. Once you believe it, that belief turns into those majestic qualities. Then new things will start showing up in your experience! That’s why I continue to speak that my classroom is a peaceful haven. It truly has become that. Unless I chose not to allow it to be. So today, let’s allow the good king to rise up and make it a great day!
Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I start the day with a song! I’m grateful to be alive! Great things are always flowing my way. Everyone is always helpful! I love my students and reflect that love back to me. My classroom is a peaceful haven! I teach with ease. My students learn with ease. Teaching is easy, wonderful, awesome, great, making a difference, is my passion. I love what I do! ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD!#IBlessMySchoolWithLove

Just A Thought
I have been talking about following your feelings. Which brought me to thinking about what happened in my class the other day. I got angry with one of my first graders. She was picking at another student and yelled “don’t you dare do that!” and as she tried to explain, I said “I don’t care, we don’t talk about people”. This made her sit and cry. I felt really bad. But I went on and kept teaching and no sooner than I turned on the song; she got up and started dancing and back to laughing like nothing ever happened.In that small amount of time she went from anger to dispair to hopefulness and back to joy while I was still lingering in the anger. I feel like that’s why the children of today don’t understand us adults. We dwell and wallow in our feelings whereas children have the feeling and let it pass. Maybe that’s why Jesus talks about the children leading us.
Fine Day Friday!!
Good Morning Most Awesome Wonderful Educators and Friends!!!! Today is a mighty fine day! It’s a mighty fine day to follow your feelings! Many times people feel that since you’re doing positive affirmations that you shouldn’t get mad or sad. I don’t think that. I think you should follow and explore those feelings or if you feel it is insignificant, have the feeling and let it pass on through. When I say explore the feeling, I mean, follow that anger then visit the classroom of your mind and ask yourself” why did that make you so angry?” Now you are stepping out the angry victim role to the understanding victor role! Thinking positive doesn’t take away your ability to get angry, it should just help you not to stay angry for long and it should help you understand why you are even angry in the first place. Once I discover why I am angry or sad, I make or find an affirmation about it and say it daily! That’s why I daily say “I release the need to try and control everything and everyone.” Control is normally the source of my anger. Then is boils down to me not loving myself or me not trusting life. That’s I keep letting those affirmations get deep into my mind so that soon those issues won’t be so frequent. So take this mighty fine day to follow your feelings.
Abraham says “Joseph Campbell says follow your bliss, but sometimes you can’t get a whiff of bliss from where you are. So we say if you’re in despair, follow your revenge. It’s down stream. If you’re in revenge follow your hatred. It’s down stream. If you’re in hatred follow your anger. It’s down stream. If you’re in anger, follow your frustration. It’s downstream. If you’re in frustration, follow your hope. It’s down stream. If you’re in hope. . . . Now you are in the vibration of appreciation!” (Me being in sync with the whole of who I am)
Daily Affirmations: Today is an Amazing Day! I am glad to be me! All my changes are good! I love and approve of myself. I release the need to try and control everything and everyone and I affirm that I trust the process of life. ALL IS WELL AND I AM SAFE! I am an understanding victor! I create my reality with my mind. God has made me just like him a powerful creator! ALL IS WELL IN MY CLASSROOM! ALL IS WELL IN MY SCHOOL! ALL IS WELL IN MY WORLD! #IBlessMySchoolWithLove
